AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
A. General
GROB Aircraft SE, Lettenbachstraße 9, 86874 Tussenhausen-Mattsies, Germany, is the manufacturer of the
G 120TP-A aircraft. The G 120TP-A is certified in the UTILITY and ACROBATIC category.
B. Description
The Grob G 120TP-A (Figure 1) is a single-turbo-prop, low-wing monoplane. It has a cantilever wing with winglets
and a normal tail unit.
The cabin accommodates two side-by-side seats with dual controls for the pilots. A baggage compartment behind
the seats can hold 50 kg (110 lb).
Wrap-around windows, give a good all-round view from the cockpit.
The fuselage is made of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP), partly sandwich. The vertical stabilizer is part of the
fuselage shell. The windscreen arch, the instrument panel support and the seat-back frame add to the strength
in the area of the cockpit.
FRP sandwich makes the one-part horizontal stabilizer. Four bolts attach the stabilizer to the fuselage. The two-
part elevator has a trim and servo tab for control force adjustment.
Each wing is made of FRP sandwich. Each wing has a stub spar. Two large bolts connect the left and right wings.
Three bolts in the root ribs connect each wing to the fuselage. Ailerons and flaps made of FRP foam sandwich
attach to the rear spar of each wing.
A polyester gel-coat, static-conducting filler and polyurethane paint protect the composite structure.
The Grob G 120TP-A has a retractable tricycle landing gear. The main landing gear has oleo-pneumatic springs
and damping. It attaches to the wing spar. Each main landing gear wheel has a single hydraulic disk brake. The
nose gear attaches to a pivot on the turbine mount. An oleo-pneumatic damper within the leg absorbs the landing
loads. The rudder pedals connect to the nose wheel for steering on the ground.
The Grob G 120TP-A has 2 control sticks. The flight control system uses conventional ailerons, rudder and
elevators. Push-pull rods operate the elevators and ailerons. Flexible steel cables operate the rudder. An electric
motor with a screw-jack drive operates the flaps.
The propulsion system has a Rolls Royce type 250-B17F turbine engine. It turns a five-blade, constant-speed,
variable pitch propeller made by MT-Propeller.
Each wing has an integral fuel tank. The fuel tanks have a total capacity of 360 litres. Each fuel tank has a filler
cap on the top of the wing. Drain valves are installed in the bottom of each tank.
The GROB G 120TP-A is protected against lightning strike. The filler on the outer surfaces conducts electricity.
The outer surfaces bond to metal "ground" strips in the wings and fuselage. All aircraft metal parts are bond to
these ground strips.
The air conditioning system can provide refrigerated or heated air.
The aircraft has two sources of electrical power. It has:
- A 24-volt battery
- A starter-generator.
The battery can supply essential systems for at least 30 minutes in an emergency situation. Switches and circuit
breakers control all electrical devices.
The GROB G 120TP-A has a full range of instruments. The instruments that are installed depend on the kind of
operation. They can include UHF (optional) and VHF communications, radio navigation aids, GPS, air data,
attitude and heading reference systems.

WEIGHING
WEIGHING
PRE-OPERATION
A. General
Only operate the aircraft within the permitted range of weight and center of gravity limits. This will give good
flight performance with good handling qualities. It is also necessary for safety.
If you make any changes to the aircraft that will alter the weight (or the center of gravity), then you must
weigh the aircraft and calculate its center of gravity.
Only an approved person can weigh the aircraft. The national airworthiness authority of the country where
the aircraft is registered gives approval for persons to weigh the aircraft. And it gives the time limits.
An approved person must record the empty weight in the Weight and Balance Record (Flight Manual
G 120TP-A, Section 6). The approved person must also record the center of gravity and the payload.

1 PROCEDURE
A. General
This chapter tells you how to weigh the aircraft and confirm the Center of Gravity.
It tells you also how to use the Weigh and Balance Form to find the result in an easy way.
Therefore perform the steps as follows:
(1) Find in your aircraft documentation the Weight and Balance Form (refer to Figure 3).
(2) Use a blank copy of the Weight and Balance Form (refer to Figure 3) for calculation of the lever
arm for the Center of Gravity. Record your weighing data and calculation of the lever arm for Center
of Gravity at the first copy of the Weigh and Balance Form.
(3) Prepare a second blank copy of the Weight and Balance Form for final documentation.
(4) After final calculation and preparation of the aircraft (with additional or removal ballast) perform a
final documentation on the second blank copy with the final weighing data.
Note Therefore, at final weighing, it should be not necessary to use the values XCG+, M+ and G
+ any more.
B. Preparation
(1) Make sure that the aircraft has all its equipment and that the equipment is in the location shown
in the equipment list.
Note Remove the oxygen cylinder assembly (if installed) or subtract the weight of the oxygen
cylinder assembly while the calculation.
(2) Clean the aircraft and dry it, refer to Unscheduled Servicing Clean and Apply Surface Protection.
(4) Defuel the aircraft to the unusable fuel level, refer to Fuel System Defuel.
(5) Add engine oil to the maximum level, refer to Engine Oil System Servicing.
(6) Add brake fluid to the maximum level, refer to Brake System Servicing.
(7) Add hydraulic fluid to the maximum level, refer to Landing Gear Hydraulic System Servicing.
(8) Make sure that the air conditioning system has the correct amount of refrigerant, refer to Cooling
General.
(9) Put the seats in the third position from the front.
(10) Prepare the electronic load cells for weighing the aircraft. Obey the manufacturer's instruction for
the load cells.
C. Weighing Procedure
Weigh the aircraft by the steps as follows:
(1) Put the weighing units in position on the jacks. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction.
Note Make sure that the scale of the weighing units is set to zero.
(2) Lift the aircraft on jacks, refer to Lift the Aircraft on Jacks Servicing.
Note Lift the aircraft until no tyre has contact to the ground.
(3) Level the aircraft laterally and longitudinally (refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2), refer to Leveling
Servicing.
(9) For each jacking point record the value of any scale error in the column ‘Tare [kg]’.
(10) For each jacking point calculate the net weight values. Subtract (or add as appropriate) the
additional weight value from the related weighing scale reading to give the Net Weight.
Net [kg] = Gross [kg] - Tare [kg]
Record the value on the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) in the column ‘Net [kg]’ for each .
(11) Calculate the Empty Weight G. Add together the three values in the column ‘Net [kg]’.
G = G1 + G2LH + G2RH
Record the result Empty Weight G in the box under these three values.
(12) Calculate the Moment M1 for the nose jacking. Multiply the Net [kg] G1 by the Lever Arm [m] X 1.
M1 = G1 * X1
Record the result in the box under Empty Weight Moment [kgm]. This is the Moment M1.
(13) Calculate the moment M2LH for the left main jacking point. Multiply the Net [kg] G2LH by the Lever
Arm [m] X 2LH.
M2LH = G2LH * X2LH
Record the result in the box under Empty Weight Moment [kgm]. This is the Moment M2LH.
(14) Calculate the moment M2RH for the right main jacking point. Multiply the Net [kg] G2RH by the Lever
Arm [m] X 2RH.
M2RH = G2RH * X2RH
Record the result in the box under Empty Weight Moment [kgm]. This is the Moment M2RH.
(15) Calculate the aircraft Empty Moment M. Add together the values M1, M2LH and M2RH.
M = M1 + M2LH + M2RH
Record the result in the box under Empty Weight Moment [kgm]. This is the Moment M.
(16) Calculate the lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG (behind the Datum Plane BE).
Divide the Empty Moment M by the Empty Weight G.
XCG = M / G
Record the result in the box under Empty Weight Center of Gravity [m]. This is lever arm of the
Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG.
(17) The lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity must be within the limit XCG shown on the
Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3).
If the lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity is not within the limit, you must add (or
remove) ballast to (from) the shock mounts.
Note You can add (or remove) ballast weights to the left, middle and/or right engine shock
mounts, refer to Ballast Weight Remove and Install.
(18) Calculate the approximate amount of ballast to add (or remove) as follows:
(a) If the lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG is larger than the maximum limit
(2.695 m) you must add ballast to the shock mounts.
D is the distance you must move the empty-weight center of gravity position.
Calculate the distance D. Subtract the maximum limit from the actual lever arm of the Empty
Weight Center of Gravity XCG.
D = XCG - 2.695 m
This is the distance D you must shorten the center of gravity lever arm in flight direction.
(b) If the lever arm of the lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG is shorter than
the minimum limit (2.670 m) you must remove ballast from the shock mounts:
Calculate the distance D. Subtract the actual lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of
Gravity XCG from the minimum limit.
D = 2.670 m - XCG
This is the distance D you must increase the center of gravity lever arm against flight
direction.
(d) Calculate the additional (or removal) weight BS. Divide the distance D by 1.7.
BS = D / 1.7
This is the approximate minimum weight B of ballast in [kg] to add (or remove).
(19) Select ballast weights BLH, BMID and/or BRH to add (or remove) at each of the three locations.
Note Select a slightly larger total value than calculated value (approximately + 1 to 2 kg).
(20) Record the values of the ballast weights B added (or removed) on each mounting to the Weight
and Balance Form (Figure 3) to BLH, BMID and/or BRH .
(21) Calculate the moment MB of the ballast weights. Multiply the ballast weight B at each mounting by
the arm, refer to Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3).
MBLH = BLH * 0,731 m
MBMID = BMID * 0,721 m
MBRH = BRH * 0,757 m
Record the value on the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) to MBLH, MBMID and/or MBRH .
(22) Calculate the Empty Moment M+ with new ballast by adding the moments of the ballast weights
MB to the aircraft Empty Moment M.
M+ = M + MBLH + MBMID + MBRH
Record the value on the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) to M+.
(23) Calculate the Empty Weight G+ with new ballast by adding the weight of each ballast weight B to
the aircraft Empty Weight G.
G+ = G + BLH + BMID + BRH
Record the value on the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) to G+.
(24) Calculate the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG+ Lever Arm including new ballast. Divide the
empty moment M+ by the empty weight G+.
XCG+ = M+ / G+
Record the value on the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) to XCG+.
(25) If the lever arm of the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG+ is NOT within limits XCG repeat the
procedure beginning from step C.6 and perform until Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG is in the
limit.
(26) If the Empty Weight Center of Gravity XCG+ Lever Arm is within limits XCG, weigh the aircraft, with
new ballast installed, again beginning from step C.6 and record the data to the second blank copy
of the Weight and Balance Form (Figure 3) for final documentation.
(27) Record the values of final Empty Weight G and final Moment M (including all ballast) in the aircraft
Weight and Balance Record (identical record is shown in Figure 4), refer to AFM, Section 6.3.
(28) Lower the aircraft with the jacks, refer to Jacking General.
Note Make sure that the scale of the weighing unit is zero after lowering of the aircraft. If the
scale is not zero the weighing procedure is invalid. Check the weighing units.

Note Fill the hydraulic system only with the landing gear extended.
Make sure that the aircraft is leveled, refer to Leveling Servicing.
(a) Remove the baggage compartment left, rear panel for access (refer to Cockpit and Baggage
Compartment Furnishing General Data).
(c) Fill the hydraulic reservoir with fluid to the max level in the sight-glass, refer to Figure 7.
Refer to operators manual of the hydraulic fluid replenishment rig.
Note To make sure that the fluid level stays on max level you must operate the landing
gear by retraction and extension.
(d) If necessary fill the hydraulic system with hydraulic fluid to max fluid level.
(f) If necessary bleed the hydraulic system, refer to Landing Gear Hydraulic System Bleed.
(g) Install the baggage compartment left, rear panel (refer to Cockpit and Baggage
Compartment Furnishing General Data).
Note Fill the emergency accumulator with nitrogen only after nitrogen pressure dump.
(2) Remove the dust cap (31) from the accumulator charging valve (32) .
(4) Increase the supply pressure to the value shown on the accumulator pressure gauge.
- Close the fill valve on the filling manifold of the nitrogen supply after the indicated value on
the pressure gauge (36) is reached on the calibrated gauge of the filling manifold.
- If the pressure is too high, carefully open the release valve of the filling manifold to get the
correct pressure.
Note The charging valve has a poppet valve (34) with a threaded stem (33) . Turn the control
nut (35) counter clockwise to open the poppet valve and clockwise to close it.
(5) Fully open the accumulator charging valve (refer to Figure 8).
- Turn the control nut counter-clockwise.
- Turn the nut fully to its open end stop (35) .
First the nut will swivel freely and then will start to open the internal poppet valve by turning further.
Apply a max. torque of 6 Nm (4.4 lb.ft).
(6) Inflate the accumulator to the required pressure (refer to Figure 9; The diagrams on Figure 9 shows
the values after pressure dump.):
- Open the filling valve of the filling manifold slowly.
- When the pre-charge pressure is reached, close the filling valve of the filling manifold.
- If the pre-charge pressure is too high, open the release valve of the filling manifold carefully
to release nitrogen slowly.
- Wait several minutes for the nitrogen pressure to stabilize.
- If necessary, add or release nitrogen to correct the pressure.
Note A quick filling will heat up the accumulator and cause a pressure drop after a few minutes,
when the temperature is stabilized again.
CAUTION DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE CONTROL NUT. YOU CAN DAMAGE THE
SEAT OF THE POPPET VALVE.
Note A too high torque can damage the seat of the poppet valve.
(9) If the nitrogen valve does not leak, install the dust cap (31) .

pressure from the accumulator. Do the steps as follows:
- Slowly turn the hand-wheel (30) counter clockwise to open the valve.
Note By opening the manual dump valve the pressurized hydraulic fluid in the accumulator
flows back to the reservoir.
- Remove the dust cap (31) from the charging valve (32) .
- Open the charging valve slowly and discharge the pressure slowly. This avoid a quick dump
which causes a large temperature decrease in the nitrogen and a much too low pressure on
the accumulator pressure gauge (36) .
- Wait a few minutes for the pressure to stabilize.
- Close the charging valve (32) and install the dust cap (31) on it.
- Close the hand-wheel (30) clockwise.

CAUTION DO NOT CLEAN THE CANOPY WHEN IT IS DRY. DO NOT USE A DIRTY SPONGE
OR LEATHER. DUST CAN SCRATCH THE CANOPY WHEN IT IS DRY
1 PROCEDURE
A. External Cleaning
The G 120TP-A has a laminar-flow shape. The laminar-flow shape gives the aircraft low drag and makes
it efficient. You must keep the aircraft surface clean. If you do not keep it clean, the laminar-flow breaks
down and the aircraft performance decreases. Take special care to keep the wing leading edge clean.
Use large quantities of water to clean the aircraft. If the aircraft is very dirty, you can mix the water with
a weak solvent. Clean insect-spatter from the wing leading edge immediately after flight. If you leave
insect-spatter it will become dry. And it will not be easy to remove.
Clean the canopy in the same way as you clean the aircraft. Keep a special sponge/chamois leather to
clean the canopy.
(2) Wet the aircraft with water. Use a sponge to remove dirt.
Use large quantities of water.
Obey the solvent manufactures instructions. Wait for about 1 minute for the solvent to work. Use
large quantities of water.
CAUTION DO NOT WEAR RINGS ON YOUR FINGERS WHEN YOU WASH THE
CANOPY. RINGS CAN DAMAGE THE CANOPY.
(4) Use large quantities of water to wash the canopy and windscreen.
Use a clean chamois leather to remove the water.
And use a commercial acrylic glass canopy polish to remove dirt which will not wash off.
(6) Open the canopy. Clean the inside of the canopy with a commercial acrylic glass canopy polish.
B. External Polishing
Polish The Aircraft
Polish the FRP surfaces at least every 12 months. Use a wax polish which does not contain silicone.
You can polish the aircraft by hand. Or you can use a slow-speed power-polisher.
CAUTION KEEP THE POWER POLISHER MOVING OVER THE SURFACE. IF YOU
KEEP THE POLISHER IN ONE AREA, THE STRUCTURE WILL GET HOT.
AND IT WILL BE DAMAGED.
(4) Do items 2/3 again until the complete aircraft is polished. Polish the top and bottom!
(1) Clean the cockpit. Make sure that all loose dirt is removed from the floor and from below the seats.
Use a flame-proof vacuum cleaner.
(2) You can clean the instrument panel cover with a commercial acrylic glass canopy cleaner.

AIR CONDITIONING
DESCRIPTION
A. Description/Operation
Figure 1 shows the air conditioning system.
The air heating system has a separate hot air supply (1) . The engine supplies hot air from two compressor
tappings. A ball valve (1A) below the compressor controls the flow of hot air to the mixer tube on the right side
of the engine.
Ambient air enters the mixer tube from a ram-air intake on the right side of the cowling. A disc valve (2) at the
front of the mixer controls the flow of ambient air. A small cut-out in the disc allows some ambient air to flow into
the mixer when the valve is closed.
The pilot can adjust the ball valve (1A) by the BLEED knob and the disc valve (2) by the VENTILATION lever
to supply air at the correct temperature to the distribution system.
The pilot adjusts the air distribution valve (3) by the DISTRIBUTION lever to supply the mixed air to the footwells
and/or to the windscreen.
The air conditioning system has an air cooling system. The air cooling system has refrigeration components that
cool down cockpit air to less than ambient air temperature. The cooling system has a compressor (4) that is
operated by the engine. A condenser, receiver/drier and evaporator are in a group (5) aft of the baggage
compartment.
Fans on the evaporator move air from the cockpit through the evaporator (heat exchanger) back to the cockpit.
Ventilation ducts (6) distribute the cooled air to the cockpit.
Switches in the cockpit control the air cooling-system and the speed of the ventilation fans.

AIR DISTRIBUTION
AIR DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
A. General
The air distribution system supplies warm conditioned air to the cockpit. A distribution valve sends air to the
footwells or the windscreen for de-misting. It can also stop the air flow. The pilot sets the distribution valve with
control lever at the left end of the instrument panel.
A separate distribution system supplies cooled air to the cockpit from the air cooling system.
Refer to Heating General for the air heating system. Refer to Cooling General for the air cooling system. And
refer to Temperature Control General for temperature control.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the warm air distribution system. The warm air distribution system has flexible pipes which
connect the air heating system. It has these components:
- An air distribution valve. The air distribution valve (1) is located on the aft face of the firewall in the
cockpit. The air distribution valve is a rotary valve. It has a circular body with 3 outlets. A hollow valve
(2) with a lever (3) can turn inside the body and control the air flow.
- Distribution controls. The distributor controls (4) are at the left end of the instrument panel beam.
The top lever operates a flexible cable (5) . The flexible cable connects to the lever (3) on the air
distribution valve.
- A windscreen demister duct. A flexible pipe (7) connects the top outlet of the air distribution valve
(1) to the demister duct (6) .
Figure 2 shows the cold air distribution system. The cold air distribution system supplies 2 areas of the cockpit.
A duct (21) connects to a cold air outlet from the air cooling system. When the canopy is closed, the duct (21)
connects to a duct in the top of the canopy (22) . The duct in the canopy has 2 cold air outlet with adjustable
nozzles (23) .
A separate outlet from the air cooling system supplies cold air to each end of the instrument panel beam. The
cold air flows through ducts on each side of the cockpit below the canopy sill. The instrument panel beam (25)
has an outlet at each side with an adjustable nozzle (24) .
B. Operation
(1) Warm Air Distribution
When the aircraft is flying, air enters the air distribution valve from the temperature control system. You can
set the distributor control lever (4) to these positions:
- Fully left. The air distribution valve is closed. Warm air cannot flow into the cockpit or to the
windscreen.
- Middle position. Warm air flows from the air distribution valve to the cockpit foot-wells.
- Fully right. Warm air flows from the air distribution valve to the windscreen for demisting.
- Middle right. Warm air flows from the air distribution valve to the cockpit foot-wells and to the
windscreen for demisting.
You can set the control lever to any position between fully left and fully right.
If you set the AIR COND switch to ON, cold air flows from the air cooling system into the ducts (21) . It also
flows into the canopy duct (22) . You can set the nozzles (23) to blow the air as necessary. The canopy
must be fully closed.

HEATING
HEATING
GENERAL
A. General
The G 120TP-A has an engine-compressor tapping which supplies hot air for cockpit heating. This gives the
necessary temperature.
The pilot can control the temperature.
Therefore hot air from the engine compressor can be mixed with ambient-ram air inside the mixer tube in the
engine compartment.
This Section tells you about the heating system.
Refer to Air Distribution General for data about the air distribution system.
Refer to Temperature Control General for data about air temperature control.
HEATING
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the air heating system. The air heating system has these components:
- Two pipes (1) from the engine compressor outlets for hot air.
- A bleed-air control and shut-off valve (2) attached to the bottom of the engine compressor. A control-
knob at the front, left of the center console connects to the valve. Pull the knob to open the valve.
Push the knob to close the valve.
- A pipe connects the air supply to a fitting (3) on the mixer tube (4) . The mixer tube is part of the
temperature control system. Refer to Temperature Control General.
- A hose (5) connecting the outlet from the mixer tube to an elbow (6) at the firewall. The elbow
attaches to the air distribution-valve. Refer to Air Distribution General.
- A temperature switch (7) installed in the elbow senses air temperature entering the distribution valve.
B. Operation
When the aircraft is flying, the engine compressor supplies hot air through two rigid pipes (1) to the bleed-air
control and shut-off valve (2) . If the pilot sets the valve to OPEN, air flows through the flexible pipe to the mixer
tube (4) . Refer toTemperature Control General for the temperature control function of the mixer tube.
The mixer tube mixes cold ambient air and hot bleed-air. This warm air from the mixer tube flows through the
large flexible hose (5) to the elbow (6) at the firewall.
If the air is hotter than 90 ± 5 ºC, the temperature switch (7) operates the BLEED TEMP warning. The pilot must
set the bleed air control to CLOSE.
If hot air is not necessary for air conditioning, the pilot can set the bleed-air control to CLOSE.
The heating system can operate with the engine running on the ground.

COOLING
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the air cooling-system. The compressor attaches to the engine. All other
components make a package in the rear equipment compartment. The air cooling-system has these components:
- A Compressor.
The compressor (1) attaches to the mounting frame at the front, right of the engine. A V belt from
a pulley on the engine propeller shaft turns a pulley on the compressor. The compressor has a
magnetic clutch. An electric circuit controls the magnetic clutch.
- A Condenser.
The condenser is a heat exchanger (2) ). Refrigerant flows through the tubes of the condenser and
ambient air flows around the outer surface of the tubes.
The condenser is located in the rear fuselage. Two large NACA ducts In the access panels for the
rear equipment compartment release air into hoses in rear fuselage. The hoses connect to the air
inlet of the condenser. The air flows through the condenser and cools the refrigerant. The air flows
to atmosphere through an air outlet in the bottom skin of the fuselage.
A large fan moves the air through the condenser. An electric motor turns the fan.
- A Receiver/Drier.
The receiver/drier (3) is the system reservoir. It can hold a small quantity of refrigerant. It has a filter
and a drier.
The receiver/drier has a sight glass. You can monitor the condition and level of the refrigerant through
the sight glass.
- A Thermostatic Expansion Valve (Expansion Valve).
The expansion valve (4) attaches to the evaporator pipe-assembly (5) . Refrigerant flows through
the expansion valve into the evaporator.
- An Evaporator.
The evaporator (5) is a heat exchanger. Refrigerant flows through the tubes of the evaporator. And
air from the cockpit flows around the outer surface of the tubes.
Two fans move the air from the cockpit through the evaporator. The right fan supplies cold air to
overhead duct in the canopy. The left fan supplies cold air to ducts below the left and right fuselage
sills. Hoses connect the front of each duct to the related instrument panel outlets.
- A Dual-Pressure Switch.
The dual-pressure switch (6) attaches to the receiver/drier. The dual pressure switch monitors the
system pressure between the receiver/drier (3) and the expansion valve (4) .
The dual pressure switch has a high pressure switch and a low pressure switch.
- Pipes.
Pipes connect these components to make a closed circuit:
• The compressor (1) to the condenser (2) .
• The condenser (2) to the dual pressure switch (6) and receiver/drier (3) .
• The receiver/drier to the expansion valve (4) .
• The expansion valve to the evaporator (5) .
• The evaporator (5) to the compressor (1) .
- A Thermostat.
A sense-line connects the thermostat to the evaporator. The thermostat monitors the evaporator coil
temperature.
The air cooling-system uses R134a refrigerant.
B. Operation
Figure 2 shows the air cooling-system operation.
(1) Usual operation
When the compressor (1) operates, it causes a suction at the compressor inlet. The suction moves
refrigerant gas from the evaporator (5) to the compressor. The compressor compresses the gas. The
pressure and the temperature of the gas increases.
The hot, high-pressure gas flows to the condenser (2) and flows through the condenser tubes. Ambient
air (21) flowing around the condenser tubes cools the gas. The gas changes condition to a warm liquid at
high pressure.
The liquid refrigerant flows to the receiver drier (3) . The receiver drier filters the liquid and removes any
water. It is also the system reservoir.
The liquid refrigerant flows under pressure to the expansion valve (4) . The expansion valve has a small
hole (22) . When the liquid goes through the small hole, the pressure drops and the liquid forms a vapour.
(23) .
The small drops of liquid vapour flow immediately into the evaporator (5) They cannot stay as a liquid at
low pressure. The liquid changes condition to a gas. And the gas temperature decreases to less than
ambient.
The low temperature gas flows through the tubes of the evaporator. It takes heat from the cockpit air (24)
which flows around the outer surface of the tubes. This makes the air cold.
Water condenses from the cold air. A tray below the evaporator collects the water. And a pipe (25) lets
the water drain overboard. The cold dry air (26) flows from the evaporator back into the cockpit.
The refrigerant gas flows back through the expansion valve. The valve senses the gas temperature and
adjusts the size of the small hole. The expansion valve increase or decrease the flow to keep the outlet
temperature of the refrigerant gas constant.
The dual pressure switch (6) monitors the system pressure. If the pressure becomes too high, the high
pressure switch operates. It disengages the magnetic clutch (27) on the compressor. The compressor
stops operating.
When the system pressure decreases to a safe value, the high pressure switch goes back to initial setting.
It engages the magnetic clutch (27) on the compressor and the compressor operates again.
If the pressure becomes too low, the low pressure switch operates. It disengages the magnetic clutch (27)
on the compressor. The compressor stops operating.
When the system pressure increases to a safe value, the low pressure switch operates. It engages the
magnetic clutch (27) on the compressor and the compressor operates again.
The thermostat monitors the evaporator coil temperature. If the temperature goes near to freezing, the
thermostat switch operates. The switch disengages the compressor clutch. When the temperature
increases, the thermostat switch closes. It engages the compressor clutch.
The system has 2 electrical switches. An AIR COND ON/VENT/OFF switch (28) . And a FAN HIGH/LOW
speed switch (29) . Figure 3 shows the electrical switches in the cockpit.
The AIR COND ON/VENT/OFF switch controls the cooling system. It has 3 positions:
- OFF
- The clutch on the compressor disengages. The compressor does not operate.
- The 2 fans on the evaporator do not operate.
- The fan on the condenser does not operate.
- VENT (Ventilation)
- The clutch on the compressor disengages. The compressor does not operate.
- The 2 fans on the evaporator operate. They circulate air through the cockpit.
- The fan on the condenser does not operate.
- ON
- The clutch on the compressor engages. And the compressor operates.
- The 2 fans on the evaporator operate. They circulate air through the cockpit.
- The fan on the condenser operates. It moves air through the condenser.
The FAN switch controls the fans on the evaporator. The fans does not operate, if the AIR COND switch is
OFF.
The switch has these positions:
- HIGH The fans move more air quickly from the cockpit through the evaporator back to the
cockpit.
- LOW. The fans move the air slowly from the cockpit through the evaporator back to the cockpit.

