TIME LIMITS
1. General
The time limits given in this section are based on average usage of the aircraft and average
environmental conditions.
The time limits given are not a guarantee that the item will reach the time without malfunction as the
base factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. This is specially applicable to aircraft that are
operated in very hot and humid climates, or very cold and damp climates, or salt-laden atmospheres,
etc.
The date of manufacture of the aircraft (given on the aircraft data plate) is used as the basis for all
time limited items listed in this section.
The subsequent monitoring procedure for all the calendar time limited items after their initial
replacement or inspection, will be in elapsed time or installed time. This is given with each component
interval in sections 05-10-10 and 05-10-20.
Installed time is the time interval since the installation of the component on the aircraft.
For the calendar based time limited items, the inspection requirement is to be done no later than the
last day of the month of the calendar interval given. This is also applicable to all the subsequent
calendar time limited inspection requirements.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to make sure that the times are monitored correctly.
This subject gives a recommended list of all components which have an overhaul life or a maximum life
limit. The time limits for the components are based on flying hours, calendar time or number of flights.
The first overhaul or replacement of a component must be done not later than the stated time limit (the
permissible tolerances given in 05-00-00 are applicable). The condition of the component can be used
as a criterion (to calculate subsequent time limits applicable to the individual aircraft or fleet operation) if
the operator has an approved condition-monitoring system.
• Overhaul (disassembly, inspection, assembly and test) of the component in accordance with the
applicable Component Maintenance Manual (CMM)
• Replacement with components purchased from Pilatus Aircraft Limited (items that can be
overhauled can be returned to Pilatus for exchange).
Compliance with one of these two options is at the discretion of the maintenance center responsible for
the work related to the time limit requirement.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Components not listed as lifed or to be overhauled do not have a specified life. These components
need only be replaced when their condition shows that replacement is necessary.
This subject gives a list of the items that must have an inspection and / or test at intervals that are
based on flying hours, calendar time or the number of flights. To give the best utilization, each item
listed in this subject is given an individual optimized periodicity. For this reason these items are listed
separately from the scheduled Inspection Requirements given in section 05-20-00. When a scheduled
inspection is due, check to see if there are Time Limited Maintenance Requirements due at the same
time.

1. Inspection Requirements
As required by FAR Part 91, the aircraft must have a complete Annual Inspection each 12 calendar
months of operation.
The inspection intervals are based on normal usage of the aircraft under average environmental
conditions. Aircraft operated in very hot and humid climates, or very cold and damp climates, or
salt-laden atmospheres, may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and lubrication. Under
these adverse conditions the 100 Hour Inspection should be done in compliance with the inspection
sheets at a more frequent interval until the owner or operator can set his own inspection interval based
on field experience.
The owner or operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an airworthy condition. This
includes compliance with Airworthiness Directives and any additional maintenance requirements from
the Time Limits section of this chapter. It is further the responsibility of the owner or operator to make
sure that the aircraft is inspected in accordance with the inspection sheets.
The aircraft maintenance cycle is completed each 7000 flying hours, or 14 years if this occurs first.
The 100 Hour Inspection must be done each 100 flying hours, or each year if this occurs first.
• Annual Inspection
Aircraft operated under civil regulations must have an Annual Inspection each 12 months.
• Partial Overhaul
A Partial Overhaul must be done when or before the aircraft completes 3500 flying hours, or at 7
years if this occurs first.
• Complete Overhaul
A Complete Overhaul must be done when or before the aircraft completes 7000 flying hours, or
at 14 years if this occurs first.
When a Complete Overhaul is done the aircraft maintenance cycle starts again.

4. Inspection Sheets
The inspection sheets list the maintenance items for inspection and state the level of inspection
required. The sheets have been prepared to assist the owner or operator in meeting the foregoing
responsibilities. They include, together with the inspection requirements, cross references to the
maintenance procedures which are necessary to do the inspections.
The inspection sheets are not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such sheets can replace the good
judgement of a qualified mechanic in the performance of his duties. As the one primarily responsible for

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
This topic contains information relating to lifting and lowering the aircraft with hydraulic jacks, lifting the
aircraft with a sling, and shoring the aircraft for long term maintenance or storage.
2. Lifting
The aircraft has three jack points. Each jack point has a jack pad installed; two are located at
each fuselage wing strut end fitting and the other is located at the rear tie down point.
Hydraulic jacks are used to lift the aircraft at the main jack pads. An adjustable tail stand is used
to support the rear fuselage at the tail jack pad. When lifting the aircraft tail, two people are
required, one to lift and lower the aircraft tail, and the other to put the tail stand in position.
Lifting the aircraft with a sling is normally done to move the aircraft for crash recovery or, for quick
removal to clear a runway.
An aircraft lifting sling, specially designed for attachment to the two lifting points, is used to lift the
aircraft.
3. Shoring
During long term maintenance, change, repair or storage of the aircraft should be shored to give
additional support for a jacked aircraft.
Shoring equipment should consist of locally manufactured trestles made of steel, aluminium or heavy
timber. Profile boards must be put on top of these trestles. Surfaces which touch the aircraft structure
should be covered with heavy duty felt to prevent damage to the aircraft skin and paint finish.
The trestles must be shaped to make sure that the lifting equipment can be removed, installed and
operated without problems.

You can lift the complete aircraft with a lifting sling and a hoist or a mobile crane. Two tapped
holes are located on the top of the fuselage adjacent to the wing attachment fittings. A sling with
lifting lugs is then installed to lift the aircraft.
CAUTION: THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT MUST NOT BE MORE THAN THE
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY OF THE LIFTING SLING.
You can use the sling P/N 6690.0018.00 to lift an aircraft with a total weight not more than 1500
kg (3300 lb).
If the total weight of the aircraft is more than 1500 kg (3300 lb), you can use the sling P/N
110.85.06.118 which has a maximum load capacity of 1850 kg (4078 lb).
When you lift the aircraft it must remain in a level attitude. Ropes attached to the wing attachment
points and the fuselage tail permit the aircraft to be maneuvered in a stable attitude.
(1) Make sure that there are no obstructions around or above the aircraft.
(4) If necessary, install the control-surface gust-locks (Ref. 10-10-00, Page block 201).
(5) Make sure that all the doors are closed and that no equipment will become loose when
lifting the aircraft.

1. General
Shoring equipment is installed to make sure that the aircraft is well supported for long term storage,
major modification and repair.
Shoring equipment is used with jacking equipment. It should be shaped so that the jacking equipment
can be temporary removed, if required.
2. Shoring Equipment
Shoring equipment is not classified as special equipment and is therefore manufactured locally as
required. The materials from which the shoring equipment is manufactured depend upon what is
available locally. In general, steel, aluminium alloy or timber may be used providing that the strength
of the finished equipment is sufficient to take the weight of the aircraft, with a safety factor of five or
more.
A. Procedure
(2) Jack the aircraft (Ref. 07-10-00, Page Block 201) to a height which will permit the shoring
equipment to be positioned.
(3) Slowly open the jack hydraulic valves and slowly lower the aircraft on to the trestles. At
the same time lower the tail on to the rear trestle. Close the jack hydraulic valves.
(4) The aircraft weight should now rest completely on the jacks and trestles.

TYRES - SERVICING
2. Inflation
A. When tyres are initially inflated the following precautions are necessary:
(1) The tyre and wheel assembly must be put in a safety cage to prevent injury to the
operator.
(2) Tyres must be inflated slowly to prevent air being trapped between the tyre and the tube.
(4) Tyre pressures must be checked and monitored. The wheel assembly must be left for 12
hours and the pressure checked again.
(5) If a decrease in pressure is more than 10% the wheel assembly must be rejected.
3. Tyre Pressures
The values give are for aircraft in the loaded condition. If the aircraft is on jacks with no weight on the
wheels, the tire pressures must be reduced by 5%.

1. General
Locking devices must be installed to prevent fretting, distortion or displacement of the locked parts.
The locking devices used must be to the specification given by the aircraft manufacturer in this
maintenance manual.
A. General
Cotter pins must be a close fit in the bolt, stud or clevis pin. The legs of the cotter pin must be
bent and cut to prevent injury or pick up on clothes or cleaning cloth in accordance with:
The ends cut from the cotter pins must not be left in the aircraft.
After the legs are bent the cotter pin must be examined for cracks and cuts around the bends.
B. Version A
NOTE: This version can be used for all cotter pin sizes.
Put the cotter pin into position with the hole axis of the cotter pin head at 90° to the direction of
the bolt axis, so that the head can be inserted into the slot of the castellation.
Bend the top prong bent back over the end of the bolt approximately two thirds of the way across
the bolt end diameter.
Bend the bottom prong downwards onto one of the nut flats. Cut it shorter so it does not touch
the washer or surface of the part if necessary.
C. Version B
Put the cotter pin into position with the hole axis of the cotter pin head along the same direction
as the bolt axis.
Bend the prongs back outwards in opposite directions. The ends of the prongs must be a tight fit
and must not extend past the flanks. In necessary, bend them into the adjacent slots of the
castellated nut as an alternative.
Press the eyelet into the slot to fix it in position if there is too much movement.

(2) Make sure that the prongs of the cotter pin are long enough to cover 60° minimum.
(3) Make sure that the prongs of the cotter pin are shorter than the tangent line for clevis pins
with diameter more than or equal to 4 mm (0.157 in).
NOTE: The prongs of the cotter pin can be longer than the tangent line for clevis pins
with diameter less than 4 mm (0.157 in).
Locking plates are installed over the nut or bolt head and are held by a screw. The screw is locked by a
spring or shakeproof washer, by peening or with lockwire.
A. Spring Washers
Spring washers are usually installed with a plain washer between the spring washer and the
component. This prevents damage to the surface of the component or the protective finish.
B. Shakeproof Washers
You can only use shakeproof washers once. These washers are used as an alternative to spring
washers.
C. Tab Washers
You can only use a tab washer once. Tab washers are installed under the nut or bolt head. The
tabs on the washer are bent against the side of the nut or bolt head to prevent movement. The
tab that prevents movement of the nut or bolt head is to be bent first. After you bend the tabs,
examine the tab washer for signs of cracks.
After installation, you must examine circlips and locking rings to make sure that they are correctly
engaged into the groove in the component. It is recommended that you replace circlips and locking
rings with new items each time you remove them.
A. General
Do not overstress the lockwire or it can break during service due to vibration. Bend the ends of
the lockwire back so that they can not cause injury to personnel.
Safety the lockwire with the angle of approach of the lockwire not less than 45° to the rotational
axis of the component to be locked. The line of approach must be tangential to the parts.

Install locking tabs with the tab and the lockwire in line.
Do not use lockwire to lock emergency controls as the lockwire will prevent operation of the
control. Only indicator thread or special copper shear wire must be used.
Control cable turnbuckles must be safetied by the method shown. Before the turnbuckle is
safetied, a check must be done to make sure that the end fittings extend past the inspection hole
and are in safety. The lockwire must cross twice between the body of the turnbuckle and each
end fitting. The twisted ends must then be bent and pushed into the hole to prevent fouls.
The lockwire is inserted into the hole and a small tension force applied.
CAUTION: DO NOT MISTAKE LEFT HAND OR RIGHT HAND THREADS. THE TENSION OF
THE LOCKWIRE MUST BE APPLIED IN THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION TO
TIGHTEN THE FASTENER AND THUS LOCK IT IN POSITION. DAMAGE TO THE
AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR IF THE LOCKWIRE TENSION IS
APPLIED IN THE WRONG ROTATIONAL DIRECTION.
Install the lockwire to give tension in the rotational direction necessary to tighten the fastener.
This prevents fastener rotation in the direction to loosen it.
Care must be taken during installation of the lockwire into the fastener holes:
• Do not scratch the lockwire at the edges of the fastener holes as you push it through the
holes
• Do not bend the lockwire around sharp edges and corners.
NOTE: The double-twist method is the most common lockwire installation method.
For the double-twist method the lockwire is usually twisted with safetying pliers. When this is not
possible due to restricted access:
Make sure that the lockwire angle is not more than 60° when you use flat pliers or your hands.
Unless specifically instructed in the procedures of a specific chapter:
Safety the lockwire with an additional attachment point when the distance is more than:
Twist the lockwire in a clockwise direction. Change the direction when three fasteners are
safetied to prevent lockwire movement over the fastener head and tension loss.

LOCKWIRE ARE SHARP AND CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL IF THEY
ARE NOT BENT BACK.
Insert the top lockwire into the safety hole for the clockwise direction and the bottom lockwire for
the counter-clockwise direction. Twist the lockwire counter-clockwise at the lockwire end.
Apply the correct number of twists when you safety with lockwire in accordance with Table 201.
Use this method when only specifically instructed in the procedures of a specific chapter. When
you safety with the single lockwire method:
Safety the lockwire and twist it as shown in the example given (Ref. Fig. 206)
Safety the ends of the lockwire with the double-twist method (Ref. Step 6.B.).
Before you safety a turnbuckle you must do a check to make sure that the end fittings extend past the
inspection hole and are in safety.
All new cable turnbuckles are safetied using locking clips. Align the grooves in the turnbuckle barrel and
the terminal and insert the straight end of the locking clip into the hole. When the clip is fully inserted,
insert the hook into the hole in the turnbuckle barrel. The hook lip must engage on the edge of the
barrel to lock in position.
Older control cable turnbuckles that do not use locking clips must be safetied with lockwire by the
method shown in Figure 205. The lockwire must cross twice between the body of the turnbuckle and
each end fitting. The twisted ends must then be bent and pushed into the hole to prevent fouls.

1. General
2. Definition of Torque
Torque is the force that causes a movement around an axis. A torque is applied to nuts, bolts and other
fasteners to make sure they do not become loose or have too much stress. You use a torque wrench
with an applicable extension to apply the correct amount of torque to the fastener. In the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM) the torque is given in Newton meters (Nm) and pounds-force inches (lbf
in).
Torque = Force applied x Distance from axis to which the force is applied.
3. Standard Torque Tightening Procedures and Values (Ref. Table 201 thru Table 206)
Torque values for nuts, bolts and screws are given in the relevant procedure in this manual.
Unless otherwise specified in the relevant procedure, all torque figures are for dry threads (as received
condition).
If no torque figure is given in the relevant procedure, then the values given in Table 201 thru Table 206
must be used. These standard values are for dry threads (no lubricant, as supplied), lubricated (all
greases) and sealant.
Before you torque tighten a nut, bolt or screw, clean the threads and, if applicable, apply the lubricant
specified in the maintenance procedure.
When castellated nuts, which are safetied with cotter pins, are torque tightened, the cotter pin holes
must align when the nut is tightened between the minimum and maximum values. If the holes do not
align, the nut must be replaced, or the washer under the nut must be replaced with one of a different
thickness until the holes align. Do not loosen the nut to align the cotter pin holes.
The torque necessary to turn a self-locking nut is not included in the standard values given in the
tables. To correctly torque a self-locking nut use the following procedure:
• Find the torque necessary to turn the nut on the bolt approximately one turn before the nut makes
contact
• Add this torque figure to the values in the tables.
NOTE: If a self-locking nut can be turned by hand on the bolt, it must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
A. General
Set the torque wrench to the required figure and check the torque on a calibrated source before
use.
Clean the threads (if necessary) and, if applicable, apply the lubricant specified in the
maintenance procedure.
Hold the wrench handle at the center and apply torque slowly and evenly until the required value
is reached.
On castellated nuts which are safetied with a cotter pin, the cotter pin holes should align when
the nut is tightened between the minimum and maximum values. If the holes do not align, the nut
must be replaced, or the washer under the nut must be replaced with one of a different thickness
until the holes align. Do not loosen the nut to align the cotter pin holes.
If an extension or adapter is used with the torque wrench, the torque set on the wrench must be
calculated using this formula:
Where:
L is the distance from the center of the wrench handle to the center of the the wrench
drive.
For example: A fastener which requires a torque of 2,0 Nm, with a wrench distance of 450 mm
and an extension 50 mm long, will require a set torque of:

1. General
Rigid pipe assemblies are used in the aircraft systems to transfer oil, fuel or gas throughout the airframe
and engine. Pipes are connected to each other, system components or bulkheads with pipe fittings.
Standardized MS, Harrison, Permaswage or Swagelok screw connections are used.
A. Pipes
Pipes are straight or angled metallic tubes and are typically made from steel or aluminum. The
pipes have flared or flareless formed ends and a union nut at each end (Ref. Fig. 201).
The primary function of a pipe assembly is to transfer fluids or gases. Pipe assemblies supply
fluids or gases from the source (usually a pump or reservoir) to the point of application.
B. Fittings
Fittings are connectors that directly connect two or more pipes together or a pipe to a system
component/device. The pipe layout, the necessary function and the type of installation
determines the type of fitting used. The two main types of fittings used are:
• Direct pipe connections - Straight or T-connectors for the connection of two or more pipes
• Bulkhead connections - Straight or elbow connectors for the connection of pipes to
bulkheads/openings or system components.
The type of fitting and the type of installation determines if additional parts are necessary (Ref.
Fig. 205). The additional parts that are used with some types of fittings are:
• Support rings
• O-rings
• Washers
• Locknuts.
Refer to the Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) for the related parts for each type of fitting.

