It shall be the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the latest revision of the publications
referenced in this manual are utilized during operation, servicing and maintenance of the airplane.
Beechcraft Corporation expressly reserves the right to supersede, cancel and/or declare obsolete any
parts, part numbers, kits or publications that may be referenced in this manual without prior notice.
WARNING: Use only parts obtained from sources approved by Beechcraft Corporation, in
connection with the maintenance and repair of Beechcraft Corporation airplanes.
Genuine Beechcraft Corporation parts are produced and inspected under rigorous
procedures to insure airworthiness and suitability for use in Beechcraft Corporation
airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than those approved by
Beechcraft Corporation, even though outwardly identical in appearance, may not
have the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication
techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an airplane.
Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from sources not approved by the
Beechcraft Corporation or parts, components or structural assemblies, the service
history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected
to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage, not
discernible through routine visual or usual nondestructive testing techniques. This
may render the part, component or structural assembly, even though originally
manufactured by the Beechcraft Corporation, unsuitable and unsafe for airplane
use.
Beechcraft Corporation expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions,
failures, damage or injury caused by use of parts not approved by the Beechcraft
Corporation.
Any maintenance requiring the disconnection and connection of flight control
cables, plumbing, electrical connectors or wiring requires identification of each side
of the component being disconnected to facilitate correct reassembly. At or prior to
disassembly, components should be color coded, tagged or properly identified in a
way that it will be obvious how to correctly reconnect the components. After
connection of any component, remove all identification tags. Check all associated
systems for correct function prior to returning the airplane to service.

B. Correspondence
If a question should arise concerning the care of your airplane, it is important to include the airplane
serial number in any correspondence. The serial number appears on the model designation placard.

3. HOW TO USE THE MANUAL

A. ATA Subject Matter Assignment


The contents of this manual are organized into four levels. The four levels are:

(1) Group

These are the primary divisions of the manual that enable broad separation of content. Typical of
this division is the separation between Airframe Systems and the Power Plant.

(2) System/Chapter

The various groups are broken down into major systems such as Environmental Systems,
Electrical Power, Landing Gear, etc. The systems are arranged more or less alphabetically rather
than by precedence or importance. They are assigned a number, which becomes the first element
of the standardized numbering system. Thus, the element 28 of the number 28-40-01 refers to the
chapter FUEL. Everything concerning the fuel system will be covered in this chapter.

(3) Subsystem/Section

The major systems/chapters of an airplane are broken down into subsystems. These subsystems
are identified by the second element of the standard numbering system. The element 40 of the
number 28-40-01 concerns itself with the indicating section of the fuel system.

Page 5
INTRODUCTION Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Unit/Subject

The individual units within a subsystem/section may be identified by the third element of the
standard numbering system. The element 01 of the number 28-40-01 is a subject designator. This
element is assigned at the option of the manufacturer and may or may not be used.

B. Application
Any publication conforming to the GAMA or ATA format will use the same basic numbering system.
Thus, whether the manual is a Model 1900/1900C Airliner Maintenance Manual, or a Model 1900C
Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual, the person wishing information concerning the indication portion of the
fuel system, would refer to the System/Chapter Tab 28-FUEL. The table of contents in the front of this
chapter will provide a list of subsystems covered in this chapter. For example, the fuel system chapter
with a full index would contain:
28-00 - General
28-10 - Storage (Tanks, cells, necks, caps, instruments, etc.).
28-20 - Distribution (Fuel lines, pumps, valves, controls, etc.).
28-30 - Dump (If in-flight dumping system is installed, it would appear here).
28-40 - Indicating (Quantity, temperature, pressure, etc., does not include engine fuel flow or pressure).

C. References to Procedures, Figures, Equipment and Materials


A system has been developed to provide a method of allowing the user to quickly locate data referred to
in the other manuals. This system provides information for both the printed manual as well as a
hyperlink in electronic manuals.
Here are a few examples:
When the user is directed to a procedure in another manual, the text will be as follows: (Ref. Chapter
06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS). The procedure is found in Chapter 06-50-00, of the
Maintenance Manual.
When the user is in a procedure and is directed to information about a tool, piece of equipment or
material used, the text will be as follows: (4, Table 2, 27-00-00), which contains a listing of all the special
tools and equipment used to maintain the 1900/1900C airplane. Item 4 in Table 2 is Corrosion
Preventive Compound.

4. CHAPTER/SYSTEM INDEX GUIDE TABLE


The following System/Chapter, Subsystem/Section Index Guide is prepared in accordance with ATA
Specification No. 2200. This outline in general is used in Maintenance Manuals, Parts Catalogs and Wiring
Diagram Manuals. The organization of information will follow this outline, however the Subsystem/Sections
may vary slightly to accommodate accurate coverage of the specific aircraft.
The following chapters are not applicable to this Maintenance Manual: 29, 31, 38, 49, 60, 65, 70, 75, 81, 82,
83 and 95.

INSPECTION/CHECK
00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance should be accomplished within and enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
This chapter contains TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS, a TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE, and a CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM along with procedures for UNSCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE CHECKS. This program has been developed to enable the owner/operator to accomplish
inspections and maintenance on a progressive basis in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3).
The Hawker Beechcraft approved inspection program contained in the chapter is specifically for the Model
1900D Airliner. Any variation to the inspection program must be approved in writing by the FAA Flight
Standards District Office (FSDO), or Airworthiness Authority. The inspection program meets the requirement
of both 14 CFR Part 91 and 14 CFR Part 135.
NOTE: A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a
normal flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.
The inspection program in this chapter is based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or calendar
time. The basis for calendar-time-limited inspections is the date on the “ORIGINAL STANDARD
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE”, FAA Form No. 8100-2, which is issued with a new airplane. Additionally,
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends that operators record the number of cycles experienced on
individual components for purposes of complying with inspections based on cycle count. Hobbs meter time or
airplane log sheets can be used for determining when inspections and maintenance based on flight hours will
be due. However, the method chosen for recording flight hours should remain constant throughout the life of
the airplane.
The times in this inspection program have been established only as a guideline to give the owner/operator a
benchmark from which to begin the program. The service history or fleet experience of a particular operation
may indicate that departure from the times in this chapter would be advantageous. If, however, changes to a
previously approved program are desired, they must be submitted to the FSDO for approval. All inspections
listed in this chapter should be accomplished with reference to this Maintenance Manual and the appropriate
supplier maintenance publications. Maintenance information on most of the major components of the airplane
is contained in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual.

A. Inspection Program
The Model 1900/1900C Airliner inspection program has been developed to enable an owner/operator to
accomplish inspections and maintenance on an on-going basis in accordance with 14 CFR 91.409 (f)
(3). A complete inspection cycle is 1,200 hours or 24 months. The inspection cycle is divided into six
Detailed Inspections and each inspection cycle is done at 200 hours with each consecutive Detailed
Inspection 200 hours after the previous inspection. The Detailed Inspections provide a thorough
inspection of specific components and systems and occur at 200-hour intervals.
For newly added items, as an example; A new inspection requirement added to the second
200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection need not be accomplished until the next scheduled second
200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection, unless otherwise stated.

B. Special Conditions Cautionary Notice


Extremely high utilization airplanes and/or airplanes operated in extreme climates may need more
frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, and lubrication. The periodic inspections in this chapter should
be accomplished until the owner/operator can establish his own inspection periods based on experience
or another program which has had prior approval.
NOTE: The time periods listed in this chapter do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the
period without malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the
manufacturer.

C. Time-Limited Inspections
This subchapter lists items that are subject to a thorough inspection based on flight hours, cycles of
operation or calendar time. These TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS do not meet the criteria established
for more detailed and frequent inspections listed in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM
subchapter. The first TIME-LIMITED INSPECTION of an item must be accomplished not later than the
period stated in this subchapter unless prior experience indicates otherwise. Discrepancies noted and
corrective action taken during these TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS should be recorded in the
appropriate airplane records.
Requirements added to the TIME- LIMITED INSPECTIONS, TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE or the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM, need not be complied with immediately.
Unless otherwise directed by relevant Communiqué or Service Bulletin.
A new requirement added to the TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS need not be complied with until one
year from the date the new requirement was published, unless otherwise stated.
For example a new inspection requirement added to the second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection
need not be accomplished until the next scheduled second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection. A new
requirement added to the TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS that specifies a 12 month inspection interval
may be introduced using a reasonable phase in schedule.

D. Time-Limited Major Maintenance


The subchapter under this heading is a MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. This schedule lists
components of the 1900/1900C Airliner aircraft which require periodic major maintenance. The first
Major Maintenance of an item must be accomplished not later than the period stated in this subchapter
unless prior experience indicates otherwise. The components listed may require complete replacement
or major repair based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or calendar time applicable to the
particular component. If more frequent checks or servicing of one or more of these components are
necessary, these additional requirements will be listed in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.

E. Continuous Inspection Program


The Hawker Beechcraft recommended CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM provides a means of
inspecting and maintaining the aircraft on a 50- and 200-hour basis. Routine inspections and servicing
are conducted every 50 hours of operation. A Detailed inspection of specific areas and systems of the
aircraft is conducted every 200 hours for a period of 1,200 hours. Work sheets are provided at the end
of the Routine and each Detailed Inspection to record discrepancies and the corrective action taken. At
the end of each 1,200-hour cycle, the owner/operator will have performed a complete inspection of the
entire airplane. Although the times of Routine and Detailed inspections may be altered, each item
should be accomplished as stated in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM. A detailed
preamble to this subchapter is included and should be read and understood before beginning the
CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.

F. Unscheduled Maintenance Checks - Maintenance Practices


This subchapter is assembled in Table form to allow a technician to perform checks for damage after
operating the aircraft in conditions which could require unscheduled maintenance. Specific conditions,
such as lightning strikes, turbulent air penetration and hard landings etc., are included. Inspection
instructions are included for each of the conditions listed.

CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM


00

1. GENERAL
The owner or operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition,
including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 39, or as specified by the directives of the national aviation authorities. The
owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure that the
airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and service
information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
It is further the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity
with the requirements covered in 14 CFR Part(s) 91.409 (f) (3), 121.367, 125.247 or 135.419 of the Code of
Federal Regulations or as specified by the directives of the national aviation authorities. These CFR Parts
cover the requirements concerning approved airplane inspection programs. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
has prepared this Continuous Inspection Program to assist the owner or operator in meeting the foregoing
responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to obtain specific FAA (or national aviation authority), approval
for the continuous inspection program the owner or operator adopts.
NOTE: When warranted by service experience or engineering recommendations, an approved maintenance
program, including the inspection intervals, may be changed at any time with prior notification and
approval of the local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or as required by the
national aviation authority.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation publishes recommended inspection requirements and maintenance
schedules for the airframe of your airplane. Remember that maintenance requirements and schedules for
some supplier furnished components, such as engines, propellers, avionics, cabin heaters, and other
airplane equipment, are separately stated in their respective supplier maintenance manuals. Have your
maintenance personnel review the equipment installed on your airplane and ensure that current, up-to-date
supplier maintenance publications and manuals are available and all required maintenance is scheduled and
performed.
This Continuous Inspection Program is provided to enable the owner/operator to inspect and maintain the
airplane on a continuous basis. Included in the program are a Routine Inspection and six Detailed
Inspections. A sequence of conducting the program along with suggested times are discussed later. The
times and sequence are recommendations and may be altered to suit a particular operation. While this
program may be used as an outline, detailed information of the many systems and components in the
airplane will be found in the various chapters/sections of the maintenance manual and the pertinent supplier
publications. It is also recommended that reference be made to the applicable maintenance handbooks,
service instructions, applicable FAA (or national aviation authority) Regulations, Publications, and supplier's
specifications for torque values, clearances, settings, tolerances, and other requirements.
This program is not intended to be all-inclusive, for no such program can replace the good judgement of a
certified airframe and power plant mechanic in the performance of his duties.

Extremely high-utilization airplanes and/or airplanes operated in extreme climates may need more
frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, and lubrication. Under these conditions, the items listed in this
program should be accomplished as outlined until the owner/operator can establish his own inspection
periods based on experience or another program which has had prior approval. Engine power and
performance runs should be tailored to each operation to achieve reliable, cost-effective maintenance.
Depending on the maintenance performed and components replaced, a GROUND PERFORMANCE
CHECK may be required in lieu of the normal Inspection Run. Refer to the applicable maintenance
procedures.
NOTE: The time periods in this schedule do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period
without malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Use only genuine Hawker Beechcraft Corporation or Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
approved parts obtained from Hawker Beechcraft Corporation approved sources, in
connection with the maintenance and repair of Hawker Beechcraft airplanes.
Genuine Hawker Beechcraft Corporation parts are produced and inspected under
rigorous procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in Hawker
Beechcraft airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation, even though outwardly identical in appearance, may not
have had the required tests and inspections performed, may be different in
fabrication techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an
airplane.
Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from non-Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation approved sources, or parts, components, or structural assemblies, the
service history of which is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been
subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures or have other hidden damage,
not discernible through routine visual or the usual nondestructive testing
techniques. This may render the part, component or structural assembly, even
though originally manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation unsuitable and
unsafe for airplane use.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation expressly disclaims any responsibility for
malfunctions, failures, damage or injury caused by use of non-Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation approved parts.

B. Continuous Inspection General Information


(1) Purpose and Use

The Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommended Continuous Inspection Program is provided to


maintain the Model 1900/1900C Airliner airplanes that are utilized by the owner/operator on a
continuous basis. Should the owner/operator elect to use the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
recommended program, the complete program must be accomplished at least one time every 24
calendar months.
The complete inspection program for each airplane is divided into several parts consisting of a
Routine Inspection of the airplane every 50 hours of service time and a Detailed Inspection of a
portion of the airplane every 200 hours of service time, thus providing a complete inspection of the
airplane every 1,200 hours. The 50-hour or 200-hour interval between performance of the
procedures here must not be exceeded by more than 10%. Any extension of either the 50-hour or
200-hour interval must be subtracted from the following 50-hour or 200-hour interval as
appropriate, with no time extension permitted. This method will provide greater availability of the
airplane during normal operating hours without sacrificing the quality desired during maintenance
and inspection periods.

(2) Definitions

The terminology pertaining to the inspection procedures and their use as explained in this manual
are in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1, 43 and 91, issued by the Federal
Aviation Administration. These terms are defined as follows:
Continuous Inspection - A continuous inspection is a continuing airworthiness inspection of an
airplane and its various components and systems at scheduled intervals in accordance with
procedures prescribed by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Detailed Inspection - Detailed inspection consists of a thorough examination of the appliances,
the airplane and components and systems with such disassembly as necessary.
Flight Time - Flight time shall mean the total time from the moment the airplane first moves under
its own power for the purpose of flight until the moment it comes to rest at the next point of landing.
(Block-to-block time.)
Maintenance - Means inspection, overhaul, repair, preservations, and the replacement of parts,
but excludes preventive maintenance.
Pilot in Command - Pilot in command shall mean the pilot responsible for the operation and
safety of the airplane during the time defined as flight time.
Preventive Maintenance - Means simple or minor preservative operations and the replacement
of small standard parts not involving complex assembly operations.
Routine Inspection - Routine inspection consists of visual examination or check of the
appliances, the airplane and its components and systems insofar as is practicable without
disassembly.
Time in Service - Time in service, as used in computing maintenance and inspection time
records, is the time from the moment the airplane leaves the ground until it touches the ground at
the end of the flight.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Forms and Records

The forms and records used with the Continuous Inspection Program consist of a Routine
Inspection form, six separate 200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection forms, Continuous Inspection
Work Sheets and In-Flight Work Sheets.
Routine Inspection Work Sheet - This Work Sheet lists the airplane components which are to be
checked at each 50-flight-hour interval of service time. At each 200-Hour Interval Inspection, this
form will be completed in addition to the 200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection form.
200-Hour-Interval Detailed Inspection Form - Six separate and individual 200-Hour Interval
Detailed Inspection forms are used with the Continuous Inspection Program. Each form covers
only one portion of the airplane and is designated as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th 200-Hour
Interval Detailed Inspections. Completion of the 6th of the
200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection will provide a complete airworthiness inspection of the
airplane.
Continuous Inspection Work Sheet - This form is used in conjunction with each of the inspection
forms to provide a list of all discrepancies which are found during the inspection and their
corrective action.
In-Flight Work Sheet - Copies of this Work Sheet are to be kept in the airplane and will be used
by the pilot in command to list any discrepancy which occurs during a flight. When the flight is
completed, this form will then be forwarded to the Maintenance Shop for proper disposition.
If the Continuous Inspection Program is discontinued, written notification must be sent to the local
FAA Flight Standards district office or as specified by the national aviation authority.

C. Inspection Procedures
(1) Routine Inspections (50-Hour Intervals)

A Routine Inspection of the airplane shall be conducted each 50 hours of time the airplane is in
service. This inspection consists mainly of a visual inspection of the major components of the
airplane for general condition. This inspection may be conducted by persons qualified to do
preventative maintenance. Refer to Chapter 5-20-01 for complete instructions to conduct routine
inspections.

(2) Detailed Inspections (200-Hour Intervals)

Six separate Detailed Inspections of the airplane are required to accomplish one complete
inspection. Only a portion of the airplane's components or systems are inspected at each 200-hour
interval, thus accomplishing a complete inspection of the airplane once every 1,200 hours of time
in service. Items requiring attention at periods of less than 1,200 hours are duplicated on the
appropriate Detailed Inspection form. These inspections are to be conducted by the Crew Chief in
Charge of Maintenance, or by a properly qualified mechanic under their supervision. Refer to
Chapters 5-20-02, 5-20-03, 5-20-04, 5-20-05, 5-20-06, and 5-20-07 for complete instructions to
conduct the 1st through 6th Detailed Inspections.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Discrepancies
Discrepancies found on the airplane during an inspection must be listed on the Continuous Inspection
Worksheet. The discrepancy must be entered on the worksheet, and the corrective action which is
taken must be noted. If more than one line is required to state the discrepancy, as many entry spaces as
are necessary may be used. The same method should be used for corrective action explanations which
require more than one line, except the bottom lines of the extra spaces will be used. Each separate
entry on the sheet will be numbered in the ITEM blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. As many worksheets as
necessary will be used to list all discrepancies with the entry numbers in the ITEM block continuing in
sequence on each of the additional pages. All discrepancies listed must be corrected before the
worksheet is routed to the airplane file.
Discrepancies that affect the airworthiness of the airplane will require the necessary corrective action to
be accomplished before the airplane is returned to service.
Discrepancies that do not affect the airworthiness of the airplane may, at the discretion of the
maintenance crew chief, be carried over to the next inspection period. All discrepancies thus carried
over will be retained in the Shop File until corrected, and will also be reflected on the Shop Status and
Scheduling Board.
Discrepancies which occur during a flight must be entered on the In-Flight Worksheet by the pilot in
command or other responsible person. At the end of the flight this worksheet is then submitted to the
Transportation Department Manager.