It moves warm air from below the avionic rack into the cockpit. This improves the cooling of the area between
the firewall and the instrument panel.
A circuit-breaker (PANEL BLOWER, 1 Amp) on the BATT BUS protects the circuit.
The blower operates whenever there is power on the BATT BUS.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
GENERAL
A. General
The G 120TP-A has a simple temperature control system for warm air. There is no temperature control system
for cold air. This Section tells you about the warm air control.
A mixer tube controls the temperature of the warm air. This Section tells you about the valve and about the supply
of ambient air to the valve. See Heating General for data about the supply of hot air to the valve.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the temperature control system. The system has a mixer tube (1) . Hot air flows from the engine-
engine compressor (2) to a bleed-air control and shut-off valve. A flexible hose connect the shut-off valve to
the mixer tube. The pilot can control the shut-off valve.
Refer to Heating General for data on the hot air supply.
Cool ambient air flows from a duct in the bottom cowling to the front of the mixer tube (3) . The mixer tube has
a circular body. A disc-valve (4) can move inside the body. The disc valve has a small flat area. When the valve
is fully closed, ambient air can still enter the mixer tube to prevent over-heating.
Hot air from the ball valve enters the bottom of the mixer tube down-stream of the disc valve. A nozzle injects
the hot air into the mixer tube body parallel to the ambient air flow
The disc-valve changes the amount of cold air to control the temperature. The warm air mixture leaves the valve
at the outlet (5) . An insulated flexible hose carries the warm air under the engine to a connection on the firewall
(6) . The connection is the inlet to the distribution valve.
B. Operation
On the ground, the hot air flow causes cool air to enter the mixer tube. In the air, ram-effect increases the cool
air flow.
The lever (8) on the instrument panel beam controls the mixer tube. When the lever is fully to the left, the valve
supplies only cool ambient air. When the lever is fully to the right, the valve supplies hot air.
You can set the lever at any position between fully cool and fully hot. The valve supplies a mixture of cool and
hot air.

AUTOPILOT
AUTOPILOT
DESCRIPTION
A. System Description
The Autopilot System is a digital three-axis (roll, pitch and yaw) attitude-based DFCS digital flight control
system . For the G 120TP the autopilot system utilizes only two axis, the roll and pitch axis, without yaw.
The system also utilizes dual ADAHRSof the G 120TP EFIS system for attitude reference. The dual
ADAHRS supports the autopilot’s monitoring (cross comparison) of the basic attitude information. It
provides a continuous comparison of the attitude information to insure integrity of the attitude sources. The
system always uses the same ADAHRS information as is presented to the pilot. The system accepts
steering inputs from the navigation radios, FMS Flight Management System functions of the EFIS, and the
heading system.
The autopilot system has its own circuit breaker to protect the system. The release time of the circuit breaker
depends on the current, see Figure 1.
B. System Overview
The S-TEC 1950 Autopilot system consists of the FGC Flight Guidance Computer , the MCP Mode Control
Panel , pitch and roll servos, and inputs from other airplane systems. Figure 2 shows a typical autopilot
system. The elevator trim servo has already been certified with the basic airplane, and is not included in
this project. Figure 3 shows a simplified block diagram of the autopilot installation with airplane interfaces.
The S-TEC 1950 Autopilot system interfaces with several airplane systems. The control stick has buttons
for autopilot disconnect/trim disconnect, go around, control wheel steering and manual trim. The EFIS
provides inputs for the selected NAVradio, GPS, and/or FMS functions to support the various autopilot
modes. The FGC will generate an audio disconnect tone. Verbal annunciations e.g. “Autopilot Disconnect”
are generated by the EFIS.
FGC Specification:
MCP Specification:
- Height/Width/Depth: 1.88 in x 5.75 in x 1.25 in plus connector
- Weight: 0.5 lbs
- Input Power: 28.0 VDC nominal, 0.025 Amps
Release time [s]
Multiple of nominal current
A. Description
The FGC Flight Guidance Computer is the central core of the System and contains the logic, modes, and control
laws that provide the autopilot functionality. Figure 4 shows the outline of the FGC. The FGC receives inputs
from dual digital attitude reference sources as well as control inputs from the MCP Mode Control Panel which
serves as the interface between the system and the flight crew.
B. Hardware Overview
Figure 5 is a simplified block diagram of the FGC hardware.
C. Software Overview
The FGC software is contained in the following processors, each having specific tasks to perform:
- FGC Input/Output Processor (IOP)
- FGC Main Autopilot Processor(MAPP)
It should be noted that the control interface may be any suitable control unit(s) which conform to the
applicable specifications. This is possible because the mode logic and monitors are contained in the MAPP
and IOP. For the G 120TP, the MCP provides the mode selection control, while the EFIS provides the upper
mode control inputs.
The IOP handles the 429 data, and transmits the data of interest to the MAPP. It communicates with the
MAPP via RS-232 serial data. In addition to processing basic ARINC 429 I/O it provides independent
monitors of the autopilot for the potential failure modes of a pitch, roll, or yaw hardover condition or a pitch
or roll slowover condition. While the basic system design (Servo speed) limits the resultant effect on the
airplane to be within prescribed limits as defined by FAA guidance, the hardover monitor substantially
reduces the effect of the hardover failure condition by interrupting the servo in the affected axis. The
slowover monitor detects a slowover condition that takes the aircraft beyond the normal autopilot limits and
subsequently disconnects the autopilot and alerts the pilot. This same monitor will also disconnect the
autopilot when the aircraft is beyond normal limits due to a hardover. Figure 6 is a simplified functional block
diagram of the I/O Software. The I/O software is designed to Design Assurance Level C.
The MAPP contains the mode logic and control laws that fly the aircraft. Figure 7 shows a simplified
functional block diagram of the MAPP Software. The MAPP software was developed to Design Assurance
Level C. The MAPP also contains monitoring for a dual axis hardover condition that disconnects the
autopilot. It contains an internal accelerometer monitor of the pitch axis that limits the effect of a hardover
failure condition. The integrity of these monitors is protected by software monitors of the execution and
timing loops which are under control of an independent hardware watchdog timer. Faults detected by any
of the monitors (dual hardover monitor, execution monitor, timing loop monitor, watchdog timer) results in
an autopilot disconnect and an alarm to the pilot.

A. Description
The MCP is the pilot’s primary autopilot interface using push and release buttons to select functions and modes.
The MCP generates the engage command and mode selection for the autopilot and flight director functions to
the FGC. This unit is also the clearinghouse for message and command traffic and transmits the autopilot modes
for display on the EFIS. Roll mode selections are Heading Hold (HDG), Navigation (NAV) and Approach (APR).
Pitch mode selections are Altitude Hold (ALT), Vertical Speed Hold (VS) and Indicated Airspeed Hold
(IAS).Figure 12 shows the MCP outline drawing.
B. MCP Modes
Mode and annunciation description is based on Genesys IDU-680 Version 8.0D Pilot Guide (Fixed Wing) and
Cobham Pilot’s Operating Handbook, Digital Flight Control System - 2nd Generation (DFCS-2G / AP1950) .
Figure 13 shows the autopilot annunciation modes on the PFD Primary Flight Display .
Boxed engaged mode annunciation = AP is engaged
Engaged mode annunciation flashes for 10 seconds upon mode/sub mode change
When the AP Autopilot button is pressed, the Autopilot and FD Flight Director are engaged. These modes
will be annunciated on the PFD. The system will engage in the ROLL and PITCH modes (see Figure 14).
The roll and pitch attitudes will be attitudes present at the moment the autopilot button was pressed, except
when engaging the autopilot from Go-Around mode. If the AP button is pressed a second time, the autopilot
will disengage leaving the FD function active. A disengage tone will sound for 3 seconds followed by an
Autopilot Disconnect voice annunciation.
The Flight Director is automatically activated and the Steering Bars come into view by pressing the AP
button. To use the Flight Director only (autopilot servos disengaged), press the AP button again which
disengages the AP mode but leaves the FD engaged. The pilot will be required to hand fly the aircraft by
reference to the Steering Bars and can program lateral and vertical modes as desired.
In the heading mode the system will track the heading bug on the EFIS display. Any heading bug change
will cause the aircraft to turn, intercept, and track the new heading. Depressing the heading button a second
time will cancel the mode and default back to ROLL Mode. Figure 15 shows the engaged HDG indication
on the PFD.
The altitude mode (see Figure 15) maintains the pilot selected altitude using the altitude error signal derived
from the data supplied by the air data system. A target altitude may be selected on the EFIS for capturing
altitude hold from the vertical speed (VS) or indicated air speed hold (IAS) modes.
The navigation mode guides the aircraft on a pilot selected course using a navigation error signal from the
navigation source. The source may be VHF Very High Frequency , VOR Omni-bearing Range , LOC
Localizer , or GPS Global Positioning System navigation receivers. Figure 16 shows the navigation mode
engaged with a localizer source.
If a procedure approach is set up in the integrated display unit, the autopilot will follow the approach profile
when set in NAV and VNV mode. This includes altitudes set-downs using Lateral and Vertical steering
commands from the EFIS.
The approach mode can command bank angles up to 30° and is normally used for VOR, GPS, LOCALIZER,
and ILS approaches. Figure 17 shows the autopilot engaged in APR mode with the lateral guidance
information supplied by the FMS and the vertical GS Glide Slope information.
The airspeed hold mode will synchronize to the current aircraft airspeed when engaged. Select a new
airspeed via the EFIS display IAS selector (IAS bug). The IAS mode (see Figure 18) instead of the VS mode
can be used to capture a pre-selected altitude, if desired. Pressing the IAS button once engaged in IAS
Mode, will leave the autopilot in the basic PITCH mode.
By pressing the VS button the commanded vertical speed and direction will be displayed on the PFD (see
Figure 19). The vertical speed will synchronize to the existing aircraft vertical speed when engaged in VS
mode. A new vertical speed can be selected via the EFIS display VS selector (VS bug). Pressing the VS
button a second time will leave the autopilot in PITCH mode.
The Autopilot is equipped with a CWS Control Wheel Steering Mode that can be activated by a switch at
the flight control grip after the autopilot has been engaged.
GA Go-Around mode disengages the autopilot, cancels all armed modes, and selected altitudes, while
engaging the Flight Director FD, to provide steering command bars on the EFIS commanding wings level
and a pre-programmed pitch angle for the pilot to follow. GA mode is activated by pressing the GA button,
mounted on the flight control grip (see Figure 20).

Electric pitch trim is designed to operate automatically with the autopilot engaged or manually to maintain
a balanced or trimmed condition in the pitch axis. The system is a fail safe design with two independent
channels, one for trim up (UP) and one trim down (DN), with an H-bridge motor driver that allows no single
point failure to cause a trim runaway condition.
Automatic Electric Trim uses the pitch servo’s rotational spring system to rotate the motor to either side of
a centered null position toward trim sensor switches. The trim sensor switches are mounted and positioned
so that a preset output torque will close the switch indicating an out of trim condition. The out of trim condition
activates the automatic electric trim circuitry in the FGC, which signals the trim servo to run in the appropriate
direction trimming the pitch servo to a null position opening the trim sensor switches thus ending the
trimming cycle.
Manual Electric Trim uses a control wheel mounted double pole, double throw momentary contact switch
with a center off position and independent throw capability. Manual Electric Trim only runs the trim servo
when the switch is activated in the same direction by the pilot.
The servos are the remote electro-mechanical means of moving the flight controls for pitch and roll to the
FGC’s commanded position. They are controlled by their respective driver within the FGC. Each servo has
a slip clutch that allows the pilot to override the servos in case of a malfunction. Therefore the pilot will have
complete authority over an autopilot malfunction. The servos are mechanically attached to the flight controls
by torque rods. The Pitch Servo and Roll Servo outline drawings are in Figure 21 and Figure 22, respectively.
The servos are delivered with preset clutch torque settings, but can be adjusted prior to installation if
needed.
After power has been applied to the system, the autopilot will perform a power on self test. The FGC will
send a message to the display system that will indicate the self test is in progress. Once the system has
successfully passed the self test, the FGC will send a message to the display system that will indicate the
ADAHRS is initializing if the attitude and/or air data sources have not gone valid yet.
This will remain displayed until the ADAHRS has completed its initialization, or until the system detects a
failure condition.
During this period, the system will not allow any mode to function. After the successful completion of both
the self-test and subsequent ADAHRS initialization, the FGC will send a message to the display system
that will indicate the autopilot is ready. The system is now ready to accept commands.
If the system fails initialization it will annunciate the failure. The FGC will send a message to the display
system that will indicate the autopilot has failed and will not allow any mode to function.

indications shows if the battery is being charged or discharged. The voltmeter on the engine indications shows
the voltage on the battery bus.
The Generator-amperemeter in the engine indications shows the actual load on the generator.
Refer to the related Chapters/Sections for maintenance practices.
Note This Chapter has simple block-schematic diagrams, refer to DC Generation Description (analog cockpit)
or DC Generation Description of how it is made an its Function (digital cockpit). These diagrams do not
have all the detail. Refer to the wiring diagram manual for your aircraft when you do maintenance.
DC GENERATION
DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT IS MADE AN ITS FUNCTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the starter/generator system. The DC power generation system has these components:
A. Main Battery
The aircraft has a 24 volt main battery. The battery has a capacity of 25 Ah (HAWKER) or 28 Ah
(CONCORDE). The battery is located in the battery compartment at the right, rear area of the engine
compartment (battery compartment). The cowling door gives access to the battery. A standard battery
quick-release connector connects the power cables to the battery.
B. Starter/Generator
The Starter/Generator is a two-function DC machine. The Starter/Generator is used as an engine-driven
source of DC power in a 28 V aircraft electrical system and as a source for starting power for a turbine
engine. The generator is self-excited. A Generator Control Unit (GCU) provides voltage regulation and
system protection. In generator mode, the power rating is 6 KW at 28 VDC. This is equivalent to 200 A
continuous load through the speed range. An efficient integral fan draws air in at the anti-dirve end of the
generator to permit self-cooled operation.
The GCU attaches to the front wall of the battery compartment, above the battery.
C. Busses
The aircraft has these 2 busses in the power generation system:
- Battery bus
- Main bus.
Refer to DC Electrical Load Distribution General Data for more data about the battery and main busses
and for data about the 3 subsidiary busses.
D. Contactors
The system has these main contactors:
- Battery Contactor
The battery contactor connects the battery to the BATTERY BUS. A RCCB protects the circuit.
- Line Contactor
The line contactor connects the generator to the MAIN BUS.
- Bus Tie Contactor
The bus-tie contactor can connect the battery bus to the main bus. Both busses supply power
to the solenoid of the bus-tie contactor. Circuit-breakers at each bus protect the solenoid circuit.
Diodes prevent current flowing directly from one bus to the other through the solenoid circuit.
- A bus-tie switch controls the ground connection to the contactor. The bus-tie switch has these
3 positions:
• OFF
The switch is open-circuit and the bus-tie contactor is open, to isolate the Battery Bus
from the Main Bus.
• ON
The switch gives a ground to the bus-tie contactor. The contactor closes to connect the
Battery Bus to the Main Bus.
• AUTO
The switch connects to the auxiliary contacts of the line contactor. The line contactor
gives a ground when it is closed. If the generator is on line, the bus-tie contactor closes
and connect the Battery Bus to the Main Bus.
E. System Protection
The system has these circuit-breakers and Fuses:
- Battery Remote-Control Circuit-Breaker (Battery RCCB)
A hall effect current sonsor for Battery Bus direction and return protection Electronic Module
in association with a contactor to provide bi-directional protection adapted to current flow
direction. The output bus-bar goes through a hole in the sensor. The sensor monitors the
current flowing through the bus-bar. If the current is too high, the sensor opens the solenoid
circuit. The battery contactor opens.
You can reset the RCCB. Set the BATT switch to OFF. Then set the BATT switch back to ON.
- BATTERY CTRL Circuit-Breaker
A 2-amp BATTERY CTRL circuit-breaker on the HOT BATTRY BUS protects the battery
contactor and current sensor control circuits.
- BUS TIE CTRL A Circuit-Breaker
The 2 amp BUS TIE CTRL A circuit-breaker on the BATTERY BUS protects the solenoid circuit
of the bus-tie contactor.
- BUS TIE CTRL B Circuit-Breaker
The 2 amp BUS TIE CTRL B circuit-breaker on the MAIN BUS protects the solenoid circuit of
the bus-tie contactor.
Diodes in the bus-tie control-circuits prevent current flowing from one bus to the other when
the bus-tie contactor is open.
- Battery Bus Limiter Fuse
A 100 amp fuse in the supply to the battery bus protects the system bus.
- Main Bus Limiter Fuse
A 100 amp fuse in the supply to the main bus protects the system bus.
- Battery Ground Limiter Fuse

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
A. General
The external power system can supply the complete electrical system of the aircraft on ground.
The aircraft has an external power socket. It is located in the rear fuselage on the right side just aft of the wing.
The socket is behind the external power socket door.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the circuit of the external power system. A GRP bracket holds the external power socket. The
bracket is located in the compartment for the air-conditioning condenser. The external power system has these
components:
A. 28 V Socket
The 28 VDC power socket attaches to the bracket. It faces a small, hinged access panel in the fuselage.
You can open the panel to get access to the socket and related circuit-breaker.
The socket has 3 pins:
- A large negative pin
- A large positive pin
- A short positive pin.
A diode adjacent to the external power socket connects to the small positive pin. The diode connects to a
5 amp circuit-breaker located beside the external power socket.
B. External Power Contactor
The external power contactor attaches to the bracket. A bus strip connects the large positive pin of the
power socket to the input terminal of the contactor. A large cable connects the output terminal of the external
power contactor to the EXT contactor in the battery compartment. The EXTERNAL POWER switch
provides a ground to energize the external power contactor.
A cable connects the 5 amp circuit-breaker and a diode (to prevent incorrect polatity) to the external power
contactor.
C. EXT Contactor
The EXT contactor is located in the battery compartment. The output of the external power contactor
energizes the solenoid of the EXT contactor. The EXTERNAL POWER switch provides a ground to
energize the EXT contactor. The EXT contactor energizes the BATTERY BUS.
If the BATT switch is set to ON, the external power can charge the battery.
D. EXTERNAL POWER Switch
The EXTERNAL POWER switch is located on the right switch panel. It controls both the external power
contactor and the EXT contactor. A cable connects the switch to the auxiliary contacts of the line contactor
in the battery compartment.
The line contactor brings the generator ‘on-line’. The auxiliary contacts open when the main contacts close.
When the generator is off-line, the auxiliary contacts provide a ground through the switch to the solenoids
of the external power contactor and the EXT contactor.
E. External Power GND Limiter
A bus strip connects the large negative pin of the power socket to a 400 amp GND limiter fuse. A large
cable from the GND limiter goes to the aircraft ground reference point.
B. Operation

GENERAL DATA
A. General

Refer to Fire Extinguisher General Data for data about the fire extinguisher
COSPAS-SARSAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT IS MADE AND ITS FUNCTION
The space segment of the Cospas-Sarsat system has SAR processors aboard 4 geosynchronous satellites
called GEOSARs. There are also 5 low-earth polar orbit satellites called LEOSARs
The system provides world-wide coverage. It originally monitored distress signals from beacons transmitting on
121.5 MHz, 243 MHz Later it also monitored the newly introduced 406 MHz.
From 1 February 2009, the system stopped monitoring 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz.
Distress transmissions on 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz allowed the SAR system to locate the transmitter to within
approximately 20 km. Transmissions on 406 MHz allow location to within 3 km.
The new 406 MHz transmissions give the following data that lets the SAR system identify the aircraft involved:
- ELT serial number.
- Aircraft tail number.
- 24-bit aircraft address.
- Aircraft operator designator / serial number.
All 406 ELTs are registered with the SAR organisation. This includes data such as the operator, emergency
contact names and telephone numbers etc.
There are 2 types of message broadcast by 406 ELTs; A short message (mandatory) and a long message
(optional). The short message gives basic data. The long message transmits navigation data from the aircraft
navigation system. This provides the most recent location from a GPS or other navigation system at the time
that system stopped working.
The long message is not used in the G 120TP-A installation.
For more information about the Cospas-Sarsat system refer to www. cospas-sarsat.org.
A. Operation
(1) Usual Operation
When installed with the cockpit remote switch connected, the ELT cannot be switched off. In the usual
situation, the cockpit remote switch (16) is set to ARM and the ELT switch (9) is set to OFF. (With the
ELT switch in the OFF position, the ELT is ARMED).
If the ELT senses a severe impact (such as a crash) the G-switch operates and the ELT transmits on 121.5
and 243.0 MHz. The ELT can transmit for approximately 72 hours on these frequencies. These
transmissions allow the rescue coordination system to calculate a crash location to within approximately
15 to 20 km.
After 50 seconds and at 50 second intervals, the ELT also transmits a coded message on 406.025 MHz for
520 milliseconds. The coded message contains this data:
- Serial number of the transmitter or aircraft I.D. (pre-programmed)
- Country code
- I.D. code.
The message is received by satellite. The satellite system calculates a crash position accurate to
approximately 1 to 2 km.
For the first 24 hours of ELT operation, the buzzer also operates for short periods at pre-determined
intervals.
The pilot can set the cockpit remote switch or the ELT switch to ON to operate the ELT in an emergency
(for example after a forced landing that did not activate the ELT).
Both the cockpit remote switch and the ELT switch have a reset function. If the ELT operates accidentally,
set the cockpit remote switch to ON for 1 second, then back to ARM. You can also reset the ELT with the
ELT switch: set the ELT switch to On for approximately 1 second, then back to OFF.
If the cockpit remote switch continues to flash after resetting, count the number of flashes and refer to
Trouble Shooting.
You must tell the National Rescue Coordination Authority when you replace and ELT.
Typically, they need the following data:
- Type of aircraft
- Address of owner
- Telephone number of owner
- Aircraft Registration number
- Alternate emergency contact.

The maintenance practices in this section tell you how to remove/ and install the ELT and the cockpit remote
switch. They tell you how to replace the battery pack in the ELT. They also tell you how to do a test of the ELT.
Refer to the Artex Description, Operation, Installation and Maintenance Manual for the ME 406 ELT (570-1600
latest revision) for battery replacement.
Both manuals can be down loaded from www.artex.net.
You cannot repair the ELT on the aircraft. Only authorised repair stations can repair the ELT.
The ELT unit (1) is installed on the left shelf of the rear equipment compartment.
The ELT transmits on 121.5, 243.0 and 406.025 MHz. The ELT has two transmitters. One transmitter
operates on 121.5 and 243 MHz. The other transmitter operates on 406.025 MHz. The G 120TP-A
installation does not transmit position data from the aircraft navigation system
The ELT unit contains the following main components:
- A G-switch
- A transmitter
- A microprocessor
- An ‘ON’ light
- A transmitter module.
A high impact and fire resistant plastic case holds the ELT.
The bottom rear part of the ELT contains a battery pack (8) with 4 ‘D’ size Lithium Manganese Dioxide
cells connected in series. You cannot charge these batteries.
The ELT unit and battery pack must only be opened in a properly equipped shop. No maintenance is
possible on the aircraft other than a simple transmitter test during the first 5 minutes of any hour.
Refer to the ARTEX Description, Operation, Installation and Maintenance Manual (Document number
570-5012 Rev D or later) for all other maintenance activities.
The front of the ELT unit has these components:
- A red switch (9) marked ON (up) and OFF (down).
- A 12-pin socket (10) connecting to the cockpit remote switch assembly. Pins 5 and 8 are linked
to complete the G-switch circuit when the mating plug is connected. This prevents inadvertent
operation of the ELT when not installed.
- A BNC female connector (11) near the top for the 121.5 and 243.0 MHz transmissions.
- A TPS connector (12) at the centre, bottom for the 406.025 MHz transmissions.
A mounting tray (2) rigidly mounted to the rear equipment compartment shelf holds the ELT. Lugs on the
back of the ELT engage with slots (13) in the tray to hold the ELT. A top cover (3) also has slots that
engage with lugs on the rear of the ELT. An end cap (4) clamps the front ends of the tray and top cover
to hold the ELT in place. The end cap also holds the connector from the cockpit remote switch assembly
fully engaged.
A fixed rod antenna (5) attaches to a bracket in the rear fuselage. The antenna has two dissimilar coaxial
cable connectors. The front connector (14) (BNC, female) is for the 121.5 and 243.0 MHz transmissions.
The rear connector (15) (TNC, female) is for the 406 MHz transmissions.
Four screws attach the antenna to the bracket.
The cockpit remote switch assembly (6) is a rocker switch with integral light. Shield plates on each side
of the switch prevent accidental operation. The switch has two-positions: ON when the top is pushed and
ARM when the bottom is pushed. In addition, switching from ON to ARM will reset the ELT.
An LED in the switch flashes when the ELT transmits (approximately 3 times per second). It also stays ON
for approximately 1 second after entering the armed state. If the system is serviceable, the LED then goes
off. If a problem is detected, the LED provides a fault indication by flashing a coded signal immediately after
the one second pulse. Refer to Trouble-Shooting for details of the fault code.
(5) Buzzer
A loud buzzer (7) is installed adjacent to the ELT. The buzzer operates at predetermined intervals when
the ELT operates. The buzzer is to alert personnel that the ELT is operating and avoid inadvertent ELT
operation causing activation of emergency agencies. The ELT battery pack powers the buzzer. When the
ELT operates, the buzzer can be heard from outside the aircraft when the engine is not running

A. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 AF can be activated either automatically when the crash occurs (thanks to a shock sensor)
or manually (thanks to a switch on the transmitter itself or on a Remote Control Panel).
The KANNAD 406 AF are designed to transmit on three frequencies (121.5, 243 and 406 MHz). The two basic
emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243 MHz) are mainly used for homing in the final stages of the rescue
operations. The 406 MHz frequency is used by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites for precise pinpointing and
identification of the aircraft in distress.
Once activated, the transmitter operates continuously on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz with an output power of 100 mW
on each frequency. The modulation is an audio frequency sweeping downwards from 1420 Hz to 490 Hz with a
repetition rate of 3 Hz.
During the first 24 hours of operation, a digital message is transmitted on 406.025 MHz every 50 seconds. The
output power on 406 MHz is 5 W.
The KANNAD 406 AF used in this aircraft transmits the message (aircraft identification at 112 bits) on 406 MHz.
B. Controls
The following controls are to be found on the ELT front panel (refer to Figure 5):
- 1. 3-position switch ARM/OFF/ON.
- 2. Visual indicator (red).
- 3. DIN 12 connector for connection to Remote Control Panel, CS144 interface module, dongle or
programming equipment.
- 4. BNC connector for the antenna.
The visual indicator gives an indication on the working mode of the beacon:
- After the self-test: a series of short flashes indicate the self-test failed, one long flash indicates a
correct self-test.
- In operating mode: periodic flashes during 121.5 / 243 MHz transmission.
- Long flash during 406 MHz transmission.
- ARMED (standby mode to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor or by the Remote Control
Panel).
- ON (transmission).
(1) OFF
(2) Self-test
The self-test mode is a temporary mode (max duration 5 sec) in which the ELT checks the main
characteristics of the transmitter (Battery voltage, Programming...) and enables digital communication with
a programming and test equipment.
This mode is selected:
- When switching from "OFF" to "ARM".
- When switching to "RESET / TEST" on the Remote Control Panel (provided that the switch of
the ELT is in the "ARM" position).
- When switching to "ON" prior to transmission.
It is recommended to test the ELT regularly in order to detect any possible failure (refer to ELT (KANNAD
406 AF) System test).
The number of self-tests carried out is recorded. This information is available when the ELT is connected
to a programming and test equipment (PR600).
(3) ARMED
In order to enable activation by the G-Switch or with the Remote Control Panel, the ELT must be in standby
mode with the switch in the ARM position.
This mode is mandatory during flight. The ELT should remain in the ARM position all the time except when
the ELT is removed from the aircraft or if the aircraft is parked for a long period or for maintenance.
The Remote Control Panel is energized by the ELT when the ELT’s Switch is in the "ARM" position.
(4) ON
The red visual indicator on the ELT (and on the remote control panel if installed) flashes and the buzzer
operates.
In case of accidental activation, the ELT can be reset either by switching it to "OFF" or by switching to
"RESET" on the Remote Control Panel.
The number of 406 MHz bursts effectively transmitted is recorded. This information is available when the
ELT is connected to a programming and test equipment (PR600).
D. Autonomy
The energy is provided by a battery pack composed of 3 x LiMnO2 D cells.
Note Lithium cells, lithium batteries and equipment containing such batteries are subjected to regulations and
classified under class 9 as from 1st of January 2003.
The autonomy of the 121.5 / 243 MHz transmission is close to 100 hours at - 20 °C with new batteries.
In the worse conditions possible, a distress is pinpointed 5.5 hours maximum after the ELT activation and the
position is subsequently updated (if necessary) every 2 hours.
As it is therefore preferable to keep the battery power for 121.5 / 243 MHz homing frequency transmission for
the rescue operations, the 406 MHz transmission is deliberately stopped after 24 hours to extend the 121.5 /
243 MHz transmission for as long as possible.
The transmitter battery expiry date is fixed at 6 years after manufacturing. If no activation of the ELT occurs
during the battery lifetime, it shall be replaced every 6 years.
Note The useful life time of batteries is twelve (12) years. To be in compliance with FAR regulations, they have
to be replaced every six (6) years when 50 percent of their useful life has expired.
E. Electrical Characteristics
Transmitter power supply: 3 x LiMnO2 D type cells.
(1) Electrical Interface
The DIN 12 connector is also used to connect a programming dongle, a CS144 interface or a programming
and test equipment.
(a) DIN 12 connector (J1)
Refer to Figure 6.
This connector is dedicated for connection to the Remote Control Panel, to the programming or
maintenance dongles, to the CS144 interface and/or to the programming equipment (PR600).
Note IMPORTANT: Shielded cables are recommended. The required wires are AWG24.
The BNC connector is used to connect the outside antenna through a 50 Ω coaxial cable.
Note IMPORTANT: The length of the coaxial cable should not exceed 2 meters (6 ft) for a standard
RG58 or equivalent coaxial cable. If the cable length exceeds 2 meters, a low loss cable of
attenuation less than 1 dB must be used.

