1. Practices.
a. Wire diagrams that may be useful when performing lighting related
maintenance tasks can be found at www.blraerospace.com.
b. Instruction methods and sequences are recommended. Use of standard
practices with alternate methods and sequences that produce the same
result is acceptable.
c. While performing wiring related maintenance tasks, unless otherwise
specified, the Beech King Air maintenance manual (MM) standard
practices should be used. If the Beech King Air MM standard practices
do not exist, then AC43.13-1B Chapter 11 is to be followed.
d. While performing wiring related maintenance tasks, note wiring supports
and service loops that are removed or altered during maintenance
processes and ensure that they are restored as part of the maintenance
task.
2. Troubleshooting.
a. Troubleshoot lighting by checking for loose connections and by verifying
power and ground functionality at STC modifications. If connections,
power, and ground are functioning and lights are not operating then
lamp and/or light and/or power supply replacement is necessary.
i. For winglet LED combination position and anti-collision light only:
The anti-collision light portion is designed with 24 LEDs. The
position light portion is designed with 6 LEDs. If any fail, the light
assembly must be replaced.
ii. For winglet LED recognition light only: The recognition light is
designed with 6 LEDs. If any LED fails, the light assembly may be
replaced.
iii. For tail LED combination position and anti-collision light only: The
anti-collision light portion is designed with 18 LEDs and the
position light portion is designed with 4 LEDs. If any fail, the light
assembly must be replaced.

3. Overview
a. STC Incandescent Lighting Configuration (refer to 33-40-20-01, Figure 1):
STC Incandescent lighting consists of winglet incandescent position,
xenon anti-collision and incandescent or LED recognition lights that are
used in conjunction with existing OEM tail incandescent position and
xenon anti-position lights (factory option). The installation of winglets
includes the removal of OEM wingtip incandescent position, xenon anti-
collision (factory option), and incandescent recognition (factory option)
lighting system components when installed. When factory options are not
installed, the corresponding winglet lights are included but are not
connected to aircraft power and will not function.
b. STC LED Lighting Configuration (refer to 33-40-20-01, Figure 2):
STC LED lighting consists of LED winglet lights (position, anti-collision and
recognition) that are used in conjunction with LED tail lights (combination
position and anti-collision). The installation of winglets includes the
removal of OEM wingtip incandescent position, xenon anti-collision
(factory option), and incandescent recognition (factory option) lighting
system components when installed. The installation of LED tail lights
includes the removal of OEM tail incandescent position and xenon anti-
collision (factory option) lighting system components when installed. When
the factory option light is not installed, the corresponding LED light is
included but is not connected to aircraft power and will not function.

51-10 – Composite Inspections


The following techniques are used to inspect the BLR Winglet System composite
winglet, many times, in conjunction with one another:
51-10-10 – Visual Inspection
Employed as the primary means to identify indications of further damage. An eye
loupe is often used to supplement the inspection. It should be noted that, in
general, composite structure does not “dent” in the same manner aluminum does,
given the same impact conditions. Composite structure is very resilient on the
surface and can mask greater internal damage. Chipped paint or a scratched
surface are indications that should be investigated further by other means.
51-10-20 – Tactile/Auditory Inspection
This method is used as a means of detecting damage that can be missed with the
visual method due to lighting conditions, glare, paint color or patterns, etc. The
hand and fingers are remarkably sensitive to contour and texture changes which
can be indicative of additional damage. A combination of tactile and auditory
inspections can be used by applying hand pressure to the structure, and listening
for unusual noises like “snapping”, “crackling” or “popping”, which indicates
internal damage.
51-10-30 – Tap Testing Inspection
Tap testing may be used to evaluate the condition of composite laminated and
bonded structures using the auditory sense. Surfaces to be inspected must be dry
and have all oil or grease removed. This inspection must be conducted in a
relatively quiet area. The method consists of lightly tapping the surface of the part
with a suitable object and comparing the acoustic response with the response of a
“known” damage free area. Tools used for the tap test can include such items as a
tap hammer or a coin such as a quarter. The tapping rate is adjusted to produce a
nearly continuous sound response so that any difference in sound tone can be
detected. A “flat” or “dead” response indicates an area of internal damage in the
form of, but not limited to, delamination or dis-bond. The acoustic response of a
good part can vary dramatically with changes in geometry. The entire area of
interest must be tapped. The method is limited to finding relatively shallow defects
in the graphite laminate and possibly the bond line between the laminate and core.

57-30-40 – Replace Winglet Procedure


1. Overview:
a. These procedures provide instructions for two primary replacement
situations.
i. Remove a damaged winglet and reinstall the same repaired
winglet with and without replacing the lights.
ii. Remove a damaged winglet and install a new replacement
winglet with and without new lights.
b. Winglet lighting type (incandescent or LED), replacement winglet type
(repaired or new) and whether or not existing lights or new lights will be
used affects details of the procedures.
2. Practices:
a. CAUTION: There will be occasions during these procedures when the
winglet is on the airplane but not secured with installation fasteners.
During these occasions, temporarily secure the winglet to avoid the
winglet shifting or falling.
b. While performing wiring related maintenance tasks, unless otherwise
specified, the Beech maintenance manual (MM) standard practices should
be used. If the Beech MM standard practices do not exist, then
AC43.13-1B Chapter 11 is to be followed.
c. While performing wiring related maintenance tasks, note wiring supports
and service loops that are removed or altered during maintenance
processes and ensure that they are restored as part of the maintenance
task.