E. Away-From-Station Requirements
Away-From-Station Inspection. If the airplane is to be away from the home location at the time an
inspection is due, the pilot in command of the flight will take with him all forms which will be required for
the inspection and a copy of this manual. The detailed inspection will be conducted or supervised by
one of the following:
1. A certified airframe repair station.
2. An appropriately rated certified mechanic with inspection authorization.
The results of the inspection will be noted on the proper forms which are then brought back to the home
location. The pilot will be responsible for all inspection forms and work sheet entries with inspectors and/
or mechanics signature and identification.
Away-From-Station Discrepancies. Discrepancies affecting the airworthiness of the airplane, when
the airplane is away from the local station, will be corrected by one of the following:
1. A certificated airframe repair station.
2. An appropriately rated certified mechanic.
The discrepancy and the corrective action taken is to be listed on the In-Flight Worksheet. The pilot will
be responsible for all worksheet entries with mechanic's and/or inspector's signatures and identification.

3. INSPECTION AFTER HARD OR OVERWEIGHT LANDING


NOTE: A hard landing is any landing made by an airplane with a vertical decent rate greater than 600 ft/min
(feet per minute) when the airplanes gross weight is less than or equal to the Maximum Landing
Weight (MLW). Closely related to a hard landing is an overweight landing, which is defined as landing
the airplane with a vertical decent rate greater than 360 ft/min (feet per minute) when the airplanes
gross weight is greater than MLW but less than Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). An overweight
landing is also any landing when the airplane gross weight is greater than MTOW.
As it is difficult to accurately determine vertical descent velocity, the following inspections, checks
and tests must be performed whenever a hard or overweight landing has been reported or
suspected. It is not possible to define specific details of the inspection procedure to be performed
after every incident due to the wide variations in weight, speed, nature, and direction of loads that can
be encountered. It is therefore recommended that before starting the inspection the pilot is consulted
for information regarding the landing conditions.
Ascertain, for example:
1. Whether the landing was straight, drifting, wing low, nose or tail heavy.
2. If any noise indicative of structural damage was heard.
3. The weight of the airplane and the fuel.
This inspection should be carried out after a hard landing and before the airplane is certified as ready
for further flight. The inspections are conducted at two levels. The first level consists of determining if
any external damage has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural failure. The second
level is concerned with a more detailed inspection of any damaged areas which were indicated in the
findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by the first level inspection that there is no
damage to the airplane, it is not necessary to proceed to the second level inspection.
WARNING: Even though wrinkles in the wing or fuselage skin surface may be slight enough to be
considered as negligible, a close inspection of the internal supporting structure may
reveal serious damage.

(g) If no cracks are found, install the drag brace.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends that airplanes having experienced severe, or hard landings or other
abnormal landing incidents which may have placed undue stress on the landing gears, are to be inspected within
the first 150 service hours after such hard landing and at each 600 service hours thereafter.
Airplanes that have received repairs in this area, upon Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommendations, are
exempt from this inspection except in the event of a future hard or abnormal landing incident.

and Wing Surfaces of a strike will usually appear as a burned hole or as a
series of burned holes in metallic surfaces. Plastic parts
may be delaminated and/or deformed due to high
internal pressures. Normally two or more points will be
found, the entry and the exit points. Antennas are
frequently an entry point of lighting and should be
carefully inspected for evidence of arcing, sooting or
pitting.
From the point of entry, the strike usually spreads aft in
a series of small holes or burn marks. After the points
of entry and exit are found, the structure between these
points should be carefully inspected. Attention should
be given to hinges and hinge pins for possible pitting.
Cables, pulleys, bearings, bolts and all bonding
jumpers in the area should be inspected for possible
damage. Antennas, electrical and electronic equipment
should be visually checked for damage and functionally
checked for operation. If the strike was near the fuel
vent, all plumbing should be carefully inspected for
damage. Steel components may exhibit magnetism
and require degaussing so as not to affect compass
systems.

If the airplane is located in an area where volcanic ash may settle, hangar the airplane when possible. If the
airplane must be parked outside, ensure that all protective covers are installed. It should be noted that
volcanic ash is acidic and can cause corrosion damage unless properly removed. If volcanic ash has
collected on airplane surfaces or been deposited in structural cavities or low points, Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation recommends removal of loose ash using low pressure compressed air or vacuum equipment
followed by a thorough clear, fresh water rinse of the structure making sure to remove any pooling or standing
water. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn, when applicable, when removing volcanic ash.
NOTE: If contamination is noted in avionics compartments, it is recommended that owners/operators contact
the applicable avionics manufacturer for guidance.
Included are references to current EUROCONTROL documentation and engine manufacturers
documentation released to date. Additional information/documentation may become available. Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation assumes no responsibility for supplying future supplier documentation or revisions.

LIFTING AND SHORING


GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. LIFTING
Bleed air from the engines enters the cabin duct work through the ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass
valve. The ACM bypass valve begins opening first upon receiving a heat command from the cabin
temperature controller. When the ACM bypass valve is fully open, the intergral open limit switch in the valve
shunts the heat command from the cabin temperature controller to the ejector bypass valve, opening it. As
the cabin temperature controller starts to issue cool commands, the ejector bypass valve begins closing.
When the ejector bypass valve is fully closed, the cool command is shunted to the ACM bypass valve, closing
it.

A. Hoisting
WARNING: Prior to attaching the sling to the airplane, inspect the sling for damage or wear. Any
defect could diminish the strength of the sling.
CAUTION: Before hoisting the airplane, the fuel tanks must be drained and the airplane should be
empty.
The airplane may be hoisted for maintenance or parts replacement. A minimum overhead clearance of
17 feet and a hoist of at least 14,000 to 16,000 pound capacity are required for hoisting.
If it is necessary to hoist the airplane with one or both engines removed, use a sling under the tail. The
tail mooring hole can be used to hold the sling in position.
The 99-590029-1 hoisting sling, or its equivalent, is required to hoist the airplane (Ref. Chapter
91-00-00, SPECIAL TOOLS). The hoisting sling is constructed of two broad band nylon straps
supported by a structural steel crossbar with wire ropes for attachment to an overhead crane or hoist.
The sling is designed to support approximately 33,000 pounds to ensure a high safety factor during
hoisting.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Jacking
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type,
as a safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked
prior to removing the airplane from the jacks.
Never jack the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 knots will
be encountered.
NOTE: Each of the three jacks used to lift the airplane should have a lifting capacity of at least 10,000
pounds.
The Model 1900 Series Airliner is equipped with a three-point jack pad system. Two main gear jack
pads are located on the center wing rear spar, just inboard of each nacelle. The nose gear jack pad is
located near the aft edge of the nose gear wheel well. All three points are easily identified by the
placarding, JACK PAD, adjacent to the jack points.
CAUTION: The fuel must be evenly distributed in both wings to ensure stability while the airplane is on
jacks.
Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest
of safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any
direction and terrain variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.

A. Three-Point Jacking (Preferred Procedure)


NOTE: Each of the three jacks used to lift the airplane should have a lifting capacity of at least 10,000
pounds.
WARNING: Never jack the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 knots will
be encountered.
CAUTION: Position airplane on a flat, hard, oil free surface prior to any jacking operations.
Do not attempt any jacking operations outdoors during strong, gusty winds. If the airplane
must be lifted outdoors, always face the airplane into the wind.
Ensure area is clear of obstacles that could damage the airplane during raising operations.
NOTE: If tail stand is installed, remove tail stand during jacking operations.

(1) Position a tripod jack (3) at the nose of the airplane directly under each jack pad with two of the
jack legs (4) perpendicular to the fuselage (Ref. Figure 201).

(2) Position a tripod jack (3) at each wing of the airplane directly under each jack pad with two of the
jack legs (4) parallel to the fuselage (Ref. Figure 202).

(3) Extend jack extension (1) of each jack to contact securely with its associated jack pad
(Ref. Figures 201 and 202).

CAUTION: One person should be positioned forward of the airplane to ensure that the airplane
remains level during three-point jacking.
Keep the jack follower nut within two inches of the jack shoulder at all times during
three-point jacking and lowering.

(4) Operate the wing and nose jacks together until the clearance between the tires and the ground is
at least 2 inches (51 mm).

(5) Tighten the follower nut (2) of each jack (3) against the jack shoulder and release pressure from
jack pump cylinder (6) (Ref. Figures 201 and 202).

(6) Install a tail stand (2) at the aft fuselage mooring point (1) of the airplane and bring it into secure
contact with the ground (Ref. Figure 203).

A. Hoisting
WARNING: Prior to attaching the sling to the airplane, inspect the sling for damage or wear. Any
defect could diminish the strength of the sling.
CAUTION: Before hoisting the airplane, the fuel tanks must be drained and the airplane should be
empty.
The airplane may be hoisted for maintenance or parts replacement. An overhead crane capable of 20
feet of vertical lift is required to lift the aircraft four feet from the ground, allowing for one foot of vertical
stretch in the nylon webbing.
NOTE: If it is necessary to hoist the airplane with one or both engines removed, use a sling under the
tail of the airplane.
The airplane may be hoisted for maintenance or parts replacement. A minimum overhead clearance of
17 feet and a hoist of at least 14,000 to 16,000 pound capacity are required for hoisting.
If it is necessary to hoist the airplane with one or both engines removed, use a sling under the tail. The
tail mooring hole can be used to hold the sling into position.
The 99-590029-1 hoisting sling, or its equivalent, is required to hoist the airplane (Ref. Chapter
91-00-00, SPECIAL TOOLS). The hoisting sling is constructed of two broad band nylon straps
supported by a structural steel crossbar with wire ropes for attachment to an overhead crane or hoist.
The sling is designed to support approximately 33,000 pounds to ensure a high safety factor during
hoisting. The straps of the sling encircle the fuselage when the airplane is being hoisted as follows:

(1) Place one nylon band at fuselage station 213.25, located just forward of the first cabin window
(Ref. Figure 201). Place the other nylon band at fuselage station 373.75, located on the aft side of
the sixth cabin window.

(2) Attach the sling to the cable or chain on an overhead hoisting crane at a position in line with
fuselage station 286.00.

(3) Guy ropes between the wing tip and lift point or a man stationed at each wing tip may be required
to offset any imbalanced weight in the wings.

(4) Remove all loose equipment from the airplane and hoist the airplane smoothly. Take up slack in
the hoist and begin the lift gently, watching carefully for any unbalance.

1. PROCEDURE

A. Weighing the Airplane


Periodic weighing of the airplane may be required to keep the Basic Empty Weight current (Ref. Figures
201, 202 and 203). Frequency of weighing is to be determined by the operator. All changes to the
airplane affecting weight and/or balance are the responsibility of the airplane operator.

(1) The airplane may be weighed on wheels or jack points. Three jack points are provided. One is on
the nose section of the fuselage at station 83.5 and the two main support points are on the wing
center section rear spar at station 326.1. Wheel reaction locations should be measured as
described in Step (6).

(2) Fuel should be drained preparatory to weighing. Fuel is drained from the drain ports with the
airplane in static ground attitude.

NOTE: (UA-1 and after, UB-1 and after) After tanks are drained, 8.6 pounds of trapped fuel
remains in the airplane at fuselage station 301.0. The remainder of the unusable fuel
(drainable fuel) is 32.0 pounds at station 297.9 and must be added to a drained system to
obtain the aircraft Basic Empty Weight configuration.
(UC-1 and after) After tanks are drained, 14.6 pounds of trapped fuel remains in the
airplane at fuselage station 278.6. The remainder of the unusable fuel (drainable fuel) is
58.6 pounds at station 304.7 and must be added to a drained system to obtain the aircraft
Basic Empty Weight configuration.

(3) Engine oil must be at the full level in each tank. Total engine oil aboard when both tanks are full is
57.5 pounds at an arm of 249.3 inches.

(4) To determine airplane configuration at time of weighing, installed equipment is checked against
the airplane equipment list or superseding forms. All equipment must be in its proper place during
weighing.

(5) The airplane must be supported on the scales in a level attitude. Leveling reference points are
located on the forward entrance door frame. Leveling is accomplished with a plumb bob or optical
methods. Jack pad weighing may require the nose gear shock to be secured in the static position
to prevent its extension. Leveling for wheel weighing may be accomplished by varying the
amounts of air in the shocks and tires.

(6) Measurement of the reaction arms for a wheel weighing is made using the nose reference point
(FS 95.89). Using a steel measuring tape, measure the distance (with the airplane level on the
scales) from the reference (a plumb bob hung from the center of the reference point) to the axle
center line of the nose gear and then from the later point to the main wheel axle center line. The
main wheel axle center line is best located by stretching a string parallel to the fuselage center
line. The locations of the wheel reactions will be approximately at an arm of 315 inches from main
wheels and 30 inches for the nose wheel.

Page 201
08-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(7) The Basic Empty Weight and Moment must include full oil and unusable fuel as well as a full
charge for any other fluid system in the airplane (e.g. hydraulic or oxygen). The appropriate
weights and moments must be added on the weighing form if any of these items are not in the
airplane are subtracted, e.g. usable fuel.

(8) Weighing should always be made in an enclosed area which is free from air currents. The scales
used should be properly calibrated and certified in accordance with the Bureau of Standards.

NOTE: Each new airplane is delivered with a completed sample loading, basic empty weight and
center of gravity (C.G.), and equipment list, all pertinent to that specific airplane. It is the
owner’s responsibility to ensure that changes in equipment are reflected in a new weight
and balance and in an addendum to the equipment list. There are may ways of doing this;
it is suggested that a running tally of equipment changes and their effect on basic empty
weight and C.G. is a suitable means for meeting both requirements.
The current equipment list and basic empty weight and C.G. information must be retained
with the airplane when it changes ownership. Hawker Beechcraft Corporation cannot
maintain this information; the current status is known only to the owner. If these papers
become lost, the FAA will require that the airplane be re-weighed to establish the basic
empty weight and C.G. and that an inventory of installed equipment be conducted to
create a new equipment list. It is recommended that duplicate copies of the Basic Empty
weight and Balance sheet and the Equipment List be made and kept in an alternate
location in the event the original is misplaced.

1. PROCEDURE

A. Leveling the Airplane


The airplane may be leveled by placing the airplane on jacks and raising or lowering the jacks
(Ref. Figure 201). Use a precision level on the aft baggage compartment floorboard and raise or lower
the jacks on the high side of the airplane to level the airplane laterally. To level the airplane
longitudinally, attach a cord and plumb bob to the upper Phillips head screw just aft of the forward cabin
door. Raise or lower the nose-gear jack as required to pass the cord over the center line of a second
Phillips head screw directly near the bottom of the door. Suspending the plumb bob in a can of light
engine oil will dampen its movement.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Towing
There are two different tow bars available. The 50-59001 is intended to be used only as a manual tow
bar. Even though this tow bar has a hole in the handle which may fit a tractor tow hitch, the bar should
not be used with any tow vehicle. 50-590017 may be purchased for use with a tow vehicle (Ref. Chapter
91-00-00, SPECIAL TOOLS).
With the tow bar connected to the towing lugs on the upper torque knee fitting of the nose strut, the
airplane can be steered with the nose wheel when moving it by hand or with a tug (Ref. Figure 201).
Although steering is automatic when the airplane is being towed by the nose strut, someone should ride
in the pilot's seat to operate the brakes in the event of an emergency.
CAUTION: Do not tow the airplane with rudder locks installed, except on airplanes equipped with
power steering, as severe damage to the steering linkage can result.
Never exceed the turning limits marked on the nose gear strut during ground handling
(Ref. Figure 201). The nose gear steering stop lugs are designed to withstand the loads
normally imposed through steering from the cockpit, not to prevent turn limitations from
being exceeded during towing. It is possible to overcome the stop during ground handling
and damage the steering linkage and nose strut. If the steering stop limitations are
exceeded inspect the nose gear steering stop lugs for cracks, bending or distortion
(Ref. Chapter 5-50-00, INSPECTION IN THE EVENT OF A BENT NOSE STEERING
STOP).
When using a tug, observe turn limits marked on the nose gear strut to prevent damage to nose gear.
When spotting the airplane, do not push on the propeller or control surfaces.
CAUTION: Never tow or taxi with a deflated strut. Even brief towing or taxiing with a deflated strut may
cause severe damage.

Set the brakes by depressing the pilot’s brake pedals and pulling out the parking brake control handle.
Do not attempt to lock the parking brake by applying force to the parking brake handle. It controls a
valve only and cannot apply pressure to the brake system. To release the brakes, depress the brake
pedals and push the parking brake control handle in.
CAUTION: Do not set the parking brake during low temperatures when the accumulation of moisture
may cause the brakes to freeze, or when they are hot from severe use.

B. Control Locks
WARNING: The flight control gust locks provided by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation for its
products are in compliance with federal regulations to provide an unmistakable
warning to the pilot when the lock is engaged.
When necessary or desirable to use flight control gust locks, use only the flight
control gust lock assembly specified by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation for that
particular airplane.
When a flight control gust lock assembly is used, the lock must be correctly and
fully installed, including the rudder pedal lock and throttle control lock.
The control lock (29, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) consist of a U-shaped clamp and two pins connected
by a chain. The pins lock the primary flight controls and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine
power control levers and serves to warn the pilot not to start the engines with the control locks installed.
It is important that the locks be installed or removed together to prevent the possibility of an attempt to
taxi or fly the airplane with the power levers released and the pins still installed in the flight controls.
Perform the Control Lock Installation Procedure (Ref. Chapter 27-70-00).
WARNING: Before staring the engines, remove the control locks.
Remove the control locks before towing the airplane. If towed while the rudder lock
is installed, serious damage to the steering linkage can result.

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When installing new placards, rig pin must be properly installed in the hole to verify that
the correct hole is identified.
The flight control rig pin fuselage and empennage placards are located near the applicable bellcrank in the
fuselage and empennage. These placards identify the location to install the applicable rig pin for the flight
control system being worked. These placards were installed per Field Service Kit 114-4062-0001. Figures
201 through 205 illustrate the approximate location of these placards.

A. Fuselage Rig Pin Placards


The fuselage rig pin placards are located in four separate locations of the fuselage. Two placards are in
the flight compartment area, one placard is located in the main fuselage area and one placard is located
in the aft fuselage area. The two placards located in the flight compartment area are for the rudder
forward bellcrank, located on the left side of the flight compartment forward of the pilot’s seat (rudder
gust lock hole), and the elevator forward bellcrank located on the left side of the flight compartment
forward and right of the pilot’s seat under panel 22 (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, FLOOR ACCESS PANELS).
The placard for the aileron system is located in the main fuselage area just aft of the main spar under
panel 16E (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, FLOOR ACCESS PANELS). The placard in the aft fuselage area is
located on the right side of the aft rudder torque tube. Access to this location is behind panel 8
(Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).