1 PROCEDURE
A. Self-Test
(1) Periodicity
It is recommended by the manufacturer to test the ELT to detect any possible failure.
It is recommended to perform a self-test once a month by pilot or maintenance personnel from the
cockpit (Remote Control Panel) but it should not be done more than once a week.
However, each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should self-tests be carried out more
often than the maximum allowed, the battery life-time might be shorter than specified.
(b) Switch the 3-position switch on the ELT from position "OFF" to position "ARM" or press
"RESET & TEST" on the Remote Control Panel (ensure that the ELT switch is in the "ARM"
position).
Note The number of flashes gives an indication of the faulty parameter detected
during the self-test.
- If the test fails, contact the distributor as soon as possible. Unless a waver is granted,
flight should be cancelled.

GENERAL DATA
A. General
This Section covers things used in more than one control system. See the related Section for the data on one
system. Each system also uses standard parts. This chapter tells you how standard parts are used to make
special parts for each system.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
The G 120TP-A has the usual flight controls. Ailerons attached to the trailing edge of each wing give lateral
control. An elevator attached to the horizontal stabilizer gives longitudinal control. And a rudder attached to the
vertical stabilizer gives yaw control. Flaps attached to the trailing edge of each wing give extra lift for landing and
take off.
The aircraft has mechanical and electrical elevator trim systems. Optional electrical aileron and rudder trim
systems can be installed.
The G 120TP-A has a control stick for each pilot. Each stick top has a control switch for the aileron and elevator
trim systems. The pilot can also set the elevator trim with a hand-wheel in the center console. A mechanical trim
indicator in the centre console shows the elevator trim position.
Each pilot has a rudder pedal assembly. The rudder pedal assembly attaches to the cockpit floor. You can adjust
the position of the rudder pedals with a hand-wheel. The hand-wheel is just in front of the pilot's seat. A switch
on the centre console controls the optional rudder trim system.
The pilot moves each primary control through a system of control rods and control levers. Steel, flexible-cables
operate the rudder.
An electric actuator moves the flaps. Steel flexible-cables connect the flaps to make sure they move
symmetrically. A lever in the centre console controls the flap position. An adjacent indicator shows the flap
position.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
A. Control Rods
Each control rod has a number. The numbers go in sequence for each control. Rod number one is at the pilots
control.
Each control rod uses standard end fittings. And most rods use standard diameter tube. Only the length and the
angle of the end fittings is special. Most control rods have one fixed end fitting and one adjustable end fitting.
Figure 1 shows an example of a control rod. The rod has a fixed end fitting (1) . It also has an adjustable end
fitting (2) . Each end fitting has a fork (3) and (4) . A bolt (10) with a nut (12) holds the fork (3) to the fixed
end fitting (1) . You cannot release this bolt.
The adjustable fork (4) has a long bolt held by the nut (14) . The adjustable fork (4) attaches to the end fitting
(2) . You can turn the fork to adjust the length of the rod. A lock-nut (13) holds the fork in position. A lock-plate
(8) holds the lock-nut.
An aluminum alloy tube (5) connects the end fittings. A tubular rivet (7) holds each end fitting in position. A
swage also holds the tube to each end fitting.
B. Control Levers
All of the primary control levers are aluminum alloy. Most levers are machined from solid aluminium alloy. The
holes for bearings have a retaining flange at one end. A swage at the other end holds the bearing in place. You
cannot replace these bearings.
Each lever has standard bearings. Most locations use self-aligning ball bearings. Some locations use two self-
aligning ball bearings together. Some locations (where angular movement is required) use spherical bearings.
Some locations use low-friction DU-bushes.
Each control lever has a number. The numbers go in sequence for each control. Lever number one is at the
pilots control.
Figure 2 shows an example of a control lever. It also shows examples of the types of bearings used in other
levers.
All bearings in the control system are maintenance-free. You do not lubricate them.
See the related Section for the location of each control lever and how to get access to the lever. It also tells you
the type of bearings used.
Most control levers have holes for rigging-pins. When the holes align with holes in the attaching brackets, the
lever is set to neutral. You can put a pin through the holes. The pin holds the lever in the correct position to adjust
the controls.
D. Guide Bushes
Guide bushes hold the aileron control rods in the wings. Each bush has a low-friction bearing with 3 balls. Do
not lubricate the guide bushes.

If you move the stick to the left, the short rods (1) and (2) , Figure 5 move to the right. The front lever-assembly
(12) moves the rod (3) forwards. The rod (3) moves the rear lever-assembly (13) so the rods (5) move to
the right.
The rods (5) move the idler levers (14) to the right. The long rod (6) , Figure 6 in the left wing moves to the
right. It moves the aileron bellcrank (15) and the bellcrank moves the rod (7) back to push the left aileron up.
The long rod (6) in the right wing (not shown) also moves to the right. It pushes the right aileron bellcrank. and
the bellcrank pulls the short rod (7) to move the right aileron down.
If you move the stick to the right, the left aileron moves down. And the right aileron moves up.
The spring in the trim unit gives a force in the opposite direction to the control movement.

AILERON TRIM
AILERON TRIM
GENERAL DATA
A. General
The aileron control system has an optional electric trim unit. A trim switch on each control stick operates the trim
unit. An indicator on the IDU shows the setting of the aileron trim. Refer to Ailerons and Tabs General Data for
data about the basic aileron control system.
AILERON TRIM
DESCRIPTION
A. Trim System
The G 120TP-A has optional electrical aileron-trim. The battery bus provides power for the aileron trim system.
A 5 amp circuit-breaker (TRIM) in the instrument panel protects the circuit.
The aileron trim system has 2 parts:
- A trim unit.
- Cockpit controls and indication.
Figure 1 shows the aileron rear lever-assembly. The trim unit (1) is part of the aileron rear lever-assembly.
The Trim unit has a central, vertical torque-tube (2) . A large cam (3) attaches to the torque-tube. The
cam is symmetrical about the aircraft’s longitudinal axis. Each side of the cam is narrow at the mid-point.
The radius of the cam increases forward and aft of the mid-point.
Two large plain bearings above and below the cam carry straight levers (4) . A large pivot-bolt (5) with
bushes joins one end of each lever. The bushes carry 2 cranked levers (6) . Each cranked lever has a
track-roller (7) at the forward end. The track-rollers can roll along the surface of the cam on each side.
A tension-spring (8) joins the aft ends of the cranked levers. The spring pulls the track-rollers against the
cam. The levers make a ‘nipper’ which tries to move the cam towards the narrow point.
A bolt (9) attaches an electrical aileron trim-actuator (10) to the forward end of the straight levers. A linear
potentiometer (11) senses the movement. It transmits the trim position to the trim indicator in the centre
console.
Rivets attach the aileron input-lever (12) to the top of the torque-tube. And rivets attach the aileron output-
lever (13) to the bottom of the torque-tube.
The IDU-680 indicates the cockpit controls for the aileron trim system.
A 4-way switch (Figure 2, (20) on each control stick provides aileron and elevator trim control. The switch
returns automatically to the centre (OFF) position when released. Move the switch left or right for aileron
trim movement. Refer to Elevator Trim General Data for data about the elevator trim-control.

AILERON TRIM
OPERATION
If you move the stick to the right, spring force also tries to move the cam back to neutral
If you move the trim switch (20) to the left, these things occur:
- The electrical trim actuator (10) retracts.
- The nipper moves the track-rollers (7) counter-clockwise round the cam (3) .
- The cam moves counter-clockwise to keep the track-rollers at the narrow part.
- The control stick moves slowly to the left.
- The indicator shows the trim position moving to the left.
If you move the trim switch (20) to the right, the aileron control system moves to the right.
The pilot can override the spring force of the trim system. If necessary, the pilot can pull the TRIM circuit
breaker. This will isolate the electrical trim system. The system will stay at the last setting.

The lower part of each pedal lever is below the mounting plate. A control rod (1) connects each left pedal
lever to a bellcrank (11) . A control rod connects each right pedal lever to the bellcrank.
The bellcrank (11) is part of the adjuster assembly. The bellcrank attaches to a moving carriage (23) .
The moving carriage can move in a longitudinal direction on 2 plain rods (24) . A threaded rod (25) goes
through the moving carriage. A hand-wheel connects to the threaded rod.
Short rods (2) connect each adjuster assembly to the top bellcrank of the middle lever-assembly (12) .
The bottom lever of the lever assembly moves between 2 adjustable stops (26) . Cables attach to the ends
of the bottom lever.
The bellcrank of the middle lever-assembly has a connection for the nose-wheel-steering system. A rod
(not shown) goes forward from the bellcrank. It connects it to an idler lever in the nose gear compartment.
Refer to chapter Nose Wheel Steering General for data on the nose wheel steering.
Two cables connect the bottom lever of the middle lever-assembly to the rudder. Pulleys (27) guide the
cables below the main spar. Pulleys (28) guide the cables through the holes in the rear fuselage. Each
cable has a tension adjuster Item (29) .
The cables cross over in the rear fuselage. The cable from the left of the middle lever connects to the right
side of the rudder actuator lever. The cable from the right of the middle lever connects to the left side of the

RUDDER TRIM
RUDDER TRIM
GENERAL DATA
A. General
The rudder control system has an optional electric trim-unit. A trim switch on the centre console operates the
trim unit.
An indication on IDU 680 shows the setting of the rudder trim.
Refer toRudder General Data for data about the basic rudder control system.
RUDDER TRIM
DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT IS MADE AND ITS FUNCTION
Figure 1 shows the rudder middle lever-assembly. The trim unit (1) is part of the rudder middle lever-
assembly.
The Trim unit has a central, tical torque-tube (2) . A large cam (3) attaches to the torque-tube. The cam
is symmetrical about the aircraft’s longitudinal axis. Each side of the cam is narrow at the mid-point. The
radius of the cam increases forward and aft of the mid-point.
Two large plain bearings above and below the cam carry straight levers (4) . A large pivot-bolt (5) with
bushes joins one end of each lever. The bushes carry 2 cranked levers (6) . Each cranked lever has a
track-roller (7) at the forward end. The track-rollers can roll along the surface of the cam on each side.
A tension-spring (8) joins the aft ends of the cranked levers. The spring pulls the track-rollers against the
cam. The levers make a ‘nipper’ which tries to move the cam towards the narrow point.
A bolt (9) attaches an electrical rudder trim-actuator (10) to the forward end of the straight levers. A linear
potentiometer (11) senses the movement. It transmits the trim position to the trim indicator in the centre
console.
Bolts attach the rudder input-lever (12) to the top of the torque-tube. And bolts attach the rudder output-
lever (13) to the bottom of the torque-tube.
Figure 2 shows the cockpit controls for the rudder trim system.
A rotary switch (20) on the centre console provides trim control. The switch returns automatically to the
centre (OFF) position when released. Move the switch left or right for rudder trim movement.
The trim indication on the IDU-680 shows the rudder trim position. The indicator has marking at
approximately full travel left and right.
Limit switches in the trim actuator stop movement at full travel.

RUDDER TRIM
OPERATION
A. Operation
(1) Fixed Trim Position
If you move the rudder pedals to the left, these things occur:
- The rudder input-lever (12) moves counter-clockwise.
- The cam (5) turns.
- The track-rollers (7) move outwards.
- The tension spring (8) extends.
- The spring force tries to move the cam back to neutral
If you move the rudder to the right, spring force also tries to move the cam back to neutral.
If you move the trim switch (20) to the left, these things occur:
- The electrical trim actuator (10) extends.
- The nipper moves the track-rollers (7) counter-clockwise round the cam (3) .
- The cam moves counter-clockwise to keep the track-rollers at the narrow part.
- The rudder controls move slowly to the left.
- The indicator indication on the IDU-680 shows the trim position moving to the left.
If you move the trim switch (20) to the right, the rudder control system moves to the right.
The pilot can override the spring force of the trim system. If necessary, the pilot can pull the TRIM circuit
breaker. This will isolate the electrical trim system. The system will stay at the last setting.

ELEVATOR TRIM
ELEVATOR TRIM
GENERAL DATA
A. General
The Grob G 120TP-A has an electrical elevator trim system with mechanical back-up. Each elevator has a trim-
tab on the trailing edge. A trim switch on each control stick operates the trim unit. And an electric actuator moves
the trim-tab. An indicator tells the pilot the trim position.
The trim-tab is also a servo-tab. It moves to reduce the aerodynamic load on the elevators.
If the electric actuator fails, the pilot can move the trim-tab with a hand-wheel.
ELEVATOR TRIM
DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT IS MADE AND ITS FUNCTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the elevator trim/servo-tab control system.
A switch on each control stick controls the trim actuator. The switch gives an electrical supply to the trim
motor (1) . Four bolts (3) attach the trim motor to the aft part of the center console. The motor has an electrically
operated clutch.
A chain (2) connects the motor to a gear on the shaft for the trim hand-wheel (4) . The chain moves round 2
idler wheels (15) . Short arms hold the idler gears. You can set the position of the arms to adjust the tension of
the chain.
The trim hand-wheel has a small gear (5) . The gear engages with a toothed-segment on a lever (6) . The lever
connects to a flexible cable (7) . And the cable connects to the trim actuator assembly (8) .
The actuator assembly attaches to the horizontal stabilizer rear spar. It has a trim shaft with an actuator lever in
the middle. The shaft also has two small levers near each end. A pair of short rods (9) connect the actuator to
the elevator trim-tab on each side (10) .
The actuator assembly has a friction damper (11) at each end. Each friction damper has spring cup-washers
which press against a friction pad. A castle nut holds the spring washers below pressure. You can adjust the
damper.
The trim system has an indicator. A rod (12) from the toothed segment moves a lever (13) . And the lever
moves an indicator (14) along a slot. The pilot can see the position of the indicator.
You can adjust the friction pad on the hand wheel. The hand wheel shaft has spring cup-washers. You can tighten
the nut which holds the bolt (16) through the shaft to adjust the friction.
You can adjust the range of movement of the trim control. The lever (6) can hit 2 stop-bolts (17) . You can
adjust the stop-bolts.

ELEVATOR TRIM
OPERATION
A. Operation
(1) Trim Function
Refer to Figure 3.
If you move the switch forward, the electric motor operates. At the same time, the clutch engages. The
motor turns the hand-wheel so that the top moves forwards. The hand-wheel moves the toothed-segment
lever (6) . The toothed segment lever moves the flexible cable aft (7) .
The flexible cable moves the trim-tab actuator. The trim-tab actuator moves the output rods aft. And the
trim-tab moves up.
The aerodynamic force on the tab pushes the elevator down. And the aircraft flies nose down.
If you move the switch aft, then the trim-tab moves down. And the aircraft flies nose up.
If the elevators move up, the trim/servo tab moves a small amount down. If the elevators move down, the
trim/servo tab moves a small amount up. This reduces the force necessary to move the elevator.

(1) Information/Preparation
(a) This procedure is valid for Genesys S-TEC Elevator Trim Servo and for Honeywell Elevator
Trim Servo.
(b) Notice the type of the trim servo (Honeywell or Genesys S-TEC) on the template.
(c) Record the S/N of the respective servo in the provided box on the template.
(d) Both servos comprise a friction clutch on their drive shaft, whose break out torque has to
be adjusted and checked.
(e) The checking procedure can be done either when the servo is installed in the aircraft or with
the servo on a work bench.
(f) You can either check the force on the roller chain when the servo is running and the clutch
slips. This procedure is described here.
Or you can check the torque on the servo sprocket with a torque wrench when the servo is
running and the clutch slips.
(g) If the procedure for measuring the torque is used, the force on the chain can be calculated
by dividing the torque by the radius of the sprocket.
(h) The resulting force on the roller chain shall be recorded in the corresponding box on the
template, refer to Figure 5.
Note Both servos shall apply the same value of force on the roller chain.
(i) In case the value of force is not within the specified limit (refer to step A.2.m) the torque of
the friction clutch must be adjusted.
(a) Remove the LH and RH seat, refer to Pilots Seats Remove and Install.
(b) Remove the covers of the center console, refer to Center Console Cover Remove and
Install.
(d) Thread a cable tie through the roller chain and lock it.
Note Do not install the cable tie too close to the servo pinion.
(e) Make sure that the cable tie fits loosely through the chain.
(f) Use a spring balance and hook it into the cable tie.
(g) Hold the spring balance parallel to the pulling direction on the chain. Fix the end of the spring
balance to a fixation point on the aircraft.
Note In case of no parallel fixation to the pulling direction on the chain you will get a wrong
measurement of the spring force.
(h) Support the aircraft witch external power, refer to External Power Supply Operation.
CAUTION MAKE SURE THAT THE CABLE TIE DOES NOT COME BETWEEN THE
PINION AND THE CHAIN.
(j) Use the electrical trim knob on the control stick and trim NOSE UP and hold it.
(k) Measure and record the value on the spring balance when the friction clutch slips on the
elevator trim servo.
(l) First loose the spring balance from the fixation point and then stop the electrical trimming
on the control stick.
(m) In case the value of the force is not within the limit of 40 to 100 N (9 to 22.5 lbs.) adjust the
clutch friction in step A.3.
(p) Disconnect the external power supply from the aircraft, refer to External Power Supply
Operation.
(q) Remove the spring balance and the cable tie from the aircraft.
(r) Install the covers of the center console, refer to Center Console Cover Remove and Install.
(s) Install the LH and RH seat, refer to Pilots Seats Remove and Install.
(b) Remove the cotter pin from the end of the servo shaft.
(d) Install or replace the tension washers to provide proper number and thickness, refer to Table
1.
(f) Tighten the nut to a starting position and temporarily install the cotter pin.
(g) Measure and record the value on the spring balance when the friction clutch slips on the
elevator trim servo, refer to step A.2.
(h) Remove the cotter pin. Tighten or loosen the nut as necessary to establish the proper force
on roller chain as specified.
(i) If specified force cannot be obtained with castellated nut aligned for cotter pin installation,
remove or add shim washers to change nut height to allow cotter pin insertion with clutch
torque at correct value.
(j) Install a new cotter pin and secure the cotter pin.
Note Some S-TEC servo assemblies are provided from the factory with 0.060 in. THK
tension washers. For those servos so equipped, it is permissible to use one 6.060
THK tension washer as replacement of two 0.032 in. tension washers as called in

GENERAL DATA
A. General
The Grob G 120TP-A has slotted landing flaps. An electric flap drive-unit moves the flaps. The pilot has a flap
selector lever and a flap position indicator.
The flap selector lever operates in a gate with detents at TAKE-OFF and FULL positions.
Additionally the pilot has a flap position indicator on the IDU at ENGINE INDICATION page.
The flap position indicator has marks for UP (0°), TAKE-OFF (app. 20º), LANDING (app. 42°) and FULL (app.
60°).
The pilot can select any angle between 0° and 60°. There are predefined positions for the flap selector lever at
UP, TAKE-OFF, LANDING and FULL.
The flap selector controls an electrical flap drive-unit. The unit operates a screw-jack that moves the flaps through
rods and levers.
A flap interconnection system links the left flap to the right flap with cables. The interconnection system keeps
the flap movement symmetrical if a control rod fails.

(1) Start with drive chain only, disconnect flap interconnection system at the flaps.
(2) Set flaps trailing edge to align with inboard wing trailing edge.
(4) Measure the deflection from the top of the wing trailing edge to the top of the flap trailing edge at
BMET 930 (inboard flap).
(5) Check if both deflections are between 297 and 312 mm [11.69 to 12.28 in.].
(6) Check difference left and right no more than 5 mm [0.20 in.].
- to increase deflection of single flap: with full extended flaps, increase length of inner rod until
the outer turnbuckle arm is min. 1 mm [0.04 in.] from breakthrough in aft spar. Adjust rod at
flap so with flaps retracted the flap trailing edge aligns again
- to decrease deflection of single flap: with fully extended flaps, increase the length of the outer
rod so min. 19 mm of thread is still engaged. Decrease the length of the inner rod so with
flaps retracted the flap trailing edge aligns again
- if needed, the maximum deflection of both flaps can be adjusted at the drive unit aft end
switch.
(10) Adjust tension to the prescribed value using the two turnbuckles; Make tension as equal as
possible. Refer to Figure 8.
(12) Attach both flaps to the interconnection system in such a way that it transfers no load in the
retracted position (vary length of interconnection flap attachment rods to comply).
(15) Increasing the length of the LH interconnection rod has the same effect.
(16) Increasing the length of the RH interconnection rod does the opposed.
(17) Decreasing the length of the LH interconnection rod does the opposed.

SAFETY OVER-RIDE
OPERATION
A. Safety Over-Ride
Brackets at each end of the flap drive unit hold over-ride micro-switches (27) . In the usual operation, the micro-
switches in the cockpit selector stop the motor before the limit of travel.
If the selector system fails, the sliding carriage (25) operates one of the over-ride micro-switches (27) . The
over-ride micro-switch disconnects the power to the motor. The sliding carriage stops before the end fitting. This
prevents damage to the flap system or the aircraft structure.

As the flaps extend, the short rods (40) pull the lever (41) aft. The levers turn the left quadrant clockwise
and the right quadrant counterclockwise. The cables unwind from the front quadrant on each side. And they
wind onto the rear quadrant on each side.
When the flaps retract, the cables unwind from the rear quadrant on each side. And they wind onto the front
quadrant on each side. The short rods move forward.
There is no load on the cables.
If a flap control rod fails, the cables transmit the movement of the serviceable flap to the unserviceable flap.
During extension, the rear cable on the serviceable side transmits the load to move the unserviceable flap.
While extended, the rear cable keeps the flaps symmetrical. During retraction the rear cable on the
serviceable side keeps the flaps symmetrical against the aerodynamic loads.

FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL SYSTEM
GENERAL
A. General
The fuel system of the G 120TP-A uses these units of measurement:
The G 120TP-A has a fuel tank in each wing. The total fuel capacity is 623 lbs (282.7 kg). Two pumps supply
fuel to the engine. An airframe-mounted filter protects the sensitive components. The engine also has a filter
integral with the engine-driven fuel-pump.
The pilot controls the fuel system with a fuel selector valve. Three electrical switches control the electrical fuel-
pumps. A fuel contents display on the engine monitoring indicator shows the quantity of fuel in each tank.
The fuel system has these functional groups:
- Fuel storage (Fuel Storage System General)
- Fuel distribution (Fuel Distribution System General)
- Fuel quantity indication (Integrated Engine Display System General (analog) or Sensors and
Transducers General data (digital)).
This chapter tells you about the fuel system in general and about its operation. Refer to the Section of the related
functional group for maintenance procedures.
Refer to Integrated Engine Display System General for details of the fuel quantity indication system which is part
of the integrated engine monitoring system.
FUEL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The G 120TP-A has two integral wing tanks. The left tank has a total capacity of 306 lb (139 kg) including
the collector-tank. The innermost part adjacent to LH wing root is a collector-tank. The collector-tank can
supply fuel to the engine during aerobatic manoeuvres. The collector-tank can hold 37 lb (16.8 kg).
The right tank has a capacity of 300 lb (136 kg).
In normal flight, two jet pumps transfer fuel from the main part of the left tank into the collector-tank. Two
small flapper non-return valves connect the main tank to the collector-tank. If the jet pumps are not
operating, fuel flows through the flapper-valves into the collector-tank under gravity.
The collector-tank provides uninterrupted fuel to the engine during negative-g conditions for at least
2 minutes. An optical sensor monitors the fuel level in the collector-tank. It lights an amber caution FUEL
LO LVL on the annunciator panel if the fuel level of the collector-tank is not sufficient for aerobatic
maneuvers.
Each wing tank has a filler cap. The filler orifice has a flapper-valve to prevent fuel spillage during accidental
loss of the filler cap.
A safety relief-valve protects each wing tank. It is a combined outward (pressure) and inward (negative)
relief-valve. A dome at the outboard end of each tank holds the safety relief-valve. The dome attaches to
the bottom wing shell. A panel with a vent covers the bottom of the dome.
A second vent system connects the outboard top of each tank to the other and to atmosphere, to maintain
pressure balance. Two easily accessible drain valves are located at the lowest points in the system.
The vent system exhaust pipe emerges at the bottom of the fuselage well aft of the engine exhaust pipes.
The vent pipes cross the fuselage above tank height. Fuel cannot flow through the vent system from one
tank to the other.
A vent pipe connects the top of the collector-tank to the top, outboard corner of the left main fuel tank. The
vent pipe has a restrictor. Only a small amount of fuel can flow from the collector-tank to the wing tank
during inverted flight.
The collector-tank and the LH tank can be drained through drain valves at the lowest point. The RH tank
has one drain valve near the wing-root rib at the lowest point.
The LH collector-tank has a flexible pick-up tube. The tube has a heavy pick-up nozzle. Gravity moves the
nozzle and fuel to the same part of the collector-tank during aerobatics. The tube connects through the fuel
selector to the fuel-pumps. It lets the fuel-pumps supply the engine with fuel in any aircraft attitude.
The electrical fuel-pumps have a much larger capacity than the engine can demand. Part of the fuel supply
from the pumps (the ‘Motive Flow’) goes back to the left tank to two jet pumps. The jet pumps pick up
additional fuel from the bottom of the left main tank area. The combined flow flows into the collector-tank.
This keeps the collector-tank full.
The jet pumps cannot pick up fuel during negative G, knife-edged flight or spins. Only fuel trapped in the
collector-tank is available during these maneuvers.
The aircraft has a fuel balancing system. A transfer fuel-pump can move fuel from a fixed pick-up in the RH
tank to the LH tank. The transfer fuel-pump switch has three settings: ON, TIMER and OFF. ON requires
the pilot to monitor fuel balance and operate the pump as necessary. Timer is the usual setting. OFF turns
the transfer pump off and no fuel transfer can occur.
With the transfer fuel-pump set to ON, the pump supplies fuel through a non-return-valve from the RH tank
to the LH tank. The non-return valve prevents fuel flowing back from the left tank to the right tank when the
transfer pump is not operating. A bypass relief-valve opens at approximately 1.1 psi. It lets fuel from the
transfer pump return to the pump inlet. This prevents pressure increasing in the LH tank when it is full.
With the transfer pump set to TIMER, the adjacent fuel transfer-pump initialization-switch (INIT) controls
the transfer pump. If the pilot operates the switch, the transfer pump operates for 2 minutes. The pump
transfers fuel from the RH to the LH tank.
A fuel pressure switch monitors the transfer pump output pressure. If the pump is ON and there is no
pressure at the outlet, the F TRANS FAIL caution lights. The pilot must set the transfer pump switch to OFF.
A high level float switch in the top, outboard area of the left tank operates when the left tank is full. It lights
the F TRANS FAIL caution. The pilot must set the transfer pump switch to OFF.
A second pick-up in the RH fuel tank supplies fuel directly to the fuel selector-valve. A non-return-valve in
the pipe keeps the pipe primed.
A fuel selector switch (Fuel Selector) controls the source of the fuel supply to the engine. It has four positions:
There is no valve position which would let fuel to be taken from both fuel tanks at the same time. There is
no middle position between the LEFT and EMERG TRANS valve position which will shut off the fuel supply.
The fuel from the fuel selector enters the main 40-micron fuel filter. The main fuel filter attaches to the front
face of the firewall. The filter has a bypass valve and a bypass sensor. Just before the filter bypass valve
opens, the amber FUEL FILTER caution light comes ON.
The outlet from the main filter has a T-piece. Pipes from the T-piece go to two identical fuel-pumps on the
front face of the firewall. Each pump has an outlet non-return valve to prevent reverse flow if the pump is
not operating. One pump is the primary pump. The other pump is the standby pump.
Switches for the primary and standby fuel-pump are located together on the right instrument panel. The
switch marked FUEL PUMP controls the primary fuel-pump. The switch has ON and OFF positions. A 7.5
amp circuit-breaker (marked FUEL-PUMP) on the BATTERY BUS protects the circuit.
The switch marked STBY controls the standby fuel-pump. The switch has ON, AUTO and OFF positions.
A 7.5 amp circuit-breaker (marked SDBY F PUMP) on the MAIN BUS protects the circuit. The switch has
these positions:
The outlet pipe from each pump goes to a T-piece. The T-piece attaches to a fuel-air separator. A fuel
pressure switch also attaches to the fuel-air separator. The fuel pressure switch senses fuel-pump outlet
pressure.
If the fuel pressure decreases to less than 12 psi, the switch operates the amber STBY F PUMP caution.
If the STBY FUEL PUMP switch is set to AUTO, the standby fuel-pump will start. The standby fuel-pump
will operate until the pilot changes the switch setting. The caution goes OFF when the pressure increase
to more than 14 psi.
Part of the fuel flow and any air flows through an outlet at the top of the fuel-air separator. This fuel (the
motive flow) returns to the left wing tank to operate the jet pumps.
A combined fuel temperature sensor and fuel flow sensor attaches to the outlet of the fuel-air separator.
The fuel temperature sensor and fuel flow sensor provide signals to the integrated engine indications. A
hose connects the outlet of the fuel temperature sensor and fuel flow sensor to the engine fuel system.
At the engine, a fuel pressure sensor gives fuel pressure information to the integrated engine indications.
Fuel passes through the engine filter to the engine-driven mechanical fuel-pump, the fuel control unit and
combustion system. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s Operation and Maintenance Manual for more
information about the engine fuel system.
The fuel pressure switch operates the FUEL PRESS warning caption in the annunciator panel. It will operate
the standby fuel-pump, if the STBY FUEL PUMP switch is set to AUTO.
The fuel low-level caution is triggered by an opto-electronic liquid level switch. The switch is installed in the
LH collector-tank. A short delay function makes sure that the caution will not come on immediately during
harsh flight maneuvers. The caution comes ON when the collector-tank is approximately 2/3 empty.
The STBY F PUMP caution light shows that the standby fuel-pump is operating.

FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM
A. General
This Chapter tells you about the fuel storage system. It tells you about these components:
- Main fuel tanks.
- Collector-tank.
- Fuel tank vents.
Refer to Fuel System General for a general description of the fuel system and for the schematic diagram of the
system.
A. Description
(1) Tank Structure
The left tank has a total capacity of 306 lb (139 kg) including the collector-tank. The innermost part adjacent
to LH wing root is a collector-tank. The collector-tank can supply fuel to the engine during aerobatic
manoeuvres. The collector-tank can hold 38 lb (17.2 kg).
The collector-tank is in the inner rear corner of the wing tank. It supplies fuel to the engine at all times
including during aerobatics.
The right tank has a capacity of 300 lb (136 kg).
Figure 1 shows the main fuel tank. The main fuel tanks are inboard in each wing in front of the main spar.
A two-part sealant seals the inner surfaces of the tanks. These components of the wing make the walls of
the tank:
- Front face of the main spar web (1)
- Rear face of the tank spar (2)
- Tank end rib (3)
- Wing root rib (4)
- Wing lower skin
- Wing upper skin.
The outboard end of the tank has a filler cap in the top surface (5) . The cap has a bayonet attachment. A
non-return valve (6) in the filler hole minimises fuel loss if the cap comes off in flight.
You lift the lock to open the tank. Then turn the cap counter-clockwise to release it. You turn the cap
clockwise to install it. Then push the lock down. A mark on the cap aligns with a mark on the wing when
the cap is installed correctly.
The left tank has two drain valves. The right tank has one drain valve. Use the drain valve to do a fuel
sample test. Or to drain all fuel from the tank. Fuel System Defuel tells you how to drain fuel.
The fuel tank has a vent system. Inward (7) and outward (8) relief-valves at the top outboard of the tank
provide both negative and positive pressure relief. The valves are located in a ‘top-hat’ housing (9)
combined with an access panel (10) in the wing bottom skin. A stream-lined vent (11) in the panel lets
air flow to and from atmosphere.
Figure 2 shows the fuel vent system in the fuselage and the collector-tank.
Each tank has small diameter pipe that connects the vent space at the top, outboard corner of each tank,
to a T-fitting located aft of the seat-back frame.
A drain valve is connected at the lowest point of the vent system on each side. The drain valve (22) adjacent
to the root rib drains fuel or condensed water which can collect in the vent system outboard.
(2) Collector-Tank
The inner rear corner of the left tank has a web with two bends (23) . The web divides the collector-tank
and the LH tank. The top skin of the wing has an access panel over the collector-tank.
The jet-pumps supply fuel to the collector-tank in usual flight. The jet pumps can supply more fuel than the
engine can use and the collector-tank stays full. Gravity holds the fuel pick-up pipe (25) near the bottom
of the collector-tank.
When the aircraft flies inverted, the jet pumps supply only the motive flow fuel. Gravity moves the fuel and
the fuel pick-up in the collector-tank (25) to the usual top of the collector-tank. And the collector-tank
supplies fuel to the engine.
When the aircraft goes back to usual flight, the remaining fuel covers the pick-up and supplies the engine.
Fuel covers the jet pumps. The jet pumps transfer fuel to fill the collector-tank again. Fuel can also go into
the collector-tank through the flapper-valves.
The vent pipe (29) from the collector-tank has a small restrictor. This prevents too much fuel flowing from
the collector-tank to the main tank when the aircraft is inverted.
During refuelling, the flapper-valves let the collector-tank fill completely. The vent pipe lets the air above
the fuel escape from the collector-tank.
(4) Jet-Pumps
Figure 3 shows the installation of the jet-pumps in the left fuel tank. A T-piece (38) at the tank spar divides
the motive flow. Rigid pipes (40) connect the front jet-pump (30) to the T-piece and the collector-tank
web. Rigid pipes also connect the rear jet-pump (31) to the T-piece and the collector-tank web.
Each jet pump has these parts:
- A housing (32)
- A base (33) with a strainer (34) . The base makes the fuel inlet to the jet-pump from the main
tank.
- A motive flow nozzle (35) . The nozzle attaches to the housing. The motive flow supply
(36) connects to the nozzle.
- A diffuser (37) . The diffuser attaches to the housing. The nozzle points into the inlet of the
diffuser. And the inlet also connects to the base. The diffuser has the outlet from the jet-pump.
The jet-pumps move fuel from the main tank into the collector-tank. The motive flow comes out of the nozzle
(35) at high speed. When it goes through the convergent part of the diffuser (37) , the pressure decreases.
The decreased pressure sucks fuel from the main tank through the strainer (34) in the base (35) . And
the fuel flows from the diffuser into the collector-tank.

WARNING: DO NOT GET FUEL ON YOU. FUEL CAN CAUSE SKIN DISEASE.
WARNING: DO NOT LET FIRE NEAR FUEL. FUEL BURNS AND CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PEOPLE AND

A. General
The fuel tanks are part of the wing structure. A two-part sealant seals the inside of each tank. Synthetic rubber
seals or gaskets seal bulkhead fittings and other components that pass through the tank walls.
Fuel leaks usually show as a slight stain on the structure together with the characteristic small of fuel. A bad leak
will drip fuel. The external signs of the leak can show some distance from the place where the leak comes from
in the tank. Always track the leak back to the point where it comes from the tank.
In most cases, the source inside the tank will be quite close to the first external signs of the leak. However, in
some cases, fuel can track along structural joints or under damaged or disbonded sealant. This fuel may come
out a long way from the internal source.
Use new seals when you install any component that you removed for access. The exception is the large circular
rubber seal for the access panels of the tank. These seals are designed to be used more than once.

A low-pressure switch in the engine compartment provides a signal to show a red, FUEL PRESS warning.
The low-pressure switch operates when the fuel pressure decreases to less than 12 psi.
An optical fuel-level sensor is installed in the collector tank of the left wing. When the fuel-level decreases
to less than an acceptable level for reliable engine supply, the fuel-level sensor provides a signal to show
a red, FUEL LO LVL warning.
A pressure-switch is installed in the fuel transfer-line to the left wing. The pressure-switch operates when
the fuel pressure decreases to less than 2 psi. If the FUEL TRANSFER PUMP switch is set to ON, (or the
FUEL TRANSFER PUMP switch is set to TIMER and initialized) an amber, F TRANS FAIL caution.
The F TRANS FAIL caution can also occur if the FUEL TRANSFER PUMP switch is set to ON and the left
tank high-level switch operates (Left tank full).
OR:
- The STBY FUEL PUMP switch is set to AUTO and the low-pressure switch operates. In this
case the standby fuel pump runs continuously until selected OFF.
A differential-pressure switch on the fuel filter operates when the filter by-pass relief-valve opens. This
indicates a possible blockage and an amber FUEL FILTER caution.
The transfer fuel pump circuit has a DC current-sensor. The sensor provides a signal to the CAWS when
the pump is operating. A green, TRANS F PUMP status light is shown.
The float in the mechanical fuel gauge measures the fuel level. As the float moves, it moves the position of a
magnet. The magnet moves the indicator on the top surface of the wing.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION
A. General
The G 120TP-A has ice protection for the pitot/static system and the engine. The pitot/static tube has an electrical
heater. The engine air-intake has an electrical heating mat. It also has a compressor bleed-air system to heat
the intake guide vanes and front-bearing support.
Refer to Air Intakes General for data about the engine air intake. Refer to Flight Environment Data General for
data about the pitot/static system. Refer to the Rolls Royce Operation and Maintenance Manual Publication Ref
CSP21008, latest revision for data about the engine anti-icing system.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the location of the pitot/static heat and engine air-intake components on the aircraft.
Figure 2 shows the location of the controls on the instrument panel.
(1) Pitot/Static Tube Ice Protection
The aircraft has a combined pitot/static tube (1) . The tube attaches below the left wing. The front of the
tube has the usual hole for pitot pressure. And the sides of the tube have holes for static pressure.
The pitot/static tube has a heater.
A current sensor (2) detects pitot/static heat operation. The current-sensor is located on the electrical-
distribution plate.
The engine air-intake (3) has an electrical heating mat. The mat has 5 separate heating sections. It also
has a temperature-control sensor (TCS) and a temperature-monitor sensor (TMS). Two connectors at the
bottom of the intake connect the electrical power supplies and the temperature-sensing element.
The engine also has a compressor anti-icing system. A solenoid controls hot air from a tapping on the
compressor outlet casing. When the solenoid is energized, the air supply is closed. When the solenoid is
de-energized, hot air flows to the intake guide vanes and engine front-bearing support. A current sensor
(5) on the electrical installation plate, monitors the current flowing to the solenoid.
A switch (23) marked COMP INTAKE on the right switch-panel controls the air-intake heat and engine
anti-icing. The switch has settings for BOTH and OFF. A 5 amp circuit-breaker (24) marked INTAKE HEAT
protects the circuit. The battery bus supplies 28 VDC to the system.
An intake heat controller (6) on the electrical installation plate, monitors the switch position and the outputs
from the TCS and TMS. It uses these signals to control an intake heat contactor (7) . The contactor is
located in the battery compartment. A 100 amp fuse adjacent to the contactor protects the heating circuit.
The INTAKE HEAT ON shows when the intake heat is ON. When the INTAKE HEAT FAIL light comes ON,
the audio system gives the message 'Check Heat'.
All the CAS messages and warnings regarding the INTAKE HEAT ON status light, the PITOT HEAT OFF
caution light and INTAKE HEAT failure warning are displayed on the IDU-680.
The BATT BUS supplies power for the HEAT P/S. A 15 amp circuit-breaker protects the circuit.
The BAT BUS supplies power for the HEAT INTAKE. A 5 amp circuit-breaker protects the circuit.
B. Operation
(1) Pitot/Static Tube Ice Protection
The usual setting for the pitot heat switch is ON. Power from the battery bus supplies the P/S HEAT circuit-
breaker. The P/S HEAT circuit-breaker supplies power to the heater in the pitot/static tube.
The P/S HEAT switch supplies 28 VDC to the heater through the current sensor.
If the COMP INTAKE switch is set to OFF with the engine running:
- No current flows to the air-intake heating-mats.
- No hot air flows from the compressor outlet to the inlet guide vanes and front bearing support.
- The INTAKE HEAT ON does not come ON on the IDU-680.
- The INTAKE HEAT OFF warning comes ON on the IDU-680.

FLIGHT DATA RECORDERS
A. General
This Section tells you about the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) systems in the G 120TP-A.
The system records performance, operation and navigation data of the aircraft in a hardened crash-resistant
unit.
The recorded data can be used for pilot de-briefing, defect- or accident-investigation.
The aircraft contains optional one of the following systems:
- Flight Data Recorder APIV2, refer to Flight Data Recorder APIV2 Description.
- Flight Data Recorder V3, refer to Flight Data Recorder V3 Description
- Flight Data Recorder V3 (Option 73), refer to Flight Data Recorder V3 (Option 73) Description.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram for the flight data recorder system.
Figure 2 shows the component locations.
(1) Components
The FDR can record a high number of aircraft operational parameters. The input can be analogue or digital
(for example, RS232 or ARINC 429).
The system records all parameter data. It stores the data on an SD-Card in a special crash-box (APIV2).
The crash-box protects the card against physical damage and radiation.
The data can be recorded at the same time on a SD-Card in the APISD. This SD-Card can be removed by
pilots or mechanics for analysis.
You can make an analysis of the stored data with the Analyzer software (PC-software with 3D-functions).
The Analyzer can show the data numerically and graphically.
The BATTERY BUS provides power for the FDR during the usual operation. A 3-amp circuit breaker protects
the circuit. The HOT BATTERY BUS (permanently connected to the battery) provides power if:
- the BATTERY BUS fails, or
- the BATT MASTER switch is set to OFF. A 3-amp circuit breaker in the battery compartment
protects the circuit.
(4) Recording
The FDR starts recording when power is applied to the aircraft battery-bus. The power supply from the hot
bus allows the unit to continue recording after power is removed from the battery bus. The FDR stops
operating when the aircraft sensor inputs stop.
The FDR records the data at 1 Hz or 10 Hz as necessary. At 10 Hz (standard) the FDR can record 50 hours
of data. The FDR can record 100 hours of data at 1Hz. When the memory is full, the new data over-writes
the oldest data.
The EMI Filter Assy gives a better signal quality.
Each pilot has a mark-event button located in his instrument panel. The pilot can push the button to mark
any data for later analysis. The person reading the data during de-briefing can move directly to the mark in
the recording.
The sensor unit is the main interface between the FDR and the aircraft systems. It receives analogue and
digital signals from many sources. The sensor unit converts the signals into a digital format. Table 1 shows
the recorded parameters.

Figure 4 shows the component locations.
(1) FDR General Description
The Flight Data Recorder system developed by iAero collects and stores several defined aircraft
parameters. The data is stored in an internal storage, a hardened memory and a removable memory card
(SD Card). The removable memory card allows post-flight analysis of the recorded data by using a
debriefing software. The debriefing software runs on a Personal Computer on ground and is not part of the
Optional Flight Data Recorder as described in this report. If the removable card is not readable, the
hardened memory and the internal memory can be read out by using a computer and a serial connection.
If the housing is damaged, the manufacturer can read out the data from the hardened memory directly. The
recorder starts automatically as soon as a voltage is detected on its supply analysis input.
The Optional Cockpit Area Microphone is installed in the back wall of the cockpit. The other hardware is
installed in several locations behind the instrument panel, in the equipment compartment and in the center
console. It is not possible for the crew or passengers to touch the open electrical system. The electrical
system is completely closed and isolated.
(2) Components
The iDRMU-001 is a Data Recorder and Management Unit designed to record and distribute data in a safe
and efficient way. It also provides the power supply for the other components of the system.
The iDAU-001 is a data acquisition device and can acquire data from a wide range of analog and digital
sources.
The SD Card recorder is installed in the Speaker Panel in the console. It provides the User Interface to the
FDR system. It has a slot for a user replaceable SD Card. The APISD-001 rev A is an update which enables
SDHC/SDXC support. The device is powered through the proprietary bus interface.
The i2500-002 (FDR barometric sensor) is a device designed for barometrical data acquisition. It contains
3 pressure sensors: two absolute pressure sensors with 2 bar measurement range (for static pressure or
manifold pressure) and one differential pressure +/-350 mBar (by example, dynamic pressure until 800 kph
You can make an analysis of the stored data with the Analyzer software (PC-software with 3D-functions).
The Analyzer can show the data numerically and graphically.
The BATTERY BUS provides power for the FDR during the usual operation. A 3 Amp circuit breaker protects
the circuit. The HOT BATTERY BUS (permanently connected to the battery) provides power if:
- the BATTERY BUS fails, or
- the BATT MASTER switch is set to OFF. A 3 Amp circuit breaker in the battery compartment
protects the circuit.
(5) Recording
The FDR starts automatically as soon as sufficient voltage from the Battery Bus is detected on its supply
analysis input.
Each pilot has a mark-event button located in his instrument panel. The pilot can push the button to mark
any data for later analysis. The person reading the data during de-briefing can move directly to the mark in
the recording.
The sensor unit is the main interface between the FDR and the aircraft systems. It receives analogue and

VIDEO RECORDING SYSTEM
This section tells you about the optional Video Recording System (VRS) in the G 120TP-A.
The Video Recording System (VRS) offers a complete mission recording and debriefing system from multiple
camera views. The VRS consists of the following parts installed in the aircraft.
- Commander Recorder Unit
- Multiplexer (PIP)
- HD Bullet Cameras
- Remote SD Card Slot & Status LED
- Video Recorder Switch
The data will be stored in a removable storage module in the Trim Panel.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the component locations.
(1) Components
(2) Tasks
The VRS system records the video stream and a GPX file as intended.
The following main tasks are provided by the system:
- GPS tagged Video including GPX file
- Picture in picture view of two camera streams
- Video recording at 30 frames per second
- Files are stored to one SD card.
The Commander Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Unit is a 1080 p full HD Video Recording Device
integrated in an aluminium housing (refer to Figure 1).
The LCD display on the front allows a live viewing, real time system status and the possibility of fast
setup.
The DVR can be controlled via external triggers at the speaker panel in the centre console.
An external LED under the cap of the Remote SD Card Slot shows the state of record.
The DVR also stores GPS data from an external GPS antenna mounted to the unit.
Since the Recorder Unit, with one SDI-input, is limited to a single camera operation a Multiplexer is
installed to increase the number of cameras.
The Multiplexer (PIP) creates a single high definition video stream by combining the different camera
views (picture-in-picture). Each view can be scaled, cropped and located independently within a full
1080 p frame (refer to Figure 2).
The output is recorded by the DVR.
A HD 19 Micro Bullet Camera is a small HD Camera with 2.1 Megapixels. It provides a Wide Dynamic
Range, 2D and 3D digital noise reduction and an advanced automatic gain control algorithm.
The camera is housed in an aluminum enclosure (refer to Figure 3).
1. CAM 1 – Camera Mount Canopy
CAM 1 is mounted at the upper rear canopy center frame between the air valves, pointing in
direction of flight (refer to Figure 4). The camera mount is mounted between the air valves with
four screws (refer to Figure 5).
When the canopy is closed a connector installed on the fuselage (Canopy Connector female)
and in the rear of the canopy (Canopy Connector male) provides power from the Multiplexer to
CAM 1 and the dome light, and the video signal from the camera to the Multiplexer (refer to Figure
6).
The Remote SD Card Slot & Status LED is a customized part from Rugged Video (refer to Figure 8).
It provides the ability to insert a SD-Card.
The Remote SD Card Slot is located in the Trim Unit Panel labeled with “VIDEO” (refer to Figure 9).
The Card Reader Unit has a cap to protect the SD Card of unwanted removal and environmental
conditions.
The unit also provides green status LED (not shown in Figure 8).
The green status LED is installed under the cover panel of the card reader. If this LED illuminates
steadily, the VRS is ready to record. If the LED flashes, the VRS is recording.
The VRS can be switched ON and OFF via the Video Recorder Switch installed LH in the speaker
panel (refer to Figure 9).
The switch is labeled with “VIDEO” and has three positions (“OFF”, “ON”, “REC”):
- OFF: Video Recording System is turned off
- ON: Video Recording System is in standby mode showing a steady green LED light under
the cap of the Remote SD Card Slot
- REC: Video Recording System starts recording showing a flashing green LED light under
the cap of the Remote SD Card Slot.
Note When you set the video recorder switch to ON to activate the VRS, the recorder needs up to
60 sec to boot. When you set the switch from ON to REC the recorder needs up to 5 sec to
start. To deactivate the VRS, set the switch to OFF.
The VRS is powered through the “MAIN BUS” (refer to DC Electrical Load Distribution General
Data). It is connected to the Main Bus using a 5 A circuit breaker that is located in the left hand panel
below the instrument panel (refer to Figure 10). The CB is labelled with “VIDEO” on the circuit breaker
panel.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM
A. General
This Section tells you about the stall warning system.
Refer to the related Chapter for data about systems which connect to the stall warning system. Refer to the
Wiring Manual for data on the circuits for the system.
A. Description/Operation
The aircraft has a stall warning system. The right wing has a lift detector. The lift detector has a small flap. The
flap operates a micro-switch. The lift detector connects to the DAU. The DAU operates an audio stall-warning
tone to the audio system. The DAU supplies power for the aural message generator. The aural message
generator generates the warning tone for the stall warning buzzer. In usual flight the air flow pushes the flap on
the lift detector down. This keeps the lift detector contacts open. The warnings do not operate. If the aircraft gets
near to the stall, the airflow pushes the flap of the lift detector up. The lift detector contacts close to give a ground
to the monitoring circuit in the DAU. The stall warning audio system and the stall warning buzzer gives a warning
tone.
The stall warning system consists on:
- Lift Detector (refer to Attitude and Direction General data)
- Aural Message Generator
- Stall Warning Buzzer

CENTRAL DISPLAY SYSTEM
A. General
The Genesys Aerosystems Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) consists of two Integrated Display Unit
IDU-680, with dual integrated Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) and dual integrated Global
Positioning System (GPS) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) receivers.
Figure 1 shows the instrument panel with the two IDU-680 units identified on the right side (OPTION 17) and on
the left side (OPTION 18) of the instrument panel.
The ADAHRS and GPS modules are mounted on the back of the IDU-680, refer to Figure 2.
The two IDU-680 can perform the same functionality but perform it as independent, redundant display units.
Therefore the instruments on the MFD (#2) do not simply repeat the PFD (#1) information. The #2 display
performs the same calculations as the #1 display, but performs the calculations independently and display the
instruments independently. This provides redundancy of computation and display.
With OPTION 18 the aircraft is equipped with two additional Integrated Display Unit IDU-680 on co-pilot's side.
Figure 1 - Panel Layout G 120TP-A Digital Cockpit (OPTION 17 and OPTION 18)

LANDING GEAR
LANDING GEAR
GENERAL
A. General
This Chapter tells you about the landing gear. Refer to Wings General for data about the wing structure where
the main gear attaches to the wing. Refer to Fuselage General Data for data about the fuselage structure where
the nose gear attaches to the fuselage. And refer to the Wiring Manual for data on the electrical wiring for position,
control and warning.
LANDING GEAR
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the landing gear. The landing gear absorbs landing loads. It also lets you move the aircraft on
the ground. The landing gear provides steering and it provides braking.
The G 120TP-A has a tricycle landing gear. The landing gear can retract. Each wing has a main gear leg (1)
and the forward fuselage has a nose gear leg (2) . All 3 legs have FRP doors.
Each main gear leg is a tubular steel strut. A side-stay (3) holds each main gear leg. The side-stay can fold
when the leg retracts. A down lock holds the leg in the down position. An up lock holds the leg in the up position.
Each main gear leg has a trailing arm (4) . The trailing arm attaches to the bottom of the tubular strut. A damper
behind the tubular strut also attaches to the trailing arm. The trailing arm has an axle for the main wheel assembly.
Each main gear leg has a single main-wheel (5) . It also has a hydraulic disk-brake. Toe pedals on the rudder
pedals operate the disk-brakes.
The nose gear leg attaches to the engine mounting frame in front of the fire-wall. A stay (6) holds the nose gear
leg. The stay can fold when the leg retracts. A down lock holds the leg in the down position. An up lock holds
the leg in the up position.
The nose gear leg carries a single nose-wheel (7) . The leg has a damper inside. A spring-damper (8) connects
the rudder control system to the nose leg. The rudder pedals steer the nose-wheel.
The landing gear has a hydraulic system. A hydraulic power-system (9) behind the baggage compartment has
the main components of the system. The hydraulic system has these components:
- A hydraulic reservoir
- A hydraulic pump driven by electric motor
- A hydraulic supply manifold with a retraction-valve
- A filter
- A flow control manifold
- Two hydraulic accumulators
- Hydraulic actuators
- An emergency extension valve
- A dump valve.
An electrical system controls the operation of the landing gear. The electrical system has these components:
- A selector switch/landing-gear-position-indicator in the cockpit (10) .
- Control relays.
- Electric motor for the hydraulic power system.
- Position switches for each leg.
- Weight-on-wheels switches on each main gear leg.
The landing gear has an emergency system. The pilot has an emergency handle in the cockpit. Flexible cables
connect the emergency handle to the up-lock of each landing gear leg.
Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General for the detailed description and operation of the
extension and retraction system.