CAUTION: THE PIPE AND THE FITTING MUST MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION. DO
NOT PUT FORCE ON THE PIPE.
(c) Push the pipe with the clamping rings up to the stop of the fitting/manifold. Make
sure that the pipe fits without any tension in the fitting/manifold.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE UNION NUT(S) MORE THAN ONE SIXTH
OF A TURN. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO A CHECK THAT THE UNION
NUT IS OVER-TIGHTENED WITH THE SWAGELOK CONTROL GAGE.
(d) Use a wrench to hold the fitting/manifold and make sure that the pipe does not turn,
then use another wrench to tighten the union nut(s) as follows:
NOTE: This causes a resilient seal in the elastic region of the front of the
clamping ring.
(e) Use the swagelok control gage to do a check that the union nut is sufficiently
tightened. Put the thin end of the gage between the union nut and the fitting, if the
gage:
• Does not fit between the union nut and the fitting - The union nut is sufficiently
tightened (Ref. Fig. 203)
• Fits between the union nut and the fitting - The union nut is not sufficiently
tightened (Ref. Fig. 203).
(f) If the union nut is not sufficiently tightened, gradually tighten it until the control gage
does not fit between the union nut and the fitting.
NOTE: For installation at openings/bulkheads fittings, with two threaded sections on one side
are used.
(1) Obey any instructions for the application of sealant given in the specific chapter
procedure.
(2) Apply a thin layer of the applicable lubricant or PTFE tape to the threads of the fittings
(Ref. Para. 3.C.(1)).
(3) Put the fitting through the opening fully against the bulkhead.
(4) Loosely install the washer and the nut, on the second threaded section of the fitting, at the
other side of the bulkhead.

CORROSION - GENERAL
1. General
Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal because of a reaction with its environment. All types of
corrosion decrease the strength of the part. Corrosion must be found quickly and repaired immediately
or it will become worse and a failure of the part or structure can occur.
Further information about corrosion control is available in FAA Advisory Circular: AC 43-4A - Corrosion
Control tor Aircraft.
2. Types of Corrosion
Each type of corrosion looks different and has a different effect on the material. All corrosion causes the
properties of metal to change and can cause the failure of the part or structure to occur.
A. Uniform Corrosion
Uniform corrosion is caused by the direct effect of water, corrosive gas, salt spray or other
contaminants on a metal surface. On a polished surface the finish will at first become dull. If the
corrosion is not treated, the surface will become rough and will look frosted.
NOTE: It is important to remember that discoloration and dulling of the surface can also be
caused by high temperatures.
Galvanic corrosion occurs when different metal types join and there is an electrolyte, usually
water. This type of corrosion frequently occurs when a plated surface is damaged and the base
metal is exposed. The larger the potential difference between the surfaces the faster the
corrosion. Parts which have dissimilar metals are treated on assembly to prevent corrosion.
C. Pitting Corrosion
This type of corrosion is a local corrosion of cavities in the surface of the metal. Pitting corrosion
can be the start of intergranular and stress corrosion. The corrosion usually shows as blisters on
the surface finish. When the surface finish is removed pits can be seen on the surface of the
metal.
D. lntergranular Corrosion
This type of corrosion occurs along the grain boundaries of alloys under certain conditions. The
corrosion causes separation of the grains. This corrosion can cause very small cracks on the
surface of the metal which can only be seen with magnification. This corrosion causes serious
damage to parts and makes structure weak. A part which has, or possibly has, this type of
corrosion must be replaced.
E. Stress Corrosion
This can occur where there is corrosion and a continuous load applied to a part. It can be seen
as very small cracks. This corrosion can also start in areas where loads are applied to the metal
during manufacture. A decrease of metal thickness because of corrosion and the load on the part
can cause a crack.

PC-6
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
F. Crevice Corrosion
Crevice corrosion is caused by water held between the two surfaces of a joint. The corrosion
pushes the parts apart and can cause stress damage to the fasteners.
G. Corrosion Fatigue
This occurs when loads are frequently put on a part which has corrosion. The combination of the
loads and the corrosion can cause cracks at the corrosion pits and a failure of the part can occur.
It may not be possible to see the corrosion and there may be no loss of material.
H. Fretting Corrosion
This corrosion is caused when two surfaces, one metallic, rub against each other. When the
surfaces rub together the protective film on the surface of the metal is removed. The corrosion
makes an abrasive and removes more material from the surface. This makes the damage worse.
This corrosion can cause fatigue cracks and subsequent failure of the part.
This corrosion can also occur between aerodynamic fairings, access panels and service doors
and the structure. This corrosion shows as a black powder on aluminum alloys and brown
powder on steels. The powder also collects on and around the surfaces which touch each other.
I. Biological Corrosion
This type of corrosion is caused by micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae growing in
areas where water has collected. This usually occurs in areas such as fuel tanks and
aerodynamic fairings. The corrosion shows as green particles on the material surface. If the fuel
tank coating is damaged other types of corrosion can occur.
High-strength, high stress alloys can absorb molecular hydrogen. This can make the metal brittle
and cracks can occur.
Mercury will corrode and embrittle aluminum and titanium along the grain boundaries.
Cadmium and silver particles can make stressed titanium brittle when the temperature is higher
than room temperature.
3. Corrosion in Joints
If there is moisture on the mating surfaces between two components or fasteners when they are
assembled, local corrosion or pitting can occur.
Use of jointing compounds and sealants can reduce the possibility of galvanic corrosion in joints.
Components that can be affected, should be examined regularly for signs of seep stains, powdery
deposits, loose or blistered protective finish or sealant at the edge of the join and fastener holes.
External and internal joints should be assembled wet with jointing compound, epoxy primer or sealant.

4. Metal Groups
Group 4 - Stainless steel, titanium, chromium, nickel, copper and their alloys
The metals in Group 1 corrode easily and must have maximum protection against corrosion. The
metals in Group 4 need minimum protection.
Parts which have metals from different groups must be treated on assembly to prevent corrosion.
5. Identification of Corrosion
The size, appearance and type of corrosion is different for each type of metal. Most types of corrosion
can be seen on the surface of the metal, but some types occur in the metal.
Blisters, swells and flakes on the surface finish of the metal show that there may be corrosion
below the surface finish.
Blisters, swells and cracks on metal surfaces show that there may be intergranular corrosion in
the metal. This also shows that the material may have absorbed hydrogen.
B. Steels
On alloy and carbon steels a red oxide dust (rust) collects on the metal and there are pits on the
surface.
Cadmium plating is applied to protect steel components and to give a compatible surface when a
part is in contact with other materials. Corrosion of the cadmium shows as a white to brown color
on the surface. This corrosion prevents corrosion of the steel component.

6. Corrosion Prevention
•
Aircraft are regularly washed and minor damage to the paint finish is immediately repaired
•
The accessible interior of the aircraft structure is regularly cleaned and examined for signs of
corrosion
•
Drain holes are kept free of debris
•
The interior of the structure is treated with a corrosion preventative
•
Metal components which are not painted are treated with a corrosion preventative
•
Corrosion Preventative Compounds (CPC's) are regularly examined for deterioration of the
protective layer and repaired if necessary.
7. Wash Frequency
The wash procedure must be done on an On-Condition basis dependant on the local environmental
conditions. Environmental conditions will not be the same for all operators and the operator must
consider local conditions to establish a wash program.
Wash Frequency
Table 1
These wash frequencies should be done in addition to the scheduled aircraft wash given in Chapter 5.
The different environment operating conditions are categorized by three corrosion severity zones. The
corrosion severity zones for each geographical location are shown in Figure 1, however, local
conditions can be more or less severe.
8. Washwater Quality
The quality of the washwater is also important, therefore Pilatus Aircraft Ltd has defined the standard
that follows:

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
There are several different Corrosion Preventative Compounds (CPC's) used by Pilatus:
• CPC-light
• CPC-heavy
• CPC-lubricating
• CPC-exterior
These are water displacing corrosion preventive compounds that leave a film of different
consistencies and thickness. They are suitable for medium and long-term protection of
components. They require periodical inspection of the film surface (Ref. Table 4).
CPC's can be applied by brush or spraying. Spray application at all joints and surfaces with
airless or airmix spray equipment is the preferred method. For treatment of small areas and
touch-up, aerosol cans are most suitable.
The CPC film must be clear and without any cracks. Joints along stringers and spars must be
filled with a continuous fillet of a corrosion preventative compound. If the CPC film is damaged,
fissured, or cracked then the coating must be repaired by applying a new layer of the applicable
CPC. It is not necessary to remove the old corrosion preventative compound, unless the film is
dark, cloudy, muddy or extremely dry.
• CPC-temporary
This is a super penetrating, water displacing corrosion preventive compound that leaves an
ultra-thin film.
These give short-term protection and must therefore be reapplied at relatively short intervals
(Ref. Table 4) to maintain the protective layer. They can stop light corrosion already present and
prevent further corrosion until the next inspection or application.
Water displacing compounds can be applied by brush, dipping or spraying. Spray application in a
fine mist with airless spray equipment or aerosol can is the preferred method.
C. Alternative Products
Alternative products are available. However, if an alternative product is used it must not damage
the materials or components or leave any unwanted residue as it dries. Before an alternative
compound is applied, make sure the original layer is removed.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Corrosion inspections must be done when called for on the scheduled inspections. T he corrosion
inspection frequency depends mainly on calendar time and on the local environmental
conditions. Flight hours are not the basic factor.
Local conditions will not be the same for all operators. Aircraft operated in extremely humid,
tropical, cold, damp, salt laden or industrial environmental conditions, could need more frequent
inspections and treatment. Under these conditions, the inspections should be more frequent until
the operator can establish a corrosion control program, based on experience.
The frequency also depends on the location of the aircraft. External locations can be attacked
more by environmentally polluted air and rain, while internal locations can remain wet for a longer
period if water condenses. Also, as different areas of the aircraft have different treatments, the
frequency of the inspections and applications will vary.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
This Page Block gives the maintenance practices for corrosion control. Corrosion Preventative
Compounds (CPCs) are applied to the aircraft during production and applied again during maintenance
to make sure that there is continued corrosion protection. CPCs displace water and contain active
corrosion inhibitors. They form a waxy or solid, non-sticky film and penetrate into crevices and fill in
gaps and thus prevent the entry of corrosive media and to protect parts against corrosion. The CPC
layers are regularly examined for deterioration at frequencies given:
• During the scheduled inspections to examine the aircraft areas/systems in accordance with
Chapter 5
• As part of the Operator’s corrosion control plan based upon local environmental conditions (Ref.
20-40-00 Page Block 1).
It is recommended that CPC layers are repaired as soon as possible when their condition has
deteriorated and must be repaired at the latest after the inspections given above.
This Page Block gives the procedures to examine and repair the CPC layers in the aircraft areas given
in Table 1.
NOTE: <1> Suitable AAS spray equipment (that includes wands and jets) as recommended by
the CPC manufacturer or the CPC product in an aerosol spray can be used. The
equipment is to be able to spray the CPC into the required areas in accordance with
the CPC manufacturer’s instructions.

APPLICABLE LOCAL INSTRUCTIONS. CONSUMABLE MATERIALS CAN BE
DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: YOU MUST PUT ON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND GOGGLES WHEN YOU APPLY
CPC. PUT ON A RESPIRATOR WHEN YOU WORK IN A CLOSED AREA. DO NOT LET
THE MATERIAL STAY ON YOUR SKIN FOR A LONG TIME. CPC CAN BE TOXIC IF
YOU BREATHE IN THE FUMES FOR A LONG TIME AND CAN CAUSE DEATH OR
INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
A. Job Set Up
(1) Do the aircraft clean procedure (Ref. 12-20-01, Page Block 701).
(2) Make sure that the drain holes are clean and not blocked.
(3) Remove all the access panels as necessary, but not the fuel tank access panels (Ref.

(4) Remove the screws and the left and right end plates from the horizontal stabilizer as
necessary.
NOTE: This can be necessary for application or repair of the CPC layers to get access
to the two holes in the end ribs. It is not necessary for examination of the internal
structure when the borescope can get access to these areas through the access
panel and rib lightening holes.
B. Inspection
(1) Examine the structure in the specific aircraft areas given in Table 1. Look for corrosion
(Ref. 20-40-00, Page Block 1). Use a bright light source, mirrors, magnifier and borescope
when necessary. If you find corrosion:
• Assess the level of corrosion damage before repair. Repair the damage as soon as
possible.
• For aircraft structure identified in Chapter 51 thru 57 of the SRM, Ref. SRM
51-00-05, Page Block 1.
• For system corrosion, Ref. 20-40-00, Page Block 801.
(2) Examine the structure in the specific aircraft areas given in Table 1. Look for dry,
damaged, deteriorated, contaminated, missing or insufficient application of CPC. Use a
bright light source, mirrors and borescope when necessary:
• CPC is applied in an even and smooth film that fills all gaps and crevices
• A stream of CPC between 3 and 5 mm (0.118 and 0.197 in) on stringers, profiles
and joints makes sure that there is adequate penetration
• Heavy over spray and puddles of CPC are not permitted
• A narrow circle of CPC must be present around rivets and fasteners
• CPC is not a decorative finish and runs and drips are permitted but droplets are not
permitted
• Droplets of CPC show that the surface underneath is contaminated which inhibits
correct penetration
• You must use a (Ultra-Violet) UV bright light source instead of a standard bright light
source for inspection of CPC (Material No. P10-013).
(3) If you find dry, damaged, deteriorated, contaminated, missing or insufficient application of
CPC, you must repair it (Ref. Para 3.C.).