B. Empennage Rig Pin Placard


The empennage rig pin placards are for the aft elevator bellcrank located at the top aft section of the
vertical stabilizer under panel 34 (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, STABILIZER ACCESS PANELS). One placard
is installed on the left side and one on the right side of the vertical stabilizer.

1. GENERAL
WARNING: WHEN AN AIRPLANE HAS EXPERIENCED ABNORMAL LANDING GEAR PROCEDURES
OF ANY TYPE, AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, PLACE THE AIRPLANE ON JACKS PRIOR
TO PERFORMING ANY INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE. ENSURE THAT ALL THREE
LANDING GEARS ARE DOWN AND LOCKED PRIOR TO REMOVING THE AIRPLANE
FROM THE JACKS.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
Servicing information contained in this chapter is limited to the types of servicing that are of a general nature
concerned with servicing of the overall airplane. Servicing procedures for specific components of the airplane
are in the chapter applicable to the component. Section 12-10-00 covers information pertinent to the
replenishing of fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, tire pressures, etc. Section 12-20-00 contains information concerning

1. FUEL SYSTEM

A. Water and Foreign Material Contamination


All hydrocarbon fuels contain some dissolved and some suspended water. The quantity of water
contained in the fuel depends on temperature and the type of fuel. Kerosene tends to absorb and
suspend more water than aviation gasoline. Along with the water, it will suspend rust, lint and other
foreign materials longer. Given sufficient time, these suspended contaminants will settle to the bottom of
the tank. However, the settling time for kerosene is five times that of aviation gasoline. Due to this fact,
jet fuels require good fuel handling practices to assure that the aircraft is serviced with clean fuel.
If recommended ground procedures are carefully followed, solid contaminants will settle and free water
can be reduced to 30 parts per million (ppm), a value that is currently accepted by the major airlines.
Since most suspended matter can be removed from the fuel by sufficient settling time and proper
filtration, it is not a major problem. Dissolved water has been found to be the major fuel contamination
problem. Its effects are multiplied in airplanes operating primarily in humid regions and warm climates.
Dissolved water cannot be filtered from the fuel by a micronic type filter, but can be released by lowering
the fuel temperature, such as will occur in flight. For example, a kerosene fuel may contain 65 ppm
(8 ounces per 1000 gallons) of dissolved water at 80°F. When the fuel temperature is lowered to 15°F,
only about 25 ppm will remain in solution. The difference of 40 ppm will have been released as
super-cooled water droplets which need only a piece of solid contaminant or an impact shock to convert
them to ice crystals. Tests indicate that these water droplets will not settle during flight and are pumped
freely through the system. If they become ice crystals in the tank, they will not settle since the specific
gravity of ice is approximately equal to that of kerosene. Forty (40) ppm of suspended water seems like
a very small quantity, but when added to suspended water in the fuel at the time of delivery, it is
sufficient to ice a filter. While the critical fuel temperature range is from 0° to -20°F, which produces
severe system icing, water droplets can freeze at any temperature below 32°F.
Water in jet fuel also creates an environment favorable to the growth of a microbiological sludge in the
settlement areas of the fuel cells. This sludge, plus other contaminants in the fuel, can cause corrosion
of metal parts in the fuel system as well as clogging the fuel filters. Even though the Model 1900 Airliner
utilizes the latest corrosion resistant materials and techniques, the possibility of filter clogging and
corrosive attacks on various fuel system components may occur if contaminated fuels are introduced.
Since fuel temperature and settling time affect total water content and foreign matter suspension,
contamination can be minimized by keeping equipment clean, using adequate filtration equipment and
careful water drainage procedures, storing the fuel in the coolest areas possible, and allowing adequate
settling time. Underground storage is recommended for fuels. Filtering the fuel each time it is transferred
will minimize the quantity of suspended contaminants carried by the fuel.

B. Fuel Contamination Control


The primary means of fuel contamination control by the owner/operator is good housekeeping. This
applies not only to fuel supply, but to keeping the airplane system clean. The following is a list of Steps
that may be taken to recognize and prevent contamination problems.

(1) Know your supplier. It is impractical to assume that fuel free from contaminants will always be
available, but it is feasible to exercise precaution and be watchful for signs of fuel contamination.

Page 201
12-10-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Assure, as much as possible, that the fuel obtained has been properly stored, that it is filtered as it
is pumped to the truck, and again as it is pumped from the truck to the airplane.

(3) Perform filter inspections to determine if sludge is present.

(4) Maintain good housekeeping by periodically flushing the fuel tankage system. The frequency of
flushing will be determined by the climate and the presence of sludge.

(5) Use only clean fuel servicing equipment.

(6) After refueling, allow a three-hour settling period whenever possible, then drain a small amount of
fuel from each drain.

C. Fuel-Handling Safety Information


Fuel handling and maintenance on or near the fuel system when flammable fuel vapors are present
must be performed as cautiously as possible to prevent a fire or an explosion. The following safety
information must be complied with when handling fuel or during maintenance of the airplane fuel
system.
WARNING: The airplane and all equipment used in fueling or defueling must be properly
grounded to each other and to the ramp. This includes defueling equipment, work
stands, purging equipment, and any powered or pneumatic devices. Equip work
stands with a personnel static discharge plate of copper or zinc, affixed in such a
position that personnel can contact the plate before coming in contact with the
airplane. High static electrical charges are created by the contact and separation of
unlike substances, or by any sort of motion of persons or material, and are a
constant source of danger when generated in the presence of fuels or flammable
vapors. Grounding jacks are located near the fuel filler cap on each wing and on
each side of the fuselage nose section.
Do not drain fuel tanks near the end of the working day and allow them to stand
empty overnight. It could make conducive conditions for producing explosive
vapors. If the system is not completely empty, residual fuel drains down the sides of
the tank and forms puddles. During the night, fuel from the puddles evaporates into
the air in the tank and a critical fuel-air ratio develops. An explosion could be set off
by a spark. Avoid such a lapse of time between draining and purging of the fuel
tanks.
Ensure that the area is well ventilated before draining fuel.
No smoking within 50 feet of the airplane or any place where flammable fuel vapors
are present.
Place the battery and generator switches in the OFF position. Disconnect all
electrical power from the airplane before fueling.
If the fuel contacts the eyes, rinse with cool, fresh water and seek medical attention
immediately. Avoid allowing fuel to contact the skin. When contact cannot be
avoided, wash with mild soap and water.
Visually inspect all connections and hoses for leaks. If any leaks are indicated or
develop, discontinue servicing.

May 1/10 12-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Remove spilled fuel immediately to prevent the fuel-contaminated surface from causing
deicer boot and/or tire deterioration.
Do not fill the auxiliary fuel tanks until the main tanks are full.
Avoid damage to the deicer boots with refueling equipment or fuel spillage. The deicer
boots are made of a soft, flexible material which may be damaged if refueling hoses,
ladders or platforms are dragged across or rested against the deicer boot surfaces.
Do not rest the fuel nozzle in the filler neck of the tanks.

D. Fuel Grades and Types


Table 201 gives fuel refiner's brand name, along with the corresponding designations established by the
American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Society of Testing Material (ASTM). The brand
names are listed for ready reference and are not specifically recommended by Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation. Any product conforming to the recommended specification may be used.
Jet A, Jet A-1, Jet B, JP-4, JP-5, and JP-8 fuels may be mixed in any ratio. Aviation gasoline, grades 80
Red (formerly 80/87), 91/98, 100LL Blue, 100 Green (formerly 100/130), and 115/145 Purple are
emergency fuels and may be mixed in any ratio with the normal fuels when necessary. However, use of
the lowest octane rating available is suggested due to its lower lead content.
NOTE: In some countries, 100LL Blue is colored Green and designated 100L.
CAUTION: The use of aviation gasoline shall be limited to 150 hours operation during each Time
Between Overhaul (TBO) period.
The use of gasoline as a jet fuel should be minimized wherever possible due to adverse effects to the
hot section parts and the corrosion of turbine vanes.

E. Fuel Tank Filling (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


When filling the airplane fuel tanks, always observe the following:

(1) Make sure the airplane is statically grounded to the servicing unit and to the ramp.

Page 204
May 1/10 12-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Use a protective pad on the deicer boot. When inserting or removing the fuel nozzle,
use extreme care to prevent the fuel hose from rubbing against the deicer boot. Also,
do not allow fuel to contact the deicer boot.

(2) The fuel filler caps are located on the outboard leading edge of each wing near the wing tip,
providing single point refueling for each wing.

(3) Allow a three-hour settle period whenever possible, then drain a small amount of fuel from each
drain point.

F. Fuel Tank Filling (UC-1 and After)


(1) Ground the airplane to the servicing unit and to the ramp.

(2) The filler caps for the auxiliary tanks are located inboard of the nacelles and aft of the main spars.
The main tank filler caps are located on the leading edges near the wing tips. Fill the main tanks
first, then the auxiliary tanks.

CAUTION: Do not take off with fuel in auxiliary tanks only, even for flights of short duration.
Use a nonabrasive protective pad on the deicer boot to prevent contact with the fuel
hose. Do not allow any fuel to come into contact with the deicer boot.

(3) If possible, allow the fuel to settle for three hours and then drain a small amount of fuel from each
drain point.

G. Draining the Fuel System (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)
NOTE: Before beginning the defueling operation, always statically ground the airplane structure.
Remove the fuel filler cap from the wing being defueled during draining to prevent damage or
collapse of the fuel cells.

(1) Provide a large suitable container or tank for the fuel to drain into.

(2) Unscrew the drain valve from the bottom of the sump tank on the wing being defueled. The valve
is located on the LH or RH inboard wing near the fuselage.

(3) Screw in an AN815-12D union into the drain valve opening and connect a drain line. The fuel will
gravity drain as the check valve is unseated by the union.

(4) When fuel stops flowing from the fuel drain valve, open the sump drain valves to drain the residual
fuel. Open the sump drain valves with a fuel sump drain wrench (Figure 1 (Sheet 2 of 10), Chapter
91-00-00) or with a screw driver by pushing up. Rotate the valve one half turn to lock it open.

(5) After fuel has drained to desired level ensure fuel drain valves and sump drain valves are properly
closed. Install plug on fuel drain valve (removed in Step (2)) and safety wire.

(6) After refueling the affected tank ensure the fuel drain valves and sump drain valves (opened in
Steps (3) and (4)) do not leak.

12-10-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

H. Draining the Fuel System (UC-1 and After)


NOTE: Before beginning the defueling operation, always statically ground the airplane structure.

(1) Position an approved container large enough to hold the fuel that is to be drained under the drain
valve, and open the filler cap on the tank being drained.

NOTE: The drain valves for the main tanks are located immediately outboard of the lower nacelle
structure. The drain valves for the auxiliary tanks are located under the auxiliary pump
access covers. Each tank may be drained through its respective drain valve or the
auxiliary tank fuel may be pumped into the main tank and all fuel drained through the main
tank fuel drain.

(2) Remove the plug from the drain valve and screw an AN815-12 union and drain line into the valve.
Screwing the fitting into the valve will open the fuel check; thus, the drain line should be in the
catch container before the fitting is screwed into the valve.

(3) When fuel stops flowing from the fuel drain valve, open the sump drain valves to drain the residual
fuel. Open the sump drain valves with a fuel sump drain wrench (Figure 1 (Sheet 2 of 10), Chapter
91-00-00) or with a screw driver by pushing up. Rotate the valve one half turn to lock it open.

(4) After fuel has drained to desired level ensure fuel drain valves and sump drain valves are properly
closed. Install plug on fuel drain valve (removed in Step (2)) and safety wire.

(5) After refueling the affected tank ensure the fuel drain valves and sump drain valves (opened in
Steps (2) and (3)) do not leak.

I. Draining The Fuel System (Alternate Method)


WARNING: The fuel handling safety information under the heading FUEL HANDLING SAFETY
INFORMATION in this section must be complied with.
CAUTION: Do not fly the airplane with fuel in the auxiliary tanks only, even for flights of short duration.

(1) Position an approved defueling container large enough to accommodate the amount of fuel to be
removed from the airplane and statically ground the fuel container to the ramp.

(2) Before beginning the defueling operation, statically ground the airplane structure to the defueling
container and to the ramp.

(3) Remove the lower accessory panel from the applicable nacelle.

(4) Place the BATT switch to the ON position and pull the applicable FIRE PULL handle to close the
firewall shutoff valve.

(5) Place the BATT switch to the OFF position.

(6) Disconnect firewall fuel hose (2) at engine driven fuel pump (1) and connect a drain line to the
firewall fuel hose. Cap the engine driven fuel pump fitting to prevent contamination (Ref. Figure
201).

(7) Apply ground power to the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(8) Push in the applicable FIRE PULL handle to open the firewall shutoff valve.

May 1/10 12-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: This procedure will also drain the auxiliary fuel tank by placing the AUX PUMP switch in
the AUTO position. If desired, fuel may be left in the auxiliary fuel tank by placing the AUX
PUMP switch to the OFF position.
WARNING: Do not leave the airplane unattended while defueling.

(9) Move the appropriate (LEFT or RIGHT) STANDBY PUMP toggle switch, located on the fuel
control panel on the LH sidewall, to the ON position.

WARNING: Do not allow the standby boost pump to run without fuel flowing for more than
three minutes.

(10) To prevent overheating of the standby boost pump, visually confirm fuel is flowing into the fuel
container.

(11) When the fuel flow begins to slow, place the applicable (LEFT or RIGHT) STANDBY PUMP toggle
switch, located on the fuel control panel on the LH sidewall, to the OFF position.

NOTE: The opposite wing may be defueled without relocating the equipment by using the fuel
cross transfer system, although the rate of flow will be much slower.
It would be much faster to move the equipment to the opposite wing and repeat the entire
procedure.

(12) If no further defueling is required proceed to Step (13). If the opposite wing is to be defueled using
the cross transfer system, perform the following Steps:

(a) Position the TRANSFER FLOW toggle switch, located on the fuel control panel, toward the
wing with the defueling equipment connected.

WARNING: Do not allow the standby boost pump to run without fuel flowing for more
than three minutes.

(b) To prevent overheating of the standby boost pump, visually confirm fuel is flowing into the
fuel container.

(c) When the fuel flow begins to slow, place the TRANSFER FLOW toggle switch to the OFF
position.

(13) Pull the applicable FIRE PULL handle to close the firewall shutoff valve.

(14) Disconnect the drain line from the firewall fuel hose (2) (Ref. Figure 201).

(15) Remove the cap from the engine driven fuel pump (1) and connect the firewall fuel hose (2).

(16) Install the lower accessory panel on the applicable nacelle.

(17) Push in the applicable FIRE PULL handle to open the firewall shutoff valve.

(18) Remove ground power from the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(19) Use the sump drain valves to remove remaining fuel.

2. FUEL ADDITIVES
All JP-4 jet fuel produced in the U.S.A. is required to contain an anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-I-27686
or MIL-I-85470A (62, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in concentrations of 0.10 to 0.15 volume percent. However,
all other fuels, including aircraft kerosene, contain no additives.
Condensation of water in the fuel tanks increases the possibility of microbiological contamination of the fuel,
which can damage skins, coatings and sealants in the fuel tanks. The biocidal agent (63, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) contains anti-fungicidal and biocidal agents. Use of this additive in the fuel tanks will reduce the
possibility of contamination of the fuel and clogging of fuel filters and lines.
These anti-icing additives and biocidal agents may be used separately or together in the fuel system with no
detrimental effect on fuel system components.

A. Anti-Icing Additive, MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470A


MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470A Jet Fuel Anti-Icing Additive (62, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is primarily an
anti-icing agent. It should be noted that anti-icing additive does not alter the freeze point of the fuel;
however, when dissolved water separates from the fuel during a drop in temperature, the additive
quickly separates from the fuel to preferentially dissolve in the water, thereby depressing the freezing
point of the water to prevent the formation of ice in the fuel. The additive must be precisely blended into
the fuel by a metering device that permits injection of the agent into a flowing stream of fuel to ensure
even dispersal. Fuel distributors may tank or batch blend, or it may be preferred to blend at the airplane
when fueling. If the tanker truck is not equipped with a HI FLO Prist blender (Model PHF-204), it may be
necessary to carry the anti-icing and the blending device in the airplane. When blending the anti-icing
agent with fuel, the concentration of additive should not be less than 20 fluid ounces per 156 gallons of
fuel or more than 20 fluid ounces per 104 gallons of fuel. When adding previously blended fuel, the
additive concentration should not be less than 0.10 percent by volume or more than 0.15 percent by
volume. This additive should be used on a continuous basis.
What biocidal/antifungal properties do MIL-I-27686 OR MIL-I85470 fuel additives have?
Fuel additives conforming to MIL-I-27686 OR MIL-I-85470 do not have any specific referenced biocidal
requirements. Prior to the mid 90’s MIL-I-27686, or ethylene glycol monomethyl (EGMME) was used.
Some manufacturers (namely Prist) were able to market the anti-ice compound as microbiostat (not
microbiocide, - stat means it controls or retards growth, - cide means it kills microbes) because they had
their product certified as a pesticide. In the mid 90’s, the industry transferred from the use of
MIL-I-27686 to MIL-I-85470 diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DGMME). It is widely believed that
DEGMME does have a retarding effect on microbial growth, but is not officially claimed by additive
manufacturers. If any fungal or microbial growth is found in the fuel system, a biocidal agent should be
used.

B. Biocidal Agent
CAUTION: Drain water prior to refueling with biocidal agent. Excessive water concentrations in contact
with excessive biocidal agent concentrations can result in formation of solid crystalline
products in a fuel system.
Biocidal Agent (63, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is not an anti-icing agent and is intended to be used
specifically as a fuel biocide. The compound is an extremely efficient biocidal agent and is soluble in fuel
as well as water. Biocidal agent disperses throughout the entire fuel system to even the most remote
areas soon after introduction into the system. The compound is used as a periodic preventive treatment
in concentrations of 135 ppm when the airplane has been operated in an environment conducive to
fungal or microbial contamination, or when such contamination is evidenced by dirty sump drains,
clogged filters, odor, or visual evidence in the tanks, etc.