GENERAL
A. General
This Section tells you about the main landing-gear. Refer to the related Sections for data about these systems
which connect to the main gear:
- Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General. Extension and retraction.
- Wheels and Brakes for Parker brake system General. Wheels and brakes (Parker brake system).
- Wheels and Brakes for Beringer brake system General. Wheels and brakes (Beringer brake system).
- Landing Gear Position and Warning General. Position and warning.
- Wings General. Wing structure.
Refer to the Wiring Manual for data about the electrical wiring of the landing gear system
MAIN LANDING-GEAR
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the main landing-gear.
Each main gear leg is a tubular steel strut (1) . The strut has a longitudinal pivot (11) at the top. Large bearings
(2) at each end of the longitudinal pivot hold the leg to the wing. The bottom of the tubular steel strut has a
trailing arm (3) . A gas/fluid filled damper (4) attaches to the rear of the tubular strut and to the trailing arm.
The trailing arm carries a steel axle (5) for the main-wheel. Four bolts hold the axle to the trailing arm. The axle
holds a steel plate (6) which holds the brake unit. Clamps hold the hydraulic hose for the brake unit to the leg.
Each main landing-gear has a side-stay (7) . The inboard end of the side stay attaches to a large bearing (8)
on the aft face of the wing spar. The outboard end attaches to the front of the main gear leg. The side-stay can
fold.
The side-stay has a down lock and a position switch. Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General
for data about the down lock. Refer to Section Landing Gear Position and Warning General for data about the
positioning system.
An up lock (9) attaches to the wing root-rib. The up lock has a hook and a small hydraulic actuator. A flexible
cable from the emergency system connects to the up lock hook. Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction
General for data about these components.
Each main gear leg has a large hydraulic actuator (10) to retract the leg (retraction actuator). The outboard end
of the retraction actuator connects to the inner link of the side stay. The inboard end of the actuator attaches to
a bracket in the fuselage.
B. Operation
Each main gear leg transmits vertical loads (e.g. landing loads) to the wing structure. When the leg has a vertical
load, the wheel pushes up on the trailing arm (3) . The trailing arm moves up. The trailing arm compresses the
nitrogen/fluid filled damper (4) . And the damper pushes up on the top of the tubular strut (1) .
The damper can compress quickly. But it will only extend slowly. This prevents the leg from pushing the aircraft
up after the landing. It also prevents vibration.
When the aircraft is on the ground, the side-stay holds the leg in the down position. The down lock holds the 2
parts of the side-stay rigid. Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General for data about the retraction
system. Refer to Landing Gear Position and Warning General for data about the position and warning system.

NOSE LANDING GEAR
A. General
The nose-landing-gear-leg attaches to the engine mounting frame. A folding stay holds the nose gear leg. The
leg has an oleo-pneumatic strut and it has a single wheel. The nose gear has 2 GRP doors. The rudder bar
steers the nose wheel.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the nose gear leg. The nose gear leg attaches to the engine mounting frame. The frame
attaches to the front of the firewall. The frame has 2 large pivot bearings (1) . The pivot bearings hold a
tubular steel housing (2) . The tubular steel housing makes the top of the nose gear leg.
Bronze bushes in the tubular steel housing hold a tubular strut (3) . The strut can turn in the housing. A
stop on the tubular strut limits the amount that it can turn. The stop on the tubular strut touches fixed stops
on the tubular steel housing (2) .
The steering actuator (14) carries the steering actuator lever (4) . The tubular strut follows the movement
of the steering actuator lever at the top. The steering actuator lever has a curved track. The curved track
engages with a fixed ball bearing attached to the engine mounting frame. Refer to Nose Wheel Steering
General or the data on the nose wheel steering.
The tubular strut (3) holds a seal assembly. The seal assembly holds a sliding tube (5) . A torque-link (6)
keeps the sliding tube in line with the tubular strut. The seal assembly makes an oil-tight seal between the
tubular strut and the sliding tube.
The lower part of the sliding tube contains oil. The top part of the tubular strut contains nitrogen at high
pressure. A piston attaches to the top part and seals the inside of the sliding tube. A valve in the piston lets
the tube move up easily, but restricts down movement. These components make the damper.
Four bolts attach the nose wheel fork (7) to the bottom of the sliding tube. A towing bracket with 2 lugs for
a towing arm is attached to the fork. The fork holds the nose wheel.
- Refer to Wheels and Brakes for Parker brake system General (Parker brake system) for data
about the nose wheel.
- Refer to Wheels and Brakes for Beringer brake system General (Beringer brake system) for
data about the nose wheel.
The nose gear has a folding stay (8) . The stay has 2 parts. The stay attaches to the rear of the tubular
steel housing. And it attaches to 2 bearings in the fuselage.
The stay has the down lock for the nose leg. The down lock is in the middle of the stay. When the down
lock is engaged, it prevents the stay from folding. Refer to Section Landing Gear Extension and Retraction
General for data about the down lock.
The nose gear leg has an up lock (9) . The up lock is a hook. A small hydraulic actuator connects to the
up lock. Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General for data about the up lock assembly.
A large hydraulic actuator (10) attaches to the folding stay. The hydraulic actuator attaches to the top of
the nose gear compartment. The hydraulic actuator retracts the nose landing gear. Refer to Section Landing
Gear Extension and Retraction General for data about the retraction system.
The door operating mechanism (11) has a lever assembly. Two springs hold the lever assembly in the
open position against 2 stops. Two rods connect the lever assembly to the nose gear doors (12) .
Each nose gear door has 2 hinges (13) . You can get access to the front hinges in the engine compartment.
And you can get access to the rear hinges in the nose gear compartment.
B. Operation
The nose gear leg has 2 functions. It absorbs vertical loads and it provides steering on the ground.
If the nose gear has a vertical load (for example landing), the sliding tube (5) moves up inside the tubular strut
(3) . The movement compresses the nitrogen in the damper. When the load decreases, the sliding tube moves
out again. The restrictor in the piston slows this movement.
Refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General for data about the operation of the retraction system.

LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION
A. General
This Section tells you about the components which extend and retract the landing gear. (In this manual we call
it the retraction system). It tells you how to do a test of the retraction system and how to adjust the landing gear.
Refer to Main Landing-Gear General for the data about the main gear legs. Refer to Nose Landing Gear
General for the data about the nose gear leg. Refer to Landing Gear Position and Warning General for data
about the control and indication. And refer to the Wiring Manual for wiring data about the electrical systems.
A. Description - Overview
Figure 1 shows the location of the main components in the retraction system. The landing gear has a hydraulic
system that uses MIL-H-5606E (or later) hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic system has these sections:
- A hydraulic kit (1) . The kit is located behind the baggage compartment on the left. It attaches to the
aircraft structure with 4 bolts. Flexible hoses connect the kit to the distribution system. You can
remove the kit for access without disconnecting the hydraulic system.
- Hydraulic distribution system (2) . The pipes and hoses that distribute the hydraulic fluid to the landing
gear actuators and up-lock units.
- An emergency-extension system (3) . This has the components to mechanically unlock the gear
legs. It also supplies hydraulic pressure for emergency extension of the landing gear.
- A return manifold.
The aluminium mounting frame (1a) has a folded base. The base carries brackets for all of the components
of the kit.
Four bolts attach the hydraulic reservoir (11) to a bracket on the mounting frame. The reservoir has a sight
glass (12) . You can see the level of the fluid through the sight glass. To see the sight glass you must look
through a small window in the access panel.
The sight glass shows the correct level with the gear extended and the emergency accumulator fully
charged. Use only MIL-H 5606E (or later) to fill the system. Refer to Landing Gear Hydraulic System
Servicing for the procedure to fill the reservoir.
The bottom of the reservoir has a suction connection and a return connection. Rigid pipes connects the
reservoir to the pump inlet and the reservoir. The reservoir also has a drain plug on the bottom (13) .
The reservoir has a gravity-sensitive air vent (15) with an air filter (14) on the top. During inverted flight
the air vent closes automatically. This prevents loss of the fluid during inverted flight. A small plastic pipe
connects the vent outlet to atmosphere. A pressure relief-valve (16) prevents damage to the reservoir from
over-filling
The reservoir has a filler cap (17) in the top cover.
An 800 Watt 24 VDC motor (19) provides power for the hydraulic kit. Four bolts attach the motor to the
mounting frame. Electric power cables attach to the motor.
Four bolts attach a positive-displacement hydraulic-pump (18) to the electric motor. The pump supplies a
system pressure of 2000 psi (138 bar). The pump has the inlet and the outlet connections to the system.
A high-pressure filter-assembly (20) attaches to a bracket on the mounting frame. The filter has a reusable
stainless-steel filter-element. A rigid pipe connects the pump to the filter. A rigid pipe connects the outlet of
the filter to the hydraulic supply-manifold.
A drilled aluminum-block makes the hydraulic supply-manifold (8) . Three bolts attach the manifold to a
bracket on the hydraulic pump. The supply-manifold has the following hydraulic system control components:
- A pump pressure relief-valve (21) . The pump pressure relief-valve opens at 2000 +50 psi
(138 +3.3 bar) and lets hydraulic fluid flow from the pump back to the reservoir in the event of
an obstruction to the normal flow of the fluid. You can adjust the overpressure relief-valve.
- A pump non-return-valve (pump NRV) (22) . The non-return-valve lets hydraulic fluid flow at
high pressure from the pump to the hydraulic system. When the pump is not operating the non-
return-valve closes. Hydraulic fluid from the system cannot flow back to the pump.
- A test connection (23) .
- A thermal relief-valve (24) . The thermal relief-valve opens at 2600 psi (179 bar) and closes
at 2200 psi (152 bar). If the fluid gets too hot, it lets hydraulic fluid flow from the system back
to the reservoir
The following items are also on the hydraulic supply manifold. These components are part of the emergency-
extension system described in Landing Gear Emergency Extension System Description of Function.
- A filter (26) .
- An accumulator non-return-valve (27) .
- A restrictor (28) .
A drilled aluminum-block makes the flow-control manifold (9) . Two rigid pipes connect the hydraulic system
to the inlets of the flow-control manifold. One pipe is for the usual supply system. The other pipe comes
from the emergency-extension system. The flow-control manifold has these components:
- The flow-control manifold has three ‘one-way’ restrictors (29) . One restrictor controls the flow
for each landing-gear actuator. During retraction, fluid passes through the restrictors with little
restriction. During extension, the restrictors restrict the flow. The restrictors make sure that the
landing gear legs extend smoothly and together.
- The flow-control manifold has three pilot non-return valves (pilot NRVs) (30) . One pilot NRV
connects to the up-line for each landing-gear actuator. The pilot NRVs are part of the
emergency-extension system described in Landing Gear Emergency Extension System
Description.
When the emergency-extension valve is operated, some of the emergency hydraulic pressure
flows into the flow-control manifold and opens fully the pilot non-return-valves. This lets fluid
flow out from the retraction side of the landing gear actuators without passing through the
restrictor valves.
- A restrictor (32) controls the emergency extension. The return-flow from all three actuators
passes through the restrictor. A filter (31) protects the restrictor.
- Three flexible hoses connect the flow-control manifold to the distribution system.
A drilled aluminum-block makes the service manifold (10) . Three rigid pipes and two flexible hoses connect
the service manifold to the hydraulic system. The service manifold has these components:
- A thermal relief-valve (37) protects the emergency system. The thermal relief-valve opens at
2350 psi (138 bar) and closes at 2000 psi (162 bar). If the emergency system gets too hot, it
lets hydraulic fluid flow from the system back to the reservoir.
- A manual dump-valve (38) lets you release the hydraulic pressure from the emergency
accumulator. Turn the handle counter-clockwise to release the pressure. Turn the handle
clockwise to close the dump-valve.
- A charging valve (39) on the top of the service manifold is for charging with nitrogen. The
valve body has a poppet-valve with a hollow, threaded stem. The valve can move up and down
in the body but it cannot rotate. A captive nut on the body controls the position of the valve.
Turn the nut fully clockwise to close the valve. Turn the nut counter-clockwise to open the valve.
- A gauge (40) on the front of the manifold shows the nitrogen (N2) pressure inside the
emergency accumulator. The gauge shows the pressure in psi. You can see the gauge through
a small window in the baggage compartment rear access panel.
- A pressure switch (41) senses the hydraulic pressure in the accumulators. The switch operates
if the pressure is less than 1650 psi (114 bar). It opens at 1940 psi (134 bar). The pressure
switch energises the hydraulic pump if:
• the emergency system pressure is insufficient.
• and the gear selector handle is set to DN (down).
Two emergency accumulators (33) are located under the mounting-frame. They are charged with nitrogen.
The nitrogen pressure is 450 psi (31 bar) with the hydraulic fluid released from the accumulator. The
operating pressure of the accumulator is approximately 2000 psi (138 bar) when the accumulator is fully
charged with hydraulic fluid.
Rigid pipes connect the nitrogen charging valve to both accumulators. Rigid pipes connect both
accumulators to the emergency hydraulic system.
A drilled aluminum-block makes the return manifold. The return pipes from each component on the kit
connect to the return manifold. A rigid pipe connects the manifold to the bottom of the reservoir.
The return manifold has a non-return-valve (42) . A rigid pipe from the usual extension line on the supply
manifold connects to the non-return-valve. The valve prevents flow from the usual extension system into
the manifold. During emergency extension, the valve lets fluid flow from the reservoir into the extension
side of the main actuators.
A. Retraction actuator
The retraction actuator (actuator) (43) , extends and retracts the landing gear.
The body of each main gear actuator attaches to a bracket in the related wheel compartment. The ram-
end of each actuator attaches to the inner link of the side-stay.
The body of the nose gear actuator attaches to a bracket in the nose wheel compartment. The ram-end of
each actuator attaches to the aft link of the side-stay.
The aft end of each actuator includes an emergency shuttle-valve. One side of the shuttle-valve connects
to the usual extension hydraulic supply. The other side of the shuttle-valve connects to the emergency-
extension hydraulic supply. A spring holds the shuttle valve in the usual extension setting when there is
no hydraulic pressure in the emergency supply.
Three flexible hoses connect the actuator to the hydraulic system.
B. Pressure sequence valve
The hydraulic pressure sequence valve (48) makes sure that the NLG operates in sequence during normal
extension. This means that the uplock hook is released first before the landing gear cylinder applies
pressure to the NLG actuator. In this case the non-return-valve (49) does not work.
C. Up-lock unit
The up-lock units (46) hold the gear legs in the up position. They release the gear legs for extension
Each up-lock unit has a hook. The hook engages a pin on the related gear leg when the leg is fully retracted.
A small hydraulic actuator (45) extends to open the hook. When there is no hydraulic pressure, a spring
inside the actuator pulls the hook closed. A flexible hose connects each up-lock actuator to the usual
extension hydraulic supply.
A flexible cable connects to each up-lock hook. The cable connects to the emergency-extension system.
It release the up-lock manually for emergency extension of the landing gear.
D. Landing Gear Selector Handle
The selector handle controls the position of the landing gear. It is part of the position and warning system
(Refer to Landing Gear Position and Warning General).

A. Emergency Operation
Figure 6 shows the emergency-extension schematic-diagram. If you operate the emergency system, these things
occur:
- The threaded rod (50) pulls the carriage (52) upwards. The carriage pulls the 3 cables (47). Each
cable pulls the lever assembly for the related up-lock against the springs in the up-lock actuator.
- The non-return-valve (42) opens between the return manifold and the usual extension lines. This lets
hydraulic fluid flow freely from the reservoir into the extension side of the up-lock actuators as they
extend.
- The hooks release the gear legs.
- The emergency-extension valve sends hydraulic fluid from the accumulators to the emergency inlet
of each shuttle-valve (44). The shuttle-valve moves to close the usual extension connection. The
hydraulic fluid from the emergency system flows into the extension side of the actuator (43).
- At the same time, the emergency flow operates the pilot non-return-valves (30) in the flow control
manifold. The valves open. This lets hydraulic fluid flow from the ram-side of each actuator through
a restrictor (32) to the reservoir.
- The emergency hydraulic fluid extends the nose gear leg against the airflow. The folding stay
straightens to engage the down-lock.
- At the same time, the emergency hydraulic fluid extends each main gear leg. For the final part of the
main gear movement, the large spring (54) pulls the side-stay in line. This helps to engage the down-
lock (46).
- If the landing gear indication system has electrical power, the lights on the selector will show red as
each leg un-locks. They will show green as the related leg locks down.

A. Normal Operation
Refer to Main Landing-Gear General for data about the main gear components that the extension and retraction
components connect to. Refer to Nose Landing Gear General for data about the nose gear components that the
extension and retraction components connect to. Refer to Landing Gear Position and Warning General for data
about the position and warning components that the extension and retraction components connect to.
Note The hydraulic pump has a permanent connection to the usual retraction side of each hydraulic retraction
actuator
Figure 7 shows the usual extension schematic diagram without hydraulic pressure sequence valve at the
NLG.
Figure 8 shows the usual extension schematic diagram with hydraulic pressure sequence valve at the NLG
(post RSB565-061/1).
If the Landing Gear Selector Handle in the cockpit is set to UP, these things occur:
- The electric motor operates the hydraulic pump.
- The retraction-valve moves to the retraction position. This connects the usual extension line to
the reservoir.
- Hydraulic fluid in each retraction line flows freely through the one-way restrictors (29) to the
actuators (43) .
- The hydraulic pressure sequence valve (48) is not working. The hydraulic fluid flows through
the non-return valve (49) .
- The actuators retract.
- Hydraulic fluid flows from the extension side of each actuator through the retraction-valve to
the reservoir.
- The actuators engage the up-lock hooks.
- When all the legs lock up, the pump stops.
- The retraction-valve stays at the retraction setting for 15 seconds. The hydraulic pressure
decreases. This prevents any pressure increase in the system opening the up-locks.
- The retraction-valve moves to the extension position.
- The electric motor stops to operate the hydraulic pump.
Figure 9 shows the usual extension schematic diagram without hydraulic pressure sequence valve at the
NLG.
Figure 10 shows the usual extension schematic diagram with hydraulic pressure sequence valve at the
NLG (post RSB565-061/1).
If the Landing Gear Selector Handle in the cockpit is set to DN, these things occur:
- The electric motor operates the hydraulic pump.
- The retraction-valve stays in the extension position. This connects the usual extension line to
the hydraulic pump.
- Hydraulic fluid in each extension line flows to the extension side of each retraction actuator
(43) and each up-lock actuator.
- The hydraulic pressure sequence valve (48) makes sure that the NLG operates in sequence
during normal extension. This means that the uplock hook is released first before the landing
gear cylinder applies pressure to the NLG actuator.
- The up-lock actuators extend. The up-lock hooks release the landing gear legs.
- The retraction actuators start to extend.
- The hydraulic fluid flows from the ram-side of each actuator through the related one-way
restrictor. The one-way restrictor restricts the flow.
- All three landing gear legs extend smoothly and at the same time.
- The down-locks on each landing-gear leg lock the related folding-stay.
- The electric motor stops to operate the hydraulic pump.

Rigid pipes connect the parking brake-valve to unions under the luggage compartment floor. Flexible hoses
connect the unions to the brake calliper units (38) on each main gear leg.
The brake callipers are standard Cleveland components. A piston in the calliper pushes a friction lining against
the inside of the brake disk (39) . A back plate attached to the calliper pulls a friction lining against the outer face
of the brake disk. The calliper can move on 2 anchor bolts.
Each main wheel has a brake disk. The brake disk turns between the friction linings.
B. Operation
If you press on the toe brake of a rudder pedal, the fluid in its master-cylinder is pushed along the outlet hose.
The fluid at the brake unit pushes the piston. The piston pushes the friction lining against the brake disk. The
calliper moves in the opposite direction to the piston and pulls the other friction lining against the disk.
If you release the pressure on the brake pedal, the fluid can return to the pedal cylinder and the brake unit
releases the brake disk.
The right pedal of each rudder-pedal-assembly operates the right wheel brake unit and the left pedal operates
the left wheel brake unit.
If you push on both of the brake pedals, then both wheel brakes operate. If you set the parking brake lever to
ON now, the fluid is trapped in the brake units and the brakes stay ON. Move the parking brake lever to OFF to
release the brakes.

1 PROCEDURE
A. General
When new linings (friction pads) have been installed, it is important to condition them properly to obtain
the service life designed into them.
Properly conditioned linings will provide many hours of maintenance free service.
This conditioning procedure will wear off high spots and generate sufficient heat to create a thin layer of
glazed material at the lining friction surface. Normal brake usage should generate enough heat to
maintain the glaze throughout the life time of the linings.
B. Procedure
For conditioning the new organic linings perform the steps as follows:
(1) Taxi the aircraft to develop a taxi speed of up to 40 kts and apply brake pedal force for a full stop.
(4) If brakes cannot hold the aircraft during static run up, allow brakes to completely cool down and
repeat step B.1 to step B.3.
(5) Do a visual inspection of the disc and the linings to check the lining condition.
A smooth surface with light and regular grooves indicates that disc and pads are properly
conditioned.
If the disc is rough (grooved), the linings must be reglazed.
Note Light use, such as in taxiing, will cause the glaze to be worn rapidly.

A. Description
Figure 21 shows the brake system.
The reservoir (31) contains a supply of brake fluid. The reservoir is located at the top, center of the firewall in
the engine compartment. A short rigid pipe goes through the firewall. Two flexible hoses connect to the brake
cylinders (32) on the right rudder-pedal-assembly (33) .
Flexible hoses connect the outlets of the cylinders (32) to the inlets of the cylinders (34) on the left rudder-
pedal-assembly (35) . Two flexible hoses connect the outlets of these cylinders to the parking brake-valve (36) .
The parking valve is attached to the aft face of the firewall. A flexible cable connects the parking brake-valve
lever (37) to a brake control lever in the cockpit.
Rigid pipes connect the parking brake-valve to unions under the luggage compartment floor. Flexible hoses
connect the unions to the brake caliper units (38) on each main gear leg.
The brake caliper is made of aluminum alloy. A thin anodizing coating protects aluminium from corrosion.
Anodizing does not protect from nicks and scratches.
Calipers are in 3 separated parts bolted together: two housings (Cylinders) with pistons and the back side (back
plate).
To assure equal pressure on both brake pads, disc is floating and brake pads can slide on 2 of the 3 assembly
screws.
The brake housing is equipped with the same inlet port on each side to be used on left or right strut of the aircraft.
The unused port is sealed by a bleeding screw. Inlet and outlet port have Metric M10x1 internal thread.
The brake caliper with P/N EA-003.5N is equipped with back stops each retained by a cotter pin.
B. Operation
If you press on the toe brake of a rudder pedal, then fluid in its master-cylinder is pushed along the outlet hose.
The fluid at the brake unit pushes the piston. The piston pushes the friction lining against the brake disk. The
caliper moves in the opposite direction to the piston and pulls the other friction lining against the disk.
If you release the pressure on the brake pedal, then the fluid can return to the pedal cylinder and the brake unit
releases the brake disk.
The right pedal of each rudder-pedal-assembly operates the right wheel brake unit and the left pedal operates
the left wheel brake unit.
If you push on both of the brake pedals, then both wheel brakes operate. If you set the parking brake lever to
ON now, the fluid is trapped in the brake units and the brakes stay ON. Move the parking brake lever to OFF to
release the brakes.

NOSE WHEEL STEERING
A. General
The G 120TP-A has nose wheel steering. The rudder pedals move the nose gear leg. The rudder pedals connect
to the nose gear leg with a steering damper.
When you use the rudder pedals, the nose wheel steering system can turn the nose gear leg ±5º. And when you
use one wheel brake, then the nose gear can turn ±52º.
This Chapter tells you about the nose wheel steering system from the rudder control to the nose gear leg. Refer
to Rudder General Data for more rudder control data. And refer to Nose Landing Gear General for the data on
the nose gear leg.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the nose wheel steering system. The middle rudder bellcrank in the front seat frame area
connects to the steering control rod (1) . The steering control rod (1) connects to the steering idler lever (2)
in the nose wheel compartment. The steering idler lever connects to the steering damper (3) .
The steering damper contains a spring. The spring lets the nose gear leg turn more than 10º. The steering damper
connects to the steering actuator lever (4) on top of the nose gear leg.
The top of the nose gear leg has a steering input lever (5) . The input lever attaches to the cylinder assembly
(6) . Torque links (7) connect the cylinder assembly to the bottom of the sliding tube (8) . The sliding tube
attaches to the nose wheel fork (9) .
The steering actuator lever has 2 stops (10) . And the steering input lever has 2 stops (11) . When the landing
gear is extended the stops touch.
A guide track (12) attaches to the steering input lever on top of the nose gear leg. A guide roller (13) attaches
to the pivot of the steering actuator lever (4) . The guide roller engages the guide track.
You can adjust the stops on the steering input lever. Each stop has a bolt (14) with a lock-nut.
B. Operation
If you move the left rudder pedal forward, then the rod (1) moves aft. And the lever (2) moves the steering
damper (3) aft. The steering damper moves the steering actuator lever (4) to the to turn the nose gear to the
left.
The stops (10) on the steering actuator move the steering input lever (5) . The steering input lever turns the
cylinder assembly (6) . And the cylinder assembly turns the torque links to turn the nose wheel fork. And the
nose wheel steers to the left.
If you move the right rudder pedal forward, the rod (1) moves forward. And the lever (2) moves the steering
damper (3) forward. The steering damper moves the steering actuator lever (4) to steer the nose wheel to the
right.
If more steering angle is necessary, the pilot can apply one wheel brake. The spring in the steering damper lets
the nose gear leg turn more. The steering damper also lets you use the steering arm to move the aircraft on the
ground.
When the gear is extended, the guide track (12) can turn round the roller (13) . When the gear retracts, these
things occur:
The stops on the steering input lever (5) move away from the stops on the steering actuator lever.
The guide track (12) moves forward.
The roller (13) keeps the guide track central. And the guide track keeps the nose wheel central.