This Page Block gives the procedure for the removal of unserviceable helical-coil thread inserts and
installation of new replacements.
There are different sizes and types of helical-coil thread insert. Some are of the free running type
(NASM122076 to NASM122275 and NASM124651 to NASM124850) and some are of the self-locking
type (NASM21209). You can install a helical-coil thread insert in a blind hole or in a through hole.
To identify the correct helical-coil thread insert, refer to the applicable data given in the:
Figure 401 shows typical self-locking and free running helical-coil thread insert.
Figure 402 shows the typical equipment from a helical-coil insertion kit.
Figure 403 shows the nominal thread diameter and depth dimensions for through and blind holes. The
dimensions given in Figure 403 are:
• A - This is the nominal bore diameter of a typical installation hole (for reference only)
• B - These dimensions show the depth of the thread that has been cut for a typical through hole
and blind hole (for reference only)
• C - This shows that the installation hole for a blind hole extends below the installed position of the
helical-coil thread insert (for reference only)
• P - This shows the depth to which you must install a replacement helical-coil thread insert
(where P = 0.25 to 0.5 of the thread pitch).
Table 401 gives the nominal thread diameters and minimum and maximum hole diameters with threads

1. General
The heating and ventilation system uses ram air and engine compressor bleed air (P3) for ventilation,
windscreen defrosting, cabin heating and radio equipment cooling.
Air enters the system through the air intake in the front lower cowl and goes through a flexible duct and
blower.
When COLD is selected, the air goes through ducts to the fresh air vents in the cabin, to keep the
radios cool and also to the windscreen defroster.
When HOT is selected, the cabin bleed air regulating valve opens and at the same time the fresh air
regulating valve closes. Hot P3 bleed air goes through the silencer and in to the mixer box where it
mixes with the cold air from the air intake. The warm air then goes to the windscreen defroster.
If CABIN is selected, air goes through ducts to the pilots foot heater and the cabin heater unit.
The emergency shut off control can be operated if smoke or fumes enter the cabin. This control closes
two valves at the firewall. The control can not be be reset in the cockpit after it is operated.
Some aircraft have vents installed in the cabin to give a cold air supply for passengers. A vent is
installed in the left side of the fuselage behind the cabin. Air is drawn into the system by an electric
motor and passes through a large flexible pipe to eye-ball type vents in the cabin roof.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The PC-6 aircraft electrical power system is a direct current, 24 volts nominal and 28 volts operational,
single pole, negative ground system.
NOTE: The optional equipment installation depends on operators requirements and avionic
equipment installation.
The aircraft is equipped with a 24V nickel cadmium battery which supplies sufficient power for engine
starts. An external power receptacle is fitted for connection to an auxiliary power source.
For starting, the starter/generator operates as an electric motor to rotate the engine until self-sustaining
combustion and idle speed are reached. With the engine running the starter/generator normally
provides electrical power to the various aircraft busbars and also maintains the battery in a fully
charged state. The generator busbar and the battery busbar are interconnected by a remote controlled
circuit breaker. This protects one busbar from the other in the event of a major short circuit in either
system rendering total electrical system failure unlikely.
Avionic equipment is divided between the battery and generator busbars to preclude total loss of
communication and navigation capabilities. Most systems considered as essential are connected to
the battery radio bus and the secondary equipment connected to the generator radio bus.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Safety Precautions
All precautions necessary to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment are to be taken before
electrical power is connected to the aircraft distribution or user system.
Certain tests must use the aircraft battery as the power source. In general, minimal use of the aircraft
battery should be made during ground tests. Connect an external power supply when possible for
aircraft maintenance and electrical systems operation.
2. Examination of Wiring
Wiring should be examined for signs of damage, deterioration, chafing and security of attachments and
connections. Examine especially at bends, points of support, duct entries, high temperature areas and
areas of possible contamination. Where cables are grouped together, the state of the outer cables
normally indicates the condition of the remainder.
When repairs or modifications to the aircraft are done, examine cable looms, plugs and sockets, and
terminal blocks in the work area to make sure they are free from metallic particles and other materials.
Terminations must be secure with good electrical contact but without strain to the threads, terminal
pillars or studs. Torque loading, where applicable, must be within the limits specified.
3. Bonding
Good bonding is necessary to protect against a build up of high potential differences within the aircraft
which could injure personnel or damage equipment. Good bonding also helps to avoid equipment
malfunction or interference.
A replacement bonding connection or jumper must be of the same current carrying capacity as the one
it replaces. All bonding connectors must be properly locked to prevent intermittent contact caused by
vibration. Connectors and jumpers must not to have sharp bends or be excessively tight or slack.
Corrosion or high resistance found in connections can be treated by cleaning the terminal assembly
with a fine abrasive and using an antioxidant compound to seal the connection. If bonding is through a
holding bolt, remove and clean the area under the head of the bolt. Washers used in connections must
be the type specified by the manufacturer. This reduces the risk of corrosion caused by electrolytic
action between different materials.

1. General
The standard electrical generation system comprises a 28V DC (generator) system and a secondary
24V DC main battery system.
2. AC Generation Description
A. General
The optional AC generation system is a dual inverter system. The inverters used require the
operation of a remote INV1/OFF/INV2 facility to switch the system on.
The dual inverter system consists of two transistorized static inverters and an inverter selector
switch. The active system is monitored by the central warning system (CWS).
The static inverters convert 28V DC electrical power to 115V AC and 26V AC, 400 Hz. Each
inverter is capable of supplying the total the total load requirements of the aircraft AC systems.
Only one inverter is selected on-line at a time. The remaining inverter is used as a standby
source of power.
The inverters, identified inverter 1 and inverter 2, receive their 28V DC input separately from
different busbars. This prevents complete loss of aircraft AC power if a single DC busbar fails.
A four pole, three position switch is used for inverter selection. The switch is located to the right
of the instrument panel and is placarded INVERTER with marked positions INV 1 - OFF - INV 2.
The CWS monitors the 26V AC output of the on-line inverter and illuminates the INVERTER
caption on the CWS annunciator panel when the voltage falls below 13V AC.
The inverters are protected by circuit breakers located in the cockpit on the main circuit breaker
panel. the circuit breakers are placarded INV1 (BATTERY BUS CB panel) and INV2
(GENERATOR BUS CB panel).
Both inverters are supplied with a positive DC input when power is connected to the DC
distribution system.
When the INVERTER switch is located to the middle (OFF) position the inverters are prevented
from converting the DC input to AC by internal inhibiting circuits. The inhibiting circuits are
controlled by the inverters remote on/off facility routed through the INVERTER switch. The
inverters require the remote on/off facility to be grounded to switch the inverter on.
Selecting the INVERTER switch S207 to the INV 1 or INV 2 position enables the selected
inverter and connects the nominal outputs of 115V AC and 26V AC, 400 Hz to the aircraft AC
distribution system.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The standard electrical generation system comprises a primary 28V DC (generator) system and a
secondary 24V DC main battery system. The main source of DC power is the engine driven generator.
The engine driven generator also works as a starter motor to produce the torque required to turn the
engine during start-up.
The secondary source of DC power is provided by a 24 volt nickel cadmium battery. During normal
operation the battery is trickle charged from the generator system. The battery is automatically brought
on line when the generator is tripped, providing that the BATTERY switch has been selected ON.
External DC power can be connected to the aircraft at the external power unit (EPU) receptacle for use
during ground operation. On-line selection of the main battery or generator system causes automatic
electrical disconnection of external power. Engine starting may be carried out by using external power
or by using the aircraft battery.
A DC VOLT/AMP indicator, installed on the right hand instrument panel, allows visual observation of
the main distribution and radio busbars' voltage and load current. In addition, a test voltmeter can be
connected to the generator busbar via jack sockets below the right side of instrument panel.
Captions on the central warning system (CWS) annunciator panel illuminate to indicate battery over
temperature (BATT HOT) and the following off line conditions: generator (GENERATOR), generator
busbar (GEN BUS) and battery busbar (BATT BUS).
NOTE: The optional equipment installation depends on operators requirements and avionic
equipment installation.
A. General
The DC generator system comprises the generation circuit of the starter-generator unit, voltage
regulator and associated switches and relays.
Knowledge of the control and protection functions of the voltage regulator is required to fully
understand the generator system. These functions are described in the following paragraphs.

The voltage regulator is set to a standard voltage of between 27.75V DC and 28.0V DC but can
be adjusted over a range from 26V DC to 30V DC allowing the correct DC voltage to be set at the
busbars. Voltage regulation is maintained to within +0.4/-0.7 volts of the set voltage under
varying conditions of rated load, generator speed, temperature and altitude environment with a
30 millisecond recovery time following load changes.
Regulation is achieved by controlling the generator shunt field current. The generator output
voltage is compared with an internal reference voltage. Any deviation from the nominal set
voltage causes an appropriate change of generator shunt field current.
Under certain failure conditions the generator is de-energized by switching off the generator
shunt field excitation current and is disconnected from the DC busbars by de-energizing
generator relay.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The voltage regulator line contactor circuit provides the control for connecting the generator
output to the DC busbars. A number of inhibiting signals are used to prevent generator
connection, or to disconnect the generator, when failure conditions are sensed.
With GENERATOR switch selected ON, but prior to the generator being connected, the busbar
voltage is monitored. When the generator output rises to within O.SV DC of the busbar voltage,
the line contactor circuit automatically switches on power to energize the generator relay and
connect the generator to the busbars.
D. Over-voltage Protection
The equipment supplied by the generator is protected from excessive generator voltages by two
separate protection circuits in the voltage regulator.
One circuit measures the voltage at the voltage regulator. When a preset limit is exceeded an
integrator circuit activates. The degree of over-voltage determines the response time of the
integrator circuit. Severe over-voltage causes the generator shunt field excitation current to be
switched off almost immediately along with the simultaneous opening of the line contactor
circuit. Slight over-voltage results in a delayed response. This avoids nuisance tripping of the
generator relay caused by momentary transients. Manual operation of the GEN RESET switch is
required to return the generator on-line after the switch has been latched off by this circuit.
The second protection circuit is used to open the line contactor circuit as soon as the voltage
exceeds 40V DC. The line contactor circuit remains open only during the over-voltage condition
and the generator relay is automatically energized after the fault clears, avoiding the need to
manually reset the system after a temporary over-voltage condition.
E. Under-voltage Protection
If the generator voltage sensed at the voltage regulator falls below20V DC for approximately 10
seconds an under-voltage protection circuit switches off the generator shunt field excitation
current and opens the line contactor circuit. The generator system must be reset manually
following this type of failure.
F. Overload Protection
The overload protection circuit utilizes the voltage developed across the generator interpole
winding to sense the generator output current. Should the voltage exceed a voltage
representing 150% of the generator rating for approximately 1O seconds, the generator shunt
field excitation current is switched off and the line contactor circuit latched open. Manual reset
of the system is required after this type of failure.
The reverse current protection circuit senses the generator interpole voltage at voltage regulator
to determine whether the generator is acting as a load or power source in the system. If current
begins to flow into the generator due to a failure or during a normal engine shut-down the line
contactor circuit is opened following a time delay which is inversely proportional to the amount
of current flow. The time delay prevents needless cycling of the generator relay during a
transient condition. The circuit is not latched open so manual reset of the system is not required
after the fault condition clears.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
H. Reset
Following a latched trip condition the system is manually reset by operating the GEN RESET
switch. Applying the DC positive supply to these terminals momentarily will reset internal relays
in the regulator restoring the regulator from its tripped condition.
The GEN RESET switch is located on the cockpit left side panel.
A. General
After starting, the engine accelerates and begins to drive the starter generator, initially producing
a small DC voltage at generator which is fed to VOLT REG 2 circuit breaker and the contacts of
de-energized starter relay. This voltage source is used as the positive DC supply to power the
internal circuits of the voltage regulator which is operational when the generated voltage reaches
20VDC.
When the voltage regulator reaches normal operating conditions the generator output voltage is
monitored and compared with the busbar voltage. When the voltage difference is less than 0.5V
DC, generator relay is energized and the generator output is connected to the busbars. The
output voltage is initially supplied by the generator to the voltage regulator via VOLT REG 2
circuit breaker CB203, starter relay contacts, GEN RESET switch and GENERATOR switch
(selected ON). A break in the circuit caused by opening any one of these devices will remove
the supply and take the generator off-line.
The CWS annunciator panel GENERATOR caption is extinguished by connecting it to ground via
contacts of energized generator relay. The GENERATOR caption illuminates when the relay is
de-energized (generator off-line) and the CWS grounding circuit broken.
Before the generator reaches its operating voltage, the de-energized generator relay provides a
route to ground for the EPU relay energizing circuit. If the battery relay is also de-energized,
external power can be connected to the distribution system. When the generator relay is
energized the generator comes on-line and the external power is automatically disconnected.
Voltage regulator and generator relay are located on the front lower face of firewall bulkhead 1.
Access is through the engine compartment lower access panel.
Periodic testing and exercising of the over-voltage protection circuit in the voltage regulator is
achieved using a spring loaded OV TEST switch, located on the cockpit left side panel. With OV
TEST selected, voltage regulator de-energizes generator relay within a few seconds and isolates
the generator.
The GEN RESET switch must be operated to return the generator on-line.

B. DC Test Socket
Connection to the generator busbar by an external test voltmeter is made through jack sockets
located below the right side instrument panel. To make sure that polarity connection is correct,
the sockets are color coded.
A. DC Indication
During normal operation the generator busbar and the battery busbar are interconnected via the
busbar cross tie contacts of circuit breaker. The busbar voltage level and the amount and
direction of current flowing between the aircraft battery and the main busbars are detected at the
shunt.
The status of the detected voltage and load current is displayed by the VOLT/AMP indicator
connected to over the shunt. The indicator is located on right side instrument panel. To protect
the aircraft system if an indicator fault occurs, two circuit breakers, located on the front lower
face of firewall bulkhead 1 are installed.
DC VOLTS + 10 to +30
B. Annunciator Panels
The annunciator panel is located on the lower section of the center instrument panel.
The CWS monitors the battery, generator and main busbars, and illuminates the appropriate
caption when necessary. CWS monitoring of certain optional AC systems is achieved by
sampling the 26V AC output from the on-line inverter.
Busbar voltage levels are monitored at the battery busbar and generator busbar via ANN PANEL
circuit breakers.

STARTER-GENERATOR - INSPECTION/CHECK
1. General
This topic gives the procedure for the inspection/check of the brush assemblies of the
starter-generators P/N 978.91.23.101 and 978.91.23.201.
The rate the brushes wear is linear if the operation of the aircraft is the same. For example, if the
brushes wear by approximately 25% after 300 flying hours, then in the next 300 flying hours another
25% wear will occur.
If the brushes are worn to the maximum limit, you must remove the starter-generator and return it to a
facility that can do the brush bed-in process.
If the starter-generator is removed, attach a label to it that gives the reason for removal and the hours
run since the last overhaul.
3. Procedures
A. Job Set Up
(3) Put warning signs ‘DO NOT CONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER’ at the EPU receptacle
and BATTERY MASTER switch.
(1) Record the position of the air inlet (1) on the starter-generator (3).
(2) Remove the four screws (2) that attach the air inlet (1) to the starter-generator (3).
(3) Carefully slide the air inlet (1) to the rear and remove it from the starter-generator (3).
(4) Clean the internal parts of the starter-generator (3), the air inlet (1) and the cover assembly
with a soft brush and dry clean compressed air (29 PSIG / 200 kPa max).
(a) If there are any chips or cracks, reject the starter-generator (3).
(b) If there are any frayed electrical wires, loose connections or loose rivets, reject the
starter-generator (3).
(2) If necessary, replace the starter-generator (3) (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401).
D. Measure the Brushes for Wear (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 2 and 3)
NOTE: It is not possible to use the gage (10) to get a measurement on all of the brushes (5).
(1) For the brushes (5) that you can use the gage (10) to get a measurement:
(a) Put the gage (10) on the highest point of the brush (5).
NOTE: Do not put the gage (10) on the brush spring (7) or the brush spring
support (6).
(b) Measure the distance from the top of the brush (5) to the top (highest point) of the
brush holder assembly (9).
(d) Do the above procedure again (where possible) for each brush (5) per brush holder
assembly (9).
(2) For the brushes (5) that you cannot use the gage (10) to get a measurement:
(a) Use a torch and a mirror to visually examine the brushes (5) for similar wear
measured with the gage (10).
(b) If a visually examined brush is shorter than the measured brushes, remove the
starter-generator (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401) and measure the brush with the
gage.
(3) Use the measurement(s) recorded and calculate the projected hours of brush life
remaining, refer to Para. 3. E.
(4) If the projected hours of brush life remaining is less than the number of hours until the next
scheduled inspection/check, reject the starter-generator.
(5) If the visual examination determines that the brushes (5) are worn to the maximum limit, or
are estimated to wear to the maximum limit before the next scheduled inspection/check,
reject the starter-generator.
(6) If necessary, replace the starter-generator (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401).
E. Calculate the Projected Hours of Brush Life (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 4)
(1) Use the brush wear graph and the measurement(s) that you recorded, to determine the
remaining brush life (%).
NOTE: Use the largest measurement (the brush with the most wear) to determine the
remaining brush life (%).
NOTE: You must know the Time Since Overhaul/Time Since New (TSO/TSN) for the
starter-generator.
(3) Use the “Remaining Brush Life (%)” column and the “TSO/TSN (HOURS)” row on the
Projected Brush-Life Table to determine the projected hours of brush life remaining.
F. Do a Check that the Brush Leads are Correctly Positioned (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 2)
(1) Make sure that the brush leads (4) are correctly positioned, as shown in Fig. 601, Sht. 2,
Position 2 (Butterflied).
(a) Push the brush leads (4) away from the shunt lead connection (8) and (at the spring
side) make a bend in the brush leads (4), as shown in Fig. 601, Sht. 2, Position 1.
(b) Make sure that the insulation sleeves are pushed up (as much as possible) against
the shunt lead connection (8).
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE BRUSH LEADS ARE CORRECTLY POSITIONED
(BUTTERFLIED) AND DO NOT OVERHANG THE LEADING EDGE
(SPRING SIDE) OF THE BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY. THE BRUSH
LEADS CAN CAUSE HANG UP IF THEY ARE NOT CORRECTLY
POSITIONED OR THEY CATCH ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE BRUSH
HOLDER ASSEMBLY.
(c) Push the brush leads (4) down and apart to get the correct “Butterflied” position, as
shown in Fig. 601, Sht. 2, Position 2.
(d) Make sure that the brush leads (4) do not overhang the leading edge (spring side)
of the brush holder assembly (9).
(1) Carefully put the air inlet (1) in the correct position that you recorded in the removal
procedure and align the holes.
NOTE: Make sure that you do not move the brush leads out of position when you install
the air inlet (1).
(3) Torque the screws (2) to between 0.87 Nm to 1.16 Nm (7.7 lbf in. to 10.3 lbf in.).
H. Job Close Up
(1) Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items.
(3) Remove the safety clip and close the circuit breaker:
(4) Remove the warning signs from the EPU receptacle and the BATTERY MASTER switch.