Page 209
12-10-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Kathon FP 1.5 is approved for the initial shock of fuel tanks. Do not use Kathon FP 1.5 for
preventative treatment.
NOTE: Kathon FP 1.5 suggested use is once every six months as a shock treatment.
Operating the airplane with a biocidal dosage at less than the recommended concentration
may create and environment conducive to fungal and microbial contamination.
Biobor JF in concentrations not to exceed 270 ppm, or Kathon FP 1.5 in a concentration of 100 ppm
may be used as a single dose shock treatment to clean out and sterilize a very contaminated system.
Any system that is contaminated should be treated at the concentration level for the appropriate biocide
used. When sterility is achieved, the Biobor JF at the 135 ppm level may be used. Parked airplanes
require only one treatment until fuel is burned off or replaced. The biocidal agent is not volatile and may
remain in the tank until the fuel is used.
The preferred method of introducing biocidal agents into the fuel is by injection through a metering
device. If no metering device is available, blending may be accomplished by batch blending or by
over-the-wing blending while filling the tanks. When half of the required quantity of fuel has been added,
gradually introduce the compound directly into the stream of fuel while adding the other half of the fuel.
Complete mixing is necessary, depending upon the severity of the contamination.
Biobor JF or Kathon FP 1.5 must be used at a high enough concentration to kill, not just control the
infestation. The mixture must be able to contact the entire surface of the fuel tank interior and remain in
contact a minimum of 36 to 72 hours for Biobor JF or 12 to 72 hours for Kathon FP 1.5 to affect the kill.
The longer the time the biocide remains the better the biocide will work. During the soak time the
airplane should not be moved or the engines run. Refer to Table 202 or Table 203 for fuel ratios for
specified concentrations as an aid in blending. Tank surfaces, gages, filters and linings should be
inspected or replaced as necessary, depending upon the severity of the contamination. Be sure to
account for residual fuel in the tanks so that proper dosage is maintained.

3. OIL SYSTEM
Servicing the engine oil system involves maintaining the engine oil at the proper level.
The engine oil tank is provided with a filler neck and a quantity dipstick and cap located at the 11 o'clock
position on the accessory gear case. The dipstick is marked in U.S. quarts and indicates the amount required
to fill the tank. Access to the oil dipstick cap is gained by opening the small access door in the upper aft
cowling.
CAUTION: Do not mix different brands of oil when adding oil between oil changes. Different brands of oil
may be incompatible due to the difference in their chemical structure.
The total oil tank capacity is 10 quarts. An additional 4.4 quarts of oil is required to fill the lines and cooler,
giving a total system capacity of 14.4 quarts; however, because of the residual oil trapped in the system, no
more than 13 quarts should be added during an oil change.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Check the oil level as follows: any time the oil has been changed or the engine has remained stationary for
more than 12 hours:
a) Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
b) Shut down the engine and check the oil level.

4. TIRES
The Model 1900 Series Airliner uses FOUR 22 x 6.75 - 10, 8-ply, 160 mph, tubeless type tires on the main
landing gears and ONE 19.5 x 6.75 - 8, 10-ply, rib tread, 160-mph, tube type or tubeless tire on the nose
landing gear.
CAUTION: Tires that have picked up a fuel or oil film should be washed down as soon as possible with a
detergent solution to prevent contamination of the rubber.

Table 204
Tire pressure
Main Landing Gear Tires Main Landing Gear Tires Nose Landing Gear Tires
(Loaded) (On Jacks)
95 psi 91 psi 60 psi

Tire pressure should be checked on a regular basis. The intervals may be determined by individual
experience utilizing operating and servicing requirements. Such a servicing program will help prevent tire
damage from excessive pressure loss due to a slow leak or an extensive drop in temperature.
Maintaining the proper tire inflation pressure shown in Table 204 will help to avoid damage from landing
shock and contact with sharp stones and ruts, and will minimize tread wear. When inflating tires, inspect them
for cuts, cracks, breaks and tread wear. The pressure of a serviceable tire that is fully inflated should not drop
more than 4% over a 24-hour period. For the most accurate reading, tire pressure should be checked when
the tires are cool; consequently, wait at least 2 hours (3 hours in hot weather) after a flight before checking
tire pressure.

5. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Servicing the hydraulic landing gear system consists of maintaining the correct fluid level. A fill can, located
just inboard of the LH nacelle and forward of the main spar, contains a cap and dipstick assembly marked
FILL WARM - COLD. Prior to removing the fill can lid, the knob on the manual bleed valve must be depressed
to relieve air pressure in the power pack reservoir. Add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) as
required to fill the system. Approximately 2 3/4 gallons of hydraulic fluid is required to fill a completely empty
system.
NOTE: When filling the hydraulic system, the air being displaced by the hydraulic fluid will need to be
relieved out the manual bleed valve. Occasionally depress the button on the manual bleed valve to
relieve this air pressure and to allow the system to fill faster. This action will also allow the dipstick
reading to more accurately indicate the amount of fluid in the system.

6. BRAKE SYSTEM
Brake system servicing is limited to maintaining the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir mounted in the upper
LH corner of the aft bulkhead of the nose avionics compartment. When no fluid is visible in the reservoir sight
glass, add a sufficient quantity of hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to raise the fluid level to the

Page 212
May 1/10 12-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

lower edge of the filler neck. Approximately 1 gallon of fluid is required to fill a completely empty system if
power steering is installed. If power steering is not installed, approximately 1/2 gallon of fluid is required to fill
a completely empty system.

7. ANTISKID BRAKE SYSTEM


Brake system servicing is limited to maintaining the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir mounted in the upper
RH corner of the aft bulkhead of the nose avionics compartment. To check the fluid level, turn the master
switch ON, turn the anti-skid switch OFF, ensure that the parking brake is off, remove the reservoir cap and
depress the brake pedals 15 to 20 times to deplete the accumulator. If no fluid is visible in the reservoir sight
glass, add a sufficient quantity of hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to raise the fluid level to the
lower edge of the filler neck.

8. AIR CYCLE MACHINE


NOTE: Do not mix different types of oil when filling.
Check the quantity of oil contained in the see-thru oil sump and add oil as required to maintain a full sump.
The manufacturer's recommendation for lubricating oil to be used in the air cycle machine is Exxon 2389;
however, any oil conforming to MIL-L-7808G (72, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be used. Approximately
1/2 pint of fluid is required to fill a completely empty air cycle machine.

9. OXYGEN SYSTEM
WARNING: When filling the oxygen system, use only MIL-O-27210 Aviator's Breathing Oxygen
(28, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Do not use oxygen intended for medical purposes, or
industrial purposes such as welding. Such oxygen may contain excessive moisture that
could freeze in the valves and lines of the oxygen system.
Access to the pressure gage and filler valve of the oxygen system may be gained through an access door
located on the LH side of the nose section below the nose baggage compartment. To recharge the oxygen
system, remove the protective cap from the filler valve and attach the hose from an oxygen recharging cart to
the filler valve. Make sure that the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment are properly
grounded before servicing the system.
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of the
airplane. Make sure that the oxygen shutoff valve control (placarded OXYGEN PULL ON)
located on the subpanel to the left of the copilot's seat is in the OFF position. Inspect the
filler connection for cleanliness before attaching it to the filler valve. Make sure that your
hands, tools, and clothing are clean, particularly of grease or oil, for these contaminants
will ignite upon contact with pure oxygen under pressure. As a further precaution against
fire, open and close all oxygen valves slowly.
To prevent overheating, fill the oxygen system slowly by adjusting the recharging rate with the pressure
regulating valve on the cart. At a temperature of 70°F., the dual 76.5-cubic foot cylinders should be filled to
1,850 psig. This pressure may be increased an additional 3.5 psig for each degree of increase in
temperature; conversely, for each degree of drop in temperature, reduce the pressure for the cylinder(s) by
3.5 psig (Ref. Table 205). When the oxygen system is properly charged, disconnect the filler hose from the
filler valve and replace the protective cap on the filler valve. If at any time, in the process of servicing and
purging the system or replacing the oxygen cylinder, it becomes necessary to disconnect a fitting, the threads
of the fitting should be wrapped with thread sealer (27, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) prior to being connected
back into the system.
NOTE: Refer to Advisory Circular 43.13-1A for the additional servicing precautions recommended by the
FAA on the oxygen systems. For additional information (Ref. Chapter 35-00-00).

1. GENERAL
This chapter is supplemented by Chapter 20-10-01 of the 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual.

2. ENGINE EXTERNAL WASHING PROCEDURES


CAUTION: Never wash an engine while it is running or hot. After the engine has been shut down, allow it to
cool for at least one hour prior to washing. Electrical components and plugs on the engine and in
the engine compartment should be covered/protected during the engine wash. Use dry shop air
to dry all components after washing. Do not allow water into the engine air inlet or the exhaust.
Do not direct high pressure water or solvent directly into mechanical parts having air vent holes,
such as the fuel control units.

A. Salt Water Contamination


If the exterior surface of the engine is contaminated with salt, it should be washed thoroughly with water
prior to the next flight of the airplane. Demineralized water is not required for this purpose. At no time
should an engine be left in a contaminated (salted) condition for any extended period of time, such as
overnight.

B. Fire Extinguisher Agent Contamination


In the event of engine contamination by fire extinguishing agents, refer to the latest revision of PT6A-65
Engine Maintenance Manual P/N 3032842 or subsequent.
CAUTION: If the engine inhales a fire extinguishing compound, it must be cleaned, removed, and
disassembled for a thorough internal cleaning. If the engine fire extinguisher is discharged,
the engine baffling will prevent entry of the extinguishing compound into the engine; thus
only an external engine washing is required. Most incidences of fire extinguisher compound
ingestion are the result of ground personnel using an external extinguisher during engine
operation.

3. CLEANING AIRPLANE EXTERIORS


CAUTION: Contamination or washout of grease in wheel bearings will damage bearings and may result in
loss of the wheel.
Prior to washing, attach the pitot cover securely and plug or mask off all other openings. Be particularly
careful to mask off all static air ports before washing or waxing. Use special care to avoid washing away
grease from any lubricated area. Prior to cleaning, cover such areas as wheels, brakes, etc. Always be sure
all maskings and coverings are removed before returning the airplane to service. Lubricate after cleaning as
necessary.
The urethane finish undergoes a curing process for a period of time after application. During the first month
after paint application, some special care is required. Airplane owners should observe the following
recommendations in order to preserve the durability and appearance of the airplane paint.

Page 201
12-20-00 May 1/11
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

A. Cleaning During Curing Period (One Month)


(1) Avoid prolonged flights in heavy rain or sleet. Avoid any operating conditions which might cause
abrasion or premature finish deterioration.

(2) Clean the airplane with mild detergents and water only. Use a clean soft rag, keeping it free from
dirt and grime. Rinse with clear water thoroughly.

(3) Use no waxes, polishes, rubbing compounds, or abrasive cleaners of any type. The use of such
items can permanently damage the surface finish.

(4) Stubborn oil or soot deposits on cowlings, wheel wells, etc. may be removed gently with
automotive tar removers.

B. Cleaning After Curing Period


(1) Wash the airplane regularly. Use mild detergents and water only. Rinsing thoroughly with clear
water prevents detergent residue buildup that can dull the paint appearance.

(2) Normally, waxing is not necessary; however if waxing is desired, select a high quality automotive
or airplane waxing product. Never use rubbing compounds or abrasive cleaners of any type.

C. Environmental Fallout (Acid Rain)


In certain areas of the country where chemicals may be present in the atmosphere, it is best to avoid
outside storage when damp conditions exist. Acids which remain in standing water can stain the paint
topcoat and cause permanent damage to the finish. Flush off residual moisture with clean tap water and
dry the surface. At this time, waxing the surface can provide protection from acid rain damage.

D. Waxing Airplane Finishes


A good coat of wax will protect the airplane finish from the sun's rays and protect the surface against
oxidation. Use a high quality automotive or airplane wax. Do not use a wax containing silicone because
silicone materials are difficult to remove.

E. Surface Deicer Boots


The surfaces of the deicer boots should be checked for indications of engine oil after servicing and at
the end of each flight. Any oil spots that are found should be removed with a nondetergent soap and
water solution. Care should be taken when cleaning to avoid scrubbing the boots because the
conductive coating (A56B) must not be removed from the boot surface. The boots are made of soft,
flexible stock that can be damaged if gasoline hoses are dragged over the surface of the boots or if
ladders or platforms are rested against them.

F. Landing Gear
The landing gear (nose and main) should be washed with low pressure water and mild detergent as
soon as is practical following operation on salty or muddy runways. Using low pressure air, blow off all
water before flight or storage of the airplane.

G. Placard Replacement
Ensure all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or touched up
after repairs. Replace any placards that have been defaced after such repainting or repairs.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

H. Plastic Windows
The plastic windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches and crazing,
wash the windows carefully with plenty of soap and running water.
CAUTION: When washing the windshield, do not use water from a bucket or pail. Sand, dirt particles or
other debris may collect in the standing water and cause scratches in the plastic.
Use the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may be
used only for the purpose of carrying water to the surface of the window. After washing, rinse the
window thoroughly with running water and dry it with a clean, moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic
window with a dry cloth, because this will cause an electrostatic charge which attracts dust.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene (49, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), solvent
(54, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or hexane (51, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), then rinse the window with
clear water.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, benzene, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or
anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner, or glass cleaner with a base of these materials, for such
materials will soften the plastic and may cause crazing. Aliphatic naptha and similar
solvents are highly flammable and extreme care must be exercised when using these
chemicals.
If it is desirable to use a commercial cleaner to clean the plastic windows, use only cleaners that are
approved by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. There are several cleaners available commercially that
state that they are approved for use on acrylic surfaces. However, it has been discovered that some of
these cleaners cause acrylic plastic to craze. Therefore, only the following product is approved as a
cleaner for acrylic plastic windows: plexiglas polish and cleaner (48, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Follow
the directions on the container.
After washing plastic windows with soap and water, apply a good grade of commercial wax. The wax
will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratches. Apply a thin, even coat of wax and bring it
to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Never use a power buffer, as the
heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.
If the windows were cleaned with one of the commercial cleaners mentioned previously, it will not be
necessary to apply wax. Each of these cleaners contains wax, as well as cleaning agents.

I. Windshields
Glass windshields with antistatic coating should be cleaned as follows:

(1) Wash excessive dirt and other substances from the glass with clean water.

(2) Clean the windshield with mild soap and water or with a 50/50 solution of solvent (30, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) and water. Wipe the glass surface in a straight rubbing motion with a soft cloth
or sponge. Never use any abrasive materials or any strong acids or bases to clean the glass.

(3) Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry, but do not apply wax.

NOTE: It is essential that the windshield wipers be thoroughly cleaned. Operating the wipers
when they are dirty is a common source of scratches on the windshield. Do not attempt to
polish out such nicks or scratches in the glass surface.

12-20-00 May 1/11
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4. CLEANING AIRPLANE INTERIORS


The seats, rug, upholstery panels and headlining should be vacuum-cleaned frequently to remove as much
surface dust as possible.
Experience has shown that commercial, foam-type cleaners or shampoos can be used to condition the
surfaces of rugs, carpets and upholstered materials. The upholstery should be vacuum-cleaned, and the
stains should be removed. A solution of the cleaner can be prepared by mixing a small amount in a bucket of
water and beating the solution until a heavy foam forms.
Apply the foam uniformly with a brush over the surface to be cleaned, then remove the suds with a vacuum
cleaner or by wiping the surface with a brush or cloth. Because there is very little moisture in this foam,
wetting of the fabric or retention of moisture in the warp does not occur. Unlacquered metal fittings and
furnishings within the airplanes can be cleaned using most commercial metal polishes. Use a soft, clean rag
for application; then polish to a brilliant gloss with a dry cloth. Protect the finish with a good grade of wax.

A. Upholstery
The most effective method of cleaning upholstery is directly dependent on the type of upholstery
involved. For instance, a fabric type of upholstery that has been flame-proofed should never be treated
by the application of cleaners with a water base. The reason for this is that the flame retardant on the
fabric is water soluble and will be diluted to a point where the fire-resistant quality is rendered useless.
Also, the natural capillary action of the water in the fabric will cause the salts of the flame-retardant
chemicals to rise to the surface resulting in unsightly faded spots.
NOTE: Clean wool and wool-blended upholstery fabrics by dry-cleaning ONLY. After 5 dry cleanings,
have the upholstery treated with a fire retardant at a service company or spray the fabric with a
fire retardant (105, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or equivalent.
Clean the fabric upholstery manually as follows:

(1) Remove the upholstery from the airplane.

(2) Use a stiff-bristled brush and brush the upholstery along the weave. (A nylon-bristled fingernail
brush can be used).

(3) Vacuum the entire surface to remove any salt residue or dirt stains.

(4) Apply dry cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) sparingly on a lint-free cloth and clean
stains as required.

(5) Allow the upholstery to completely dry.

(6) Treat the upholstery with a fire retardant (105, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(7) Install the upholstery.

Clean leather upholstery with a nonabrasive, chemically neutral, nonreactive, emulsion-type


cleaner such as saddle soap. Apply it over the dirty surface using a sponge or soft cloth (use a
gentle, wiping motion; do not scrub). Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the material surface. Wipe
the cleaner off before it drys. Treat leather after cleaning with wax or a leather conditioner.

B. Interior Cabin Trim


CAUTION: To prevent damage to the plastic interior trim, never use MPK, naptha, mufti, stoddard
solvent, gasoline, lacquer thinner, or other types of paint cleaners as cleaning agents.
Using soap and water, wash the plastic interior trim. Scrubbing with a brush and detergent soap will
usually provide adequate cleansing; however, alcohol may be used to remove contaminants that are
soluble in alcohol.

5. LUBRICATION

A. Sealed Bearings
Sealed bearings are prepacked with grease and do not require periodic lubrication. Sealed bearings
must be replaced when normal airplane inspection procedures indicate that the bearing will no longer
operate satisfactorily. The lubrication of sealed bearings must not be attempted unless facilities are
available for removing and replacing seals. When sealed bearings are cleaned and lubricated, the work
must be done in strict compliance with applicable bearing maintenance directives.

B. Wheel Bearing Lubrication


CAUTION: Improper axle nut installation, mixing of lubricants, contamination or washout of grease in
wheel bearings will damage bearings and may result in loss of the wheel.
DO NOT MIX lubricants of different types or manufacturers. If the lubricant is changed or
unknown, make certain that all the affected components are thoroughly cleaned before
lubrication.
Wheel bearing grease lubrication intervals vary significantly depending upon the operation of the
individual airplane. Grease change intervals at tire change is acceptable if the service history has been
satisfactory. If the service history is unknown or if the history dictates shorter intervals, Operators should
change grease at 200 hour intervals or at tire change (which ever comes first) unless a longer interval
can be shown to be acceptable.
Exercise care when washing area. Contamination or washout of grease in the wheel bearing will
damage the bearing and may result in loss of the wheel.
When performing wheel bearing lubrication, inspect bearings, hub caps, and seals for condition.
Replace any questionable parts. Perform the MAIN WHEEL INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter
32-40-00) or the NOSE WHEEL INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 32-40-00). Ensure the axle
nuts are properly torqued and safetied.

C. Spline Drives
The engines have wet spline lubrication and lubrication of the splines is not required when installing an
accessory. The air conditioning compressor end of the quill shaft requires lubrication. For lubrication of
the quill shaft splines (Ref. Chapter 21-52-02).