LANDING GEAR POSITION AND WARNING
A. General
This Section tells you about the parts of the landing gear which give position and warning. Refer to these Sections
for the related components:
- Main landing-gear, refer to Main Landing-Gear General
- Nose landing gear, refer to Nose Landing Gear General
- Extension and retraction, refer to Landing Gear Extension and Retraction General
- Nose wheel steering, refer toNose Wheel Steering General
Refer to the Wiring Manual for data about the electrical circuits.
Note The simplified circuit-diagrams in this section do not contain the full details for the circuit. Always refer
to the wiring manual when working on the aircraft.
A. Description
The landing gear position and warning system has these functions:
- Landing gear control
- Landing gear position
- Landing gear warning.
The system also gives position signals to the extension and retraction system.
The system has these main components:
- Power-supply and protection
- A cockpit selector. The cockpit selector controls the position of the landing gear. And it shows the
position of each gear leg to the pilot
- Limit-switches which sense 'down lock engaged' for each leg
- Limit-switches which sense 'up lock engaged' for each leg
- Limit-switch which sense 'weight-on-wheels' on each leg
- Control relays.
B. Equipment Locations
Figure 1 shows the location of the landing gear control and warning equipment on the instrument panel.
A 3 amp circuit breaker marked GEAR IND (3) protects the gear indication and warning circuits. It is located in
the right circuit-breaker panel. The GEAR IND circuit-breaker provides 28 VDC to the landing-gear selector
through two separate cables.
Figure 2 shows the landing gear electrical power-supply simplified circuit diagram.
The warning light (33) is located at the bottom left. It shows red GEAR WARNING when the flaps are extended
past the TAKE-OFF position with the gear up. The pilot cannot mute this warning. Also shows red GEAR
WARNING when the engine is set to idle with the gear up. The audio system says “Check Gear’ for both
conditions.
The unit has a mute button (34) . The mute button cancels the gear warning when the throttle is set to idle with
the gear up.
The unit has a handle (35) . When the aircraft is on the ground, a solenoid in the selector prevents the handle
moving to the up position. A switch on each main gear leg controls the solenoid (the weight-on-wheels switch).
The unit has 5 sets of electrical contacts. One set controls the power supply to the solenoid. Two sets control
landing gear position. One set controls the low-pressure switch. The other set is not used.
E. Limit-Switches
Each gear leg has 2 limit-switches. A down-lock limit-switch detects the position of the down-lock when the lock
is fully engaged. An up-lock limit-switch detects the position of the up-lock when the lock is fully engaged.
Each limit-switch has 2 separate sets of contacts. Each set of contacts makes a change-over switch. The
common contact of each set in the down-lock limit-switch connects to ground. The common contact of 1 set in
the up-lock limit-switch connects to ground.
The second set of contacts in the up-lock limit-switch connects to the down-lock limit-switch. These contacts
control the red position light for the gear unlocked indication.
F. Relays
The landing gear control system has these relays and circuit breakers: Figure 4 and Figure 5 give simplified
wiring diagrams for the relays.
- Hydraulic pump relay. The battery bus provides power for the electric motor for the hydraulic pump.
The hydraulic pump relay controls power to the electric motor for the hydraulic pump
- Pressure-switch control relay. The pressure-switch control relay gives a ground connection to
energize the hydraulic pump relay. The landing gear selector selects the ground circuit for the
pressure-switch relay when set to DN
- Retraction-valve time-delay relay. The retraction-valve time-delay relay energizes the retraction valve
for 15 seconds after the last up-lock limit-switch operates. This lets the hydraulic pressure reduce
before the retraction valve returns to the down position. (Too much residual pressure could release
the up-locks)
- Gear-warning control-relay. The gear-warning control-relay lets the pilot mute unwanted warnings
when the throttle is closed with the gear retracted. The mute button on the gear selector gives a
ground to the relay. The relay has a hold-in circuit. The hold-in circuit opens again when the pilot
opens the throttle
- You cannot mute the gear warning generated by the flap position
- Weight-on-wheels (WoW) control relay. The WoW control relay gives a ground to the blocking
solenoid in the selector when there is no weight on the wheels. When there is weight on the wheels,
the solenoid de-energizes. And you cannot move the gear handle from DOWN to UP.

A. Operation
(1) Gear Down And Locked
- Select UP.
- The selector gives a ground to the hydraulic-pump relay via the up-lock limit-switches.
And the pump operates.
- The selector gives a ground to the retraction-valve time-delay relay. At the same time the
up-lock limit-switches provide a ground through the selector for the trigger connection.
The retraction-valve time-delay relay energizes and gives a ground to the retraction valve.
The valve moves to the retraction position.
- Hydraulic pressure moves the retraction actuators to release the down-locks.
- The down-lock limit-switches break the ground for the green position lights on the gear selector.
And the green lights go off.
- The down-locks give a ground via the up-lock limit-switches to the red position lights on the
gear selector. And the red position lights come on.
- The hydraulic pump operates to fully retract each gear leg. A pin on each leg pushes the up-
lock out of the way. When the leg is fully up, a strong spring engages the up-lock on the pin.
- When each up-lock operates:
• The up-lock limit-switch removes the ground for the red position light. And the red position
light for that leg goes off.
• The up-lock limit-switch removes the ground for the hydraulic-pump relay. But the relay
remains energized until the last up-lock limit-switch operates.
• The up-lock limit-switch removes the ground for the trigger-connection on the retraction-
valve time-delay relay. But the relay remains energized until the last up-lock limit-switch
operates.
- Select DOWN:
• The selector gives a ground to the hydraulic pump relay via the down-lock limit-switches..
And the pump operates.
• The up-locks open to release the landing-gear legs.
• The up-lock limit-switches move to the un-locked position.
• Each up-lock limit-switch gives a ground via the down-lock limit-switch to the red position
lights on the gear selector. And the red position lights come on.
• The retraction actuators extend the landing gear legs until the down locks engage.
- Select landing flap with the gear UP (or not fully locked down):
• The flap position switch connects the gear warning to the down locks. If one (or more)
legs is not locked down, the down-lock limit-switch gives a ground to the warning system.
And the system gives the audio warning CHECK GEAR.
- Set the throttle to idle with the gear UP (or not fully locked down):
- The power lever switch connects the gear warning through the gear-warning-control-relay
to the down locks. If one (or more) legs is not locked down, the down lock switch gives a
ground to the warning system. And the system gives the audio warning CHECK GEAR.
- The pilot can push the MUTE button on the gear selector to mute this warning. The
warning re-sets when the pilot opens the throttle.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW IT IS MADE AND ITS FUNCTION
A. Description
(1) Flight Environment Data
The G 120TP-A has the usual flight environment data systems. It has a pitot/static system. The pitot/static
system has a pitot/static tube under the left wing. The tube has an electric heater. Flexible hoses connects
the pitot/static tube to the instruments.
The aircraft has a static system. The static vents are in the pitot/static tube under the left wing. Flexible
hoses connect the static vents to the instruments. An alternate static system senses pressure in the cockpit.
A panel below the leading edge of the left wing holds the two OAT sensors. The sensors provide OAT data
to the IDU.
The pitot/static system connects to these equipments:
- ADAHRS
- ESI-2000.
The G 120TP-A has a solid state air data and attitude and heading reference system (ADAHRS). It has
three separate solid state magnetic-transducers providing magnetic heading data. It also has a standard
magnetic compass.
The aircraft has four flight displays (IDUs). The IDUs receives data from these equipments:
- ADAHRS.
- NAV 1 and NAV 2
- GPS 1 and GPS 2
- ADF (optional)
- DME
- Marker beacon.
The aircraft has a stall warning system. The right wing has a lift detector. The lift detector connects to the
DAU. When the detector operates, a warning comes ON in the warning page on the IDUs. The system
gives an warning tone through the audio system and through the stall warning buzzer.
The IDUs can display GPS, VOR, localizer and glide-slope.
- GPS 1/2. The GPS modules are connected to the IDUs on the pilot’s side. The GPS 1 antenna
is located on top of the vertical stabilizer The GPS 2 antenna is located just below the instrument
panel cover at the front, left.
- Transponder. The Transponder is located on the co-pilot’s side, in the back, near the ADF
receiver (optional) and the ADF RMI converter (optional). The IDUs control the transponder.
The transponder antenna is located on the bottom of the rear fuselage on the left.
- ADF (optional). The ADF receiver is located on the co-pilot’s side, in the back, near the ADF
RMI converter. The IDUs control the receiver. The ADF antenna is located on the bottom of
the fuselage below the baggage compartment
- DME. The DME is located under the avionic shelf on the pilot’s side. The IDUs control the DME.
The DME antenna is located inside the ventral fin.
- Marker Beacon. The marker-beacon receiver is part of the AMU 50. The marker antenna is
located on the bottom of the fuselage below the baggage compartment on the right.

FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA
A. General
Flight environment data has these systems:
- A pitot/static system.
- Outside air temperature (OAT).
Refer to Ice and Rain Protection General Data for data about the pitot/static heat system. And refer to the Wiring
Manual for data about the electrical wiring in the aircraft.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram for the Pitot/Static System in the G 120TP-A.
Figure 2 shows the locations of components in the aircraft.
(1) Pitot/Static System
Refer to Figure 2.
The aircraft has a combined pitot/static tube (1) . The tube attaches to the leading edge of the left wing.
The front of the tube has the usual hole for pitot pressure (2) . And the sides of the tube have holes for
static pressure (3) .
Flexible hoses connect the pitot/static tube to water traps (4) in the fuselage. Flexible plastic pipes connect
the components.
The plastic pipes have this colour code:
- Pitot system: Green
- Static system: Transparent
- Alternate static system: Red.
An alternate static system connects to a guarded switch (5) on the instrument panel, top right. The alternate
static system has a static pressure port (6) in the in the right circuit-breaker panel. It senses cockpit
pressure.
(2) OAT
The aircraft has an OAT sensor (20) . The sensor is located in the leading edge access panel holding the
pitot/static tube below the left wing. The sensors provide OAT data to the IDU.
The radar altimeter developed by Free Flight Systems is a system which provides altitude above ground
level (AGL) data to an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS).
The radar altimeter provides AGL altitude information from -20 feet up to 2500 feet maximum via computer
interface.
The altitude AGL is defined as the vertical distance from the antennas to the terrain.
The system consists of three Line Replaceable Units (LRUs):
- The radar altimeter Receiver/Transmitter (R/T) Unit.
- Two antenna units.
The radar altimeter contains one electrical connector in the front and two co-axial connectors in the back.
Is located in the bottom side of the digital instrument panel, in the pilot’s side area.
The two antennas are located on the bottom of the co-pilot’s side wing. Each antenna is marked with an
arrow.
The AVIONIC BUS 1 supplies power for the RAD ALT. A 3-amp circuit breaker protects the circuit.
At power on, the system initializes operation and performs a self-test for approximately 20 seconds.
In the self-test, the lock circuitry is tested and a test signal applied to the receive circuitry.
Refer to Figure 3.
The Storm scope WX-500 (32) functions are controlled through Multi-Funktion Displays (MFDs).
Storm scope detects electrical discharges from thunderstorms. The MFD plots the location of the
thunderstorm.
The WX-500 is a passive sensor which works on ground and in the air.
B. Operation
(1) Pitot/Static System
Refer to Figure 1.
The pitot port (2) and the static vents (3) connect to the two ADAHRS (11) , (12) and the ESI-2000
(13) .
The ADAHRS also provides a standard altitude output for the transponder.
When the aircraft is moving, the pitot port (2) senses pitot pressure. The green flexible pipes transmit the
pitot pressure to the instruments.
The static ports sense the static pressure. The transparent flexible pipes transmit the static pressure to the
instruments.
The water traps prevent water from going along the pipes to the instruments.
The alternate static system connects to the alternate static switch. The system has a port (6) which senses
static pressure in the cockpit. If the usual static is unreliable, (for example due to ice) the pilot can switch
to alternate static. The alternate static is less accurate than the usual static.
Pitot, static and alternate static also connect to the sensor-unit of the FDR (optional).
Refer to Figure 3.
(a) Power-up Self-Test
The system initializes operation and performs a self-test for approximately 25 seconds. If an error is
detected, the message is displayed (refer to the user's guide WX-500 of the manufacturer).
The system initializes operation and performs a self-test for approximately 60 seconds. If an error is
detected, the message is displayed on the MDF (refer to the user's guide WX-500 of the manufacturer).

ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION
A. General
This chapter tells you about the attitude and direction equipment on the G 120TP-A. It does not give data about
the instruments. Refer to the instrument manufacturers manuals for more data about the instruments.
Refer to the Wiring Manual for data about the electrical wiring in the aircraft.
These items are installed in the aircraft:
- Magnetic compass
- Air Data and Attitude and Heading Reference System (ADAHRS)
- Magnetic-transducers
- Stall warning system
- Integrated Display Units (IDU)
- Electronic Standby Instrument (ESI).
A. Description/Operation
Figure 1 shows the location of the attitude and direction instruments in the cockpit.
Figure 2 shows the location of other components in the system.
(1) Magnetic Compass
The magnetic compass (1) is on the top of the instrument panel cover. A compass deviation card is located
adjacent to the compass.
The ADAHRS module is installed in the back, on the upper right side of each IDU-680 located on the pilot’s
side.
The MSU consists of a triaxial earth field magnetometer, a two axis accelerometer (tilt sensor), a
microcontroller, power supplies and communication with protection circuitry collocated in a single enclosure.
It is a solid state device with no moving parts.
The MSU senses magnetic variation and transmits field vector information to the ADAHRS module.
The MSU processes aircraft roll, pitch rates, magnitude and transmits field vector information to the
ADAHRS module via an RS422 differential signal serial communication link.

30°, 45°, and 60°.
- A roll pointer
is an upward pointing white filled triangle located below the downward pointing triangle
on the roll scale.
The battery indicator (2) is normally not shown. The battery indicator is an indication of the batteries
relative state of charge and is independent of the 1 hour run time expressed by the color of the battery
indictor.
The horizon (3) represents the line located where the sky and ground backgrounds meet into the
visual display of attitude (1) .
The barometric pressure window (6) is located at the top right of the display screen and the units
shown in the window can be changed using the menu screen.
The slip indicator (5) is located above the heading tape. The slip indicator has a black background

level and units, display and button brightness, and access to the menus.
The heading configuration requires a MAG-3100 or MAG-3000 to be installed and the ESI-2000
configured to operate with a magnetometer.
The heading configuration contain:
- A moving horizontal tape (9)
is located at the bottom of the display with a black background color. The graduation lines,
digits, and letters are white. The tape has a viewable span of 60°.
- A digital readout (8)
appears like a black background with a white border, located above the heading tape in
the center of the display. The digital readout has a range of 001° to 360° with a resolution
of 1°.
- A lubber line (10)
is a fixed downward pointing arrowhead located at the bottom of the heading digital
readout. The heading index points to the urrent heading shown on the heading tape and
provides the value shown in the heading readout.
The indicated airspeed (4) is a moving transparent vertical tape located on the left side of the display
with major tick marks every 10 knots from 0 to 450; minor tick marks at the midpoint between the major
tick marks, and numbered digits every 20 knots from 0 to 440. The tape has a viewable span of 60
knots with higher speeds at the top of the tape and slower speeds toward the bottom.
The altimeter (7) is a moving vertical tape located on the right side of the display with white tick marks
every 100 feet and numbered white digits every 500 feet. The tape moves relative to the baro-corrected
altitude data. The tape has a maximum viewable altitude of 1000 feet and can go as low as -2500 feet

Refer to Figure 2.
The aircraft has a stall warning system. The right wing has a lift detector (23) . The lift detector has a small
flap. The flap operates a micro-switch.
The lift detector connects to the DAU. The DAU operates an audio stall-warning tone to the audio system.
The DAU supplies power for the aural message generator. The aural message generator generates the
warning tone for the stall warning buzzer (refer to Stall Warning System Description).
In usual flight the air flow pushes the flap on the lift detector (23) down. This keeps the lift detector contacts
open. The warnings do not operate.
If the aircraft gets near to the stall, the airflow pushes the flap of the lift detector up. The lift detector contacts
close to give a ground to the monitoring circuit in the DAU. The stall warning audio system and the stall
warning buzzer (19) gives a warning tone.
The AVIONIC BUS 2 provides power for the MSU 2A and MSU 1B. A 5-amp circuit breakers protects the
circuits.

1 PROCEDURE
A. General
The maintenance practices in this paragraph tell you how to compensate (swing) the magnetic compass.
You must carry out a compass swing:
- after installing a compass;
- at a test of the unit;
- at a comprehensive check test (including annual check tests);
- after a major servicing of the aircraft;
- after an engine change;
- after any major build changes near the compass;
- after a lightning strike;
B. Definition
Deviation:
Because they affect the earth’s magnetic field near the compass, the following things can cause
incorrect readings on the compass:
- steel parts that have become magnetised
- wires and cables carrying DC (direct current)
- magnetic soft iron parts
By compensating or ‘swinging’ the magnetic compass, any errors can be corrected – that is a
correction figure can be given for any error that remains. This is called deviation. Airworthiness
regulations require that the deviation shall not be greater than 10 degrees. Measure the deviation
every 30º around the 360º. Fix the deviation table close to the compass.
A= Installation error
B= East-west error
C= North-south error
A. General
This section tells you how to trouble shoot the attitude and direction system. Refer to the manufacturers' manuals
for trouble shooting data about the equipment. If you find the trouble given in column 1, then do the repair given

1 PROCEDURE
A. General
(1) A controlled discharge of the indicator (ESI-2000) is required annually to maintain accuracy of the
capacity meter.
(2) Take the following into consideration before performing the calibration procedure:
- Read the entire calibration procedure before starting.
- The calibration procedure can be performed with the indicator installed on the aircraft.
- The calibration procedure can be accomplished by the pilot/operator whenever a battery
capacity meter calibration is needed.
- The factory recommends the calibration procedure be performed anytime a battery is
replaced or an indicator is replaced; however, the calibration can be performed at anytime
and as often as desired in order to align the calibration with scheduled maintenance
inspections or to accommodate temperature and time requirements.
- The calibration procedure can take up to 8 hours to complete.
- To assure compliance with the temperature limits of the calibration, if performing the
calibration procedure on aircraft the factory recommends, in regions with hot climates,
performing the procedure during the cooler months of the year and in regions with cold
climates, performing the procedure during the warmer months.
- The battery discharge occurring upon entering the calibration procedure menu selection is
considered part of the calibration discharge.
(3) The accuracy of the battery capacity meter may degrade after a year of standby use or storage.
The ESI alerts the operator when a capacity calibration is required displaying the message “BATT
CAL REQUIRED IN 28 DAYS” during startup for 90 seconds, refer to Figure 42.
(4) This message continues to be displayed at each start up. On day zero (0) the “CAL DUE” battery
indicator is shown on the screen during normal operation. The startup message and “CAL DUE”
battery indicator continue to be displayed until the calibration procedure is completed, refer to
Figure 42.
(1) Take the following into consideration before performing the battery capacity meter calibration:
- The battery SOC (State of Charge) must be ≥ 90 % before the calibration of the capacity
meter can be accomplished. Refer to charging instructions in step B.6.
- The ambient temperature of the indicator must remain between 10 °C and 25 °C (50 °F and
77 °F) and have not have been in operation (charging or discharging) for at least 2 hours.
(3) Remove external power from the indicator by placing the aircraft BATT switch to OFF.
(4) The indicator automatically switches over to battery power. Press any button as stated by the
message.
(5) Press the M (menu) button and cycle through the menu options until “Batt Cal” is located, refer to
Figure 42.

calibration procedure is aborted.
If the battery SOC is not ≥ 90 % the message “Battery Requires Charge” is shown in the middle
of the screen, refer to Figure 42.
If the battery needs to be charged: Reapply external power to the indicator. When the battery is
charged to greater than 95 % SOC, shut the ESI down for a rest period of 2 hours for battery
stabilization. After the rest period reapply power and go to step B.2.
(8) When the battery calibration is complete the indicator automatically powers down. A 5 hour rest
period is required for the battery calibration to be successful.
CAUTION: APPLYING POWER TO THE INDICATOR BEFORE THE END OF THE 5 HOUR

INDEPENDENT POSITION DETERMINING
A. GENERAL
This chapter tells you about the independent position determining systems in the aircraft. It only tells you about
the installation in the aircraft. See the equipment manufacturer manuals for more data about the equipment and
see the wiring manual for more data about the electrical wiring for the systems.
To avoid picking up transmissions of one's own transponder, a transponder coupler is inserted into the
transponder RF cable which picks off the transponder transmission, and this is used to inhibit the TAS system
transmitting.
The transponder coupler is located on the left side of the TAS processor, mounted on a mounting plate. Figure
1 shows the top and bottom antennas.
Top and bottom antennas give all-round coverage.
The top, single blade antenna (1) gives fore-and-aft directional coverage.
The bottom, single blade antenna (2) gives lateral directional coverage.
The TAS 605 does not give guidance to resolve a possible conflict. The pilot must decide what action, if any, he
takes.
The TAS 605 has a maximum operating altitude of 18,500 ft, a range of 13 NM and a maximum vertical separation
of 3,500 ft.
The TAS 605 is an active interrogation system. It transmits signals from the host aircraft which can be received
by transponders within range. The transponders of these Intruder aircraft transmit replies which enable the TAS
605 to calculate range and bearing. Mode S transponders also provide altitude information.
The intruder altitude information is compared with the altitude data from the host aircraft altitude encoder. The
altitude data in both aircraft is referenced to 1013 hPa. The aircraft altimeter setting does not affect these values.
Bearing information is determined using the dual directional antennas on the top and bottom of the fuselage.
The TAS 605 monitors the altitude and range difference and warns the pilot when the calculated time to closest
approach meets a certain threshold (15 to 30 seconds depending on aircraft configuration). There are three
categories of intruders:
- Traffic Advisories (TA). The current track of the intruder could result in a near miss or a collision. The
system generates an automated voice alert “Traffic! Traffic!”, followed by clock position, relative
altitude and distance
- Proximity Advisories (PA). The intruder is not a TA but is within ±1200 ft and 4 NM.
- Other Traffic (OT). All other traffic within the range of the TAS 605.
- The TAS 605 unit transmits the traffic data to all display units and each of those has its own
configuration and can choose to display data according to its own.
The TAS 605 has a Ground Mode. In ground mode, the system ignores aircraft on the ground. The system
automatically enters flight mode when climbing though 400 ft during take-off.
The TAS 605 has an Approach Mode. During approach, the system eliminates responses from aircraft on
the ground which would cause TAs. It also operates at a reduced range.
The AVIONIC BUS 1 supplies power for the TAS. A 3 amp circuit-breaker protects the circuit.
(4) Built-In-Test
The TAS 605 has a built in test system. During power-up, it does a comprehensive test. The system does
a continuous test during normal operation.

1 PROCEDURE
If the reading is incorrect, or should the indicator move in the wrong direction, check the wiring of the
equipment in accordance with the interwiring diagram and correct as necessary (antenna mounted top
or bottom).
If the aircraft is accurately aligned with the NDB beacon, but a relative bearing reading of 0° is not
indicated, this is an indication that the antenna has been wrongly installed. Recheck the antenna in
accordance with the centreline of the aircraft and correct if necessary.
(1) Locate the aircraft on the correction platform and using the bearing compass, point the nose of
the aircraft to a radio beacon in boundary range.
(3) Adjust to the correct frequency and observe the indicator in the ADF operating mode. The ADF
Indicaton should read 0° relative bearing.
(4) Turn the aircraft about its vertical axis to a larger heading. The indicator should move to the left.
(5) Turn the aircraft about its vertical axis to a smaller heading. The indicator should move to the right.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the oxygen installation in the cockpit.
The oxygen system has these main assemblies:
- Mounting brackets for the oxygen cylinder
- An oxygen cylinder with a regulator assembly
- A control panel
- An applicable protective cover for the oxygen cylinder
- Pilot oxygen supply equipment.
Two FRP brackets (1) attach the oxygen cylinder (2) to the structure below the baggage compartment.
Two large quick-release clamps attach the oxygen cylinder to the brackets.
A large, composite cylinder stores the oxygen at high pressure. The cylinder has a oxygen capacity of 2183
liters (77 cu.ft) at 1.850 psi (127 bar).
The inboard end of the bottle has a regulator connected directly to the cylinder. The high-pressure side of
the regulator has three outlet ports. These components attach to the high-pressure side of the regulator:
- A charging valve (5) . The charging valve has a standard aviation oxygen fitting (AND 100 89-3
(SAE AS 1219)). A check-valve prevents flow from the cylinder to the charging valve.
- A pressure gauge (6) . The pressure gauge shows the oxygen pressure in the cylinder at all
times. The gauge is connected to the high-pressure port.
- A safety relief valve (7) . The safety relief valve opens if the pressure in the cylinder becomes
too high. Oxygen from the safety relief valve flows to a discharge-port (8) in the right side of
the fuselage. It blows out a green safety disc in the port to indicate an overpressure.
The regulator reduces the high pressure from about 1.850 psi (127 bar) to a low pressure of 50 – 70 psi
(3.4 – 4.8 bar). The low pressure is suitable for constant flow cannulas between 8.000 ft and 18.000 ft.
Constant flow masks (demand or diluter-demand) can use the low pressure supply between 8.000 ft and
a maximum altitude of 25.000 ft.
The low pressure side of the regulator is connected to the control panel with the supply pipe (17) .
An ON/OFF valve closes the passage between the high pressure and low pressure sides in the OFF
position. It opens the passage in the ON position. A lever (9) on the regulator operates the valve. A flexible
control-cable (10) connects the lever to the control panel.
- A green ON/OFF control lever. The flexible control-cable (10) connects the cockpit lever to
the ON/OFF valve on the regulator.
- Two quick-release connectors (13) . Each quick-release connector connects to a manifold
below the control panel. A supply pipe (17) connects the manifold to the low-pressure side of
the regulator. A check-valve seals the connector when not in use. A spring-loaded cap protects
the against dirt and dust.
Note The indication of the pressure at the oxygen system is visible on the IDU-680, refer to Engine
Indications Description.
A strong FRP box protects the oxygen cylinder and regulator assembly. Screws attach the main part of the
box to top of the seat frame, the baggage compartment floor and the end wall. The left end of the box is
open. The right end of the box has large ventilation holes.
A recess in the top of the box holds the fire extinguisher and the flashlight.
Each pilot can use a cannula or a mask for oxygen supply. The cannula or mask is connected by the flexible
hose to the quick-release connector on the control-panel. To connect the flexible hose to the control panel
you must push and slightly turn the hose end-fitting into the quick-release connector. This opens the check-
valve in the connector. If the control-lever is set to ON oxygen flows to the cannula or mask.
For data about the cannula or mask used in your aircraft refer to the manufacturer’s manuals.