STARTER-GENERATOR - INSPECTION/CHECK
1. General
This topic gives the procedure for the inspection/check of the brush assemblies of the
starter-generator P/N 978.91.23.434.
The rate the brushes wear is linear if the operation of the aircraft is the same. For example, if the
brushes wear by approximately 25% after 300 flying hours, then in the next 300 flying hours another
25% wear will occur.
If the brushes are worn to the maximum limit, you must remove the starter-generator and return it to a
facility that can do the brush bed-in process.
If the starter-generator is removed, attach a label to it that gives the reason for removal and the hours
run since the last overhaul.
3. Procedures
A. Job Set Up
(3) Put warning signs ‘DO NOT CONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER’ at the EPU receptacle
and BATTERY MASTER switch.
(1) Record the position of the brush access cover (2) on the starter generator (1).
(3) Open the brush access cover (2) and slide it rearwards to remove it from the starter
generator (1).
(4) Clean the internal parts of the starter-generator (1) and the brush access cover (2) with a
soft brush and dry clean compressed air (29 PSIG / 200 kPa max).
(a) If there are any chips or cracks, reject the starter-generator (3).
(b) If there are any frayed electrical wires, loose connections or loose rivets, reject the
starter-generator (3).
(2) If necessary, replace the starter-generator (3) (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401).
D. Measure the Brushes for Wear (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 2 and 3)
NOTE: It is not possible to use the gage (10) to get a measurement on all of the brushes (5).
(1) For the brushes (5) that you can use the gage (10) to get a measurement:
(a) Put the gage (10) on the highest point of the brush (5).
NOTE: Do not put the gage (10) on the brush spring (7) or the brush spring
support (6).
(b) Measure the distance from the top of the brush (5) to the top (highest point) of the
brush holder assembly (9).
(d) Do the above procedure again (where possible) for each brush (5) per brush holder
assembly (9).
(2) For the brushes (5) that you cannot use the gage (10) to get a measurement:
(a) Use a torch and a mirror to visually examine the brushes (5) for similar wear
measured with the gage (10).
(b) If a visually examined brush is shorter than the measured brushes, remove the
starter-generator (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401) and measure the brush with the
gage.
(3) Use the measurement(s) recorded and calculate the projected hours of brush life
remaining, refer to Para. 3. E.
(4) If the projected hours of brush life remaining is less than the number of hours until the next
scheduled inspection/check, reject the starter-generator.
(5) If the visual examination determines that the brushes (5) are worn to the maximum limit, or
are estimated to wear to the maximum limit before the next scheduled inspection/check,
reject the starter-generator.
(6) If necessary, replace the starter-generator (Ref. 24-31-11, Page Block 401).
E. Calculate the Projected Hours of Brush Life (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 4)
(1) Use the brush wear graph and the measurement(s) that you recorded, to determine the
remaining brush life (%).
NOTE: Use the largest measurement (the brush with the most wear) to determine the
remaining brush life (%).
NOTE: You must know the Time Since Overhaul/Time Since New (TSO/TSN) for the
starter-generator.
(3) Use the “Remaining Brush Life (%)” column and the “TSO/TSN (HOURS)” row on the
Projected Brush-Life Table to determine the projected hours of brush life remaining.
F. Do a Check that the Brush Leads are Correctly Positioned (Ref. Fig. 601, Sht. 2)
(1) Make sure that the brush leads (4) are correctly positioned, as shown in Fig. 601, Sht. 3,
Position 2 (Butterflied).
(a) Push the brush leads (4) away from the shunt lead connection (8) and (at the spring
side) make a bend in the brush leads (4), as shown in Fig. 601, Sht. 3, Position 1.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE BRUSH LEADS ARE CORRECTLY POSITIONED
(BUTTERFLIED) AND DO NOT OVERHANG THE LEADING EDGE
(SPRING SIDE) OF THE BRUSH HOLDER ASSEMBLY. THE BRUSH
LEADS CAN CAUSE HANG UP IF THEY ARE NOT CORRECTLY
POSITIONED OR THEY CATCH ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE BRUSH
HOLDER ASSEMBLY.
(b) Push the brush leads (4) down and apart to get the correct “Butterflied” position, as
shown in Fig. 601, Sheet 2 of 4, Position 2.
(c) Make sure that the brush leads (4) do not overhang the leading edge (spring side)
of the brush holder assembly (9).
(1) Open the brush access cover (2) and slide it forwards to install it on the starter generator
(1).
(2) Put the brush access cover (2) in the position recorded in the removal procedure. Make
sure the vent holes are adjacent to the terminal block.
(3) Torque tighten the screw (3) to between 2,5 to 4,0 Nm (22 to 35 lbf.in).
H. Job Close Up
(1) Make sure that the work area is clean and clear of tools and other items.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
This topic gives safety precautions and general maintenance practices for nickel cadmium batteries.
2. Safety Precautions
A. Personal Safety
Nickel cadmium batteries use a solution of potassium hydroxide and distilled water as the
electrolyte.
If electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, wash the affected area with large quantities of
water and neutralize with a solution of boric acid, lemon juice or vinegar. If electrolyte gets into
the eyes, immediately flush the eyes with water and obtain medical help.
Remove rings and other metal jewellery from hands. Do not use brushes with any metal parts
when cleaning batteries. Metal items can cause electrical shorts which can burn the skin or
damage the battery.
Avoid strain and use correct lifting practices when handling heavy batteries. Obtain assistance if
the battery is to be lifted in an awkward position. Do not use the battery vent pipes for lifting
purposes.
B. Aircraft Safety
To avoid build up of heavy gases make sure the battery is correctly connected to the ventilation
system. The ventilation system must be regularly inspected for leaks and obstructions.
When carrying out a visual examination of an installed battery, do not place the removed battery
cover or cell vent caps on any part of the aircraft structure or equipment.
Do not do maintenance on the battery, including electrolyte level adjustment, when the battery is
installed in the aircraft.
C. General Safety
Methods of servicing nickel-cadmium batteries and lead-acid batteries are not the same. The
following safety precautions must be taken:
Tools, equipment and protective clothing, used for servicing one type of battery must not
be used when servicing the other type.
Do not store or service both types of battery in the same room unless the sulphuric acid
fumes of the lead-acid batteries can not come into contact with the nickel-cadmium
batteries.
Do not allow foreign objects, debris or dirt to accumulate on the battery or Installation.
Do not use solvents for battery cleaning. Make sure that plastic parts are free from oil and
grease.
Lubricate the connectors, pole nuts and bolts with neutral petroleum jelly (Material No. P04-005).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Use only de-mineralised or distilled water for electrolyte level adjustment. Loss of water will
cause a higher concentration of electrolyte and possible overheating.
3. General Maintenance
Before carrying out work on batteries or battery systems, personnel must be familiar with all relevant
safety precautions.
Examine batteries frequently during their first few months of service. Maintain a record for each battery
to show inspections, test, repairs and maintenance that is done.
Examine batteries installed on aircraft for security, signs of damage and evidence of locally overheated
areas, with particular attention to the battery case, connections and mounting.
Examine connectors for signs of contamination, burns, cracks and bent or p itted terminal fittings.
Make sure vent lines are free from obstruction, leaks or damage.
With battery cover removed, examine tops of cells and vent caps for signs of electrolyte leakage.
Normal deposits may be removed with a cloth or plastic brush but the battery must be removed from
the aircraft for cleaning of excessive deposits.
If the electrolyte level is found to be below the minimum requirement, or an excessive amount of
electrolyte Is seen on top of the cells, remove the battery from the aircraft for servicing.

1. General
External DC power is connected to the DC distribution system via an External Power Unit (EPU)
receptacle and an EPU relay. The EPU relay automatically disconnects external power when the
distribution system or the generator system is in operation. Setting the aircraft main battery or generator
systems to ON causes electrical disconnection of external power by the EPU relay.
A. General
External DC power is connected to the aircraft through the EPU receptacle located on left side of
the engine compartment. The placard 24 VOLT displayed at the EPU receptacle shows the
minimum EPU voltage that must be applied to the aircraft DC distribution system. An EPU having
a nominal regulated 28 ± 1.0V DC output should be used whenever possible particularly when
carrying out operational and functional testing of electrical/electronic systems.
Aircraft with SB 168 have an overvoltage protection device connected across the main positive
pin and the negative pin of the EPU receptacle. The device has five parallel tranzorb diodes
connected in parallel, which can each withstand a peak pulse of 15000 W, and together can
absorb a peak pulse of 75000 W.
The EPU receptacle has two positive pins and one negative pin. The small positive pin is used in
a polarity reversal protection circuit which prevents external power being connected to the DC
distribution system unless a positive DC voltage is present at the pin. With correct polarity
external DC power connected to the EPU receptacle, a diode in the EPU relay allows current
flow to energize the relay. The energized relay contacts close to complete the circuit from the
external power source to the distribution system.
Aircraft with SB 168 have an overvoltage protection device connected across the main positive
pin and the negative pin of the EPU receptacle. This device protects voltage-sensitive equipment
from voltage surges and ‘spikes’ generated by the external power supply.
The EPU relay energizing circuit is routed to ground through contacts in the via battery relay and
generator relay. When the battery or the generator is on-line the grounding circuit will open to de-
prevent energization of the EPU relay, which effectively disconnects external power from the
system.

1. General
- battery busbar
- generator busbar
The first four busbars are tied via busbar cross tie circuit breaker (RCCB) to whichever DC power
source is selected for use. Connection to the:
The battery hot busbar is connected permanently to the main battery. It can also be supplied
from the generator via the contacts of energized battery relay when the BATTERY switch is
selected ON. EPU power cannot be connected to the battery hot busbar as the EPU relay is de-
energized when the BATTERY switch is selected ON.
The battery direct busbar is connected to the output side of the battery relay.
The standard busbars are divided into two groups comprising three battery and two generator
busbars. During normal operation the two groups are connected through the RCCB. DC power is
distributed in parallel from the selected power source. If a grounding fault occurs in either the
battery or generator supply lines, the RCCB operates and breaks the cross tie connection. This
action isolates the faulty supply line and allows DC distribution to be continued from the
serviceable supply line and allows DC distribution to be continued from the serviceable supply
line through the appropriate group of busbars. The RCCB is reset by closing the BUS TIE
breaker located on the right hand side of the instrument panel.
The battery radio and generator radio busbars are supplied from the battery and generator
busbars respectively. Each radio busbar is connected to its main distribution busbar via a circuit
breaker and switch. In addition, the generator radio busbar is connected through a radio filter.
The switches are placarded RADIO BUS GEN and RADIO BUS BATTERY. When the RADIO
BUS GEN switch is selected to ON, RF interference-free DC power is supplied to the generator
radio busbar. Selecting RADIO BUS BATTERY switch to ON completes the normal DC supply
from the battery busbar to the radio busbar.

The aircraft is equipped with a normal flight control system for the ailerons, elevators and rudder.
Control rods and cables are used to operate the controls.
Balance tabs are installed on the aileron and elevator controls to reduce the loads required to operate
the controls during flight.
Trim tabs, which are adjustable in flight, are installed on the aileron and rudder control systems. The
trim control for the pitch axis is by a variable incidence horizontal stabilizer.
A fixed trim tab is installed on the elevator which can be adjusted on the ground.
I Newer aircraft have electrical operation of the trim tabs, horizontal stabilizer and flaps. Early aircraft
have mechanical operation and can be modified to electrical operation of these controls.

FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. General
This Page Block gives the procedures to balance the ailerons, elevators and rudder.
The ailerons, elevators and rudder must be balanced after repairs or when they are painted. This also
includes when the balance tab or trim tab of the flight control surface are repaired or painted.
The flight control surfaces are balanced on a test bench. The ailerons and elevators can be balanced
on the aircraft with the control system disconnected when the test bench is not available.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE BEARINGS OF THE CONTROL SURFACE CAN MOVE
FREELY IF THE BALANCE PROCEDURE IS DONE ON THE AIRCRAFT. THE FLIGHT
CONTROL SURFACE CAN BE BALANCED INCORRECTLY IF THE BEARINGS DO
NOT MOVE FREELY.
The elevators are balanced individually on a test bench. They are balanced together as an assembly
joined by the elevator torque-tube assembly when balanced on aircraft.
Use the formula that follows to calculate the position of the center of gravity (C of G) of the flight control
surface (Ref. Fig. 201, Fig. 203 and Fig. 206):
C of G position ‘X’ = (Upward force ‘P’ to keep control level) x (Distance of upward force from the pivot)
Weight ‘G’ of flight control surface

1. General
The rudder controls the yawing movement of the aircraft and is controlled from the rudder pedals
through cables.
A trim-tab is installed on the rudder trailing edge and can be either mechanically or electrically
operated.
2. Description
The rudder is of all metal construction with a spar, ribs and nose ribs covered with leading edge
panels and ribbed skin panels.
A balance horn is installed forward of the hinge line at the top. The horn provides aerodynamic
balance and contains mass balance weights. The weights must be adjusted to compensate for
changes in balance after repair or refinishing.
The rudder controls are shown on Figure 1 and comprise interconnected adjustable rudder bars
with cables connected to a bellcrank at the bottom of the vertical shaft of the rudder. The co-pilot
rudder pedal installation is optional.
A spring installed between the rear fuselage and the vertical shaft returns the rudder to a position
5° right when the rudder pedals are released.
The rudder control system is connected by cables and springs to the aileron control system to
give a small input to the ailerons when the rudder is operated.
The tab is of all metal construction and is installed on the rudder trailing edge with a rubberised
fabric hinge
On most aircraft, a bonding lead is installed between the tab and the rudder.
A rudder trim switch located below the center of the instrument panel shelf controls the
actuator. Aircraft yaw trim condition is indicated on the center dial of the triple axis trim
indicator located on left side of the pilots instrument panel.
The tab electric actuator is located inside the rudder leading edge and is connected to the
tab with a push-pull rod.
The system is supplied with 28 VDC through the RUDDER TRIM circuit breaker.

PC-6
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(2) Mechanical trim system (Ref. Fig. 3)
A trim control knob/position indicator, located on the left side of the pilot’s seat, is
connected by cables to a bellcrank located in the rudder leading edge. The bellcrank is
attached to the tab with a push-pull rod.
An adjustable friction clamp is installed on the bellcrank. This clamps the bellcrank
between two phenolic blocks to prevent flutter of the tab if a cable breaks or becomes
slack. For this reason the friction clamp must not be lubricated.
3. Operation
Movement of the left or right rudder pedal operates the cables to turn the rudder. Movement of the
rudder pedals also moves a bellcrank in the aileron system. This causes a small deflection of the
ailerons.
When the trim-tab is operated from the switch or control knob in the cockpit, it deflects the trim-tab. The
aerodynamic force on the trim-tab moves the rudder in the opposite direction and lets the aircraft be
trimmed to fly straight with no pressure on the rudder pedals.

The elevator consists of two identical units installed on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. Left
and right units are connected to the control lever on aircraft centerline.
Elevator movement is controlled by forward and rearward movement of the control column through
rods, levers and cables.
Pitch trim in flight is provided by the variable incidence horizontal stabilizer (Ref. 27-40-00).
2. Component Description
A. Elevators
The elevators are of metal construction with a spar, ribs and nose ribs covered with leading edge
skin and ribbed skin panels. A piano type hinge is attached to the end of the trailing edge for the
balance tab attachment.
A pitch change horn is installed on one end of the elevator .
Mass balance weights are installed in aerodynamic balance horns at the outer end of each
elevator unit. Weights must be adjusted to compensate for changes in center of balance
following repair or refinishing work.
B. Balance Tabs.
Balance tabs are installed with piano type hinges on the inboard trailing edge of each elevator
unit.
Control rods attached to the horizontal stabilizer move tabs in opposite direction to elevator.
Control rod length can be adjusted on the ground.
C. Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are installed on the trailing edge of each elevator unit outboard of the balance tabs.
The trim tabs are rivetted to the elevator units and are adjusted on the ground in response to
Flight Test results.
3. Operation
Movement of the control column forward or aft operates the controls to the elevator.
When the elevator starts to move, the rod to the balance tab moves the tab in the opposite direction.
This reduces the control forces for the pilot.

