AMD 601XL / 601XLI / 650LS / 650LSi SLSA MAINTENANCE MANUAL
________________________________________________________________________
UNSCHEDULED INSPECTIONS
Unscheduled inspections must be performed anytime that unusual operating
conditions are encountered which may affect the integrity or airworthiness of the aircraft.
Actions to be taken following the reporting of such events are as follows:
Hard Landing
a) Check ELT for inadvertent activation.
b) Check main gear spring for deformation.
c) Check nose gear and firewall for damage.
Propeller Strike
a) Check propeller for damages.
b) Check prop flange re crankshaft damage.
C) Check engine manufacturers Service Manual
Lightning Strike
a) Check ELT for inadvertent activation.
b) Check skins for damages.
c) Check control connections for damages.
Bird Strike
Check the area for damages
Exceedence of Operational Limits
Do not fly the aircraft. Contact the manufacturer immediately.
Tire Change
Replace tires when required. Do not wait until next scheduled
inspection if tire(s) need to be changed.
CORROSION CONTROL
To avoid the deterioration of the ZODIAC aircraft due to the effects of corrosion,
monitor the condition of protective coatings on exterior and interior surfaces. If damage
to coatings is found, restore surfaces prior to the occurrence of damage caused by
environmental effects.
INSPECTION SCHEDULE
The required inspection tasks and their intervals are listed in Table 1. The tasks
are placed in seven groups: Propeller, Engine, Cabin, Landing Gear, Wing, Fuselage and
Empennage.
The first column of Table 1 states the task to be performed; the second column
states the applicable references(s). The third column is divided into four sub-columns,
each of which corresponds to an inspection interval. The last column may be used to
verify that a task has been completed. Perform the stated tasks at the intervals shown
when a plus (+) symbol is shown in an interval column. A minus (-) symbol indicates no
maintenance action is required. Tasks may be performed sooner but not later than the
stated intervals. If done sooner, tasks must next be performed at the stated interval (e.g. at
790 flight hours airframe time, a 100 hour task is performed 10 flight hours before it is
due. It must next be performed 100 hours later, at 890 flight hours (or sooner).
Operational checks are tasks that determine that an item is fulfilling its intended
purpose. No verification of meeting tolerances is required.
Functional checks are tasks which determine if one or more functions of an item
are performing within specified limits. Quantitative checks must be performed.
Useful Note: The 50 hour inspection has a tolerance of + 16% (i.e. between 42
and 58 hours). An Annual condition Inspection is identical in scope and detail as a 100
hour inspection. Perform inspections as per section VII of Engine Operators Manual. In
order to assist A&P mechanics with the annual inspection or when reassembling the
aircraft, the Pre-Flight Check List must be used with Table 1.