D. Gaskets and Packings


When lubricating gaskets and packings, use the type of fluid in the system for the gaskets and packings.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

E. Control Cables and Cable Pressure Seals


Clean the pressure seals and the control cables for the length of travel through the pressure seals with
cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Fill the seal with lubricant and lubricate the cleaned
area of the cable and one inch beyond with grease (23, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). On all the
remaining length of cable, apply corrosion-preventive compound (11, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) with a
brush. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth.

F. Lubrication of Threads
Lubricate all plumbing fittings with the proper lubricant (Ref. Figure 201 and Table 201).
When applying lubricants, observe the following rules:

(1) Clean the threads before applying the lubricant.

(2) Use only thin coats of the selected thread lubricant.

(3) Apply lubricant to the male threads only.

(4) Do not lubricate the first two threads.

(5) Never allow lubricant to enter fittings or flare areas.

(6) On flared tube fittings, apply a small amount of lubricant on the back face of the sleeve shoulder.
This is to prevent the sleeve from turning with the nut and galling the flare.

G. Lubrication Schedule
The lubrication illustrations are organized so that related items requiring lubrication are grouped
together. Each lubrication point listed in Table 202 is identified as indexed on the accompanying
illustration. Lubrication time intervals are incremented to occur only at times coincident with the detailed
inspection intervals (Ref. Chapter 05-20-00).

1. INFORMATION

A. De-icing and Anti-icing of Airplanes on the Ground


(1) De-icing is the removal of ice, frost and snow from the airplane’s exterior after it has formed.
Anti-icing is a means of keeping the surface clear of subsequent accumulations of ice, snow and
frost.

(2) Snow and ice on an airplane will seriously affect its performance. Even formation of a smooth
covering of ice on the wing will change the contour of the wing, producing an increase in drag and
a reduction in effective lift coefficient. Frost or frozen snow may present an even greater hazard
since the surface texture is rough and will seriously disrupt the smooth flow of air across the wing.

B. De-icing and Anti-icing Fluids


(1) Hawker Beechcraft Corporation has evaluated and approved the following de-ice/anti-ice fluids for
use on this model:

(a) SAE Type I Anti-icing Fluids (Unthickened-Type Fluids)

Type I fluids (115, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) mainly provide protection against refreezing
when there is no precipitation.

(b) SAE Type II Anti-icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids)

Type II fluids (115, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) provide protection against refreezing when
precipitation occurs.

(c) SAE Type III Anti-icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids)

Type III fluids (115, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) provide protection against refreezing when
precipitation occurs

(d) SAE Type IV Anti-icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids)

Type IV fluids (115, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) provide protection against refreezing when
precipitation occurs.

Page 201
12-30-00 Feb 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

All approved Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV fluids may be used for either de-icing or
anti-icing at any dilution as allowed by the fluid manufacturer's recommendations.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation cannot accept responsibility for damage to the airplane
finish, windows, rubber seals, etc. resulting from the use of de-icing fluids not conforming to
the specified specifications.
These fluids were chosen according to the following specifics:

1 Noncorrosive.

2 Do not deteriorate rubber, painted surfaces, or plastics.

3 Have a high flash point.

4 Nontoxic.

5 Good self-wetting and antifoaming characteristics.

2. REMOVE FROST, SNOW OR ICE


WARNING: Remove all snow, ice and frost before flight.
Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV; Glycols are listed in the ‘harmful’ category. You must
wear protective goggles, protective gloves and clothing when you handle this material.
Keep the material away from skin and eyes.
Inhalation of glycol mists, aerosols, or high concentration of heated vapors poses a
hazard to humans. Apply deicing fluid only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid inhaling
vapors or mists. If adequate ventilation, designed to keep mists or vapors below harmful
levels, is not available, maintenance personnel must wear approved respiratory
protective devices.
De-icing fluid Type I, has a limited period of effectiveness (referred to as ‘Holdover Times
(HOT)’). The use of Type I fluid should only be considered where Type II, Type III or Type
IV fluids are not available.
CAUTION: Make sure that the correct fluid application equipment and correct procedures are used by
qualified personnel so that the fluid will perform to the specifications.
Fluid failure is complex and dependent on:
• Percent mix
• Type and rate of precipitation
• Product Holdover Time (HOT), and other variables
Each product is unique and reference must be made to the manufacturers recommendations and
the FAA guidelines which are published each year.
Though these fluids pass the DTD crazing test for transparent panels, do not apply hot spray
directly onto window panels or seals as damage may occur.
The fluids identified in this procedure are for ground de-icing/anti-icing only and are not intended
for and do not provide protection during flight.

Page 202
Feb 1/10 12-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Residue from thickened de-icing/anti-icing fluids (Type ll, Type III or Type lV) can remain in
aerodynamically quiet areas and accumulate over time. This residue can re-hydrate and expand
into a gel-like material that could freeze during flight and cause restrictions in the flight control
systems. The accumulation of residual fluid is more prevalent when using a one-step de-icing/
anti-icing process which is commonly used in Europe.
For operators using the one-step application process, visually inspect flight control systems for
the presence of dry or re-hydrated fluid at least twice during the winter operations season.
For operators using the two-step application process, visually inspect flight control systems for
the presence of dry or re-hydrated fluid once at the end of the winter operations season, as a
recommended minimum procedure.
Each operator must determine their own frequency of inspection based on the operational tempo
of their airplane or fleet. For additional information concerning this guidance please contact the
HBC field service representative or the Technical Support telephone line.

A. Guidelines to Holdover Times (HOT)


(1) Visit FAA web site (www.faa.gov) and in the search field type [Holdover Time Tables] and press
go/search. A listing will be called up that will include (but is not limited to) documents that read
“FAA - Approved de-icing Program Updates” for the current year. When the Web Site cannot be
accessed or questions arise, contact FAA Flight Standards, Washington DC at 202.267.8166 or
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation 1.800.429.5372 or 316.676.3140.

(2) Before take-off the pilot in command must be satisfied the airplane is clear of frost, snow or ice,
within the limitations stated in the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual.

(3) If the holdover time is exceeded and visual/tactile investigation of flight surfaces is not possible,
then the airplane should be returned for further treatment with de-icing/anti-icing fluid prior to
takeoff.

(4) Freezing point of SAE/ISO Type I fluid mixture used must be at a minimum of 10°C (18°F) below
OAT.

B. General Application
WARNING: Make sure the airplane is grounded before any work is started.
While these procedures are done, the surfaces will be very slippery due to snow, ice,
or de-icing/anti-icing fluid; use a servicing stand whenever possible. If a stand is not
available, use mainplane mats, safety belts, and take other similar precautions.
Always stand upwind of the airplane.
De-icing/anti-icing fluids are toxic. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, use goggles
and protective clothing.
Functional check of flight controls - If an airplane has been extremely iced or snow
covered, a flight control check should be done. This check should be repeated after
de-icing.

Page 203
12-30-00 Feb 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some instances be lower than the OAT. A
stronger mix (more glycol) can be used under these conditions.
The de-icing/anti-icing fluid used must be to a concentration and at a temperature in
accordance with the fluid manufacturer's instructions, provided the following limitations are
not exceeded:
• For heated fluids, a temperature of 60° C (140° F) at the nozzle is desirable. The upper
temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and airplane manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Before you apply fluid, ground the airplane and make sure the covers and blanks are
installed to the equipment that follows:
- Static vents
- Pitot heads
- Stall detector vanes
To prevent possible ingestion of de-icing fluid, do not operate the engines or APU (if
applicable) while de-icing is in progress.
After snow is cleared from the surfaces, make sure the areas listed below are free from
snow or ice:
- All air intakes
- Control surface hinges
- Gaps between wing trailing edge shroud and flaps, airbrakes and ailerons
- Gaps between horizontal stabilizer and elevators
- Gaps between rudder and vertical stabilizer
- Wheel brakes
- Landing gear bays
- All doors and external drains
- Cold air unit ram air exhaust outlet and duct
The directions given in the fluid manufacturer’s instructions with reference to the possibility
of mixing UCAR ULTRA with the residues of other fluids must be strictly adhered to. Minor
contamination with Type I fluids can significantly degrade the anti-icing performance.

C. Remove Frost
(1) Spray with de-icing/anti-icing fluid to fluid manufacturer’s instructions.

(2) Under severe frost forming conditions, after defrosting, give a further light application of the
concentrated fluid to make sure the maximum holdover period.

D. Remove Sleet and Freezing Rain


CAUTION: After spraying, examine surface thoroughly, as ice formed by freezing rain can be difficult to
see under the de-icing fluid and may require touch for confirmation.
• Spray with undiluted de-icing/anti-icing fluid.

E. Remove Snow
(1) Dry snow

(a) Remove by brushing, or by the application of a cold air blast, taking care not to trap the snow
in the control surface gaps and hinges.

(b) If the ambient temperature is above freezing, the snow can be removed by the application of
a hot air blast, and the cleared surface sprayed with diluted de-icing/anti-icing fluid.

(2) Wet snow

(a) Remove with rubber squeegees, taking care not to trap the snow in the control surface gaps
and hinges.

(b) If ice has formed under the snow, clear by spraying with de-icing/anti-icing fluid.

(3) Frozen snow and ice films

(a) Clear off any loose snow, then apply a heavy spray of de-icing/anti-icing fluid to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

• Brush the snow as the fluid is being applied; this will assist in breaking up the
deposit and help to retain the fluid on the deposit. When all frozen deposits have
been removed, give a final light spray.

(b) If the ambient temperature is above 0°C (32°F), ducted hot air blasts may be used to
disperse the ice.

• Do not use hot air blasts near windows, and take extreme care to prevent damage
by overheating to painted surfaces, rubber, glass, acrylic or glass fibre, hydraulic
pipelines, grease or oiled surfaces.
• Brush off or mop up water resulting from melted ice, as soon as possible.

F. De-ice the Windshield


• Lightly spray windshield with fluid, windshield washing (DTD.900AA/4939A). If smearing
occurs, wipe clear using a warm damp rag.

G. De-ice the Landing Gear


CAUTION: De-icing/anti-icing fluid must not come into contact with landing gear electrical plugs and
harnesses.
Do not let de-icing/anti-icing fluid contact brake units.

(1) Brush-off loose accumulations of snow with soft brush.

(2) Remove stubborn deposits with a rag soaked in de-icing/anti-icing fluid.

H. Anti-icing
• If meteorological reports predict the onset of freezing rain or heavy frost deposits, an
anti-icing spray of cold (or hot if cold not available) concentrated ground de-icing/anti-icing
fluid Type II, Type III or Type IV, will give limited holdover protection times, guidance for
which is contained in Web Site mentioned in paragraph GUIDELINES TO HOLDOVER
TIMES (HOT). If the precipitation is extremely heavy, deposits will form on top of the coating,
but these will have little, if any, adhesion to the surfaces and can be easily removed with a
light spray of hot diluted fluid.

I. Fluid Spills
Glycol-based deicing fluids are biodegradable in water. Only gross contamination of slow moving or
restricted bodies of water would be likely to cause any serious environmental impact. Typical field-use
concentrations of deicing fluids, particularly when diluted by snow, ice or water, causes little or no injury
to most broad leaf plants, grasses perennial ground cover, and woody plants.
Minor leaks or spills of deicing fluid in storage areas must be soaked up with an absorbent material,
such as sawdust, vermiculite, an all-purpose commercial oil absorbent, or sand. Carefully shovel the
absorbent/deicing fluid into an appropriate container for disposal.
Spilled, leaked, or contaminated deicing fluid must be disposed of in strict compliance with all applicable
federal, state, and local regulations and ordinances.

J. Remove Salt or Chemical Agents


CAUTION: Do not use high pressure water; damage may result to electrical equipment and lubricated
components.

(1) Where contamination has occurred on the structure, due to the airplane landing on airfields where
the snow or ice has been dispersed with salt or chemical melting agents:

(a) Wash down the affected areas with clean water as soon as possible. A wetting agent, such
as detergent cleaner (Teepol TS610) or Comprex A, may be added in small quantities.

(b) When the time or conditions prevent removal of the contamination at outstations, this must
be noted in the technical log, so that appropriate action may be taken to remove it at main
base.

K. Residue from De-ice/Anti-ice


(1) Inspection

(a) Gain access to areas, potentially affected by residue, where flight controls and other systems
components are located.

(b) Visually inspect for the presence of dry or rehydrated residue anywhere in these areas. The
residue may be difficult to see, especially if dry. Dry residue tends to be in the form of a thin
film that may be partially covered with grease or dirt. Rehydrated residue often appears as a
gel-like substance which is thicker and therefore more visible.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Cleaning

(a) After identifying any residue it should be removed by using warm water with rags and/or soft
bristle brushes to clean the gel-like material away.

CAUTION: Make sure the water or compressed air does not cause any residue to enter
areas that are not accessible. Do not allow runoff from the cleaning process to
enter other areas of the airplane.
Avoid spraying cleaning fluids onto bearings, fittings, control cables and
electrical connectors.
Do not spray controls with water if the ambient temperature is below freezing
unless the airplane is located in a heated hangar.
This cleaning process can, potentially, remove grease from control system
bearings and fittings, and remove corrosion inhibitors from control cables.

(b) The use of a low-pressure stream of water or compressed air to rinse away any residue may
prove helpful. Using Type I de-icing fluid, or a mixture of water and Type I fluid, is also a good
cleaning agent for removal of residue.

(3) Relubrication (if required)

• If residue has been found and removed by cleaning, it is recommended that all
bearings, fittings, and control cables in the affected area be relubricated (Ref. Chapter
12-20-00, 201, SCHEDULED SERVICING).

3. FIRE EXTINGUISHER AGENT CONTAMINATION


In the event of engine contamination by fire extinguisher agents, (Ref. the latest revision of PT6A-65 ENGINE
MAINTENANCE MANUAL P/N 3032842 or subsequent revision and Chapter 72-00-00, ENGINE,
TURBOPROP - INSPECTION.

4. BIOCIDAL AGENT TREATMENT


If evidence of microbiological contamination is detected, sterilize the fuel system using a biocidal agent
(63, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in shock dose treatment quantities (Ref. BIOCIDAL AGENT, Chapter
12-10-00). Repeat this shock treatment every 90 days until no contamination is found. If no evidence of
contamination is found, the fuel system should be sterilized annually.

ELECTRICAL BONDING
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES

A. Bonding Surface of Aluminum


A clean, smooth surface is required for bonding. The surface preparation for an electrical bond requires
the complete removal of any anodic film, grease, oil, paint, lacquer, metal finishes or other
high-resistance properties from an area slightly larger than the contact area. This will ensure negligible
radio frequency (RF) impedance between adjacent metal parts.

B. Preparation of Aluminum Surfaces to be Bonded or Grounded


(1) The mating surfaces must be smooth and contoured so that the entire mating surface areas are in
actual contact.

(2) Remove all protective films with fine sand paper or suitable solvent.

(3) Clean all surfaces with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(4) Shake the container of chemical conversion coating (88, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) vigorously
and apply the chemical conversion coating (brush-on strength) to the cleaned area with a clean
Scotch-brite, sponge or equivalent applicator. Keep the area wet with solution 3 to 5 minutes or
until a yellow color develops.

(5) Using clean water, dampen a clean cloth and gently wipe the treated area. Wipe with care as the
formed coating is very soft while wet.

(6) Allow the treated area to thoroughly air dry (1 hour maximum) prior to installation of mating parts. If
this time limit is exceeded, retouch with chemical conversion coating (88, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00).

C. Preparation of Surface
The following information has been found satisfactory in preparation of metals for electrical mating
surfaces.
Grease, oil and other non conductive films should be removed with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00).
Non soluble films should be removed by sanding and polishing with very fine garnet, silicon carbide, or
other aluminum oxide paper. Use caution so as not to remove any excessive metal. The area should be
brushed clean and wiped with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
NOTE: No emery or iron oxide papers/cloth may be used to clean the surface.
A small area on an aluminum surface may be cleaned by using a stainless steel wire brush
with a pilot. Wipe off cleaned area with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and a clean dry
cloth. (Ref. Figure 201).

D. Magnesium Alloy Surface Cleaning


(1) Remove grease and oil from surface with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Remove any paint or lacquer, from the surface with lacquer thinner.

(3) Brush area liberally with a chrome pickle solution for one minute, then rinse immediately by
brushing with clean water to remove all chemicals.

(4) Dry thoroughly.

E. Steel Surface Cleaning


When the surface is corrosion-resistant (CRES) or plated steel, clean the bonding surfaces as follows:

(1) Remove any grease and oil from the surface with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Remove any paint or lacquer from the surface with lacquer thinner and dry thoroughly.

NOTE: Do not remove the zinc or cadmium plate from the steel surfaces.

L. Electrical Bonding Check


When electrical components are changed or modified, the integrity of the bonding procedure can be
verified by utilizing the central grounding point. The central grounding point is located on the bottom of
the fuselage in the center just aft of the main spar and is the primary ground point for the bonding check.
The bonding check may be accomplished by using the secondary grounding points (adjacent aircraft
structure). The central grounding point is covered by a large washer attached to the airplane with a
screw. In order to gain access to the grounding point the screw and washer must be removed. After the
bonding check is complete, replace the central grounding point washer and screw. Proper bonding
procedures will result in minimal resistance readings between the replaced electrical component and
the central grounding point (Ref. Figure 207).
BONDING INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Bonded connections should be located in a protected area and, if at all possible, near an
inspection door or in an accessible location that provides ease of replacement and inspection.

(2) Components should be bonded directly to the structure, not through other bonded parts (i.e.
plumbing, etc.).

(3) Components should be bonded to the structure with the shortest acceptable bond cable.

(4) When movable parts are involved, bonding jumpers must be installed that will not hinder the
component's movement.

(5) Bonding connections should not be compression fastened through nonmetallic materials.

(6) All bonding surfaces must be cleaned prior to bond installation.

(7) Only self-locking nuts should be used for bonding connections.

(8) RF current returns should not be made through magnesium.

(9) Solder joints cannot be used alone for bonding parts that are subject to movement or vibration.

(10) The structural integrity of the airframe must not be adversely affected by any bonding procedure.

(11) Nonmetallic inserts or dry film lube nutplates cannot be used for bonding purposes.

(12) AC and DC ground returns must be connected separately.

(13) Shielded wires should be bonded to the structure unless specifically noted to the contrary.

(14) Unless prohibited by space, multiple jumpers or dual system grounds (LH and RH systems) should
not be connected to the same ground point.

(15) There are six classes of bonding listed in MIL-B-5087. For their purposes and resistant
requirements (Ref. Table 201).