1. General
The aircraft is equipped with a variable incidence horizontal stabilizer. Two hinge bolts attach the
stabilizer main spar to the rear fuselage and are the pivot point of the stabilizer.
An electrical or mechanical trim actuator is installed to frame 12a in the rear fuselage. The actuator ram
is attached to the stabilizer rear spar.
•
The electrical system is operated by a switch on the hand grip of the control columns and has a
trim position indicator on the instrument panel
•
The mechanical system is operated by a handle in the cabin roof and has an indicator adjacent
to the handle
2. Component Description
The horizontal stabilizer is of metal construction with ribs and stringers covered with skin panels.
Brackets are installed to attach the stabilizer to the fuselage and actuator, and to attach the elevators.
3. Operation
The incidence of the stabilizer can be changed to allow the aircraft to fly level with no constant pressure
on the controls. Operation of the switch on the control column or the handle in the roof changes the
stabilizer incidence. The incidence is indicated on a trim indicator on the instrument panel for electrical
systems, or adjacent to the operating handle for mechanical systems.
Post SB-180
If the horizontal stabilizer trim is not in the correct range for takeoff approximately 20 seconds after the
aircraft lands, or after the system is electrically energized, an audio and visual warning is sent to the
pilot.

Flaps are installed to give increased lift during take-off and landing. Each wing has two flap units linked
together and installed on the trailing edge of the wing inboard of the ailerons.
• On aircraft with electrical flaps, a single electrical actuator operates the flaps through bellcranks
and rods
• On aircraft with mechanical flaps, an operating handle attached to a drive assembly in the cockpit
roof operates the flaps through chains, cables and screw-jack actuators
A. Flaps
The flaps are of metal construction with a spar, ribs and nose ribs covered with a leading edge
skin and ribbed skin panels. A slat is attached to the leading edge of the flap unit. Attachment
brackets are installed on each end of the flap.
B. Electrical System
Two systems can be installed with either a pre-set intermediate (take-off) flap position, or from
aircraft MSN 865, a 'step-less' system in which any angle between fully up and the landing
position can be set.
Microswitches installed adjacent to the actuator, are operated by cams installed on the bellcrank.
On aircraft up to MSN 865 four microswitches are installed, one for the up position, one for the
landing position, and two for the take-off position.
On aircraft from MSN 865 and up to MSN 884 (step-less system), operation of the switch causes
the flaps to move in the selected direction when the switch is held in the up or down position.
When the switch is released it returns automatically to the OFF position and the flaps stay at the
position selected. If the switch is not released, the actuator stops when the micro-switch for the
flaps full up or full down position operates.
On aircraft from MSN 885 (step-less system), operation of the switch causes the flaps to move in
the selected direction when the switch is set to the up or down position. When the switch is
returned to the OFF position the flaps stay at the position selected. The switch does not return
automatically to the off position when released. If the switch is not returned to the OFF position,
the actuator stops when the micro-switch for the flaps full up or full down position operates.
The position of the flaps is shown by either a gauge or three lights. The gauge operates from a
signal received from either an external position sensor or a position sensor in the actuator. The

lights operate from the microswitches installed adjacent to the actuator. A green light shows the
flaps are up, and amber lights show the take-off and landing positions.
C. Mechanical System
The mechanical system has an actuator in each wing, operated from the drive assembly in the
cockpit roof through chains, sprockets and cables.
A position indicator rod is attached to the left flap actuator. The indicator rod sticks through a hole
in the leading edge of the wing and is visible from the cockpit. Painted marks on the rod show the
position of the flaps.
Aircraft from MSN 623 and aircraft with SB 63 have chain tensioners installed to maintain chain
tension during operation.
3. Operation
A. Electrical System
On aircraft up to MSN 864, operation of the switch causes the flaps to move in the selected
direction when the switch is set to the up, take-off or landing position. The actuator stops when
the micro-switch for the selected position operates.
On aircraft from MSN 865 and up to MSN 884, operation of the switch causes the flaps to move
in the selected direction when the switch is held in the up or down position. When the switch is
released it returns automatically to the OFF position and the flaps stay at the position selected. If
the switch is not released, the actuator stops when the micro-switch for the selected position
operates.
On aircraft from MSN 885, operation of the switch causes the flaps to move in the selected
direction when the switch is set to the up or down position. The actuator stops when the micro-
switch for the selected position operates. To stop flap movement before full travel is reached, the
switch must be manually set to the OFF position.
B. Mechanical System
Operation of the handle in the cockpit roof operates the flap screw-jack actuators in each wing
through chains and cables. An indicator rod on the left actuator is visible through the wing
leading edge, and has paint marks to show the flap position.

1. General
The flap range of movement is controlled by microswitches and cams installed below the flap actuator
bellcrank. The cams are installed on the bellcrank hinge and rotate with the bellcrank.
On aircraft up to MSN 865, a three position system is installed with the take-off (TO) position controlled
by two microswitches. One microswitch controls the TO position when the flaps extend, and the other
when the flaps retract.
Aircraft from MSN 865 have 'step-less' operation between fully retracted (UP) and fully extended (LO).
LD - Top cam
UP - Center cam
• Adjust the control rods and the actuator rod to obtain the correct UP setting

Fuel is stored in integral fuel tanks in each wing. The tanks each have a capacity of approximately 85
US gallons (321 liters).
A fuel collector tank with an integral auxiliary fuel pump is installed in the fuselage. Fuel passes through
a fuel shut-off valve to the engine driven fuel pump.
Water in the fuel is allowed to drain to a water collector tank through lines installed at the lowest point in
each fuel tank and from a line in the bottom of the collector tank. A drain valve is installed in the bottom
of the tank.
A. Main Tanks
The tanks are located in the area enclosed by main and auxiliary spars, and ribs 1 and 7A. Two
access panels and a filler port are located on the upper surface of each tank, and a float actuated
fuel quantity transmitter is mounted on the inboard rib of each tank.
The inboard section of each tank is vented through the same vent on top of the fuselage. The
outboard part of each tank is vented through a float vent valve. The valve closes when fuel
reaches the valve and opens when fuel is removed.
The tanks are connected to a fuel collector tank and a water collector tank.
The fuel collector tank is installed in the rear fuselage and is connected to each fuel tank by a
separate pipe. A connection in the bottom of the tank is connected to the water collector tank.
An electrically powered auxiliary fuel pump is installed in the bottom of the tank.
A vent is installed in the top of the tank which attaches to a pipe which connects to the outward
vent system.
The water collector tank is installed below the collector tank in the rear fuselage. A pipe carries
fuel from the lowest point of each tank, and also from the collector tank to let water collect in the
tank.
A 28V DC electrically operated fuel pump (booster pump) is installed in the collector tank. The
pump is operated when high flow rates of fuel are required. It also provides a back-up facility if
the engine driven pump fails.
The pump is controlled by the AUX F PUMP switch on the instrument panel. When the pump is
energized, the caption AUX F PUMP in the annunciator panel, comes on.

E. Shut-Off Valve
A shut-off valve is located in the engine feed line to the engine at the fireproof bulkhead. The
valve is manually operated from the cockpit and gives an isolation function for an emergency or,
for removing an engine compartment component without draining the fuel system.
F. Fuel Filter
An fuel filter is installed in the engine compartment before the engine driven fuel pump. The filter
removes solid contamination and is installed with a bypass relief valve.
The fuel flow transmitter is installed between the fuel filter and the engine-driven fuel pump. It
supplies electrical signals which are in proportion to the rate of fuel flow. These signals are
transmitted to the signal conditioner.
The signal conditioner changes the frequency signals in to an analog output which is displayed
on the fuel flow indicator and the fuel used totalizer.
The fuel flow indicator displays fuel flow rate and the fuel used totalizer shows the total fuel used.
The totalizer can be reset to zero.
A low pressure fuel pump is installed on the engine to give a continuous supply of fuel to the high
pressure fuel pump which supplies the fuel control unit. The pump is a vane type with an integral
bypass to allow fuel flow through the pump if there is a failure.
The fuel quantity indicating system comprises: a float-operated fuel quantity transmitter, a fuel
quantity indicator, a fuel flow meter and a fuel used totalizer.
The fuel quantity transmitter is mounted on the inboard bulkhead of each wing tank.
The fuel quantity indicator, fuel flow meter and the fuel used totalizer are located on the right side
of the instrument panel.
J. Vent System
A modified vent system is installed on the collector tank. A vent line is added between the
outward vent system and the top of the collector tank to let the collector tank fill after prolonged
flight in extreme nose up or down attitudes.
Fuel is supplied from forward and rear outlets in each tank to make sure there is a continuous supply of
fuel flows at all aircraft attitudes.
Fuel is supplied from the rear outlet in each tank to the fuel collector tank. The front outlets in each tank
supply fuel through the water collector tank to the fuel collector tank.
The position of the two integral fuel tanks gives gravity fuel flow through the collector tank to the engine.
A vent installed in the top of the collector tank, lets the tank fill quickly after prolonged flight at extreme

nose up or down operation. Fuel flows from the auxiliary fuel pump in the collector tank and then
through the shut-off valve to a fuel filter.
The fuel filter has a bypass valve to let fuel flow if the filter becomes clogged. The increased pressure
opens the bypass valve and closes a switch to light up the F FILTER caution caption on the annunciator
panel.
Fuel pressure is sensed between the engine driven pump and the fuel control assembly high pressure
pump. Low fuel pressure is indicated when the FUEL PRESS caution caption illuminates on the
annunciator panel.
Fuel flow is measured by a flow transmitter installed downstream of the fuel filter. Signals from the
transmitter drive the fuel flow indicator and the fuel used totalizer positioned on the instrument panel.
The low pressure engine driven fuel pump supplies fuel to the high pressure fuel pump in the engine
fuel system.

1. General
The optional underwing fuel system stores fuel in underwing tanks. The tanks each have a usable
capacity of 246 liters (64 US Gals).
A. Underwing Tank
The tanks are installed on attachment points under each wing pylon. The tanks are of light alloy
construction and contain a filter, a filler cap and a drain valve. An access panel is installed on the
side of the tank. The fuel filter in the bottom of the tank prevents contamination of the main fuel
system.
B. Fuel Pump
A electrical fuel pump is installed in each wing outboard of the main tank. The fuel pumps supply
the wing tanks with fuel from the underwing tanks. The pump has an integral filter.
C. Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is located adjacent to each fuel pump. The pressure switch is used to
illuminate the L FUEL FLOW or R FUEL FLOW caption and switch the fuel pump off.
Page 1
28-15-00 Jul 30/15
PC-6
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
D. Check Valves
A check valve is installed between each fuel pump and underwing tank. The check valve stops
the fuel returning to the underwing tank when the fuel pump stops.
E. Time-Delay Relays
A time-delay relay is installed in each wing. A 30 second time delay, allows pressure changes to
stop on and off operation of the fuel pumps.
The three position START/ON/OFF switches identified LH PUMP and RH PUMP are installed on
the RH instrument panel. The switches give control of the system.
A two position EMER/NORMAL switch is also installed on the RH instrument panel. The switch
gives a direct 28V DC supply to the fuel pumps during an emergency.
When the contents of the main tanks are less than three quarters full, the float switch contacts are
closed.
Fuel transfer starts when the EXTERNAL FUEL CONTROL LH PUMP(RH PUMP) switch is moved to
START. The closed switch contacts give a 28V DC supply to energize the time-delay relay. The
closed contacts of the time-delay relay give a supply to the fuel pump and the pump operates.
Operation of the pump causes the pressure switch contacts to change over, and the L FUEL FLOW
(R FUEL FLOW) caption goes off, and the LF PUMP (RF PUMP) caption comes on.
When the EXTERNAL FUEL CONTROL LH PUMP(RH PUMP) switch is released to the ON position,
the time-delay relay stays energized through the 28V DC supply routed through the closed contacts of
the float switch and the pressure switch.
Fuel is transferred until the supply to the time-delay relay is broken by the pressure switch sensing a
low pressure situation, or when the float switch contacts open (wing tank full). This causes the L FUEL
FLOW (R FUEL FLOW) caption to come on and the LF PUMP (RF PUMP) caption to go off. A 30
second time-delay prevents unnecessary operation of the time-delay relay. Transfer of fuel can be
stopped by selecting the applicable LH PUMP(RH PUMP) switch to off.
During an emergency the EXTERNAL FUEL CONTROL EMER/NORMAL switch can be selected to
the EMERG position to give a 28V DC supply direct to each fuel pump. This supply by-passes the
normal switches, float switches, pressure switches and time-delay relay to operate both pumps
directly.

(If installed)
The APIBOX is a flight data and monitoring system, similar to a Cockpit Voice and Flight Data
Recorder (CVFDR).
NOTE: The APIBOX System does not fulfil any specific requirements of a certified CVFDR.
The recorded data is stored on a SD memory card and on a crash and fire-proof memory unit.
With the corresponding debriefing software, the data can be read from the SD memory card to
provide post-flight analysis.
The central advisory and warning system (CAWS) uses lighted warning, caution and advisory
captions to alert and inform the pilot of any aircraft system faults. An aural warning is also given
to the pilot when a warning or caution caption comes on.
The stall warning system gives the pilot an aural warning when the aircraft approaches a stall
condition.

• A recording unit (APIV2)
• An indicating and data retrieval unit (APISD)
• A main sensors unit and a turbine data acquisition unit (APICAP and i2050)
Figure 1 shows a simplified schematic of the system with all inputs and outputs.
2. Component Description
The power supply unit is supplied with 28 VDC from the BATTERY HOT BUS via the API PWR
circuit breaker, and from the BATTERY BUS via the API circuit breaker.
This unit is located in the radio rack and supplies 12 VDC to the other units of the APIBOX
system. It has:
This unit is located in the radio rack. It has two SD memory cards installed, one of which is in a
crash and fire-proof part of the unit. Up to 70 hours of flight data and audio signal can be stored,
dependant on the recording setting.
This unit is located on the RH side of the cockpit instrument panel. It consists of two LED
indicator lights (green and red), a seven-segment numeric-display, a push button and a SD
memory card slot. The green LED stays ON to indicate that the system has electrical power and
is working normally. The red LED is only used for test purposes and is normally OFF. The
numeric display shows system status and failure codes. A SD memory card can be inserted in
the unit to record the same data as the recording unit. This card can be removed after flight for
post-flight analysis.

The APICAP unit is installed behind the RH side of the cockpit instrument panel. It records
barometric data, incorporates a 3-axis accelerometer, and collects data from:
The i2050 unit is installed in the cockpit, on the RH side of FR1, and collects the following engine
data:
The collected data from the two units are sent via a proprietary bus to the recording unit and also
to the indicating and data retrieval unit.
Two event switches are installed in the cockpit, one adjacent to the PFD and one adjacent to the
MFD. These are used to mark special or unusual events during flight.
3. Operation
The system starts when the Battery Master Switch is set to ON. The green LED indicator on the
indicating and data retrieval unit flashes for up to 30 seconds and then stays ON to show the system is
functional and has started recording. When the system is recording it cannot be switched OFF.
Recording stops automatically when the Battery Master Switch is set to OFF and the aircraft stops
moving.
If the system continues to operate after the aircraft has stopped, the system can be shut down by
pushing the OFF button on the power supply unit.
After flight, the SD card in the indicating and data retrieval unit can be removed and analysed using
debriefing software. The internal memeory in the recording unit can be accessed by connecting a
laptop computer to the unit via RS232.

1. General
The stall warning system gives the pilot an aural and visual warning as the aircraft approaches a stall
condition. The system has these components:
•
A stall warning detector
•
A buzzer
•
A stall warning indicator
The system is supplied with 28V DC from the BATTERY BUS through the STALL WARN circuit breaker.
The stall warning detector is installed on the lower surface of the left wing . The stall warning
detector contains a vane that protrudes into the airflow. Inside the stall warning detector is a set
of contacts that will move dependent on vane position. Two screws and nuts attach the stall
warning detector to the wing . Access to the two electrical connections is throug h the adjacent
access panel.
A stall warning indicator with the words STALL PUSH TO TEST on the front of the indicator is
installed in the left instrument panel.
C. Buzzer
The buzzer is installed on a bracket below the left instrument panel in the footwell. Four screws
attach the buzzer to a bracket. The three electrical connections are at the rear of the buzzer.
During usual operation power from the BATTERY BUS supplies 28V DC to the stall warning indicator
and the buzzer. When the aircraft approaches a stall condition, the direction of the airflow causes the
vane to move upwards, which makes a contact in the stall warning detector. This connects a ground to
operate the buzzer and the stall warning indicator. This g ives the pilot aural and visual warning of a
stall condition.
A test can be made of the stall warning indicator and the buzzer when you press and hold the STALL
WARNING caption.

