in order for the tail to be locked. An annunci-
ator panel light in the cockpit will warn the
pilot when either of the tips is unlocked or not
installed correctly.
To remove the tip:
1)
Pull downward on the tip lock latch to remove it from the detent
position and rotate the latch approximately 180°.
2)
Grasp the tip and slide it away from main horizontal tail until the
cylindrical spar clears the structure.
To install the tip:
1)
Grasp the tip and slide the cylindrical spar fully into the main
horizontal tail taking care that the locating pin near the leading
edge aligns properly. Ensure that the tip is fully engaged by
pressing it firmly into position.
2)
Rotate the latch back into the locked position ensuring that it
snaps upward into the detent position.
3)
With the master switch on, verify that the ‘SECURE
WING/TAIL’ light on the annunciator panel has extinguished.

WATER IN WING TIPS
In the event of inadvertent submersion of the wing tip, there is a
possibility that water has passed through the wing light seals or
through the aileron pushrod opening and collected in the hollow
wing tip where it cannot naturally drain out. Water can be detected
by unlatching the wing lock, pulling the wing fully outboard, then
rotating it leading edge up and down so as to induce an audible
sloshing. If water is found or is suspected to be in the wing tip,
perform the steps below.
1)
Unlock the wing and pull it outward.
2)
Rotate the wing about 180° until the top surface of the wing
faces down and is horizontal to the ground. Hold the wing tip
high.
Water can then drain out of the tip and into the main part of the
wing.