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES

A. Control Cable System Inspection


WARNING: When inspecting control cables, always wear gloves to avoid injury from frayed or
broken wires.
When a control cable is removed from the airplane, the cable should be dipped in
corrosion preventive (11, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Excess corrosion preventive
may be removed by wiping with a clean cloth.
NOTE: Anywhere a cable is not visible, the flight controls shall be manipulated so that 100% of all
cables can be inspected.
Inspect the control cable system as follows:

(1) Inspect the control cables for incorrect routing, fraying and twisting. Look for interference with
adjacent airplane structure, equipment, wiring, plumbing and other control cables.

(2) Monitor control cable movement for freedom, looseness and full travel.

(3) Visually inspect all swaged fittings for distortion, cracks or broken wires at the fitting.

(4) Turnbuckles should have the proper thread exposure and be correctly safety wired.

(5) Locate any control cable broken or corroded wires as follows:

(a) Inspect the control cables near fairlead pulleys by passing a cloth along the length of the
cable. If a snag is found, closely examine the cable to determine the extent of the damage.

(b) Any suspect cable should be removed and placed in a loop position and checked for
additional broken wires.

Page 201
20-00-02 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Figure 201
Typical Control Cable With Broken Wires
NOTE: Individual broken wires are acceptable in primary and secondary control cables at
random locations when there are no more than three broken wires on any given
three foot cable segment.

(c) Inspect the control cables with broken wires for evidence of corrosion. If necessary, remove
the control cable, form it into a loop, and check the center strand for corrosion. Replace any
control cable that shows evidence of corrosion.

NOTE: The interior of all turnbuckles should be coated or filled with grease (23, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) for corrosion protection.

B. Control Cable Storage


Control cables should be stored straight or in a coil. When stored in coil form, the coil inside diameter
should not be less than 150 times the control cable diameter, or bent in a radius of not less than 75
times the control cable diameter. Coils should not be flattened, twisted or folded during storage. Storage
requirements should apply until the control cable is installed in its normal position in the airplane. If only
a part of the control cable is installed in an assembly, control cable storage requirements apply to the
uninstalled portion of the control cable.

C. Control Cable Pulley Inspection


Inspect all control cable pulleys as follows:
NOTE: Control cable pulleys are installed along the control cables where a change of direction is
needed.

(1) Inspect all control cable pulleys for roughness, sharp edges and the presence of foreign material
embedded in the grooves (Ref. Figure 202).

(2) Inspect all control cable pulley bearings for smooth rotation, freedom from flat spots and foreign
material.

(3) Inspect all control cable pulleys for proper alignment.

Page 202
Nov 1/13 20-00-02
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Inspect the control cable pulley brackets and guards for damage, misalignment and looseness.

(5) Control cable pulleys which turn for a short distance must be rotated periodically to provide a new
bearing surface for the control cable.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
20-00-04

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Some types of electronic components are easily damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), and require
special handling and storage procedures. ESD is a release of stored electrostatic charge which has been
generated by actions such as contact, rubbing, or separating of materials. A charge of this type can damage
electrical and electronic equipment installed in the airplane. In some instances, the damage may not be
immediate, but progressive. Components and items of equipment that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge are considered to be electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS). Electronic components that are
considered to be electrostatic discharge sensitive include integrated circuits, transistors and diodes,
monolithic and hybrid microelectronics, MOS capacitors, thin film resistors, and piezoelectric crystals. Any
circuit or piece of equipment containing ESDS components is subject to ESD damage if certain handling
precautions are not observed.
Personnel who remove, inspect, test or install instruments and equipment containing ESDS components
must be aware of the possibility of ESD damage, and should handle ESDS components in accordance with
procedures covered in this chapter. Proper procedures and policies for the handling of ESDS components
and equipment should be adhered to for the following reasons:
• Control of ESD damage, from time of component manufacture to time of actual installation, must
be verifiable and must be maintained by use of established industry standards.
• Established policy dictates that all personnel follow certain procedures to prevent damage to
ESDS components and equipment.
• Personnel in interacting areas of responsibility must be aware of their obligation to maintain proper
ESD-controlled environments.

Table 1 lists several materials and the associated electrostatic charge polarity and magnitude for each.
Materials at the top of the list are capable of producing the greatest amount of positive electrostatic charge,
while materials at the bottom of the list are capable of producing a similar negative electrostatic charge. Items
of dissimilar polarity provide the greatest potential for electrostatic discharge. Numeric values have not been
assigned to the listed materials, as static charge levels are not constant, and will vary with ambient
conditions. A greater possibility of ESD exists when the positions of listed items in Table 1 are farther apart.
For example, an individual using his/her hands to pick up a PVC pipe has more potential for producing ESD
than does an aluminum part contacting a steel part.
Table 2 identifies some typical electrostatic charge levels and the actions that can produce the electrostatic
charge.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY


Three levels of sensitivity classification are established for electrostatic discharge sensitivity devices.
Classification is used to aid the manufacturer or supplier in providing packaging and handling requirements
that protect the ESD sensitive item, device or component through all phases of handling and packaging of the
device during its service life. The three classes of ESD sensitivity are as follows:
Class 1 - Sensitivity range is from 0 to 1,999 volts.
Class 2 - Sensitivity range is from 2,000 to 3,999 volts.
Class 3 - Sensitivity range is from 4,000 to 15,999 volts.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. ESDS EQUIPMENT

A. Removal/Installation of ESDS Equipment


Observe the following procedures when removing or installing ESDS equipment:
CAUTION: Tools with plastic or insulated handles should not be used around ESDS devices. These
tools can carry a static charge which does not readily discharge during the grounding
process. Insulated tools should be used only during power-on testing of aircraft systems to
prevent electrical shock to maintenance personnel performing the tests.
Some circuit board assemblies may be protected by plastic covers. These covers can store
an electrostatic charge. Use a static control work station to neutralize any electrostatic
charge on the covers before touching a printed circuit board. Store the covers a safe
distance from the work area.

(1) When using test equipment, discharge all test leads to the ground prior to connection to the ESDS
circuit under test.

(2) Use a portable static control work station when removing ESDS circuit boards from card cages
and enclosures at the airplane.

(3) Place removed ESDS equipment on the static dissipative surface of the work station before
opening the static shielding container holding the replacement ESDS equipment.

(4) Just prior to engaging a cable connector with its mating receptacle, touch the connector shell to
the receptacle shell to neutralize any electrostatic charge on the connector or the installer’s body.

(5) Maintain protective coverings on stored ESDS equipment.

B. Handling of ESDS Components and Equipment


All personnel handling ESDS components and equipment should receive instruction in the proper
handling of such items. Observe the following handling rules to prevent damage to ESDS components
and equipment:

(1) Keep ESDS components and equipment inside ESD protective packaging until opened at a static
control work station.

(2) Before unsealing ESD protective packages, place the packages on the work surface of a static
control work station.

(3) Do not use pressure air nozzles to remove dust from ESDS printed circuit boards. Rapid
movement of air, combined with airborne dust particles, can create an electrostatic charge that will
destroy ESDS components.

(4) Always wear a grounding wrist strap when opening any ESD protective package.

(5) Avoid touching circuit components or connector pins when handling ESDS components or
equipment.

Page 201
20-00-04 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(6) Never place any ESDS component, before or after assembly, on a nonconductive surface or in a
container not specifically designed for storage of ESDS devices.

(7) Protect ESDS components and equipment with protective containers, conductive caps, and/or
pin-shorting devices.

(8) Store and transport ESDS components and equipment in ESD protective containers. Seal all
protective containers with an ESD warning label prior to shipment.

(9) Place all loose ESDS components and equipment into ESD protective containers BEFORE
removing a grounding wrist strap.

(10) Keep the work station free of any material not required to accomplish the assigned task.

(11) Follow established ESD protection rules and procedures.

(12) Always use a static control work station, either permanent or portable, when removing ESDS
components and equipment from protective packaging.

(13) Use only grounded, electrically isolated, and temperature controlled soldering irons that have been
rated for use with ESDS components and equipment. Use only hand tools that have conductive or
static dissipative handles or grips. Test equipment, such as scopes and meters, must be rated for
use around ESDS components and equipment.

(14) Avoid exposing ESDS components and equipment to large electromagnetic or electrostatic fields
such as transformers or transmitting antennas.

C. Controlling Static Charge Buildup


Four basic techniques are employed in ESD control. These are:

(1) MINIMIZE THE CHARGE BUILDUP - Minimize electrostatic charge buildup by using conductive or
static dissipative flooring and static-dissipative work surfaces. Wear leather shoes, cotton socks,
and a grounding ankle strap to dissipate body charge buildup. Wear cotton clothing instead of wool
or synthetics. Use an ionized air blower to dissipate charges from nonconductive items.

(2) DRAIN OFF THE CHARGE TO GROUND - The human body is a good electrical conductor and for
that reason electrostatic charges on the body can be dissipated by skin contact with a grounding
device such as a wrist or ankle strap. Always wear a grounding wrist strap when opening ESD
containers or handling exposed ESDS components and equipment.

(3) NEUTRALIZE THE CHARGE - Nonconductors, such as polystyrene coffee cups, plastic bags, and
some clothing develop electrostatic charges that cannot be neutralized by grounding. Ionized air
flow will neutralize an electrostatic charge on a nonconductor as long as the ionized air blower
puts out both positive and negative ions.

(4) MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS - The immediate environment


surrounding ESDS components and equipment must be free of electrostatic fields or must have
suitable static shielding to minimize induced effects from electrostatic fields.

D. Permanent Static Control Workstation


A static control work station provides for static-free handling of ESDS components and equipment by
diverting, to ground, electrostatic charges on conductive objects (Ref. Figure 201).

Page 202
Nov 1/09 20-00-04
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

A permanent static control work station consists of the following items:


CAUTION: Never wear a grounding wrist strap over clothing. The strap must be in contact with the
wearer’s skin to adequately dissipate any electrostatic charge. Under certain conditions,
personnel using a grounding wrist strap may need to use a lotion-type skin moisture
enhancer to provide a low-resistance connection between the wrist and the wrist strap.

(1) GROUNDING WRIST STRAP - Each person that handles ESDS components and equipment
must wear a grounding wrist strap to dissipate bodily electrostatic charges. The wrist strap must fit
firm against the skin and release quickly in case of an emergency. The wrist strap incorporates a
1-megohm current-limiting resistor, in series with the ground cord, to protect the wearer from
electrical shock hazards.

(2) STATIC-DISSIPATIVE WORK SURFACE - Conductive mats on the work bench surface are
designed to remove electrostatic charges from conductive items placed on the mat.

(3) CONDUCTIVE FLOORING - Conductive flooring is used when additional control of ESD is
required. To maintain total control over ESD, use conductive chairs, a grounding heel strap, and
conductive shoes. Conductive flooring in ESD control areas must be free of all wax or other
nonconductive coatings.

(4) HARD GROUND CONNECTION - Grounding of the static control work station is accomplished
through one or more copper ground rods driven into moist earth to a depth sufficient to provide a
low resistance path from the work station to ground. All work station connections to ground are
made through a one megohm resistor to protect work station personnel from electrical shock
hazards by limiting current flow to ground.

NOTE: Check building grounds to ensure that there is no current looping from other nearby
grounds.
Ensure that the source of current is external and not static.

(5) IONIZED AIR BLOWER - The ionized air blower provides a constant flow of positive and negative
ions over the work station surface to neutralize electrostatic charges on nonconductive materials in
the air flow path. The use of an ionized air blower, in combination with a static control work station,
provides additional protection for ESDS components and equipment. Since it is not always
possible to eliminate all static charge accumulators (Styrofoam, plastic, etc.) from a work area, the
ionized air blower is used to provide additional protection by flooding the work area with balanced
negative/positive ionized air. Static charge accumulators should always be kept away from
static-free areas, but inadvertent static is difficult to control, especially when developed by such
common items as clothing, footwear, combs, and pens. An ionized air blower will help control
some of this inadvertent buildup.

(6) STATIC DISSIPATIVE SEATING - Chairs used at ESD protected work stations must be
conductive, and if padded, must be covered with static dissipative material.

(7) CONDUCTIVE CONTAINERS - ESDS devices must be transported in approved containers to


prevent ESD damage. These special containers are made of metal or special conductive plastic.
Before static-sensitive components and equipment are removed from a static control work station,
they must be packaged in containers that provide at least as much protection as that provided by
the work station. Conductive boxes, kit trays, and similar types of approved containers provide
complete ESD protection to ESDS components and equipment while in transit.

Page 203
20-00-04 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(8) GROUNDING HEEL STRAP - A grounding heel strap can provide additional ESD protection. The
heel strap makes contact with the wearer’s skin at the ankle, and extends to the bottom of
footwear to make contact with a conductive mat or conductive flooring. The grounding heel strap
can be used in combination with a grounding wrist strap to provide maximum ESD protection.

(9) ANTISTATIC/CONDUCTIVE CLOTHING - Many types of clothing generate electrostatic charges.


To remove some of this buildup, work station personnel should wear outer garments that help
dissipate electrostatic charges. Cotton ranks among the best fabrics for antistatic protection. Do
not wear synthetic or wool fabrics around ESDS devices, as these fabrics retain electrostatic
charges.

E. Portable Static-Control Workstation


A portable static control work station provides for static-free handling of ESDS components and
equipment during maintenance operations at the airplane. The typical portable work station is available
as a field service kit that is used to dissipate electrostatic charges before the charges can damage
ESDS components and equipment (Ref. Figure 202).
A typical portable static control work station consists of the following items:

(1) GROUNDING WRIST STRAP - Each person who handles ESDS components and equipment
must wear a grounding wrist strap to dissipate bodily electrostatic charges. The wrist strap must fit
firm against the skin and should release quickly in case of emergency. The wrist strap incorporates
a 1-megohm current-limiting resistor, in series with the ground cord, to protect the wearer from
electrical shock hazards.

(2) STATIC-DISSIPATIVE WORK SURFACE - A conductive mat is an integral part of the portable
work station, and is designed to remove electrostatic charges from conductive items when those
items contact the mat.

(3) HARD GROUND CONNECTION - Ground the portable work station to the airframe or to a
common ground as shown. All portable work station connections to ground are made through
1-megohm current-limiting resistors to protect maintenance personnel from electrical shock
hazards.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

F. Humidity and Dust Effects on ESDS Components and Equipment


Humidity is a factor in the control of ESD. The lower the humidity, the greater the chance of damage to
ESDS components and equipment. Humidity at the work station should be maintained between 30 and
65 percent.
Repair of ESDS circuit boards, including replacement of ESDS components, should be performed in a
dust-free environment.

G. Packaging of ESDS Components and Equipment


All ESDS components and equipment require special ESD protective packaging. Seal all ESDS
packages with an appropriate cautionary label as shown (Ref. Figures 203, 204, 205, 206, 207 and
208).
CAUTION: Do not use clips or staples when sealing any ESDS package. Do not use carbon-filled,
conductive bags. Remove ESDS components and equipment from protective,
static-shielded containers only at a static-control work station after attaching a grounding
wrist strip and verifying that ESD producing items are not on the static-dissipative work
surface.
ESD protective packaging requirements, unless otherwise defined by specification, shall conform to the
following:
• Class 1 - Package in multi-layer conductive type bags consisting of an inner and outer layer
of antistatic (surface resistivity of 109 to 1014 ohms per square inch) or static dissipative
(surface resistivity of 105 to 109 ohms per square inch) material with a middle layer of
conductive material (surface resistivity of 10 ohms or less).
• Class 2 - Package in a static dissipative material possessing a surface resistivity of 105 to
109 ohms per square inch. Materials specified for Class 1 may also be used.
• Class 3 - Package in an antistatic material possessing a surface resistivity of 109 to 1014
ohms per square inch.
Place all ESDS devices in approved static shielding containers before packing in shipper’s normal
exterior containers. Use antistatic cushioning or fill materials. Do not use static generating materials,
such as polyethylene, Styrofoam, or paper.
Antistatic packaging is generally pink or blue in color. The material differs from common plastic in that
an antistatic compound is incorporated into the material during the manufacturing process. This type of
packaging DOES NOT provide static shielding, and is generally used to package instruction sheets,
data sheets, and other non-ESDS materials prior to introduction into a static-free environment. All
non-ESDS items, that are to enter an ESD work station, require repackaging in antistatic materials.
Conductive static-shielding packaging differs from antistatic packaging, in that it has the ability to shield
the devices, contained within from external static charges. Conductive static-shielding packaging is
available in the form of bags and rigid containers.

H. Marking of ESDS Components and Equipment


All ESDS components and equipment should be marked appropriately with an ESDS symbol as shown
(Ref. Figure 205).
NOTE: ESDS symbols (circle with arrows pointing into the circle from equidistant positions or a hand
inside of a triangle with an angling bar across the triangle) are yellow on a black background or
black on a yellow background.
Mark unit containers with the ESDS caution label on the outside of the package. Mark exterior
containers with an ESD caution label as shown (Ref. Figure 208). Apply marks directly to each ESDS
printed circuit board, assembly cover, equipment enclosure, or access door that would expose ESDS
devices if removed. Mark appropriately using decal transfer, stencil, silk screen, or any other method
meeting permanent legibility requirements.
Display ESDS symbols in a prominent package location to alert all personnel to the presence of ESDS
devices and equipment. The ESDS symbol should be at least 1/4 inch in diameter. ESDS symbols that
are attached to circuit boards should contrast with the circuit board base color. Enclosures that contain
ESDS circuit boards should be identified by bright orange paint on the outer face of the enclosure.

I. Storage and Transit of ESDS Components and Equipment


CAUTION: Never use ordinary plastic containers or packing materials when transporting ESDS
components or equipment.
When preparing ESDS devices for shipment, ensure all assemblies and equipment have been
protected against ESD through appropriate handling at static-controlled work stations.
ESDS packages, which have been properly enclosed in protective packages, require proper storage
and transfer in conductive static-dissipative, or static-free containers. Shipping information and other
instructions, accompanying ESD-protected packages, shall be contained in anti-static materials. ESDS
components, that are received in damaged or opened packing containers, are not acceptable, and
should be returned for replacement.

1. GENERAL
Observe all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES throughout this maintenance manual when performing
maintenance, repair or servicing on any fluid or pneumatic operated system.
WARNING: Never perform maintenance on tubing, hoses or fittings while the system is under
pressure. Verify that systems which operate using fluids or pneumatics under pressure
are fully depressurized before opening or disconnecting a tubing assembly or hose.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 29 of the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual for
procedures to install Cryofit or Permaswage fittings.

A. Practices
The following list of maintenance practices is provided as an aid for handling, removal, installation and
repairing of tubing and hoses.

(1) Cap or plug all disconnected tubing and hose assembles and fittings immediately to prevent
contamination of the system.

(2) Visually check for cleanliness, evidence of contamination and obstructions prior to recondition of
tube or hose assemblies.

(3) Any hose and tube assemblies that did not have protective covers installed must be cleaned and
checked for obstruction prior to installation.

