Wing Attachment Area.
Inspect wing spar and main bolt bushings
for cracks and debonding. Check visible attaching hardware for loss
of torque. Inspect aileron bellcranks for cracks and corrosion. Check
root rib pins for debonding and cracks, and the forward one for fuel
leak.
Check each 600 hrs or at the next 100 hrs inspection after
2 years, whichever occurs first.
RLSA-M
Fuel Tanks
. Check wing leading edge for cracks and for fuel leak.
Inspect outer skin in tank area for signs of fuel leakage. Inspect within
visible area of the fuel tank for foreign objects. Inspect the fuel tanks
vents - NACA inlets on the outer side of each of the upper winglets,
for obstruction, connections for leaks. Check fuel flow through the
gascolator. For more detailed instruction see Chapter 6, Fuel System.
Owner/Pilot
Fuel filler and caps.
Inspect for proper locking, condition of o-ring
and filler, and presence and legibility of placards.
Owner/Pilot
Fuel Intake Filter.
Check intake filter every 1000 hrs or after negative
fuel flow test.
Owner/Pilot
Fuel contamination test.
Take fuel samples from both wings and
fuel strainer. Inspect for contamination and proper grade of fuel.
RLSA-M
Wing skins.
Inspect for obvious signs of damage, including cracks,
holes, and buckling. Check condition of paint and placards. Check
drain holes for obstructions.
Owner/Pilot
Aileron and flap brackets.
Inspect for security of attachment to wing.
Inspect bearing for condition and play as required in Chapter
3.4.1.6.2 Aileron; 3.4.2.6.2 Flaps.
RLSA-M
Ailerons.
Inspect for damage, looseness, or play in attach bearings,
and condition of rod end attachment. Check security of static balance
weights. Check for obstruction of drain holes. Lubricate the rod tip
bearing as required in Chapter 3.4.1.6.2 Aileron; 3.4.2.6.2 Flaps.
RLSA-M
Flaps.
Inspect skins for condition and signs of debonding. Check
hinges for play and attachment to wing and flap. Check flap rod and
rod tips for condition, and lubricate.
RLSA-M
Flap actuator.
Clean and run flaps up and down to check for smooth
operation.
Owner/Pilot
Flap deflection.
Ensure that flaps extend equally on each side of the
airplane in the takeoff, cruise and landing configurations. Measure the
down deflection on each side using neutral ailerons as a reference
point. The difference in static deflection should not be greater than
1
/
8
‘’ / 3 mm. Inspect stop switches for operating. See detailed
instructions in Chapter 4.3.2 Flaps.
RLSA-M
Wing interior.
Inspect wing spar through outer access panel and
access holes along the trailing edge for signs of cracks or debonding.
Inspect visible bonded areas of ribs and other structures.
RLSA-M
Flight controls.
Inspect all push-pull rods, rod end bearings and
bellcranks for condition, play, security of attachment and lubricate.
Ensure locking is proper where applicable.
