5.0 CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS
As coded in the Inspection Time Limits chart in this section, there are items to be checked each 25, 50, 100, and
200 hours. Also, there are notes on special items, which may require servicing at more frequent intervals.
• When conducting an inspection at 25 hours, all items marked for 25 hours would be accomplished.
• When conducting an inspection at 50 hours, the 25 and 50 hour items would be accomplished.
• When conducting an inspection at 100 hours, the 25, 50, and 100 hour items would be accomplished.
• When conducting an inspection at 200 hours, the 25, 50, 100 and 200 hour items would be accomplished.
• A complete inspection (Annual Inspection) would include all 25, 50, 100, 200 hour items.
As general inspection guidelines, each of the following areas should be inspected for their own unique attributes:
Movable Parts
For lubrication, servicing, security of attachment, binding, excessive wear, safetying, proper operation, proper
adjustment, correct travel, cracked fittings, security of hinges, defective bearings, cleanliness, corrosion,
deformation, sealing and tension.
Fluid Lines and Hoses
Fluid Lines and Hoses - For leaks, cracks, dents, kinks, chafing, security, corrosion, and deterioration.
Metal Parts
For security of attachment, cracks, metal distortion, broken welds, corrosion, condition of paint, and any other
apparent damage.
Wiring
For security, chafing, burning, defective insulation, loose or broken terminals, corroded terminals.
Bolts in Critical Areas
For corrosion, correct torque when installed, or when visual inspection indicates a need for a torque check.
Some additional general maintenance areas are as follows:
Main Gear Locks
Clean and lubricate as necessary to keep grease present at all times. Water resistant grease is recommended.
Joints
Spray all joints with light penetrating oil such as LPS 3 to ensure lubrication at all times.
Electrical Connections
Apply SOFT SEAL or LPS 100 paste to all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
5.1 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CORROSION PRODUCTS
Below is a list of recommended lubricants and “protection” products when servicing float hull and amphibious
components. This lists products used by Wipaire during assembly of the floats.
There may be equivalent products just as satisfactory for protection. However, it is recommended if trying different
products, to inspect them frequently so as to determine their effectiveness.