STANDARD PRACTICES AND STRUCTURES
A. General Description
The G 120TP-A is a single-engine low wing monoplane with a conventional tail. It has a full composite airframe
and a retractable tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel.
The combination of fuselage and vertical tail is a semi-monocoque design. Two monolithic half-shells of glass
fiber composite make the skin, and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) frames and bracings give stiffness to
the shells of fuselage and vertical tail where necessary. The cockpit floor is reinforced with an additional carbon
layer. The front fuselage supports the turboprop engine with its two-part cowling and the retractable nose landing
gear.
The G 120TP-A has a cantilever wing with top and bottom shells of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The
wing shells are sandwich constructions with either aramid honeycomb or PVC rigid foam cores. Each wing has
a І-section spar with CFRP caps and a GFRP sandwich web. The spar separates the integral tank from the
controls that are integrated in the rear area of the wing. All ribs and stiffeners are glass fiber reinforced and
monolithically designed. A GFRP rear web closes the trailing edge of the wing, and a CFRP rib makes the
outboard end. Removable CFRP winglets attach to the wing shells with screws. Both wings are interconnected
via the spar stubs, and the root ribs integrate the shear bolt connections to the fuselage. The wings also support
the retractable main landing gear.
The horizontal stabilizer has top and bottom sandwich shells with GFRP skins and aramid honeycomb cores. It
has a glass fiber reinforced spar and rear web. The three-part GFRP root ribs give strength to the horizontal tail-
to-fuselage attachment.
All control surfaces have top and bottom sandwich shells with PVC rigid foam cores. Aileron, flaps, the rudder
and the trim tabs have glass fiber reinforced skins and ribs; the elevator has carbon fiber reinforced skins and
ribs.
The canopy is a CFRP frame consisting of an inner and an outer part which bond together. Canopy and
windshield have acrylic glass windows.
These major components make the structure of the aircraft. The composite shells and frames of each component
are bonded together with a special resin mixture containing cotton flocks and a thixotropic agent. All other parts
of the airframe – i.e. the assemblies of engine and landing gear, the control system, electrics and avionics, etc.
– attach to these major components with standard fasteners.
A high solid PUR-acrylic paint system protects the structure from electrostatic charge and harmful environmental
influences, i.e. notably ultraviolet rays which cause photochemical degradation of the composites, and humidity
which leads to considerable loss of strength and stiffness.
Three types of reinforcing fibers are used for the composite structures of the G 120TP-A:
(a) Glass Fibers
E-glass fibers are the most commonly used reinforcing material for the composite components of the
G 120TP-A. They exhibit outstanding physical, thermal, dielectric and chemical properties. E glass
fibers add remarkable strength to the epoxy composite, but their stiffness is relatively low. Glass fibers
are incombustible and temperature-resistant up to approx. 400°C. They start melting at about 840°C.
Epoxy composites with reinforcing glass fibers are designated GFRPs (glass fiber reinforced plastics).
GFRP structures are those of
- the fuselage with integral vertical stabilizer,
- the horizontal stabilizer,
- the ribs and webs of the wings,
- the control surfaces except for the elevator, and
- some versions of the two-part engine cowling.
Carbon fibers exhibit an even higher strength and a significantly higher stiffness than glass fibers. The
fiber density is low, and thus the specific weight of the CFRP structures. Additionally, carbon fibers
show an excellent fatigue behavior. But they are sensitive to impact loads because of their low ultimate
strain. Carbon fiber composites are thermally and electrically conducting. The fibers resist
temperatures above 1000°C without loss of strength.
Epoxy composites with reinforcing carbon fibers are designated CFRPs (carbon fiber reinforced
plastics).
CFRP structures are those of
- the wing shells, spar caps and outboard end ribs,
- the winglets,
- the canopy frame,
- the elevator, and
- some versions of the two-part engine cowling.
The cockpit floor also integrates a CFRP layer which gives additional stiffness to the fuselage bottom.
Aromatic polyamid fibers are used especially when priority is given to weight savings and impact
resistance. The strength and stiffness properties are comparable to those of E-glass fibers. Aramid
fibers are noncombustible, and melt at about 500°C. The synthetic fibers have superior chemical
resistance, but they are very prone to moisture and decompose under UV-B rays. Because of their
toughness, and high ultimate strain respectively, the processing of aramid fibers is difficult. Special
tools are needed to cut and machine these fibers and their laminates.
Epoxy composites with reinforcing aramid fibers are designated SFRPs (synthetic fiber reinforced
plastics).
Reinforcing fibers are available in different styles. The G 120TP-A mainly use twill 2/2 weaves for the shells,
frames and ribs of its components, and unidirectional fabrics where bending loads are dominating. The
high-loaded spar caps of the wings are made of carbon roving material. Rovings are non-woven fiber strands
which are combined to bundles and impregnated with epoxy resin.
The fiber direction gives the strength and stiffness properties of the structures. Fabric construction and fiber
orientation must be strictly maintained when repairing composite structures.
(3) Laminates
The reinforcing fibers (and fabrics respectively) are embedded in a matrix of epoxy resin. This makes the
composite structure and is called laminate.
(a) Monolithic Structures
Monolithic structures consist of two or more laminate layers, one upon the other. The G 120TP-A has
a monolithic fuselage structure, and lots of ribs and stiffeners are monolithically designed.
Sandwich structures consist of a stiffening core material, i.e. aramid honeycombs, rigid foam or ply
wood, and laminate facings. The core material increases the thickness of the laminate, and thus its
buckling resistance.
The G 120TP-A has a lot of sandwich structures:
- the wing shells, the stubs and the shear webs of the wing spars,
- the shells of horizontal stabilizer,
- the shells of control surfaces,
- the main frames of the fuselage
- the cowling, and
- the nose landing gear doors, etc.
Refer to Chapter 51-10 for more information on the inspection and damage detection techniques on composite
structures.
D. Structure Classification
The G 120TP-A has two categories of structure:
(1) Primary Structure
The primary structure carries the main loads of the G 120TP-A. Its integrity is essential in maintaining the
overall flight safety of the aircraft.
You are only allowed to do class 2 repairs (refer to Chapter 51-10) to primary structure, and you must ask
GROB for advice before you repair damage to the main load-bearing areas shown in Figure 1 below.
These components of the G 120TP-A are primary structure:
- fuselage and internal structure,
- wing shells and internal structure,
- winglets and internal structure,
- horizontal stabilizer shells and internal structure,
- all control surface shells and internal structure, and
- tail fins.
Be sure to ask GROB for assistance before you attempt to repair these parts of the structure:
- wing main spar, root rib and all internal structure,
- wing shells and structure in the area of the fuel tanks and main landing gear attachments,
- fuselage in the area of wing attachments and horizontal stabilizer attachments,
- vertical stabilizer in the area of the horizontal stabilizer cut-out,
- horizontal stabilizer in the area of the attachments, root ribs and main spar, and
- elevator shells and all internal structure.
The secondary structure of the G 120TP-A are unstressed structural components. Failure of secondary
structure neither reduces the airframe structural integrity nor prevents the aircraft from continued safe flight
and landing.
These components of the G 120TP-A are secondary structure:
- engine cowlings and fairings,
- canopy,
- landing gear doors,
- all access panels, and
- covers and encasements in the cabin.

COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
GENERAL
A. General
This chapter tells you how to assess damage to the composite structure, and gives adequate inspection
techniques. Damage assessment and repairs must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
Refer to Chapter 51-00 for the types of structures used in the G 120TP-A. Chapter 51-21 tells you about general
repair descriptions, and Chapter 51-30 lists the materials of the airframe.
COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
INVESTIGATION
A. Types of Damage
There are two basic types of damage in composite structures that can not necessarily be found by visual
inspection:
- disbonding and
- delamination.
Disbonding is the failure of bonded joints between two or more components, for example between a rib and a
shell structure, or between a metal part and a composite component, or between a skin and a core material of
sandwich constructions.
Delamination is the failure of a bond between two or more fabric layers or roving strands in a laminated
component.
There are also two types of cracks that can occur in composite structures:
- micro cracks, and
- major cracks.
Micro cracks occur in the surface of the resin or the paint system and do not affect the integrity of the structure.
Keep monitoring micro cracks and protect the airframe against moisture ingress. Micro cracks might restrict
airworthiness in the long run.
Major cracks occur in the laminate layers. There are broken fibers. Major cracks do not occur in usual flight or
ground operation. You must carefully examine the areas around major cracks for indication of further damage.
You must repair all major cracks. If you are not sure how to proceed with further inspection of major cracks you
should contact GROB for advice.
B. Damage Assessment
Damage is classified as described below. If you are not sure about the classification of any damage you must
refer to GROB.
(1) Class 1 Damage
Major structural damage that requires partial replacement of structural components or extensive repairs is
counted among Class 1:
- damage that interrupts load transmission to and within primary structural components (refer to
Chapter 51-00)
- large damage (dimensions > 150 mm in either direction).
Damage to primary structural components that exceeds the damage limits given in Section C of this Chapter
is counted among Class 2.
Class 2 damage restricts or voids airworthiness.
Examples: cracks and holes in fuselage structure, cracks and holes passing through both skins of sandwich
constructions, large disbonds between shell structures and stiffeners
Small holes, cracks, and delamination or disbonds within the damage limits given in Section C of this
Chapter are counted among Class 3.
Examples: small damage to the outer laminate layers of the fuselage structure, small cracks and holes in
the outer skin of sandwich constructions, damage to unstressed structure
Holes and cracks must be repaired after detection. Delamination, disbonding and impact damage within
the limits given in Section C of this Chapter do not require immediate repair, but stringent monitoring and
protection against moisture ingress. It must be repaired at the earliest possible opportunity, since it might
restrict airworthiness in the long run.
Minor scratches, abrasions or similar damage, and all damage to the protective paint system are counted
among Class 4.
Class 4 damage does not require immediate repair, but monitoring and protection against moisture ingress.
It may restrict airworthiness in the long run.

D. Inspection Techniques
(1) Visual Inspection
Use this method to find all types of damage to composites. Use a bright light and a telescopic mirror to
examine visually the inside of a component.
GFRP and SFRP must be light green or beige in color. If there are white areas, then it may be damaged.
Look especially at areas where parts and components bond to GFRP and SFRP.
CFRP must be black in color. Apply a small load to the area where you expect damage, e.g. by pushing
slightly on it. Check for abnormal flexibility or noises. Broken CFRP-laminate often crackles and crunches
under load. Look especially at areas where parts and components bond to the CFRP.
Look carefully at the outer surface of the structure. If the paint has cracks or bubbles, then the composite
structure below may be damaged.
Also look for dents and deformation. Lock especially at the bottom areas of the G 120TP-A where impact
damage is possible because of small stones that hit the lower surfaces of fuselage, inboard wing and flaps.
Impact damage is also likely in the area of the wing walkways.
Use the light test to find delamination on monolithic parts and components. You can use this test on thick
GFRP and SFRP sections of the structure, but it is not possible to use on sandwich constructions and CFRP
laminates.
Point a very bright light at the surface and look from the opposite side of the structure to the light source.
Then damage usually shows as dark areas in the laminate. You can point the light from the inside or from
the outside of a component.
CAUTION DO NOT LET THE STRUCTURE GET HOT. HEAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO COMPOSITES
AND PAINT.
Use the tap test to find delamination and disbonding. A special tap-test tool is available from GROB, or you
can use a coin.
Tap on the laminate surface across the area you expect damage. The sound of the tool or coin tapping will
change as you move over damaged laminate. The intact laminate sounds sharp and clear. Delamination
and disbonding sound tinny.
Note STIFFENERS, FRAMES, AND RIBS WHICH ARE BONDED TO A SHELL STRUCTURE ALSO
CAUSE CHANGES OF THE TAPPING SOUND.
If you find damage to the paint when you examine a composite structure, and if any other inspection
technique fails, then do this further examination.
Find a way to see the inside of the structure. If necessary, remove panels or other components, and use
remote viewing equipment (e.g. a flexible endoscope). For example, remove a winglet to see inside the
outboard wing structure. Or remove the horizontal stabilizer to inspect the structural fuselage-to-tail-
connection. If you can see damage inside the component you must do a repair.
Remove the paint coat carefully in the area that you think is damaged. You must not make additional
damage to the upper laminate layers. Look carefully at the surface under the paint coat, and push the middle
of the area to be examined with your thumb. If you can feel the skin hitting other laminate layers and
structures behind, or the core of a sandwich structure, then the skin is delaminated or disbanded
respectively. Then you must do a repair.
In some cases you need to cut extra inspection holes into the structure to examine the airframe thoroughly.
In this case you must ask GROB for advice.
51-12
METAL PARTS
METAL PARTS
GENERAL
A. General
This Chapter tells you how to inspect the metal parts used in the G 120TP-A structure. It also tells you how to
treat corrosion.
For investigation of metal parts refer to Metal Parts Investigation.
The information and maintenance practices in this section tell you what corrosion is, and how to detect, control
and prevent corrosion. They also tell you how to identify and treat metals that have been exposed to corrosive
environments.
Strength is often reduced by corrosion. These maintenance practices do not give the repair limits for individual
components. Where any component has more than minor surface corrosion to a small area, repair by
replacement with a new component.
Note Minor surface corrosion is any corrosion that is less than 5 % of the material thickness and less than
20 % of the surface area.
METAL PARTS
INVESTIGATION
A. Description
Corrosion is the tendency of metals to revert to their more stable oxidized state, which occurs when they react
with air to form metal oxides. They can also react with acids and alkalis to form metal salts.
Reactions between metals and their environments may occur when the operating environment is either dry
(known as oxidation corrosion) or when the environment is wet (known as electrochemical corrosion). Although
water vapor in the air plays a part in the oxidation of some metals, a dry atmosphere is all that is needed for
corrosion to start.
Metal components will corrode faster if the aircraft is operated in areas where impurities exist in the atmosphere,
such as salt water or pollution.
B. Safety considerations
Make sure you know the safety precautions and first aid instructions before you use a hazardous substance.
Read the label on the container in which the substance is supplied, the safety data sheet applicable to the
substance and obey all local orders, regulations and instructions.
Substances hazardous to health are used in corrosion treatment descriptions. Make sure you read and
understand the warnings given in this manual and on the product before you use any hazardous substance.
Before starting corrosion rectification, identify the parent material and structural classification of the component.
Note Before starting with corrosion repair or re-protection, read and understand all stages in the treatment. If
in doubt, ask GROB for advice.
Paint remover, acids, solvents and some corrosion treatments will attack the aircraft main structure and
components manufactured from rubber and plastic. To minimize the risk of damage, remove components from
the aircraft before any treatment is applied. Where this is not possible, all areas must be adequately masked
before any treatment is applied. Make sure that chemicals cannot get into crevices or any part of the aircraft’s
internal structure.
Wear protective clothing when using paint remover or mixing solutions. Protective clothing should include rubber
gloves, coveralls and eye shields.
Apply barrier cream to the hands before starting work. If the skin becomes contaminated, (particularly with Paint
Remover, Alocrom part A, or a mixed solution of Alocrom), rinse the affected area with water and seek medical
advice.
Note Wear a spray mask. Use fluids only in good ventilated areas.
Containers used for solution preparation must be made of acid-proof material.
Paper swabs or brushes used to apply or remove Alocrom solution are a fire risk if allowed to dry without rinsing.
Rinse with water before allowing them to dry. Dispose of waste material contaminated with Alocrom solution only
in accordance with local orders.
Note When vacuum blasting be sure to remove all abrasives before proceeding with work. Keep abrasives
away from the aircraft internal structures and mechanical systems.
Make sure that all paint and pre-treatment solutions are mixed properly before use.
2K primer has a pot life of 24 h and must be discarded if not completely used.
Mixed Alocrom 1200 has a pot life or 24 h and must be discarded if not completely used.
Make sure that all equipment used is thoroughly cleaned after use. Clean Paint-contaminated items with cellulose
thinners. Clean acid-contaminated items in water and dry with absorbent paper.
The heads of tubular rivets used in control rod end fittings sometimes crack during installation. Such cracks
are not critical, but must be monitored. Radial cracks of up to 2 mm (0.08 inch) running from the edge of
the rivet head towards the centre are acceptable (refer to Figure 1).

COMPOSITE STRUCTURE REPAIR
A. General
This chapter tells you how to repair fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) structures.
- Refer to Chapter 51-00 for data about the types of composite structure.
- Refer to Chapter 51-10 for inspection procedures to find defects in composite structure and metal
parts.
- Refer to Chapter 51-30 for data about repair materials.
You must use only approved materials for repairs to the structure.
Only persons approved by the National Airworthiness Authority are allowed to repair composite structures.
A detailed description of the main components and their composite structures is given in the following chapters:
- Chapter 53 : Fuselage
- Chapter 55: Stabilizers
- Chapter 57: Wings.
A. Safety Precautions
Most resins can cause skin disease. When you work with resin/hardener use a protective cream on your hands
and exposed skin. You must always wear rubber gloves.
WARNING: DO NOT GET RESIN ON YOUR SKIN. RESIN CAN CAUSE SKIN DISEASE.
The resins/hardeners/solvents used for FRP repairs are either poisonous or at least allergenic:
- Keep food away from the work area
- Use a mask to protect your face
- Use eye-protection.
When you grind composites, you make small particles of fiber and resin dust. These particles irritate the skin
and eyes. If you inhale them, they can cause lung disease.
When you grind a composite, use a protective cream on your hands and exposed skin. Wear these protective
items:
- Coveralls/overalls which seal at the wrists and the neck
- Rubber gloves
- A breathing mask to protect mouth and nose (It must seal to your face)
- Eye-protection that seals to your face.
If possible, use a face mask with filter, built-in goggles and full face protection.
If you get composite dust on your skin:
- Wash it off with cold flowing water
- Do not rub the skin while it has dust on it.
WARNING: DO NOT GET FRP PARTICLES IN YOUR MOUTH, IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN. THESE
PARTICLES CAN CAUSE DISEASE.
B. Workshop Conditions
Keep the workshop clean. You must have clean conditions to make a satisfactory repair.
Remove grinding dust as it occurs. Even small concentrations of composite dust in the air can produce an
explosive composition.
The best temperature is between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F). The temperature must not fall below 18°C
(65°F) and should not rise above 28°C (83°F).
If possible, keep the workshop temperature at 22°C (72°F) during initial curing.
C. Materials
GROB Aircraft SE has Grob Standards (GS) for the materials used in the G 120TP-A. You must use only repair
materials that meet the related Grob Standard. Refer to Chapter 51-30 of this manual for the detailed list of
materials.
(1) Resin Systems
Each resin system has a GS number. The resin system has two or more components:
- An epoxy resin (usually epoxy). This has its own GS number.
- An amine hardener. This has its own GS number.
The hardener is mixed with the resin. Measure the quantities of resin and hardener accurately (± 0.5% by
weight). Mix both constituents thoroughly before laminating or adding fillers and other additives. Resin and
hardener react together. This is called ‘Curing’.
The cured system forms a hard, strong plastic.
Curing starts when you mix the resin and hardener. You can use the mixture for a repair for a short time.
This is the ‘work life’ or ‘pot life’. This is typically between a few minutes and 3 hours.
The parameters influencing the curing time are:
- The type of resin
- The type of hardener
- The temperature
- The humidity
- The volume of the mixture.
Curing makes heat. If you mix too much resin and hardener with a short pot life, the mixture can become
very hot within a few minutes.
Post-curing at higher temperatures completes the laminating. It is necessary to obtain the required strength
and stiffness of the composite structure.
Post-curing processes take several hours.
You must always use the correct fabric for the repair. In case of doubt refer to GROB for a Repair Instruction
with a lay-up drawing of the repair area. The lay-up drawing will tell you:
- The number of fabric layers
- The GS number of the fabrics (The Grob Standard defines i.a. the fiber material, the weave
and the areal weight of the fabric.)
- The fiber orientations
- The correct position and dimension of the layers.
Make sure that the fiber strands of each fabric layer point in the direction designated by the lay-up drawing.
This gives the required strength and stiffness to the laminate.
Use sharp scissors when cutting the fabrics to size. Make sure that all fiber strands remain unbroken. The
fabric must be free of any damage or contamination.
You must always use the correct sandwich core for the repair. In case of doubt refer to Grob for a Repair
Instruction with a description of the core material to use. The description tells you:
- The GS or LN number of the core material (The Grob Standard defines the type of rigid foam
core and its density. The LN number gives the type of honeycomb core, its density and its cell
width.)
- The thickness of the sandwich core
- The correct orientation of honeycomb cores.
Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich core to size. Make sure that the edges are neatly prepared and the
core material is not damaged or contaminated.
Filler materials in resin systems are used for three main reasons:
- To thicken the resin system so that it can fill small gaps in bonded joints between composite
parts and components (Use cotton flocks for this purpose. Ask GROB for advice in the case of
larger gaps. You will be told the adequate mixing ratio of resin system and cotton flocks.
Sometimes, the addition of a thixotropic agent (i.e. aerosil) will be necessary. Request GROB
for information.)
- To bond the laminate facings to the sandwich core, and to fill the spaces around the edges of
core material (Use microballoons for this purpose.)
- Where filling is needed to restore the aerodynamic shape after the structure has been repaired.
Use a thixotropic agent (i.e. aerosil) for this purpose.
All filler materials have their own GS numbers. The Grob Standards specify the approved filler materials.
(5) Peelply
Use peelply to cover the top layer of fabric in a repair where further bonding or painting will occur after
curing. When you remove the peelply after the curing procedure, you can bond other laminate layers and
components or apply the paint system without grinding (damaging) the repaired surface.
Only use approved peelply. The related GS number is given in Chapter 51-30.
A high solid PUR-acrylic paint system protects the entire composite structure of the G 120TP-A. Refer to
Chapter 51-00 for a description of the three-part system. The GS numbers of the constituents are given in
Chapter 51-30.
Make sure that at least the conductive filler and the top-coat are applied to the repair areas which affect the
outer surface of the airframe. The paint system can be applied with a brush, a roller or a spray-gun.
Example: The GS-number GS510020-12 is specified as epoxy resin system for structural applications:
EPL20 + EK960.
B. General
This section tells you how to repair class 2 thru 4 damage to the composite structure. You must ask GROB for
a repair scheme class 1 damage.
Inspect the damaged area. Look specially at the adjacent surfaces. Damage can go a long distance under the
surface. Use the techniques given in Chapter 51-10.
Take care to do the repair correctly. The airframe carries stresses. Failure of the structure can cause an accident.
When using resin:
- Measure the quantities of resin and hardener accurately (± 0.5% by weight)
- Use clean containers
- The weight ratio of resin to fabric must be approximately 50 : 50 for CFRP and 40:60 for GFRP
- Lightly grind the repair area and remove the abrasive dust immediately before applying the wet
laminate. (This makes sure that the area is clean.)
- Figure 1 shows the curing cycle for the resin systems GS510020-12 or GS510020-13.
- Raise the air temperature to 60 °C (140 °F) in 2 hours
- Keep the air temperature at 60 °C (140 °F) for a further 8 hours
- If you must grind the repair, allow it to cool (After further laminating or bonding, repeat the first
step of the curing cycle at 60 °C (140 °F). Then continue the curing cycle.)
- Raise the air temperature to 80 °C (176 °F) in 3 hours.
- Keep the air temperature at 80 °C (176 °F) for a further 15 hours.
- Allow the repair to cool to room temperature.

GS510022-14
Mixing ratio: Resin GS510020-1 100 parts by weight
Hardener GS510022-3 27 parts by weight
Alternative hardener GS510022-4 29 parts by weight
Initial cure 24 hours at 20 ºC - 25 ºC (24 hours at
68 ºF - 77º F)
Post cure 15 hours at 60 ºC (15 hours at 140 ºF) heating-up rate: 20 °C/hr
(68 °F/hr)
Pot life 10 - 15 minutes
Note These systems have a short pot life. After 15 minutes, the reaction temperature increases very quickly.
WARNING: DO NOT MIX MORE RESIN THAN YOU CAN USE WITHIN THE POT LIFE. THE
TEMPERATURE OF LARGER QUANTITIES OF RESIN REMAINING IN THE POT AFTER 15
MINUTES CAN BE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE INJURY.
C. Center-Of-Gravity Limits
Aircraft repair can change the weight and the center-of-gravity position. Repairs at a larger distance from the
center-of-gravity have a larger effect. You must weigh the aircraft after a large repair. And you must calculate
the center-of-gravity (refer to Chapter 08-00).
E. Drain/Vent Holes
Keep all drain and vent holes in the airframe open. If you close a drain hole with a repair, then you must make
a new hole in the same position after the repair is complete. Chapter 12-20 gives the drain hole locations.

1 PROCEDURE
A. General
This section gives the standard mechanical procedures for repair of corrosion to aluminum–based alloys
and ferrous materials.
Note Do not damage the protective coating more than is necessary during the maintenance procedure.
WARNING DO NOT GET PAINT REMOVER ON YOU. PAINT REMOVER CAN CAUSE
DISEASE.
(1) Procedure
(a) Remove the component from the aircraft or mask the surrounding airframe as required.
(b) Remove loose paint and loose corrosion with stiff nylon bristle brush - 1” to 4” . Dispose of
dust particles and other removal debris with a vacuum cleaner.
(c) Remove adjacent paint as required with universal paint remover. Use a non-metallic scraper
or non-woven industrial abrasive pads to help loosen the paint. Feather the edge of the good
paint (or other protective treatments) with abrasive paper. Clean the area with cellulose
thinner. Dry the area with absorbent paper.
(d) Remove the corrosion with a combination of aluminum wool (4 & 6 Grades), waterproof
abrasive paper (grit 400 ) and non-woven industrial abrasive pads.
Use the lowest grade first until a smooth surface is achieved. On plate components leave
a saucer – shaped depression if possible when removing pitting. Blend any ridges.
(e) Degrease the stripped area using a stiff nylon bristle brush - 1” to 4” with cellulose thinner.
(f) Examine the area. Make sure that no sign of pitting or intergranular corrosion remain and
that no cracks go undetected. Where a crack is suspected, use a fluorescent dye-penetrant
crack detector.
(g)
Note Refer to the related chapter in this manual. If no specific values exist, the maximum
loss of the material thickness is 5 %. Maximum area of corrosion 20 % of the
component surface area.
Measure thickness of remaining material. Make sure that the removal limits have not been
exceeded. If the limits have been exceeded, repair by replacement.
(h) Apply paint remover by brush and leave for 20 minutes. Clean part by washing with clean
water until all traces of contaminants have been removed. Let part dry completely.
(i)
Note Where the component does not have a painted finish, protect or remove steel
components. Apply Alocrom 1200, cromat conversion coating to the complete
component.
Apply Alocrom 1200, cromat conversion coating solution by brush. Leave until a “Golden
Yellow” film is formed on the metal. Remove any excess Alocrom 1200, cromat conversion
coating with a brush and clean water. Dry the treated area with absorbent paper. This will
take between 1 and 5 minutes.
WARNING DO NOT GET ALOCROM 1200 ON YOU. ALOCROM 1200 CAN CAUSE
DISEASE.
(j) Where the component does not have a painted finish, apply 2-part primer to the complete
component:

procedure.
(a) Remove the component from the aircraft or mask the surrounding airframe as required.
(b) Remove loose paint and loose corrosion with steel wool. Dispose of dust particles and other
removal debris with a vacuum cleaner.
(c) Remove adjacent paint as required with universal paint remover. Use a non-metallic scraper
or non-woven industrial abrasive pads to help loosen the paint. Feather the edge of the good
paint (or other protective treatments) with abrasive paper. Clean the area with cellulose
thinner. Dry the area with absorbent paper.
Note If removal of the corrosion by mechanical means is not practical, apply rust removing
jelly by brush and leave for ½ hour. Then wash off with clean water and dry
thoroughly with absorbent paper.
(d) Remove the corrosion with a combination of steel wool, waterproof abrasive paper (grit
400 ) and non-woven industrial abrasive pads.
Note Use the lowest grade first until a smooth surface is achieved. On plate components
leave a saucer – shaped depression if possible when removing pitting. Blend any
ridges.
(e) Degrease the stripped area using a stiff nylon bristle brush - 1” to 4” with cellulose thinner.
(f) Examine the area. Make sure that no signs of pitting remain and that no cracks go
undetected. Where a crack is suspected, use a fluorescent dye-penetrant crack detector.
(g) Measure thickness of remaining material. Make sure that the removal limits have not been
exceeded. If the limits have been exceeded, repair by replacement.
Note Refer to the related chapter in this manual. If no specific values exist, the maximum
loss of the material thickness is 5%. Maximum area of corrosion 20% of the
component surface area.
(h) Apply paint remover by brush and leave for 20 minutes. Clean part by washing with clean
water until all traces of contaminants have been removed. Let part dry completely.