(4) When connecting tube assemblies, do not force the tube assembly to the installed position. If a
mismatch between the male and female fittings should result, check for allowable mismatch
(Ref. Figure 201).

(5) Never stretch a hose to make a connection.

(6) The hose material must be compatible with the applicable system fluids. Substitution of a hose
material that is not compatible with the system fluid will contaminate the system.

2. TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES

A. Removal
(1) Relieve all system pressure.

CAUTION: Failure to use a back-up wrench when loosening or tightening hoses and tubing to
fittings may damage the hoses, tubing and fittings.

(2) Disconnect both ends of the hose or tube assembly and immediately cap or plug the tube or hose
ends and fittings.

(3) Remove all clamps securing the hose or tube assembly.

3. FLUID LINE FITTING

A. Installation
(1) Lubricate the male threads of the fitting, backup ring and packing sparingly with the system fluid or
petrolatum (76, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Install the nut (AN6289) on the fitting until the nut is clear of the thread relief.

(3) Install the teflon backup ring in the counterbore of the nut.

(4) Install the packing on the thread relief.

NOTE: The packing must be compatible with the system fluid.

(5) Turn the nut down until the packing is pushed firmly against the lower threaded section of the
fitting.

(6) Install the fitting into the boss with the nut turning with the fitting until the packing contacts the
boss.

NOTE: This point can be detected by a sudden increase in torque.

(7) Holding the nut with a wrench to prevent it from turning, rotate the fitting in an additional 1 1/2
turns. Position the fitting in the proper direction by turning in no more than one additional turn.

(8) Holding the fitting, turn the nut down tightly against the boss. Slight extrusion of the ring around the
backup ring is acceptable.

4. NONPOSITIONING TYPE FITTING

A. Installation
(1) Lubricate the packing with the system fluid or petrolatum (76, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Install the packing in the fitting thread relief.

(3) Thread the fitting into the boss until it bottoms tightly on the boss.

(4) Tighten the fitting to the specified torque value.

5. PIPE THREAD FITTING

A. Installation
Install pipe fittings as follows:

(1) Apply teflon tape to the threads as follows:

(a) Start tape at or close to narrow end of threads.

(b) Wrap the tape around the fitting in the direction of the threads. Wrap clockwise for right hand
threaded fittings. Wrap counterclockwise for left hand threaded fittings.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(c) Apply tension to the tape to conform the tape to the shape of the threads.

(d) The tape should overlap the previous wrap of tape up to one-half inch to seal pipe thread
fittings up to two inches in diameter.

(2) Thread the fitting into the boss and tighten until it bottoms tightly on the boss.

6. TUBE DAMAGE

A. Limits
NOTE: Nicks and scratches not exceeding the following limitations may be repaired by polishing out
the damaged area, using fine grade of emery cloth and oil. Finish polishing with crocus cloth
and oil. Flush and clean all grit from line assembly.

(1) Replace steel tubes which have nicks or scratches deeper than 10 percent of tubing wall
thickness.

(2) Replace any aluminum tube which has nicks or scratches deeper than 20 percent of the tube wall
thickness.

(3) Replace any tubes which have dents deeper than 5 percent of the tube outside diameter.

7. TUBE MANUFACTURING
A new tube must be manufactured from the correct material (Ref. Table 203) and to the specific application
for which it is to be used. Before cutting the tube to length, make sure it is long enough to make all bends and
any forming that must be made at the ends. Prepare the tubing ends to match the connecting fittings. All
bends must be made with an appropriate bending tool and to the limits specified (Ref. Figure 202 and Table
202).

TORQUE WRENCHES

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
When a torque wrench and adapter is used (Ref. Figure 201), compensation must be made for the extra
leverage gained. New indicator readings must be calculated before the wrench is used. To figure the desired
lower readings which will actually give the torque specified, use the following formula:

Wrench length x Specific Torque


= Desired Torque
Length of wrench + adaptor

Example: D= Desired reading


L= Length of torque wrench
A= Adaptor length
T= Torque

D= ?
L= 33 inches
A= 11 inches
T= 5000 inch-pounds

LxT 33 x 5,000 165,000


D= = = = 3,750 in-Ibs
L+A 33 + 11 44

An acceptable method of checking the torque, if a torque wrench is not available, is to attach a spring scale to
a conventional flex or T-handle inserted in an adapter (Ref. Figure 202). Force should be applied in a
direction perpendicular to an imaginary line extending from the center of the bolt through the spring scale
attaching point.
To calculate the force in pounds (scale reading) required to obtain the specified torque, divide the torque in
inch-pounds by the distance in inches between the center of the bolt and the scale attaching point. For
example, if the specified torque is 5,000 inch-pounds and the distance is 25 inches, a pull of 200 pounds must
be applied. Bolts to be torqued must be clean and free of all lubricants; otherwise, loss of normal friction
allowed for establishing the torque values may result in overtorquing of the bolt.

Page 201
20-01-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

When a torque wrench adapter is used, the length of the adapter must be added to the length of the flex or T
handle wrench and a value calculated for that particular combination. The following is a typical example in
finding a desired value.

Effective length of flex or “T”


Handle wrench..................................... 12 inches
Length of adapter................................. 3 inches
Total length.......................................... 15 inches
Desired torque on bolt........................... 2,000 inch-pounds

1. PROCEDURES

A. Hydraulic Press Bearing Removal


(1) Remove the bearing housing from the airplane.

(2) Place two supports on the hydraulic press table under the bearing housing as shown. The
supports should be at least 1/2 inch thicker than the bearing width (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Center a bearing removal and installation tool on the bearing outer race. The bearing and
installation tool should be approximately 1/8 inch smaller than the outside diameter of the bearing
outer race.

CAUTION: The hydraulic press plunger and bearing removal and installation tool should remain
in direct alignment with the bearing being removed at all times.

(4) Align the bearing and the bearing removal and installation tool with the hydraulic press plunger
and apply pressure to force the bearing from the bearing housing.

B. Mechanical Press Bearing Removal


(1) Remove the bearing housing from the airplane.

(2) Center a bearing removal socket, with an inner diameter larger than the bearing outer race and 1/2
inch deeper than the bearing width, on the bearing housing (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Center a bearing removal socket smaller in diameter than the bearing outer race.

(4) Install a washer and bolt through one of the sockets, through the center of the bearing and then
through the opposite socket as shown.

(5) Install a washer and nut on the bolt threads.

(6) Tighten the nut on the bolt until the pressure is sufficient to release the bearing from the bearing
housing.

C. Bearing Housing Inspection


Inspect the bearing housing for any grooves, cracks, warpage or hole elongation. The bearing housing
bearing contact surface must be smooth and uniform.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Bearing Installation Using Retaining Compound


CAUTION: When cleaning bearing surfaces never allow solvent to enter the bearing. Never touch the
bearing or bearing housing surfaces with bare hands. Use a clean cloth to cover the
bearing to prevent contamination after they have been cleaned.

(1) Clean the outer surface of the bearing race with solvent (14, Table 1, 91-00-00) and wipe dry.

(2) Coat the surfaces where a retaining compound is to be applied with primer (92, Table 1,
91-00-00). This includes the bearing outer surface, bearing housing mating surface and the
bearing housing retention flange if applicable.

CAUTION: Ensure that no primer is applied to the bearing oil grooves or lubrication ports.
NOTE: All cadmium, zinc, corrosion-resistant and anodized steel, including plastic items, must be
primed to assure proper adhesion of the retaining compound (194, Table 1, 91-00-00).

(3) Allow the primer (92, Table 1, 91-00-00) to air dry for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

NOTE: The retaining compound (194, Table 1, 91-00-00) may be applied before or after bearing
installation in the bearing housing.

(4) Apply a thin coat of the retaining compound (194, Table 1, 91-00-00) to the bearing and the
bearing housing mating surfaces where the primer (92, Table 1, 91-00-00) was applied.

(5) Center the bearing on the bearing housing.

(6) Using the hydraulic or mechanical pressure method shown, apply pressure to the bearing until it is
firmly seated in the bearing housing. Pressure on the bearing must be applied in direct alignment
to the bearing housing for the bearing to seat properly (Ref. Figure 201).

(7) Apply retaining compound (194, Table 1, 91-00-00) to the area between the bearing and the
bearing housing.

(8) The retaining compound must cure before the bearing is put into service. Curing may be
accomplished with one of the following:

(a) Allow the bearing and bearing housing to remain at room temperature for 24 hours without
any movement of the parts.

(b) Heat the bearing and bearing housing to 275° ± 10°F and maintain that temperature for 15
minutes only.

(c) After the bearing has been secured in the housing by the use of a retaining compound,
lubricate with the proper lubrication and install in the airplane.

E. Bearing Installation by Staking


(1) Center the bearing on the bearing housing (Ref. Figure 202).

(2) Using the hydraulic or mechanical pressure method shown, apply pressure to the bearing until it is
firmly seated in the bearing housing. Pressure must be applied in direct alignment to the bearing
housing for the bearing to seat properly (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Place the bearing and bearing housing on two supports, if both sides of the bearing are to be
staked. The inner bearing race must not touch the supports (Ref. Figure 202).

(4) If the bearing housing was previously staked, the new stakes should be centered between the
existing stakes. If a new bearing housing is being used, the stake pattern should be the same as
the one on the old bearing housing.

NOTE: When a ring stake is used, combined total length should be 25% of the bearing
circumference.

(5) Pin stakes should be located 0.030 ± 0.010 inch from the outer diameter of the bearing on the
bearing housing.

(6) Pin stakes should only be 0.010 to 0.032 inch deep to retain bearings when the bearing housing is
staked on both sides.

(7) The number of pin stakes around a bearing housing should be as indicated in Table 201.

CAUTION: If the bearing should slip or move in the bearing housing, the bearing must be
removed and recleaned. The bearing housing must be recleaned. Examine the
bearing for any damage and reinstall in the bearing housing.

LOCKING DEVICES
20-07-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Except where specific instructions may be required to satisfy certain applications, the following procedures
are standard methods for installing the various locking devices used on bolts, screws and nuts:

A. Self-Locking Nuts
Where self-locking nuts are used, the following procedure applies:

(1) For each item, note the torque necessary to turn the nut on the bolt before seating the nut.

(2) Add the above torque to the value detailed in the assembly instruction for the application. Use this
new value as the total applied torque.

NOTE: Before reinstallation of self-locking nuts, nuts should be checked for effectivity of the
self-locking feature. Reject suspect nuts as necessary.

B. Lockwire and Cotter Pin Requirements


When tightening a castellated nut, alignment of the slot must be obtained without exceeding the
maximum torque. If this is not possible, replace the nut with another one. After tightening the nut to the
recommended torque, the nut must not be loosened to permit insertion of lockwire or a cotter pin. If the
slot in the nut or lockwire hole in the bolt or screw is not correctly aligned at the minimum torque value
given, the nut, screw or bolt should be further tightened to the next alignment position, but the maximum
torque value given must not be exceeded. Should alignment still be impossible without exceeding the
maximum torque, back off the nut, screw or bolt one-half turn and retorque.

C. Taper Pins
Taper pins are used where movement between two parts is not wanted and other fastener options are
not desired.

D. Slotted, Steel Locknuts (Prevailing Torque Type)


Effective locking of slotted, steel locknuts on bolts or studs requires full engagement of all locknut
threads. The chamfered section of the locknut ID does not exert force on the bolt or stud; therefore, it is
not necessary that the bolt or stud be flush with, or protrude from the outer face of the locknut.

E. Standard And Stepped Studs


When the torque required to drive a stud to the correct protrusion does not reach the minimum value
given, or exceeds the maximum value given, a new stud must be selected.

F. Hose, Tubing and Threaded Couplings


NOTE: Refer to Chapter 29 of the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual for
procedures to install Cryofit or Permaswage fittings.
If leakage occurs at a coupling, do not attempt to correct it by overtorquing. Disassemble the fitting and
check for nicks, burrs and/or foreign matter. Use new parts to rectify.

LOCKING DEVICES
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. PROCEDURES

A. General
Lockwire, lock washers, tab locks, tab washers, key washers, cup washers and cotter pins must never
be reused. All lockwire and cotter pins must fit snugly into drilled holes in the bolts and studs for locking
purposes. Bushings and plugs must be lockwired to boss or casing. Do not lockwire the bushing to the
plug. Install cotter pins so that the head fits into the slot of the castellated nut and, unless otherwise
specified, bend one end of the pin back over the stud or bolt and the other end flat against the flat on the
nut.

B. Lockwire
Use the same type and diameter of lockwire as that employed during the initial assembly. Except where
otherwise specified, the wire used on the airplane power plant is heat- and corrosion-resistant steel wire
of 0.025-inch diameter.

(1) BASIC RULES

(a) Lockwire must be tight after installation to prevent failure due to rubbing or vibration.

(b) Lockwire must be installed in a manner that tends to tighten and keep a part locked in place,
thus counteracting the natural tendency of the part to loosen.

(c) Lockwire must never be overstressed. It will break under vibrations if twisted too tightly. The
lockwire shall be pulled taut when being twisted, but shall have minimum tension, if any,
when secured.

(d) Lockwire ends must be bent toward the engine, or structure, to avoid sharp or projecting
ends which might present a safety hazard or vibrate in the air stream.

(e) Internal wiring must not cross over, or obstruct, a flow passage when an alternate method
can be used.

(2) LOCKWIRE HOLE ALIGNMENT

(a) Check the units to be lockwired to make sure that they have been correctly torqued and that
the wiring holes are properly positioned in relation to each other. When there are two or more
units, it is desirable that the holes in the units be in the same relationship to each other.
Never overtorque or loosen units to obtain proper alignment of the holes. It should be
possible to align the wiring holes when the units are torqued within the specified limits.
However, if it is impossible to obtain a proper alignment of the holes without either over- or
undertorquing, select another unit which will permit proper alignment within the specified
torque limits.

Page 201
20-07-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) LOCKWIRE TWISTING

(a) To prevent mutilation of the twisted section of the wire when using pliers, grasp the wire at
the ends or at a point that will not be twisted. Lockwire must not be nicked, kinked or
mutilated. Never twist the wire ends off with the pliers and, when cutting off ends, leave at
least three complete turns after the loop, exercising extreme care to prevent the wire ends
from falling into areas where they might create a hazard or cause damage. The strength of
the lockwire holes is marginal; never twist the wire off with pliers. Cut the lockwire close to
the hole, exercising extreme care.

(4) LOCKWIRE ILLUSTRATIONS

(a) Figure 201 illustrates a typical lockwiring procedure. Although there are numerous lockwiring
operations performed on the airplane, practically all are derived from the basic examples
shown (Ref. Figure 202).

C. Retaining Rings (Spirolox, etc.)


Retaining rings must be installed with approved retaining ring pliers. Internal rings must not be
compressed beyond the point where ends of the ring meet. External type rings must be expanded only
enough to allow installation without becoming bent. After installation, ensure each retaining ring is
completely seated in its groove, without looseness or distortion.

D. Taper Pins (AN386 Only)


Refer to Figure 203 and Figure 204 for illustrations relating to torque tube hole location and taper pin
installation.
Refer to the narrative and Table 201 for the procedure used to correctly size and ream the torque tube
hole for the taper pin.
NOTE: In practice, to ensure the correct fit of taper pins to the corresponding holes, taper ream the
holes to an undersize condition. The finish taper ream is done with a taper ream having the
original taper (a taper reamer that has not been sharpened or ground). Sharpened or ground
reamers have been known to create a problem in maintaining the proper ratio between the
small and large hole. The ratio between the two holes is critical for correct seating of the taper
pins.

(1) Drill a hole (Ref. Figure 206) as detailed in Table 201 for the appropriate diameter taper pin.

(2) Rough and finish the taper ream to the correct diameter and a smooth, consistent surface.
The diameter is correct when the small end of the taper pin extends a maximum of 0.062 inch
through the part when the pin is seated (Ref. Figure 204).
Light tapping with a rawhide mallet may be necessary to seat the taper pin.

NOTE: Gaging the depth from the surface of the large end of the hole is not recommended due to
the thickness tolerances of the parts when assembled and taper pin diameter tolerances.

(3) Deburr as required.

(4) Install the taper pin, washer and nut (Ref. Figure 204).

STANDARD PRACTICES - AIRFRAME


AIRPLANE FINISH CARE
20-08-00

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
CAUTION: The urethane finish undergoes a curing process for a period of time after application. During the
first month after paint application, some special care is required. Airplane owners should observe
the following recommendations in order to preserve the durability and appearance of the airplane
paint.

A. Cleaning Airplane Finishes


CAUTION: Prior to washing, attach the pitot cover securely and plug or mask off all other openings. Be
particularly careful to mask off all static air buttons before washing or waxing. Use special
care to avoid washing away grease from any lubricated area. Prior to cleaning, cover such
areas as wheels, brakes, etc., and relubricate after cleaning as necessary. Always be sure
all maskings and coverings are removed before returning the airplane to service.

B. During the Curing Period (One Month)


CAUTION: Prior to washing, attach the pitot cover securely and plug or mask off all other openings. Be
particularly careful to mask off all static air buttons before washing or waxing. Use special
care to avoid washing away grease from any lubricated area. Prior to cleaning, cover such
areas as wheels, brakes, etc., and relubricate after cleaning as necessary. Always be sure
all maskings and coverings are removed before returning the airplane to service.

(1) Avoid prolonged flights in heavy rain or sleet. Avoid any operating conditions which might cause
abrasion or premature finish deterioration.

(2) Clean the airplane with mild detergents and water only. Use a clean soft rag, keeping it free from
dirt and grime. Rinse with clear water thoroughly.

(3) Use no waxes, polishes, rubbing compounds, or abrasive cleaners of any type. The use of such
items can permanently damage the surface finish.

(4) Stubborn oil or soot deposits on cowlings, wheel wells, etc. may be removed gently with
automotive tar removers.

C. After the Curing Period


(1) Continue to wash the airplane regularly. Use mild detergents and water only. Rinsing thoroughly
with clear water prevents detergent residue buildup that can dull the paint appearance.

(2) Normally, waxing is not necessary; however, if waxing is desired, select a high quality automotive
or airplane waxing product. Never use rubbing compounds or abrasive cleaners of any type. Do
not use a wax containing silicone because silicone polishes are difficult to remove from surfaces.

Page 201
20-08-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Environmental Fallout (Acid Rain)


After the specified curing period, avoid outside storage when conditions exist where moisture may
collect on painted surfaces. Acids which remain in standing water can stain the paint topcoat and cause
permanent damage to the finish. Flush off residual moisture with clean tap water and dry the surface. At
this time, waxing the surface can provide protection from acid rain damage.

E. Placard Replacement
Ascertain that all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or touched
up after repairs. Replace any placards that have been inadvertently defaced after such repainting or
repairs.

