N.
DESCRIPTION MECH. CER. ST.
1 Remove all the engine fairings
2 Open the inspection panel on the bottom of the fuselage
3 Check the general conditions of the whole airframe
4 Check the propeller for dents and cracks; check the blades leading
edge protection for condition;
NOTE: if some vibrations are noted the prop should be balanced
5 Check for presence and integrity of the safety nuts or the safety
wire on the propeller’s hub
6 Check the battery for proper liquid level, drain pipe condition,
corrosion due to acid spills and for electrodes condition
7 Check the flight controls for freedom of movement, excessive
play; all screws and nuts must be in place, properly tightened and
fitted with their safety devices
8 Check the flight controls cables, their end fittings and the
nicopresses; to check out for broken wires in cable, touch it along
by hand and by a soft fabric piece; if required, replace the cable
with an original spare
9 Check the pulleys and the teflon guides
10 Lubricate all the moving parts
11 Check all the components for freedom of movement and
excessive play
12 Check the flight controls cables tension; the proper tension is 18-
24 lbs (9-12 kg); greater tension induce too high load on the
aircraft’s structure and make the flight controls too hard to
operate, lower tension induce a very imprecise and not ready
response; at the worst, some flutter at the moving surfaces may
arise; the too low tension cables ARE VERY DANGEROUS
12e Check throttle lever on firewall and in particular the welding on
the 4 levers
13 Check the radiator is fully accessible by the cooling air and the
duct isn’t obstructed by grass, leaves or other debris; check for
coolant leaks, all the hoses and clamps are in place and properly
secured