1. General
The horizontal-stabilizer trim warning-system gives the pilot an aural and visual warning if the
horizontal-stabilizer trim is not correct for take-off. The system includes these components:
• Weight-on-wheels switch
• Wiper plate or contact plates
• Proximity switch
• Warning tone generator
• Lighted switch
The system is supplied with 28V DC from the BATTERY BUS through the TRIM WARN circuit breaker.
A. Weight-on-Wheels Switch
The weight-on-wheels (WOW) switch is installed between the V-struts of the main landing gear.
The WOW switch stops the trim warning-system operating during flight.
B. Wiper Plate
Pre-SB 31-001
The wiper plate is installed at the front of the LH rib of the horizontal-stabilizer adjacent to the LH
fairing at the rear of the fuselage. The wiper plate indicates the range of movement of the
horizontal-stabilizer for the proximity switch.
C. Contact Plates
Post-SB 31-001
The contact plates are installed at the front of the LH rib of the horizontal-stabilizer adjacent to
the LH fairing at the rear of the fuselage. The contact plates indicate the range of movement of
the horizontal-stabilizer for the proximity switch. The upper and lower contact plates are
adjustable to let the threshold for nose-up and nose-down be adjusted.
D. Proximity Switch
The proximity switch is installed in the LH fairing of the rear fuselage. The proximity switch
detects the position of the horizontal-stabilizer.
The warning tone generator is installed below the RH instrument panel. The warning tone
generator gives an aural warning to the pilot.
F. Lighted Switch
The lighted switch is installed either at the left of the standby magnetic compass, or to the right of
the row of lighted switches below the standby magnetic compass. The lighted switch gives a
visual warning to the pilot.
The K100 relay is mounted adjacent to the warning tone generator. The relay which has a 20
second delay, opens or closes the circuit to the warning tone generator and the lighted switch.
3. Operation
The BATTERY BUS supplies 28V DC power to the warning tone generator (A100), TRIM WARN lighted
push-switch (DS100), 20 second delay relay (K100) and the proximity switch (S100).
During flight, the WOW switch is in the AIR position and so there is no ground to the circuit. The relay is
de-energized and there is no power supply to the warning tone generator and the lighted push-switch.
When the aircraft is on the ground, the WOW switch is in the GND position which grounds the circuit. If
the trim is not in the correct range for takeoff 20 seconds after landing or 20 seconds after the system is
electrically energized, the proximity switch closes. The relay is then energized, the circuit closes and
power is supplied to the warning tone generator and the lighted push-switch to warn the pilot.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A fixed landing gear with two main wheels and a single movable tail wheel is installed. Shock struts are
installed on the main and tail gear to absorb landing and taxiing shocks. The main wheel assemblies
have hydraulic disc brakes installed which are operated from the pilots and co-pilots rudder pedals.
Tail wheel steering is operated through the rudder pedal and can be disconnected from the cockpit.
When disconnected the tail wheel is locked in the central position.
Each main leg has a hinged V-strut and an oil/spring shock strut.
A. V-Struts
The V-struts are triangular shaped, steel alloy tubes, welded together. The V-struts are installed
within bearing blocks fitte d to the underside of the fuselage. The rear pivot is threaded to permit
adjustment of V-strut axial play.
Fairings are installed to the forward and rear V-strut attachment points on the underside of the
fuselage. This is to prevent contamination of the bearing blocks with dust particles and to
reduce drag.
A wheel axle, a shock strut attachment lug and a ski attachment bracket are welded to the
outboard end of the V-strut.
B. Shock Strut
The upper end of each shock strut is attached to a bracket installed on the side of the fuselage.
The lower end of each shock strut is bolted to the attachment lug on the V-strut.
Suspension is given by a large coil spring installed in the shock absorber cylinder. This is
Installed between the cylinder base and the strut piston head.
C. Brake System
Hydraulically operated disc brakes are operated by toe pedals mounted on the rudder bar. The
parking brake is actuated by a cable operated control (Ref. 32-42-00, Page Block 1).
The tail landing gear is installed at the rear of the aircraft (Ref. 32-70-00, Page Block 1) .
3. Operation
When landing or taxiing, the struts will compress the coil spring and force oil through a hole in the
piston head. This gives shock absorption and damping. On the extension, or return stroke, the oil
returns through a restrictor valve to the lower side of the strut. As the strut nears maximum extension,
the cushioning spring compresses and damps the extension movement.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A hydraulically operated brake system is installed in the aircraft. The brake system operates a brake
assembly installed on each wheel and is operated by brake pedals installed on the rudder bar
assembly.
Aircraft with dual systems have master cylinders and pedals installed on the co-pilots position. Dual
systems have shuttle valves installed to connect the brake lines and to make a single brake line to each
brake assembly.
Park brake valves and a remote reservoir, with a distribution piece, are also installed. On some aircraft,
the reservoir and the park brake valve are contained in the master cylinder.
A. Master Cylinder
The master cylinders are installed on the rudder bar assembly. The piston of each master
cylinder is attached to the fixed top bar of the assembly and the cylinder body is attached to one
arm of a bell-crank lever. The brake pedal forms the other arm of the bell-crank.
B. Reservoir
The brake system has either an external reservoir installed on the pilots rudder control assembly
or, a reservoir which is part of the master cylinder.
With an external reservoir, hydraulic fluid is supplied to the brake master cylinder through the
distribution piece.
C. Shuttle Valve
Aircraft with dual systems have shuttle valves installed where the left and right brake pipes make
a single brake line to the wheel brake unit. They are installed to the cockpit floor brackets found
below the pilots rudder bar assembly.
D. Brake Assembly
The brake unit is machined from magnesium alloy and bolted to the torque flange on the V-strut
axle. It is equipped with an inlet port on the right or left side and can be installed on either side of
the aircraft.
The brake assembly contains a rotating steel disc which is keyed to rotate with the wheel.
Aircraft without SB104 have single cylinder brake units. Aircraft with SB104 have dual cylinder
brake units.

'e Pl LATUS !5!lF
PC-6
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
E. Brake Disc
A steel disc is installed at each brake unit. When the wheel is installed, the disc is keyed to the
wheel so that it rotates with the wheel.
The disc rotates between two brake linings to give brake action when the brakes are applied. The
disc is allowed to move laterally to make sure that there is equal pressure on both brake linings
and to compensate for lining wear.
F. Parking Brake
Where an external reservoir is installed, two park brake valves are installed on to the pilots
rudder pedal assembly. One valve is positioned in each fluid supply line to the associated wheel
brake units.
An integral park brake is installed to each master cylinder which has an integral reservoir.
With the brake pedals pushed in, the master cylinders move up and cause the piston in each cylinder to
travel down. As a result, pressure is increased and closes the circular plate valve. This forces hydraulic
fluid through the brake lines to the disc brakes. When pressure is released from the pedals, the spring,
acting against the head of the piston, pushes the cylinder down and opens the circular plate valve. This
lets the fluid return to the reservoir.
On dual systems, the pilots and co-pilots brake systems are connected with shuttle valves. When the
pilot operates the brakes, pressure builds up within the system and hydraulic fluid moves the shuttle to
open the brake line to the brake unit. The co-pilot can override the pilots braking by use of a greater
force to the brake pedals. When brake pressure is released, hydraulic fluid flows back into the reservoir
located on the top of the pilots rudder bar support.
To apply the park brake, the pilots brake pedals are operated, the park brake handle is pulled and then
the brake pedals are released. The system is released when the pilots brakes are applied, the park
brake handle is pushed in and then the brake pedals are released.

1. General
A tail landing gear has a single wheel installed in a trailing arm suspension unit.
A shock strut is used to give suspension for the tail wheel. The tail wheel is connected by cables to the
rudder controls to give tail wheel steering. The tail wheel can be locked in a central position for take off
and landing.
A debris guard can be installed to protect the tail landing gear during take off and landing. This guard
must be installed if the aircraft is used for parachute operations.
Strut housing, shock strut, trailing arm, tail wheel and a tail steering system.
A. Shock Strut
I
H2 aircraft have a spring strut which uses a coil spring and H4 aircraft have a pneumatic strut
which uses air for suspension as the spring. Both struts use oil to control the movement of the
strut.
The strut is contained within the strut housing. The strut is pivot-mounted at its upper end and
attached to the trailing arm at its lower end.
B. Strut Housing
The upper part of the strut housing is installed in to a bearing mounting block which is bolted to
the fuselage bulkhead.
The lower part of the strut housing has installed the trailing arm and the tail wheel steering
mechanism. The strut housing moves within a cam plate which is attached to the fuselage
bulkhead.
C. Trailing arm
The trailing arm is located at the lower end of the strut housing. The trailing arm is fork shaped
and is hinged to an arm which extends from the strut housing. The trailing arm has the tail wheel
installed.
A mud guard is also installed and is attached to both the trailing arm fork and the trailing arm
lever.
The tail wheel steering systems gives the aircraft change in direction when taxiing and is
operated from the rudder controls.
With movement of the rudder controls, steering forces are applied to the tail wheel strut housing
by cables. These cables have compression springs attached to the rudder torque tube and
transmit the steering forces through the steering lever to the tail wheel strut housing.

cam plate
locking lever.
A two position tailwheel handle, located on the left side of the pilots seat, can be set to either STEER or
LOCK mode.
When the handle is pulled rearward, STEER mode is set. Tension in the control cable causes the
locking lever to lift against a spring loaded pin and to disengage from the slot in the strut housing
flange. This releases the tail leg. At the same time, the rear end of the locking lever is moved down to
let the steering lever engage with the steering slot in rear of the strut housing flange.
Rudder torque tube movement is now transmitted by the steering cables to the engaged steering lever
to rotate the tail leg housing with in its bearing mounting block and cam plate.
Movement of the tail leg is limited to25° either side of center. This is limited by cams installed on the
locking lever. These cams will raise the steering lever out of the steering slot to disengage the tail
wheel steering from the rudder system. The tail leg can now turn more than25°.
When the handle is pushed forward, LOCK mode is set. Tension in the control cable is released and
the locking lever is pushed down by a sprung pin. The locking lever is then engaged in to the slot in the
strut housing and the tail leg is engaged. At the same time, the rear end of the locking lever is moved
up to let the steering lever disengage with the steering slot in the strut housing flange. Rudder torque
tube movement is transmitted to the disengaged steering lever without movement to the tall leg.

1. General
There is no standard compartment lighting system. The system is dependent on the requirements of
the operator. A typical compartment lighting system has the following subsystems:
Two identical overhead light assemblies are installed in the aircraft, one located centrally in the
cockpit and one in the cabin RH side.
Both lights are controlled simultaneously from the CABIN LIGHT switch located on the cockpit
LH side panel. When selected to the up position (on) switches 28V DC to the cockpit, cabin and
CB panel illumination lights from the generator busbar via the circuit breaker which is placarded
FLOOD LIGHT and is located on the GENERATOR BUS CB panel. When the CABIN LIGHTS
switch is set to the down (off) position, the cockpit and cabin lights extinguish and the CB panel
illumination lights are powered and controlled by the dimmer control potentiometer/control box
(DC/DC converter).
B. Utility Light
The utility light is clipped to a mounting on the LH side of the cockpit above the pilot's position.
The utility light has a coiled, flexible lead allowing it to be unclipped from its mounting and moved
about the cockpit as required.
28V DC power is supplied to the light from the battery busbar via a circuit breaker placarded
UTILITY LIGHT. Within the light's housing a variable resistor/switch is used to switch the light on
or off and to vary the intensity of illumination. The intensity of illumination is adjusted by rotating
the base of the light through 360° travel. The off position is identified by a detent 'click' at the end
of its rotation.
C. Instrument Lighting
The instrument lighting system comprises a two-position INSTR LIGHTS switch, a rotary-
movement INSTR LIGHTS dimmer control, both located on the cockpit LH side panel, and a DC
to DC converter located forward of the LH instrument panel mounted on the aft side of frame

1. General
There is no standard compartment lighting system. The system is dependent on the requirements of
the operator. A typical compartment lighting system has the following subsystems:
Two identical overhead light assemblies are installed in the aircraft, one located centrally in the
cockpit and one in the cabin RH side.
Both lights are controlled simultaneously from the INTERNAL LIGHTS - CABIN switch located on
the cockpit LH side panel. When selected to CABIN, the switch connects 28V DC to the cockpit,
cabin and CB panel lights (from the generator busbar) through the CKPT CABIN LIGHT circuit
breaker (on the GENERATOR BUS CB panel). When the CABIN switch is set to OFF, the
cockpit and cabin lights go off and the CB panel lights are powered and controlled by the dimmer
control potentiometer/control box (DC/DC converter).
B. Utility Light
The utility light is clipped to a mounting on the LH side of the cockpit above the pilot's position.
The utility light has a coiled, flexible lead allowing it to be unclipped from its mounting and moved
about the cockpit as required.
28V DC power is supplied to the light from the battery busbar via a circuit breaker placarded
UTILITY LIGHT. Within the light's housing a variable resistor/switch is used to switch the light on

The basic exterior lighting system comprises the following subsystems which are described in the
paragraphs that follow:
A. Landing Lights
The landing lights/motor assemblies are flush-mounted to the lower surface of each wing.
The right-wing landing-light is optional. Two sets of two switches control the operation of
the lights. Each set of switches comprises a LANDING LIGHT - on/off switch and a
LANDING LIGHT POS - UP/OFF/DOWN control switch, one set for each light. The
switches for the right-wing landing-light are optional.
By using the LANDING LIGHT POS - UP/OFF/DOWN switch, each light can be actuated
through 90° from its vertically downward pointing position to fully forward and can be
stopped at any position in between. Power for the LH landing light and its motor is supplied
by the battery busbar via circuit breaker which supplies 28V DC to the on/off and UP/
DOWN switches. The on/off switch supplies the 28V DC directly to the lamp when
switched to the on position. The UP/OFF/DOWN switch supplies 28V DC to either the UP
or DOWN inputs of the motor which will actuate it in forward or reverse directions
accordingly.
Power for the RH landing light and its motor is supplied by the generator busbar via circuit
breaker CB004. Operation is identical to the LH landing light system described above.
The LED landing lights are installed in the leading edge of each wing. The right-wing
landing-light is optional. The landing lights are controlled by the LANDING LIGHT - LH and
RH on/off switches.
Power for the left-wing landing-light is supplied from the battery busbar via circuit breaker
CB003 which supplies 28V DC to the on/off switch. The on/off switch supplies the 28V DC
directly to the LED lamp when switched to the on position.
Power for the optional right-wing landing-light is supplied from the generator busbar via
circuit breaker CB004. Operation is identical to the LH landing light system described
above.
The POS/STROBE switch is used to illuminate the position lights only (POS), or the position
lights together with the strobe lights (STROBE). The position lights and strobe light power
supplies are powered by separate 28V DC busbars to ensure operation of at least one system in
the event of a single busbar failure. The power supplies convert the 28V DC to the high-energy
pulses required by the strobe lights. The SYNCH inputs of each power supply are linked to
synchronize the strobe lights.
The battery busbar supplies 28V DC to the tail position light via the POS/STROBE switch and to
the left and right position lights via the respective wing power supplies. Circuit protection is
provided by a circuit breaker which is placarded NAV LIGHTS. The generator busbar supplies
power to the strobe light power supplies.
C. Beacon Lights
Pre SB 33-003:
• Two incandescent red rotating beacons, located on the upper and lower fuselage
• A BEACON switch located on the cockpit LH side panel
Both beacons are connected to the BEACON/NAV circuit breaker for lighting and motor
power via the BEACON switch.
Post SB 33-003:
• Two flashing red LED fixed beacons, located on the upper and lower fuselage
• A BEACON switch located on the cockpit LH side panel
Both beacons are connected to the BEACON/NAV circuit breaker via the BEACON switch.