FASTENERS
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
The G 120TP-A has only 2 types of fastener. It has cam-lock quick-release fasteners for the engine cowlings.
And for other panels you often remove. It has screws for all other access panels.
Figure 1 shows the quick-release fastener. The fastener has 2 parts. It has an inner housing with a cam track
(1) . And it has an outer housing (2) .
The outer housing has a bolt (3) . The bolt has a T-shaped tail. A retaining ring (4) holds the bolts into the outer
housing. And a spring pushes the bolt out from the housing.
Rivets (5) attach the inner housing to the structure.
The T-shaped head of the bolt goes through a slot in the inner housing. When you turn the bolt clockwise 90° it
engages the cam track in the inner housing. And the 2 parts are held together.
There are different length fasteners. Short fasteners attach thin panels. And long fasteners attach thick panels.
Not all aircrafts have the same length of fastener for the same position. This is because composite components
can be different.
If you replace a fastener, make sure that the new fastener is the correct length.

CANOPY
CANOPY
GENERAL
A. General
The G 120TP-A has a one-piece sliding-canopy. It has a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) canopy frame. The canopy
has 2 transparent acrylic panels or a single transparent acrylic panel (OPTION 69).
The canopy has two external hand-grips. One is attached to each side at the rear of the canopy frame. The
canopy also has an internal hand grip at the front of the canopy frame on each side.
The canopy has a security lock. You operate the security lock with a key. The security lock gives security when
you park the aircraft.
The frame has a tubular rubber seal. The seal goes round the end of the frame. When you close the canopy, the
seal touches a soft rubber seal which goes around the cockpit.
The canopy moves on three guide-rails. Two longitudinal guide-rails attach to the sides of the cockpit. One
longitudinal guide-rail attaches to the top of the fuselage behind the cockpit.
Locating pins attach to the bottom of the canopy frame on each side at the rear. They engage with holes at the
rear of the side rails. Two additional locating pins on each side at the front, engage with bushes at the bottom of
the windscreen arch.
A locking system (the Canopy Lock) locks the canopy to the frame of the windshield. The canopy lock must be
returned to Grob for repair.
Guide blocks on each side of the canopy frame and at the rear engage with the three tracks. A pin holds each
side guide block in position in the canopy.
The canopy has an emergency jettison system. Two cables connect the internal handle to the pins on each side
guide block. A red-painted security handle blocks the jettison action.
Refer to Flight Compartment Windows General for data about the canopy windows.
CANOPY
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the canopy.
Note If there are both side (left and right) components, only the left item is shown.
The canopy has a FRP frame (1) . Two transparent acrylic windows or a single piece transparent acrylic window
(Option 69) are bond to the frame.
The frame has a tubular rubber seal (2) . The seal goes round the edge of the frame.
The frame has three guide blocks. One guide block attaches to the front left of the canopy (3) . One attaches to
the front right of the canopy. And one attaches to the center rear of the canopy (4) .
Each front guide-block is a one-piece, machined component. The bottom part has a channel that runs on the
related guide rail. The top of the guide block has a large vertical spigot. A guide bracket in the canopy frame
holds the vertical spigot. The spigot has a horizontal hole for a jettison pin.
Two screws hold each guide bracket in the canopy frame. The spigot of the guide-block passes up through the
guide bracket. A special thick washer on top of the guide bracket makes a bearing surface for the jettison pin.
The jettison pin goes through the hole in the spigot. Thin copper wire locks the jettison pin in place.
The rear guide block is also a machined channel section. The sliding surfaces have a PTFE coating. Two screws
attach a small block (counter-bearing) and an angle bracket with a rubber buffer stop. When installed on the
aircraft, the counter-bearing goes under the rear guide rail. It prevents the block lifting off the rail.
A bolt through the rear guide block engages with a spherical bearing in the canopy frame. A nut and washer
holds the assembly in position. A flanged bracket holds the spherical bearing. Two screws attach the bracket to
the frame. A circlip holds the spherical bearing in the bracket.
The front guide blocks move on carbon fiber guide rails (5) . Three counter-sunk screws attach each guide rail
to the side of the cockpit. A tapered block between each rail and the fuselage keeps the rails parallel. The screw
heads are ‘filled’. The cockpit trim also covers the screws.
The rear guide block moves on a flat guide rail (6) . The rear guide rail attaches to the top of the rear fuselage.
A stop (7) attaches to the aft end of the rear guide rail. When the canopy is fully open, the rubber buffer hits the
stop on the rear rail. You can remove the rear stop to remove the canopy.
The canopy frame has 2 rear locating pins. One pin attaches at the rear on the left (8) and 1 pin attaches at the
rear on the right. When the canopy closes, the pins engage with holes in locating blocks (9) behind the guide
rails on the fuselage. Two internal-hexagon bolts attach each locating pin to the underside of the canopy frame.
Shim plates (1 mm and 2 mm) are available to align the locating pins with the locating blocks. You can use a
maximum thickness of 4 mm. If you use more than 2 mm of shim, you can use a 20 mm bolt in place of the usual
16 mm bolt.
The frame has 2 front locating pins. One pin attaches at the front on the left (10) and 1 pin attaches at the front
on the right. When the canopy closes, the pins engage with locating bushes on the fuselage arch. Two screws
hold each bush in position in the arch.
An external panel at the centre, rear of the canopy gives access to the rear guide block attaching parts.
The canopy has a main lock which holds the canopy closed in flight (11) .
Figure 2 shows the canopy lock. The lock has an external handle (20) and an internal handle (21) . Levers
connect the handles to a hook (22) . When the canopy closes, the hook engages with a rod (23) on the
windscreen arch.
The canopy has an emergency jettison system. The red emergency-handle (24) makes a stop for the sliding
carriage (25) . The front of the sliding carriage has a stop for the internal handle. The stop prevents the handle
moving aft into the emergency-jettison operating-range. If you remove the red emergency-handle, the internal
handle can move the sliding carriage forward.
The sliding carriage connects to 2 flexible cables (27) . The cables connects to the jettison pins (28) . The pins
hold the front guide blocks (3) to the canopy.
A two-piece plastic cover protects the canopy lock mechanism. Screws hold the cover in position.
The canopy has a security lock (12) installed in the bottom edge at the rear on the left side. You operate the
security lock with a key. The security lock gives security when you park the aircraft.
B. Operation
You can open and close the canopy by hand from internally and externally.
The canopy can move on the guide rails. The stop (7) keeps the canopy on the rails.
With the canopy lock set to open, the hook (22) is down. It does not engage the rod (23) .
The canopy has these different positions as follows:
- Canopy Closed
These actions lock the canopy closed:
- Move the canopy fully forward.
- Move the lock handle to the CLOSED position. (Move the external handle (20) fully down. Or
move the internal handle (21) fully forward and up).
- The hook (22) moves up to engage the rod on the windshield arch (23) and then back. This
pulls the canopy against the seals (2) .
- The final movement of the handle makes an ‘over-centre’ lock. The front of the canopy frame
touches a hard rubber buffer on the windshield arch.
- Canopy Open
These actions unlock the canopy:
• Move the lock handle to the OPEN position. (Move the external handle (20) fully up. Or move
the internal handle (21) fully down).
• The hook (22) moves forward and then down. This lets the canopy move back from the seals
(2) . It also disengages the hook from the rod (23) .
- Canopy Jettison
These actions jettison the canopy:
• Pull the red handle (24) fully down. The sliding carriage can now move forward.
• Pull the internal handle for the canopy lock (21) fully aft. The first movement releases the hook
(22) . More movement moves the sliding carriage (25) forward.
• The sliding carriage (25) pulls the flexible cables (27) .
• The flexible cables pull the pins (28) from the guide blocks (3) .
• The front of the canopy can move up. The front guide blocks remain on the rails.
• The canopy lifts clear of the aircraft. The rear guide block (4) breaks away from the rear guide
rail.

FUSELAGE STRUCTURE
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the fuselage shells.
The fuselage has 2 FRP shells. A right shell (1) and a left shell (2) . The 2 shells are bonded together with
epoxy resin.
Each shell has many layers of glass or carbon-fibre fabric. Some layers cover the whole shell. Some give more
strength to a small area. For example to give more strength round the edge of the cockpit.
An FRP frame (3) bonds to the inside of each shell at the cockpit edge. A beam (4) holds the instrument-panel.
Bolts attach the beam to the FRP frame on each side of the cockpit. Two rods connect the bottom of the beam
to the nose landing-gear compartment
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds each component to the fuselage shell and to the other components.
- The firewall bulkhead has FRP skins and a rigid PVC foam core.
- The engine mounting brackets are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The nose landing gear compartment (rear) is a rigid FRP moulding
The front main-frame (31) holds the rear end of the front floor structure. Two box members (32) hold the
rudder-pedal adjuster assembly. They also give strength to the front main-frame and to the front seat-frame
(33) .
The middle main-frame (34) makes the front of the box for the wing main-spar. The middle seat-frame
(35) makes the rear of the main-spar box. It also makes the front of the compartment for the main landing-
gear.
Control webs (36) have the mountings for the flight controls. They also give strength to the seat frames.
The main frames and seat frames hold the seat rails (37) .
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds each component to the fuselage shell and to the other components.
- Theses items have FRP skins and a honeycomb core:
• The front main-frame.
• The front seat-frame.
• The middle main-frame.
• The middle seat-frame.
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds each component to the fuselage shell and to the other components.
- The frames have FRP skins and a honeycomb core.
- The diagonal webs have FRP skins and a honeycomb core.
- All other webs are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The rear cockpit bulkhead is a rigid FRP moulding.
The rear fuselage has frames to make the FRP shell rigid. It also has a main longitudinal web.
The forward ring-frame (51) is in two parts. It has a left part and a right part. It attaches to the rear fuselage
shells.
The aft ring-frame (52) also has two parts. It attaches to the rear fuselage shells. The half-frames make
the rear fuselage rigid. Two cross members (53) give strength to the aft end of the rear fuselage.
The horizontal stabilizer cut-out has a front frame (54) and a floor member (55) . The floor member has
two access panels.
The space behind the rear cockpit bulkhead makes the rear equipment compartment. The floor panel (56)
makes the floor of the avionics-compartment. The frame (57) makes the aft face of the rear equipment
compartment.
The main longitudinal web (58) goes along the center of the rear fuselage. The ring frames do not attach
to the main longitudinal web.
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds each component to the fuselage shell and to the other components.
- Ring-frames are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The cross members are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The horizontal stabilizer cut-out front frame and floor member are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The floor panel of the equipment compartment has FRP skins and a honeycomb core.
- The main longitudinal web has FRP skins and a honeycomb core.
The vertical-stabilizer is integral with the rear fuselage. It has spars and ribs.
The rear fuselage has a cut-out for the horizontal stabilizer. The rear stabilizer-frame (61) is also the front
spar (62) of the vertical-stabilizer.
The vertical-stabilizer has a rear spar (63) . The rear spar goes from the bottom of the fuselage to the top
of the stabilizer. The bottom of the rear spar has the bottom hinge for the rudder. The middle hinge for the
rudder attaches half way up the spar. The top hinge for the rudder attaches near the top of the spar.
The rib (64) closes the bottom of the vertical-stabilizer at the front. It makes the top of the horizontal
stabilizer cut-out. The rib (65) goes between the vertical-stabilizer front spar and the vertical-stabilizer rear
spar.
The small rib (66) closes the top of the vertical-stabilizer. The small rib connects to the leading edge spar
(63) and the rear spar (64) . The small rib (66) also holds the top bearing for the rudder.
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds each component to the fuselage shell and to the other components.
- The rear stabilizer-frame has FRP skins with rigid FRP inserts. The top part (the vertical-
stabilizer front spar) has FRP skins with a rigid PVC foam core.
- The vertical-stabilizer rear spar is a rigid FRP moulding. It has a rigid FRP insert at the bottom.
- The vertical-stabilizer ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.

ELEVATOR AND TRIM/SERVO TAB
A. General
The G 120TP-A has the usual elevator. The elevator has 2 parts. The left elevator attaches to the left trailing
edge of the horizontal stabilizer. And the right elevator attaches to the right trailing edge of the horizontal
stabilizer. Both elevators have a trim/servo tab.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the left elevator.
The right elevator is a mirror-image of the left elevator. Each elevator has these structural components.
(1) Shells
Each elevator has a top FRP shell (1) and a bottom FRP shell (2) . Each shell has many layers of fabric
and a rigid PVC foam core. The fabric makes the inner and outer skins of each shell. The skins bond to the
core. Some layers of fabric go over the complete elevator. And some layers go over a small area for more
strength.
The leading edge spar (3) has 3 mounting pads for hinge brackets (8) . Thick pieces of rigid FRP make
the mounting pads. Rivets attach an anchor nut plate to the rear face of the spar behind each mounting
pad. Bolts attach the hinge brackets to the leading edge spar. Small removable-panels cover the hinges.
Each elevator has an inner rib (4) . The rib is outboard of the root. A cranked rib (5) gives strength to the
inboard, rear part of each shell. A short outer rib (6) closes the outer end of each elevator.
Both elevators have a sub-spar (7) for the trim/servo tab. The sub-spar has a small rib at the outboard
end. The sub-spar has hinges for the trim/servo tab.
A metal torque-tube (9) moves each elevator. The tube has a flange on the outboard end which bolts to
the elevator inner rib. The inner rib has an anchor nut aft of the spar. Forward of the spar a metal plate with
three holes aligns with the torque-tube mounting holes in the rib. The metal plate is part of the lightning
protection system.
A ballast-unit (10) holds the torque-tube against the inner rib. A small bolt holds the top, front hole of the
torque-tube to the inner rib. Three larger bolts attach the ballast-unit and torque tube to the inner rib.
The inboard end of the torque-tube also has a flange. The flange attaches to the elevator actuator lever
and to the torsion tube of the opposite elevator.
Lead mass-balance weights (11) attach to the leading edge of each elevator. You can adjust the elevator
balance with weights of different mass. Refer to Control Surface Balancing General for the procedure to
adjust the mass balance. Refer to Dimensions and Areas General for control mass-balance values.
Each elevator has a trim\servo tab (12) . The trim/servo tab has FRP skins and a rigid foam core. Four
hinges bond to the top skin. Countersunk-screws attach two actuator levers to the trim/servo tab at the
inboard end. The screws go through a rigid FRP insert in the trim/servo tab.
(5) Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the elevators to each other and to the elevator shells.
- The leading edge spar is a rigid FRP moulding.
- All ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.
- The trailing edge spar for the trim/servo tab cut-out is a rigid FRP moulding.

WING STRUCTURE
DESCRIPTION
B. Wing Structure
(1) Description and Location - Forward Part of the Wing
Figure 2 shows the structure inside the front part of the wing.
The main spar (20) takes the structural loads. The spar has two spar caps (21) and a shear-web (22) .
The spar-caps go the full length of the spar assembly.
The root rib (23) is a rigid FRP moulding. The root rib attaches to the main spar. It has 3 mountings for
the bolts which attach the wing to the fuselage. The forward part of the root rib makes the inboard wall for
the fuel tank. And the spar web makes the rear wall of the fuel tank.
The leading edge has a tank spar (24) which makes the front face of the fuel tank. The tank spar attaches
to the root rib and to the outer tank rib (25) . The outer tank rib makes the outboard wall of the fuel tank.
A collector-tank rib (26) closes the inboard end of the tank. Refer to Chapter 28-10 for data about the
collector tank. A support rib (27) adds strength to the inboard part of the wing. An anti-surge rib (28)
prevents large quantities of fuel moving between the inner and outer parts of the tank.
Three middle tank-ribs (29) add strength between the main spar and the tank spar.
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the wing to each other and to the wing shells.
- The spar-caps are carbon-fiber rovings.
- The spar web has FRP skins and a PVC rigid foam core.
- The tank spar has FRP skins and a PVC rigid foam core.
- All other ribs and webs are rigid FRP mouldings.
Figure 3 shows the structure inside the aft part of the wing.
An inner trailing-edge spar (30) closes the trailing-edge of the wing in front of the flaps. The inner trailing-
edge spar attaches to the root rib (23) and to the middle trailing-edge rib (31) . The flap outer hinge-bracket
attaches to the middle trailing-edge rib.
An outer trailing-edge spar (32) closes the trailing-edge in front of the ailerons. The outer trailing-edge
spar attaches to the outer trailing-edge rib (31) and to the wing-tip rib (33) .
The main landing-gear attaches to the wing aft of the main spar (20) . A landing-gear rib (34) connects
the main spar to the inner trailing-edge spar. A landing-gear web (35) attaches to the inner side of the
landing-gear rib and to the root rib. The landing-gear web has the aft mounting for the main landing-gear.
A trailing-edge rib (36) attaches to the main spar and to the inner trailing-edge spar. A short rib (37)
makes the flap cut-out at the inner end. The flap inner hinge bracket attaches to it.
(4) Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the wing to each other and to the wing shells.
- All ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.
- Trailing-edge spars are rigid FRP mouldings with rigid FRP inserts.
- The main gear web is a rigid FRP moulding with rigid FRP inserts
(6) Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the wing to each other and to the wing shells.
- All ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.
- Ribs which hold bellcranks have rigid FRP inserts.
- The control rod guide-bush-blocks are rigid PVC foam with FRP skins
Both bushes go the full distance through the spar at the stub end. One bush (53) has a larger bore than
the other bush (54) . The bush (54) goes inside the bush (53) . The bushes transmit the loads from the
spar into the large pins.
Each large pin has a flange at one end. The flange has 2 flats which engage with the rear bush. It also has
a small end with a thread. A large washer with a recess (55) goes over the threaded end. And a
washer (56) with a stiff nut (57) holds the pin in position.
Both pins go through the stub-spars from the rear. The rear bushes in the rear (left) stub-spar have a slot
in the rear face. The flange on each main pin engages with the slot. The slot stops the pin from turning in
the bush.

FLAPS
FLAPS
GENERAL
A. General
The G 120TP-A has slotted flaps. The flaps attach to the inner trailing-edge of each wing. The top surface of the
wing makes a shroud over each flap.
This Section tells you about the flap structure. And it tells you how the flaps attach to the wing. Refer to Flaps
General Data for data about the flap control system
FLAPS
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the flap.
The flap has a top shell (1) and a bottom shell (2) . Each shell has many layers of fabric. And it has a rigid PVC
foam core. A leading-edge spar (3) joins the top and bottom shells near the front.
A rigid FRP rib (4) closes the inner end of the flap. An inner hinge-bracket (5) attaches to the inner rib. A rigid
FRP rib (6) closes the outer end of the flap. An outer hinge-bracket (7) attaches to the outer rib.
The flap has a rigid FRP rib (11) in the middle. The middle rib gives strength to the area where the middle hinge-
bracket (9) attaches. The middle hinge-bracket attaches to the bottom shell of the flap below the middle rib. It
has the connection (10) for the control rod which moves the flap.
A short distance inboard from the middle rib is the interconnect rib (8) . A bracket (12) for the interconnect
control rod (13) attaches to the leading-edge spar adjacent to the interconnect rib.
Each wing has three brackets below the wing. The brackets attach the flap hinges to the wing. The hinge bearings
are about 130 mm (5 in) below the wing. Bolts with washers and nuts (14) attach each flap hinge bracket to the
related wing hinge bracket.
B. Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the flap to each other and to the flap shells.
- Each shell has FRP skins and a rigid PVC foam core.
- The leading-edge spar is a rigid FRP moulding.
- The ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.
- Bolts with washers attach the hinge brackets to the end ribs.
- Counter-sunk bolts attach the middle hinge bracket to the bottom of the middle rib.
C. Operation
The hinge line for the flaps is about 130 mm (5 in) below the wing. When the flap moves to the down position, it
also moves aft. The movement aft increases the wing area.
When the flap is more than half way down, a slot opens between the flap and the top of the wing. The slot lets
the wing make more lift before the stall.

AILERONS AND TABS
A. General
The G 120TP-A has the usual ailerons. The ailerons attach to the outer trailing-edge spar of the wing. Both
ailerons have a mass balance. Refer to Ailerons and Tabs General Data for data about the aileron control system.
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the aileron structure.
Figure 2 shows the aileron Installation.
(1) Aileron Structure
Each aileron has an top FRP shell (1) and a bottom FRP shell (2) . Each shell has a rigid PVC foam core.
The shells bond together at the leading edge and at the trailing-edge.
Each aileron has a leading edge spar (3) . It also has a rib at the inboard end (4) and a rib at the outer
end (5) . Two middle ribs (6) give strength to the aileron behind the middle hinge. Four small ribs (7)
give strength to the leading edge near the cut-outs for the hinges.
Three hinges (8) attach to the leading edge spar. Rivets attach an anchor nut plate (9) to the aft face of
the spar behind each hinge. Two bolts attach each inner hinge and outer hinge to the aileron. Small panels
(10) below the leading edge of each aileron give access to each hinge.
The middle hinge has an actuator lever (11) . Four bolts attach the middle hinge to the spar.
Bolts attach mass balance weights (12) to the leading edge of the aileron.
(2) Construction
Thick resin bonds all of the components in the aileron to each other and to the aileron shells.
- Each shell has FRP skins and a rigid PVC foam core.
- The leading-edge spar is a rigid FRP moulding.
- The ribs are rigid FRP mouldings.
Each aileron has a flexible seal (20) than joints the leading-edge of the aileron to the trailing-edge spar of
the wing. Bolts and washers (21) with clamping-strips attach the seal to the rear spar. The seal prevents
air flow through the space between the aileron and the wing.
Three hinge-bolts attach each aileron to the wing. A flanged bush (22) bonds to the inboard face middle
hinge. A parallel bush (23) can move laterally in the other face of the hinge. The washer and nut (24) on
the hinge bolt (25) hold the parallel bush and the hinge bearing against the flanged bush. The aileron
cannot move laterally.
Each inner and outer hinge-bolt (26) has two parallel bushes (27) which can move laterally in the hinges.
A washer and nut (28) on each hinge bolt hold this assembly together. The parallel bushes let the hinges
move a small distance inboard or outboard. This prevents side-loads on the inner and outer bearings.
A bolt, washer and nut (29) attach the aileron rod to the actuator lever of the middle hinge.

GENERAL DATA
A. General
This Chapter tells you about the propeller installed on the G 120TP-A.
It tells you also about the operation of the propeller.
Propeller Assembly General Data tells you how to remove and install the propeller.
Refer to Engine Power Control General Data for cockpit power controls related to the propeller.
Refer to the Rolls Royce Operation and Maintenance Manual Publication Ref CSP21008, latest revision, for all

Refer to the propeller manufacturer’s handbook ATA 61-06-10 (E-610) for other data of the propeller.
PROPELLER
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the propeller installation.
The G 120TP-A has a MTV-5-1-D-C-F-R(A)/CFR210-56 propeller. The manufacturer of the propeller is mt-
propeller.
The propeller has 5 natural composite blades (1) . The propeller has a metal hub (2) . The blades can turn in
the hub.
The rear part of the hub is a hydraulic cylinder (3) . A piston in the hydraulic cylinder moves the blades.
Six self-locking nuts attach the propeller to the engine crankshaft.
A spinner back-plate (4) attaches to the propeller hub. A composite spinner (5) attaches to the back-plate.
A flange with a pulley (6) attaches to the back of the hub. The pulley operates the optional air-conditioning
compressor.
The engine has a combined governor which controls propeller RPM. The governor controls the propeller pitch
hydraulically. An internal oil-way carries engine oil from the governor to the engine propeller shaft. And the hollow
propeller shaft supplies the oil to the propeller.
The G 120TP-A has a propeller which will go to coarse pitch if the governor fails. This prevents the engine from
over-speeding during aerobatics when the oil supply to the governor fails for a short time.
The propeller is also able to reverse and feather.

PROPELLER ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION
A. Description
Figure 1 shows the propeller.
The G 120TP-A has a MTV-5-1-D-C-F-R(A)/CFR210-56 propeller. The manufacturer of the propeller is mt-
propeller.
The propeller has 5 natural composite blades (1) . And it has an aluminum alloy hub (2) with an integral hydraulic
cylinder (3) . An internal hydraulic piston changes the blade angle.
A spinner back-plate (4) attaches to the back of the hub. The back-plate holds the spinner (5) . Large studs
(6) with self-locking nuts attach the propeller to the engine drive flange.
Each blade has a counter weight (7) . The counter weight is part of the blade at the blade root.
The propeller has a fine pitch-stop (8) . You can adjust the fine pitch stop.
A long rod (the BETA rod) holds the fine pitch stop. It passes through the centre of the propeller to a hydraulic
stop controlled by the BETA control valve. When the BETA control valve releases the stop, the BETA rod can
move further forward. This lets the propeller move into the reverse pitch range (BETA range). The new position
of the stop forms the reverse pitch stop.
The propeller has a coarse pitch (feather) stop (9) . Two large nuts form the coarse pitch stop. You can adjust
the coarse pitch stop.
Screws (10) fix the spinner (5) at the back plate (4) . The spinner has a front mounting ring (11) . The bolts
for the hub front cover (3) fix the front mounting ring. It aligns the spinner with the propeller.
A flange with a pulley attaches to the back of the hub. The pulley operates the air-conditioning compressor. The
flange is a part manufactured by GROB.

PROPELLER ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
A. Operation
Refer to Figure 2.
When the propeller is operating, the centrifugal twisting moment causes the counterweights (7) to turn the
blades to coarse pitch. Hydraulic pressure in the cylinder (3) acts on a piston. The piston moves the blades
towards fine pitch.
If the hydraulic pressure from the governor fails (for example during aerobatics movements) the counterweights
(7) turn the blades to coarse pitch. This prevents the engine from overspeeding.

CAUTION YOU MUST ADD THE SAFETY TORQUE (OR THE FRICTION TORQUE) TO THE
FOLLOWING VALUES FOR SELF-LOCKING NUTS (OR BOLTS WITH SHAFT
FRICTION).
1 PROCEDURE
A. General
The following torque values are given for bolts, nuts, screws and fittings used on Rolls-Royce engine or
in relation to it.
Refer to the following tables for specific torque values:
- Table 1 gives the torque values for UNC and UNF bolts and nuts.
- Table 2 gives the torque values for steel couplings and steel fittings.
- Table 3 gives the torque values for airframe provided fittings installed into the engine (airframe –
engine interface connections).
- Table 4 gives the special torque values for the engine.
- Table 5 gives the special torque values for the propeller.
Refer to Standard Practices - Airframe General for the torque values for standard threaded bolts, nuts
and screws.
(1) Hardware
When you use self-locking nuts, add the safety torque (friction torque or braking torque) to the
table values. Set this value on the dial of the torque meter before you tighten the nut.
Self-locking nuts can be reused if they have a minimum prevailing torque within the limits given in
the Rolls-Royce OMM, latest revision.
If a bolt has an additional torque due to shaft friction, add this torque value to the table value. Set
this calculated value on the dial of the torque meter before you tighten the bolt.
When screws are installed with nuts, the torque for the screws shall apply.
Tighten bolts, nuts, screws and fittings without the use of a thread lubricant unless one is specified.
When tightening or loosening coupling nuts, make sure the nipple does not turn on the seat of the
matting fitting.
Apply torque paint across the fitting threads after tightening them.
When you use an extension wrench that would change the effective length of the torque wrench,
it is necessary to calculate the applied torque from the required torque, refer to Rolls-Royce OMM,
latest revision.
(2) Lockwire
Use 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) diameter stainless steel lockwire, MS20995–C20 where lockwire size is
not specified.