The basic exterior lighting system comprises the following subsystems which are described in the
paragraphs that follow:
A. Landing Lights
Aircraft with incandescent motorized landing lights - Pre SB 33-002 (Ref. Fig. 1, Sht. 1):
The aircraft has a landing light/motor assembly flush-mounted on the underside of the LH
wing (a RH wing landing light is optional). Two switches, LANDING LIGHTS - ON/OFF and
LANDING LIGHTS - UP/ OFF/DOWN control the operation of the light(s). The switches
are installed on the cockpit LH side panel. If the optional RH landing light is installed, the
switches control the two landing lights.
With the LANDING LIGHTS - UP/OFF/DOWN switch you can move the light(s) through
90° from the vertically downward pointing position to fully forward, and stop at any position
in between. Power for the LH landing light and its motor is supplied by the battery busbar
through the circuit breaker which supplies 28V DC to the two switches. The ON/OFF
switch supplies the 28V DC directly to the light(s) when switched to the ON position. The
UP/OFF/DOWN switch supplies 28V DC to either the UP or DOWN inputs of the motor to
turn it in the forward or reverse direction.

The pitot-static system supplies pressure in proportion to airspeed and altitude to aircraft systems.
The system has these components:
• A pitot head
• The altimeter(s)
2. Component Description
A. Pitot Head
The pitot head supplies the pitot pressure, through pipelines, to the aircraft systems. The pitot
head is installed on the lower surface of the left wing and points in the direction of flight. The pitot
head is a metal hollow probe installed on an aerodynamically-shaped support. The pitot head
has an electrical connector, a heating element and a pitot connection.
B. Static Ports
The static ports supply static pressure, through pipelines, to the aircraft systems. They are
installed each side of the rear fuselage. The static ports are connected together to keep
pressure errors, because of aircraft yaw, to a minimum. Each static port has a flat face with
pressure inlet holes, a heating element and a static connection.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The procedure must be done on an approved compass calibration area using either a compass rose or
datum compass to give the aircraft heading.
The datum compass must be approximately 25 meters (75 feet) from the aircraft and aligned with the
aircraft's longitudinal axis at each heading. The compass reading is then compared with the datum
compass reading.
When you use a datum compass it is not necessary for the aircraft to be exactly on the applicable swing
heading. Sightings taken within ± 2° of the heading are acceptable.
NOTE: When you use a datum compass you must remember to make allowance for the direction you
are facing when you calculate the datum heading. Depending on the type of datum compass
in use it may indicate 180° if you are facing the nose of the aircraft when it is positioned on a
heading of 000°.
NOTE: A worked example of how to complete a compass swing data sheet and calculate the
coefficients is given at Fig. 502.

OXYGEN SYSTEM
1. General
Oxygen is stored in two cylinders installed in the rear fuselage. Both cylinders have shutoff valves and
are charged from an external point on the left hand side of the rear fuselage. A system pressure gauge
is mounted at the charging point.
A reducing regulator valve Is installed in the rear fuselage, with a selector valve and demand and
constant flow connectors in the cockpit.
A pressure gauge is installed in the cockpit to show the Pressure in the oxygen bottles.
2. Component Description
The external charging point is accessible through a hinged access panel on the left hand side of
the rear fuselage. The charging valve incorporates a non-return valve and a foced diameter
orifice. Fitted to the charging valve, via a chain, is a screw thread adaptor and a dust cap.
B. Oxygen Cylinders
Each oxygen cylinder is retained by two metal straps onto two brackets which are located aft of
frame 6. Each cylinder has a shut off valve and a pressure gauge. The pressure gauge has a
range of O to 2000 psi.
The regulators purpose is to reduce the pressure of 1800 psi or less to between 70 and 75 psi
which can then be used for oxygen breathing equipment.
D. Demand Regulator
The demand flow regulator is designed to operate on a pressure of between 25 and 85 psi
providing a flow of 100 Liters/minute of oxygen. It functions for any type of demand mask that
has an altitude range from sea level to 36,000 feet. The demand system will be most efficient
between 28,000 to 36,000 feet. The rate of flow through the regulator is governed by the
Individuals requirement.
Two face masks with microphones are provided for the pilot and the copilot. Each mask is
connected to Its respective demand regulator outlet via a hose assembly. Oxygen will flow to
the face demand mask only on inhalation. The automatic demand regulator will adjust Itself to
the breathing of the individual and provide the right flow-rate to his rate of breathing. The mask
can be taken off with no loss of oxygen while the mask is connected to the regulator's outlet.
Six or nine constant flow masks can be attached to the outlets located in the overhead rear
cabin outlets. Flow Indicators are used in oxygen tubes to the mask. A red warning indication
shows if there is no flow of oxygen to the mask. The standard connection at each constant flow
mask has a calibrated metering orifice. A therapeutic connection, providing 3 times as much

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
flow as the standard connection, should be used for persons having a respiratory or cardiac
condition. To prevent passage of foreign matter and clogging of the calibrated metering orifice,
a filter screen is provided in each outlet. If not in use, a constant flow mask must be
disconnected from the outlet to prevent discharge.
3. Operation
High pressure oxygen is taken from the cylinders, through stainless steel tubes to a reducing regulator
valve, mounted on the aft face of frame 6. Low pressure oxygen is then piped through light alloy tubes,
to an electrical pressure transducer which signals to a system contents gauge located on the cockpit
instrument panel. LP oxygen from the regulator is also passed direct to an ON/OFF selector valve
located in an outlet control box above the crew seats. The control box also houses two constant flow
connections and two demand oxygen connections for crew use. Oxygen for passenger use is fed from
the crew control box to three outlet assemblies located in the cabin ceiling, adjacent to each pair of
seats.

The vacuum system is installed to power the attitude indicator and directional gyro. Engine bleed air is
used to produce the vacuum.
• Pressure regulator
• Ejector
• Check valve
• Suction regulator
• Air filter
Either a vacuum gauge or an annuciator panel caption can be installed on the instrument panel to
monitor the operation of the system.
2. Operation
Engine bleed air, taken from the engine compressor, is reduced in pressure to 15 psi by a pressure
regulator. The air then goes through an ejector to an overboard dump outlet. Low pressure is created
in the ejector as the air goes through a venturi.
A tube is connected to the venturi, and the low pressure caused by the air gives a lower pressure in the
tube.
This low pressure tube is connected to the attitude indicator and directional gyro through a checkvalve
and a suction regulator. Air enters the attitude indicator and directional gyro through an air filter and is
used to turn the gyros.
The suction regulator maintains the vacuum pressure to a value between 4.5 and 5.2 in. Hg.
A check valve is installed to prevent damage to the attitude indicator if the connection to the overboard
dump outlet is blocked or if the pressure regulator is defective.
If installed, a caption SUCTION on the annunciator panel comes on if the vacuum is less than 4.5 in. Hg
or more than 5.2 in. Hg.

1. General
The aircraft has doors installed in the fuselage for access to the cockpit, cabin and the rear fuselage.
Doors are also installed under a removable cabin floor panel to allow special equipment to be installed
and for stores dropping.
The pilots door is installed on the left side of the fuselage and the co-pilots door on the right side. Both
doors are attached to the fuselage with an upper and lower hinge on the forward edge. The doors have
installed a fixed acrylic plastic window.
Interior and exterior door handles are installed to open the doors from inside or outside the aircraft.
The interior handle is spring-loaded and locks in a detent. The handle is pulled inboard and back to
open the door. A spring catch, installed on the rear of the main landing gear shock strut, holds the
door in the open position. The exterior handle is L-shaped and is directly connected to the interior
handle. To open the door with the exterior handle, the release button must be pushed to disengage the
interior handle from its detent.
An emergency jettison lever is located on the upper forward door frame. When this is operated the
upper door hinge pin disengages and lets the door to fall free of the aircraft.
3. Sliding Door
The door is of conventional metal construction and has two acrylic plastic windows installed. The door
can be installed on either or both sides of the fuselage. The top edge of the door moves within a guide
rail attached to the fuselage above the cabin door. The bottom of the door is held in position by a
guide rail attached to the fuselage below the door sill.
Stops installed to the ends of the guide rails limit the forward and rearward movement of the door. The
door can only be locked when in the closed position. The door lock is installed at the rear edge of the
door and engages a lock plate on the fuselage.
An internal and an external door handle is installed. To prevent inadvertent operation in flight, the
internal handle is held by spring tension into a detent and must be pulled free of the detent before it can
be turned.
Hinge cabin doors can be installed on either or both sides of the fuselage. Each door is attached to the
fuselage with two hinges and has an interior and exterior L-shaped door operating handle. When each
door handle is turned, it retracts a spring-loaded pin at the top and bottom edge of each door. These
pins engage in to the top and bottom fuselage structure when the doors are closed and latched.
At the same time, another pin engages the rear door lever and structure when the forward door is
closed and latched. The rear door lever is intended to prevent the rear door from in flight. The doors are
held in the open position by catches on the wing strut and on the side of the fuselage.
The cabin doors can be used as emergency exits and the airplane can be flown with the doors
removed.

5. Trap Doors
A removable floor panel, approximately 890 x 585 mm, is installed in the cabin floor. Below the floor
panel are trap doors installed to the bottom of the fuselage. The trap doors are hinged on the sides of
the fuselage and open outward.
The floor panel has a pull ring and cable assembly attached to a spring-loaded pin installed to the left
and right sides of the panel. The pins engage in to the floor structure and keep the panel in place, flush
with the cabin floor. Pulling the ring upward retracts the locking pins and disengages the panel from the
floor.
The trap door is attached to the fuselage bottom with a piano type hinge. The left door has a spring-
loaded locking pin on the inboard forward and rear edges of the door. These pins engage in the
fuselage structure to retain both doors in a closed and locked position. The locking pins are connected
to a bellcrank which is operated by a cable mechanism controlled from the left side of the pilot's seat.
The doors are closed using a door retraction assembly. The assembly consists of a U-shaped handle
and two spring-loaded cables. The handle, installed in a recess in the cabin floor at the forward end of
the hatch, is connected to cables attached to the forward inboard end of each door.
When the door release handle is pulled upward it disengages the left door locking pins from the
fuselage structure. This lets both doors fall open. To close and lock the doors, the U-shaped handle is
pulled upward. This closes the right door first and then engages the left door locking pins. The left
door holds the right door in the closed position.
A visual locking indicator is installed on the inside surface of the left door to show that the doors are
correctly closed and locked. The indicator has a red line on the head of the bellcrank pivot bolt, inside
the door, which is visible through a small sight glass . The doors are locked when the red line is in
parallel alignment with the two locking pins.
A hinged door on the right side of the rear fuselage gives access to the equipment compartment. The
door is approximately 685 mm high and 510 mm wide and is attached with a continuous hinge.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The wings are of conventional metal construction with integral fuel tanks. The wings are attached to the
fuselage with bolts and are braced with wing struts.
A. Wing Construction
The wings are of metal construction with a constant chord throughout the span. The wing rear
spar extends to the outboard end of the integral fuel tank to form the rear side the fuel tank.
Lightweight stringers stiffen the skin panels.
Wing torsion loads are carried by two parallel cells formed by the wing nose section and the box
section located rear of the main spar. Formed sheet metal ribs maintain the wing section shape
and let the wing box absorb hinge loads from the flaps and ailerons. The wings are covered with
a skin of sheet aluminium alloy.
A fixed spoiler of right angle shape, is permanently attached to the top of each wing trailing edge
forward of the flaps.
B. Wing Attachment
The wings are attached to the fuselage at their inboard end by a single bolt through each front
and rear spar. A strut extends from a fitting that projects from the lower surface of each wing to
the lower fuselage attachment fitting. These two struts let the fuselage structure absorb the
ground and flight loads.
C. Wing Flaps
Each wing has a slotted flap assembly installed inboard of the ailerons. Each flap assembly has
two sections which are joined together at the center. The flaps are made of aluminium ribs and
skin and have brackets installed at each end for the pivot bolts. All flap sections are
interchangeable except for some earlier aircraft where the inboard flaps are cut away along the
inner edge.
D. Ailerons
Each wing has an aileron assembly installed outboard of the flaps. Each aileron assembly has
two sections which are joined together at the center. The ailerons are made of aluminium ribs
and skin and have brackets installed at each end for the pivot bolts.
H4 aircraft have wing tip extensions made from fibreglass. These fairings must not have paint
applied that as an absorbtion factor of more than 0.6, as exposure to sunlight will cause the
fairing to get hot and weaken the fibreglass.

NOTE: The rear flange of the new fitting has five 8.0 mm diameter holes (A thru E). These
holes are pilot, positioning and alignment holes for the new fitting which align with the
holes of the wing spar.
The forward flange of the new fitting contains only one hole (F). This hole is used as an
alignment hole. The remaining four holes (G, H J and K) in the forward flange are drilled
during installation of the new fitting.
All holes in the new fitting are reamed to the final diameter together with the wing spar
holes for the tight fit bolt installation. All bolts must have the same diameter. If the fitting
was replaced before, the diameter of the existing holes in the new fitting must be
increased to match the wing spar hole diameter first.
(2) Determine the drill and reamer sizes necessary (Ref. Table 1) for the diameter measured
in Step 3.C.(1).

A 3 blade, variable pitch Hartzell HC-B3TN-3C or -3D propeller is installed. The propeller blades are
moved by oil and spring pressure between the feather and reverse positions. When the engine stops,
the blades move to the feathered position by spring pressure.
The propeller speed is controlled by a propeller governor which changes the blade pitch to maintain the
selected speed. A propeller control lever in the cockpit can be used to change the datum of the
propeller governor and give a different propeller speed. A beta valve is installed on the governor, and is
used to control the propeller during low and reverse pitch operation.
Propeller overspeed protection is given by an overspeed governor and free turbine (Nf) governor.
A. Propeller
The propeller has three blades, a spinner assembly and a spider hub unit. The propeller blades
are attached to the spider hub unit with clamps. To change pitch, each blade turns on a needle
roller bearing in the blade and a ball bearing within the blade clamp.
Pitch movement of the blades is controlled by the spider hub unit. The spider hub unit has a
feathering spring, blade position stops, and a hydraulic piston which is installed at the front end
of the propeller spider hub. The piston is connected to each blade by a link to the blade root. A
counterweight is attached to each blade clamp to assist the propeller blades to increase pitch.
Pitch change of the blades is controlled by the propeller governor, with an integral beta valve to
control movement to the reverse pitch position. A hydraulic low pitch stop is installed to prevent
reverse pitch until the power control lever is set to reverse pitch.
The propeller blade angles, taken at the 30 inch station marked on each blade are as follows:

B. Propeller Governor
The governor maintains the propeller at a constant speed and changes the pitch of the propeller
to match the load of the engine torque.
The governor controls the flow of oil to the propeller to maintain the set propeller speed. During
low airspeed operations the governor is used to select the required blade angle (beta control) by
adjusting the cockpit propeller control lever.
An oil pump and pressure relief valve are installed to give a supply to the governor. The pump is
driven from the governor drive shaft, which also drives a flyweight type centrifugal governor.
The flyweight governor is used to control the position of a pilot valve which meters the oil
pressure to the propeller to change the blade pitch. A speeder spring sets the datum for the
flyweight governor and the spring pressure is adjustable through the speed adjuster lever and
shaft, which is controlled by the propeller control lever. In the minimum position, the speed
adjuster shaft lifts the pilot valve to feather the propeller.
The propeller governor also has a free turbine (Nf) governor section, which reduces Nf speed if
the propeller overspeeds to 109% or more. This section of the governor bleeds Py air pressure
and so adjusts the fuel metering valve in the FCU to reduce engine power. The Nf governor has
an airbleed lever operated by the flyweight governor, and an orifice lever controlled by the
airbleed lever. A reset post, on which the airbleed lever is installed, is used to reset the datum of
the Nf governor for reverse pitch operation.
For reverse pitch and beta range operation a beta valve is installed, which is attached to the
propeller controls and to the reversing ring on the propeller. The valve is used during operation in
the beta range. The valve controls the flow of oil to and from the propeller, and overrides normal
propeller governor operation.
The propeller overspeed governor is installed in parallel with the propeller governor and
functions as a safety device if the propeller governor fails. If propeller speed exceeds maximum
rpm, the overspeed governor will govern at 106% (2337 rpm).
When the engine is stopped, the feathering spring moves the piston fully in until the feathering
screws are contacted. As the piston is connected to each blade by an operating link, the blades
move to the feathered position.
When the engine is started, oil is supplied to the propeller governor under pressure. The
propeller governor is in an underspeed condition, so the oil is directed to the piston in the
propeller. This moves the piston and blades towards the minimum fine pitch position. As the
propeller speed increases the flyweights are forced out by centrifugal force. The propeller
governor stops the oil supply to the piston when the operating speed is reached. If the propeller
overspeeds, the governor lets oil go back to the sump, which reduces the pressure in the piston.
The feathering spring then moves the piston and blades to a coarser pitch.
With the engine at constant power, the governor is ‘on-speed’, and no oil is supplied to, or
released from the propeller, so the blade angle stays the same. If the propeller speed reduces,
the governor flyweights are forced inwards due to the speeder spring pressure and the pilot valve
is raised. This lets oil into the propeller and the blade pitch is reduced. This lets the propeller

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
speed increases until the flyweights on the governor are forced outwards and pilot valve moves
to stop the blade pitch change.
Movement of the propeller control lever into the beta range moves the airbleed link which resets
the Nf overspeed governor datum to a value less than the propeller governor. The beta valve
also moves forward which stops the flow of oil to and from the propeller. Further movement lets
oil drain from the propeller into the sump. The feathering spring moves the blades to a coarser
pitch and slows the propeller. As the pitch increases, the slipring moves back and moves the
beta valve back. As the governor is now underspeed, oil is supplied to the propeller to decrease
the blade pitch. The blade pitch decreases until the slipring moves forward and stops the supply
of oil, or until the reverse stop in the propeller is contacted. Power turbine speed (Nf) is controlled
during beta operation by the Nf governor section of the propeller governor.

1. General
This procedure for balancing the propeller has been developed by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd using a Vibrex
Balancing Kit, manufactured by the Chadwick-Helmuth Company, Ohio, USA, and equipment and data
supplied by Pilatus.
Dynamic balancing must not be used to replace a static balance of the propeller after overhaul.
The Vibrex equipment uses an accelerometer (velometer) and a magnetic pick-up to find the size and
position of the out-of-balance forces on the component. A display on a Balancer/Phazor unit shows the
size on a meter as Inches Per Second (IPS), and the position on a circle of 24 Phazor lights as a clock
angle.
This size and clock position of the out of balance force are used with graphs to find the size and the
position at which weights must be attached on the propeller backplate to give an acceptable balance.
With the accelerometer installed in the position shown, the balance of the propeller is satisfactory when
the size of the out of balance force is 0.2 IPS or less.
It can be necessary to modify the propeller bulkhead as shown (Ref. Fig. 503).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
I The powerplant in the PC-6 B2-H2 or B2-H4 has the following components:
Engine cowls.
A drains system.
2. Engine
The compressor has three axial and a single centrifugal stage which give a compression ratio of 7: 1. A
compressor bleed valve is installed to prevent compressor stall at low engine speeds.
The combustion section of the engine has an annular combustion chamber with 14 simplex fuel
nozzles. The combustion chamber turns the air through 180 degrees at the inlet and again through 180
degrees at the outlet.
The engine has two counter-rotating turbine sections, one driving the gas generator compressor, the
second driving the propeller through a reduction gearbox.
An accessory gearbox and engine oil tank are installed on the rear of the engine.
A propeller gearbox is installed on the front of the engine to reduce the engine speed for the three
blade variable pitch propeller.
3. Engine Mounts
The engine is attached to a machined aluminium mounting ring by three flexible shock mounts. The
mounting ring is attached to the fuselage with two bolts. Two support struts are attached to the
mounting ring and to the fuselage to support the engine.
The engine is mounted with its centreline 5 degrees nose down from the fuselage centreline.
4. Engine Installation
The engine is installed on two machined fuselage longerons which form the engine attachment and
main load bearing structure.
The engine has bulkheads which divide the engine compartment into three sections.
The engine mounted stainless steel front bulkhead isolates the engine hot (forward) section.
The rear bulkhead isolates the engine accessories (rear) section and comprises an engine mounted
stainless steel inner section and an airframe mounted outer section.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The engine compartment is separated from the fuselage by a stainless steel firewall.
5. Cowlings
Access to the engine is provided by four cowls. The cowls are at the top and bottom front, and the top
left and top right rear of the engine.
Quick release fasteners are installed on all the cowlings with support struts on the top left and top right
cowlings to hold the cowlings open.
6. Air Intake
Air enters the cowling and passes through ducts which turn the airflow up to the intake screens at the
rear of the engine via the intake plenum chamber.
Snow vanes can be installed in the bottom front cowling to prevent snow from entering the air ducts
and blocking the engine intake screens.
Air is also used to keep the area between the cowls and the engine cool.
7. Exhaust
Engine exhaust gas goes to atmosphere through two exhaust stubs, one on each side of the engine.
8. Drains
Two fuel drain valves are installed in the engine gas generator case. The valves are closed during
engine operation by P3 air pressure. When the engine is shutdown the valves open and let residual fuel
drain out through the two front end drain pipes.
Fuel dumped from the starting flow control unit on engine shutdown is retained in a fuel dump collector
tank. The tank is installed at the rear of the engine compartment and has a drain valve at the bottom of
the tank.
- HP fuel pump.
9. Operation
Air enters the lower forward engine cowl and goes up to the engine air intake.
The air is compressed by each stage of the compressor and goes through diffuser tubes. These turn
the air through 90 degree and increase the pressure.
Straightening vanes remove swir1 and the air then goes to the annulus between the combustion
chamber and the gas generator case.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The compressed air passes in to a reverse flow annular combustion chamber where fuel is injected and
the mixture ignited.
The resultant combustion gas is turned through 180 degrees in the combustion chamber outlet duct
and goes forward through the compressor and the power turbines.
The gas is then directed to atmosphere from the engine exhaust duct through two exhaust stubs.

CAUTION: LET THE ENGINE COOL AFTER SHUTDOWN FOR A MINIMUM OF 40 MINUTES OR UNTIL
ITT IS 65°C (150°F) OR LESS BEFORE A COMPRESSOR OR TURBINE WASH IS DONE.
1. General
This section gives details about engine compressor and compressor turbine washes. Compressor
washes are necessary to remove deposits from the compressor and turbine blades which could cause
damage to the blades or reduce engine power.
Desalination washes must be done after the last flight of the day.
The engine must be ground run after all compressor washes to fully dry the engine to prevent internal
corrosion.
Performance recovery washes must only be done after trouble-shooting has eliminated other causes of
low power. Performance recovery washes with the engine running must not be done.
2. Wash Frequency

The engine air intake can have sand filters installed to remove sand particles from the air flow to the
engine inlet. The filters prevent the erosion of the engine compressor and turbine blades which
reduces engine performance and life.
• Air inlet ducts for the oil cooler and air conditioning system in the lower fuselage
• A snow vane
The system gives no loss of performance during normal operation up to ISA +28°C (+43°C at sea
level). If operated outside these conditions there is a performance loss of up to 12% on take off
distance and 20% of climb performance.
The aircraft can be operated with the front filter and the deflector plate removed, with no loss of
performance at high temperatures.
A. Air Filters
Four filter assemblies, attached with quick-release (Dzus) fasteners, are installed in the lower
nose cowling. There is one filter in the normal inlet, one on the bottom of the cowling, and one on
each side of the cowling.
Each filter assembly has two filter elements supported in a frame and a cover plate to attach it to
the cowling. The filter element is a sheet of filter material between two sheets of steel mesh
folded to make a continuous 'W' section.
Rubber seals are used between the filters and the cowling and the cover plates.
An emergency by-pass flap is installed under the nose of the aircraft, rear of the nose cowling.
The flap is held closed by a latch mechanism that can be operated from the cockpit. When the
cockpit control is operated, the flap opens due to the action of a spring and the air flow, and
supplies air to the engine which is not filtered.
C. Deflector Plate
The deflector plate is installed in front of the front filter element. The plate protects the filter from
sand in the airflow from the forward movement of the aircraft and the propeller.

�PILATUS::s:'
PC-6
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
D. Snow vane
The snow vane must be installed if the aircraft flies in falling snow to stop a build up of snow on
the right side filter and the oil cooler intake. The snow vane replaces the cover assembly of the
right side filter.
The snow vane must be removed if the ambient temperature is more than 15° C (59° F).
Separate ducts are installed for the oil cooler and air conditioning inlets. One oil cooler duct is
installed on each side of the lower engine compartment, with the air conditioning duct on the left
side only.
3. Operation
The filters remove sand particles from the engine inlet air. If the filters get blocked, the torque produced
will decrease, and the emergency by-pass must be opened using the control in the cockpit. This lets
the engine get air which is not filtered.

debris.
D. Examine the filter for damage, deterioration or contamination of the filter elements:
• Reject the filter if the damage or deterioration will let particles into the engine
E. Examine the rubber seals on the engine cowling and the cover plate assembly - Repair or
replace as necessary.
G. Put the filter (2) in position in the engine cowling. Make sure that the filter is installed so that the
air flow arrow on the placard points in.
H. Install the cover plate (3) and secure the quick-release fasteners (1).

1. General
Aircraft with SB 164 have an emergency fuel-control system installed which lets the pilot control engine
power if there is a failure of either the mechanical power control system from the cockpit (PCL) or the
pneumatic control (Py) system in the engine fuel system.
The system has an electrical actuator installed on the engine, controlled from a switch panel next to the
engine control quadrant in the cockpit. The actuator is connected to a lever on the FCU which moves
the fuel metering valve.
The system gets a 28V DC supply from the generator busbar through a circuit breaker placarded
EMERG FCU.
A. Switch Panel
The switch panel is installed next to the engine control quadrant and has the emergency control
switches for the stabilizer trim and fuel control systems.
The two emergency fuel-control switches are installed on the lower half of the panel. One of the
switches has a guard to prevent accidental switch operation and sets the system on or off. The
switch is placarded ON/OFF. The other switch has three positions, and is spring loaded to the
center position. This switch controls the actuator extension and retraction and is placarded
INCREASE/DECREASE.
B. Actuator
The actuator is a linear type with internal limit switches to control the range of movement. With
the system set for normal operation the actuator is fully extended. The actuator retracts to
increase engine power.
The actuator is attached to the engine control cable support strut and operates a control lever on
the FCU which operates the fuel metering valve in the FCU.
During normal engine operation, with the guarded switch set to OFF, the 28V DC supply goes through
the switch to the decrease side of the actuator. If the actuator is not fully extended, the extend limit
switch will be closed and the actuator will extend until the limit switch operates. This makes sure that
the actuator is always fully extended when the system is set to OFF.
If the system is set to ON, the 28V DC supply goes to the three position INCREASE/DECREASE
switch. If the switch is moved to the INCREASE position, power is supplied through the retract limit
switch to operate the actuator. The actuator retracts until either the switch is released or the limit switch
operates. As soon as the actuator moves from fully extended position the extend limit switch contacts
close, which allows the actuator to extend when required or when the system is set to OFF.
As the actuator retracts to increase power, or extends to decrease power, it moves a lever on the FCU.
This lever moves the metering valve in the FCU to increase or decrease fuel flow.

1. General
• Hydro-Mechanical torquemeter
• Pressure Transducer
A. Torquemeter
The torquemeter is part of the reduction gearbox and has a piston, cylinder, valve plunger and
spring. The planet ring of the first stage of the gearbox is held in the rear case of the gearbox by
helical splines. When engine power changes the ring moves axially and moves the piston and
valve plunger. A bleed orifice in the top of the cylinder, which bleeds oil into the reduction
gearbox, prevents the formation of hydraulic locks.
B. P ressure Transducer
The pressure transducer converts the oil pressure into an electrical signal which the analogue/
digital torque indicator processes for display.
As engine power increases, the planet ring moves axially to the rear. This moves the piston and valve
plunger and opens a metering orifice which supplies engine oil pressure to the cylinder.
The oil pressure increases until it moves the piston forwards and reduces the flow of oil until there is a
balance between the oil pressure supply and the bleed from the cylinder through the bleed orifice.
T he pressure in the cylinder is sensed by the pressure transducer which changes the oil pressure into
an electrical signal.
Internal oilways take the pressures in the torquemeter and the reduction gearbox to bosses at the top of
the reduction gearbox.
The difference between the torquemeter pressure and the internal pressure in the reduction gearbox
accurately indicates the torque produced by the engine.
Torque pressure is converted into a voltage measurement and this signal is transmitted to the gauge on
the engine indicator panel in the flight compartment.

The lnterturbine Temperature {ITI) sensing system indicates the engine operating temperature (TS)
between the compressor turbine and the first stage power turbine stator. The ITI system gives
electrical signals to show the engine operating temperature (TS) with the ITI gauge on the annunciator
panel.
The system consists of a busbar and probe assembly, a wiring harness, an externally mounted terminal
block, and a trim harness incorporating a T1 thermocouple probe and a preset variable resistor. The T1
thermocouple/resistor is connected in parallel with the TS harness and is reset to bias the signal from
the TS harness to represent the inter-turbine temperature of the engine.
The busbar and probe assembly consists of eight alumel I chrome! thermocouple probes connected in
parallel by one positive (chrome!) and one negative (alumel) busbar. The probes protrude through
individual threaded bosses in the power turbine stator housing and into the compressor turbine
discharge air stream immediately in front of the first stage power turbine guide vane rings. The eight
probe locations are spaced around the housing at 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 and 11 o'clock positions and are
attached to bosses by a floating threaded fitting which forms an integral part of the assembly.
The harness assembly consists of single alumel and chrome! leads encased in a flexible shield. The
ends of the leads are welded to their respective alumel or chrome! terminal lugs. The terminal lugs are
attached to their connection points on the two busbars by stainless steel nuts and bolts. The lugs on the
lead ends are of different sizes so that they cannot be connected to the wrong terminal.
The individual leads are attached to the stator housing by clips. The leads pass through a tube which is
welded to the exhaust duct at the 1 O'clock position forward of frame 3. A stainless steel sleeve is
installed to centralise and protect the leads where they pass through tube. The outer ends of the leads
are connected to a terminal block on the gas generator.
The T1 trim thermocouple consists of chrome! I alumel leads in a stainless steel tube. At the forward
end is a variable, preset chrome! resistor. The applicable resistance value is set during final engine
acceptance checks and the unit is sealed. The trim data is recorded on the engine data plate. The unit
may only be replaced by an identically adjusted, sealed unit. The tube is installed at the 2 o'clock
position in the inlet air stream, immediately above the inlet screen. The leads at the front of the tube are
connected to terminals on the TS terminal block. The signal is transmitted to the ITI gauge on the
annunciator panel in the flight compartment.

1. Description
The engine integral lubrication system contains an integrally formed oil tank in the compressor
inlet case that provides a constant supply of clean oil to the engine bearings, reduction gears,
accessory drives, torquemeter and propeller governor. The oil lubricates and cools the bearings
and carries any extraneous matter to the oil filter where it is prevented from further circulation.
Oil level indication comprises of an oil quantity dipstick/gage which forms an integral part of the
oil tank filler cap.
Ports in the accessory gearbox are provided for installation of airframe supplied oil temperature
and oil pressure sensing devices (Ref. 77-00-00). A magnetic chip detector is located in the
reduction gearbox to detect impending component failure.
An engine oil filter and housing assembly is located in the compressor air inlet case. The filter is
retained by a cover installed with four self-locking nuts.
B. Oil Cooler
The oil cooler is located at the bottom of the engine compartment and is accessible through
access panel PB2. The basic design of the oil cooler is that of a typical heat exchanger where the
oil flows across integral passages and is cooled by the passage surfaces which in turn are
cooled by air sweeping through the fins which separate the passages. The fins provide increased
surface area so that cooling efficiency and cooler size are optimal.
C. Indicating
The engine oil temperature and pressure indicating system consists of a temperature sensitive
bulb and a pressure transducer connected to cockpit indicators.
2. Operation
For the operation of the engine integral lubrication system refer to P&WC EMM 79-00-00.

1. General
The starter system must turn the engine to a speed sufficient move air through the engine and allow
fuel to be ignited and then accelerate the engine.
An electrical starter is installed, which when the starting cycle is complete, is used as a DC generator.
2. Component Description
A. Starter /Generator
This is a lightweight combined starter motor and DC generator, with integral cooling fan. The
starter /generator is attached to a Quick Attach and Detach (QAD) adapter installed on the
engine accessory gearbox.
Starter motor operation is initiated from the cockpit by activating the STARTER switch. This energizes
starter relay which connects the EPU, or the aircraft battery, to the starter input (terminal C) and shorts
the INTERPOLE SAMPLING and the shunt field excitation terminals of the starter /generator. Returning
the START switch to off terminates starter operation. Refer to 24-30-00 for the description of the
generator and to 24-31-11 for removal and installation procedures.