2. EXTERIOR FINISHES (ALUMINUM SURFACES)

A. Urethane Paints
The need for an extremely hard finish for protection against sandblast during takeoff and landings led to
the development of urethane coatings for airplanes. Urethane paint dries into a high gloss and retains
color much better than standard finishes. It is unaffected by the chemicals in hydraulic fluids, deicer
fluids and fuels and requires less care and maintenance than standard finishes.
NOTE: Anytime an airplane is repainted or touched up, inspect all placards to assure that they are not
covered with paint, are easily readable, and are securely attached. Replace any defaced
placards.

B. Urethane Paint Repair Procedures


NOTE: The time normally required for urethane paint to cure must be extended at temperatures below
70°F. The paint will not cure at temperatures below 60°F.
Model 1900 Series Airliners are finished with urethane primer, and a top coat of urethane enamel. The
following procedures include cleaning, paint stripping, repaint preparation, priming, applying a urethane
topcoat, and an alternate method for small repairs not requiring paint stripping. Careful observance of
these procedures shall result in a smooth, hard, glossy finish with firm adhesion for maximum life.
NOTE: Precut stripe, numeral, and letter patterns are available through Modagraphics of Kansas,
1720 S. 151 W. Route 1, Wichita, Kansas 67052.

C. Paint Stripping and Cleaning Urethane Paint


CAUTION: Never use aluminum foil to mask electrothermal windshields during painting, for most metal
brighteners will combine with aluminum to form a hydrogen gas that eats away the
stannous oxide used as an antistatic coating on electrothermal windshields. If metal
brighteners are used, cover the windshield with paper or pasteboard masking material.
Because of their resistance to chemicals and solvents, urethane paints and primers require a special
paint stripper. If a urethane stripper is not available, a good enamel stripper may be used. Removing the
finish with such a substitute will require several applications while working the stripper in with a stiff
brush or wooden scraper.

(1) Mask around the edge of the skin or skins containing the damaged area. Use a double thickness
of heavy paper to prevent accidental splashes of paint stripper from penetrating the masking.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 20-08-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING: Urethane strippers usually contain acids that irritate or burn the skin. Wear
rubber gloves and eye protection when using the stripper.

(2) Apply urethane stripper as indicated by the manufacturer's directions. Try to stay approximately 1/
8 inch away from the masking tape. This will necessitate a little more cleanup upon finishing, but
will prevent damage to the finish on the next skin. The stripper will not attack aluminum during the
stripping process and can be neutralized afterwards by rinsing the affected area with water.

(3) Rinse the area with water and dry.

(4) Wash the stripped area carefully with a solvent such as acetone, methyl propyl ketone (MPK), or
lacquer thinner. This will prevent tiny particles of loose paint from adhering to the stripped area.

(5) Using a nylon scratch pad or aluminum wool dipped in clean water, clean the surface with a
cleanser such as Bon Ami, Ajax, Comet cleaner, etc. A good scouring will leave the surface
completely clean.

(6) Thoroughly rinse with clean water and carefully dry the affected area. If the stripped area includes
several joints or skin laps, let the airplane sit until all moisture has dried. This may be accelerated
by blowing the skin laps and seams with compressed air. Wet masking should be replaced.

D. Urethane Primer
(1) Mix the urethane primer (3, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and catalyst (4, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions when preparing the primer.

NOTE: For the best results, these directions must be followed carefully, for some manufacturers
require that the primer be allowed to set for 1/2 hour after the catalyst and base have been
mixed while others recommend immediate use after mixing.

(2) Apply a coat of urethane primer with a spray gun using 25 to 40 psi of air pressure. A dappled
appearance only indicates that the coat is thin.

(3) If the initial primer coat is allowed to cure for more than 24 hours before the topcoat is applied,
sand the primer slightly to roughen the surface and assure adhesion. Wipe off the sanding dust
with a cloth dampened with a solvent (such as lacquer thinner), then apply the topcoat.

NOTE: The minimum drying time for urethane primer is approximately 2 hours under conditions of
low humidity at temperatures of 85 to 90°F. When the primer coat cannot be scratched by
fingernail or when sandpapering does not cause the primer to ball up, the urethane
topcoat may be safely applied.

E. Urethane Topcoats
(1) Mix the paint and catalyst as described by the manufacturer.

(2) Apply the topcoat with a spray gun at 35 to 40 psi of air pressure. Two coats are normally required
to fully conceal the primer and build up the topcoat film necessary for adequate service life and
beauty. The urethane finish will normally cure to approximately 85% of its full hardness in 24 hours
at temperatures of 80°F or higher.

NOTE: When interior or exterior paint is required, refer to the airplane log book for the part
number of the paint used on the airplane as it was delivered new.

Page 203
20-08-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

F. Urethane Touch-Up Repair


(1) Mask around the skin containing the damaged area.

(2) Remove all loose edges of paint by using a high tack adhesive tape around the edge of the
damaged area.

(3) Using a coarse sandpaper, fair the edge of the damaged area with the metal.

(4) When the edge of the paint begins to fair into a smooth joint, use a fine grade of sandpaper to
eliminate the scratches left by the coarse paper. Take care to avoid removing any more metal than
is absolutely necessary.

(5) Wash the sanded area with a solvent, such as lacquer thinner or methyl propyl ketone (MPK).
Change the wash cloths used for this purpose often so that all the sanding dirt will be picked up.

(6) After the area to be touched up has been cleaned with solvent until all traces of discoloration are
gone, apply a thin coat of pretreatment primer to the damaged area.

(7) After the urethane primer has cured for 24 hours, sand the area under repair with medium fine
sandpaper. Sand the edge of the repair area until the indentation where the metal and old paint
meet is gone. If necessary, apply additional urethane primer until the juncture of old paint with
metal is no longer visible.

(8) Spray on two topcoats.

G. Special Procedures
The following special procedures should be followed when repainting the following areas:

(1) Battery Box and Lid

The interior surfaces of the battery box and battery lid are to be finished as follows:

(a) Apply a minimum of two coats of epoxy-polyamide primer (5, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(b) Apply a minimum of three coats of exterior matterhorn white (6, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Rubber Seals

Apply one coat of a thoroughly dissolved solution of one part Oakite No. 6 and two parts
water to all rubber surfaces that are to come in contact with either metal or other rubber
surfaces.

(3) Laminated Fiberglass Surfaces

Apply sanding surfacer (7, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) until the surface to be painted is smooth.

(4) NOSE RADOME

CAUTION: Radar operation can be adversely affected by abrupt variations in the thickness of the
material in the nose radome, which could be caused by excessive and/or uneven
buildup of repair material during repair of the damage. It is recommended that a
damaged nose radome be replaced rather than repaired. However, if repairs are
made, a transmissivity check should be accomplished by a certified repair station.

Page 204
Nov 1/09 20-08-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Information to repair the radome lightning diverter strips is provided in the Model 1900
Airliner Series Structure Repair Manual, Chapter 53-90-15.
New radomes purchased from Hawker Beechcraft Corporation are finished complete with primer
and anti-static coating, ready for final painting; however, the new radome must be fit, trimmed,
drilled and countersunk to the individual airplane. To assure electrical bonding to the fuselage, a
small metal tab or strap should be attached to the inner aft edge of radome with two rivets after
fitting. After installation of the tab, the rivet heads on the exterior surface of the radome should be
painted with one coat of 528-104 or 528-306 flat black anti-static paint (113, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00).
Fabricate and attach the copper strap as follows:

(a) Trim, fit, drill and countersink the new radome to fit the airplane.

(b) Touch up the anti-static paint in all countersunk screw holes with one coat of 528-104 or
528-306 flat black anti-static paint (113, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Ensure that the paint
covers the entire inside of the countersink and makes contact with the anti-static paint or
primer on the exterior of the radome.

(c) Fabricate a strap out of 1/32-inch to 1/16-inch thick copper strap (Ref. Figure 201). The strap
should be 3-inches in length, 3/4-inches in width. Drill one hole of the proper diameter so that
a radome mounting screw will fit through it with little play.

(d) Attach the strap to the radome with two Aluminum CherryMax rivets (CR3213-4) at the end of
the strap, opposite of the mounting screw hole.

NOTE: The grip length of the rivets should be based on the total buildup on the radome.
Maintain proper Edge Distance and rivet spacing.

(e) Paint the top of the rivet heads that are exposed, with the anti-static or primer, on the exterior
of the radome.

(f) Prior to priming and painting the radome, mask the copper strap off so that it remains clear of
paint and provides a good electrical bond from the radome to the fuselage.

Repainting the radome will affect the transmissivity requirements of the radome; therefore, a
maximum of three thin coats of polyurethane paint only should not be exceeded. Use of any
paint other than polyurethane is not recommended. When preparing the radome for
repainting, use a fine grit sandpaper, but do not sand into the black anti-static coating
beneath the finish paint coat.
NOTE: Multiple coats of anti-static coating will change resistance; therefore, anti-static
coating should NOT be repaired with additional coats of anti-static coating or flat
black paint.

(5) Radome Protective Boot

If the airplane is equipped with a radome protective boot, the following removal, installation and
maintenance procedures must be followed precisely to ensure serviceability of the boot
installation.

(6) Radome Protective Boot Removal

(a) Using a razor blade, carefully score the surface of the protective boot and dissect the
protective boot into triangular pie-shaped sections. Each section should be approximately
four to six inches wide at the base. Do not cut into the radome.

(b) Pull the pie-shaped sections from the radome beginning at the top and pulling down. Pull the
next section at 180 degrees from the previously pulled section until all sections are removed.

CAUTION: Observe the manufacturer's safety recommendations when cleaning the


radome.

(c) Remove any adhesive residue from the radome using a clean cloth dampened with a 75%
solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and 25% toluol (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00)
solution. Wipe dry using a dry clean cloth. Do not allow the cleaning solution to set on the
radome surface, possibly causing damage to the radome.

(7) Radome Protective Boot Maintenance

Maintenance of the unpainted protective boot includes the application of a paste wax when
needed to prevent staining. The protective boot should be replaced at the first indication of
damage.

(a) Thoroughly wash the refurbished and primed radome with isopropyl alcohol (30, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) and wipe dry.

(b) Using a marking pen, place a + on the top center of the radome for boot orientation. Place a
zero at one end of the + symbol.

(c) With the protective liner still in the protective boot, place the boot on the radome.

(d) Rotate the protective boot until the best fit is obtained on the radome.

(e) Place a + and zero on the protective boot at the same location as the + and zero on the
radome.

(f) Remove the protective boot from the radome, turn the protective boot inside out and place
over the radome. At this time, disregard the orientation marks.

(g) Carefully remove the transparent protective liner from the protective boot.

(h) Saturate the exposed adhesive surface of the protective boot with a wetting solution of 25%
isopropyl alcohol (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), 75% water and 1 teaspoon of liquid
detergent (Ivory or Joy) per gallon of wetting solution to prevent adhesive-to-adhesive
bonding.

NOTE: The entire adhesive surface of the protective boot must be saturated with the wetting
solution.

(i) Remove the protective boot from the radome.

(j) Saturate the entire surface of the protective boot contact area on the radome with the wetting
solution.

(k) Place the protective boot, adhesive side in, on the radome with the orientation marks aligned.

(l) Using a methyl propyl ketone (MPK) resistant plastic squeegee with rounded edges,
squeegee the wetting solution from under the protective boot. Start at the top center of the
protective boot and work the blisters down to the end and out from under the protective boot.

NOTE: Care must be taken to avoid leaving blisters under the protective boot.

(m) If small blisters still remain under the protective boot, pierce them with a safety pin and
relieve the entrapped air or wetting solution. Work with the squeegee if necessary.

(n) Wrap the edge of the protective boot outer circumference at the desired location with 1/
2-inch wide masking tape.

(o) Using an industrial razor blade, trim the protective boot at the edge of the 1/2-inch wide
masking tape.

NOTE: Use extreme caution during the trimming of the protective boot. The razor blade
must not cut into the radome.

(p) Place the radome in a bake oven at 125° to 150°F for 20 minutes.

NOTE: If a bake oven is not available, a heat lamp at the same temperature may be used. If
no heat lamp or oven is available, the radome must set for 24 hours at room
temperature for the adhesive to cure.

(q) Paint the radome and protective boot as follows:

1 Wipe the surface of the radome and protective boot with a clean rag dampened with
methyl propyl ketone (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Observe the manufacturer's
safety recommendations at all times. If methyl propyl ketone is not desirable, use a
#3774 Scotch brite pad and lightly scuff the surface of the protective boot and radome
surface. Using a clean cloth dampened with ethanol, wipe the protective boot and
radome clean.

2 Do not prime the protective boot before painting.

3 Allow the radome and protective boot to dry for approximately 30 minutes.

3. MAGNESIUM SURFACES

A. Paint Removal From Magnesium Surfaces


(1) Mask around the edge of the damaged area with a double thickness of heavy paper to prevent
accidental splashes of paint stripper from penetrating the masking.

WARNING: Stripping should be accomplished in a well ventilated area since prolonged


exposure to high concentrates of stripper vapor may irritate the eyes and
lungs.

(2) Apply paint stripper (8, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the skin under repair with a brush or
nonatomizing gun.

CAUTION: Never use a wire brush for it will damage the magnesium surface.

(3) Allow the paint stripper to work for 20 to 30 minutes, then work the remaining paint loose with a
bristle brush.

(4) Remove the masking paper and wash the affected area thoroughly with water under high
pressure. Remove all remnants of paint with lacquer thinner.

(5) Sand the repaired area lightly, then apply Dow Treatment Number 19 solution to prevent
corrosion. Dow No. 19 solution may be mixed as follows:

(a) Place 3/4 gallon of (70°F to 90°F) water in a one gallon stainless steel, aluminum or vinyl
polyethylene container.

(b) Add 1-1/3 oz. of chromic acid (CrO3), then 1 oz. of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) (obtain
chemicals locally).

(c) Add 1/4 gallon (70°F to 90°F) of water and stir vigorously for at least 15 minutes.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 3 minutes.

(d) Brush the solution on the bare area, keeping the area wet for 1 to 3 minutes until a brown film
appears.

(e) Rinse the treated area in COLD running water and dry in an oven or by exposure to hot air
blast.

NOTE: If cold running water is not available, rinsing may be eliminated and the area dried
as stated above.

(f) Brush 2 coats (a minimum of 30 minutes apart) of epoxy primer (5, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) on and around the reworked area. Assure adequate penetration of primer into the
treated area.

CONTROL OF LIFE-LIMITED PARTS
20-15-00

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES

A. Determination Of Serviceability When Part Life Is Unknown


14 CFR Part 43 requires that all persons who remove life-limited parts from airplanes safely control
these parts. Acceptable methods to control these parts are defined by 14 CFR Part 43. In certain
circumstances the life status of a part may not be known. The following guidelines may be used to
assess the life status of an aircraft part. Note that this is not an exhaustive list.
WARNING: If the life status of a part cannot be determined, the part shall be considered to be
beyond its safe life and must be disposed of in accordance with 14 CFR Part 43.

(1) If the part is original to the airplane:

(a) For determining compliance with calendar time life limitations, the beginning of the part life
shall be the date of issuance of the original aircraft airworthiness certificate.

(b) For determining compliance with usage related life limitations, the total aircraft hours,
landings, or cycles shall be considered as appropriate.

(2) If the part is a replacement:

(a) For determining compliance with calendar-time life limitation, consider the calender time
since the logbook verified installation date plus any prior usage of the replacement part.

(b) For determining compliance with usage related life limitations, consider the airplane hours,
landing, or cycles as appropriate, accrued since the logbook verified part installation plus any
prior usage of the replacement part.

Once the life of the part is determined, the part should be controlled by one of the acceptable
methods outlined in 14 CFR Part 43.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL
The Model 1900 Airliner Series environmental system makes use of engine bleed air for cabin pressurization,
cabin heating and providing the motive force for operation of the air cycle machine (ACM), the primary source
of cabin cooling (Ref. Figure 1). A vapor cycle system, driven from the RH engine, augments air cycle
machine cooling during times of greater heat loads when additional cooling may be required.
A system of valves, regulators and temperature and pressure sensors controls all physical aspects of the
bleed air flowing into the cabin. Two outflow valves, operated by the pressurization controller and mounted on
the aft pressure bulkhead, provide a controlled exit for the pressurization air in order to maintain a
preselected pressure differential between the cabin environment and the outside air.
Conditioned bleed air is distributed and recirculated by two distinctly different ducting systems. The outlets in
the lower cabin sidewalls deliver conditioned bleed air and recirculated cabin air to the cabin while eyeball
outlets in the cabin mid sidewall provide for cabin air recirculation and additional cooling by the vapor cycle
system.
Temperature regulation is provided for by the cabin temperature controller mounted in the center cabin
overhead upholstery. Various modes of temperature control are provided for by the controlling circuitry; the
system can be controlled manually by the flight crew, automatically by the cabin temperature controller, or the
evaporator blowers can be operated independent of temperature control.

A. Bleed Air Control


Bleed air from the compressor stages of the engines provides for pressurization, cabin heating and the
motive force for driving the air cycle machine.
A heat exchanger and two valves for each engine are used to precool the bleed air to 450°F before the
bleed air is ducted into the air cycle machine or bypassed into the cabin. A bleed air shutoff valve/
regulator for each engine, downstream of the precooler valves, provides master control of the bleed air
flow and pressure.
Protective mechanisms are provided to terminate bleed air flow in the event of failures which would
allow the bleed air temperature or pressure to increase without control. Time delay circuits on the relay
control board will prevent termination of the bleed air flow in cases of instantaneous temperature or
pressure changes of short duration. Should specific temperature and pressure limits be exceeded, the
precooler bypass valve and the pressure regulator/shutoff valve will close on the affected side.
An expanded discussion of the environmental bleed air system and controls will be found in 21-10-00
for all airplanes with single temperature sensors and pressure switches on each side.
Serials UC-39, UC-46 and after and any airplanes that have installed modification Kits 114-5018 and
114-5016 will have an additional temperature sensor and pressure switch near the ACM and filters in
the sense lines to the pressure regulator/shutoff valve and temperature controller. Refer to 21-11-00 for
a detailed description and operation of this newer version.

B. Distribution
Bleed air from the engines is precooled and delivered to the cabin through outlets in the lower cabin
sidewalls for pressurization, heating and cooling from the air cycle machine. The vapor cycle system
recirculates and further cools the cabin air as required and distributes the air through adjustable eyeball
outlets. The vapor cycle system makes use of the two evaporator blowers in order to recirculate the
cooled cabin air. Evaporator coils are mounted on the inlet side of the evaporator blowers to facilitate
the exchange of heat between the cabin air and the cooling media when the vapor cycle system is
operating. Refer to 21-20-00 for a more detailed explanation of the operation of this system.

C. Pressurization Control
Cabin pressurization is maintained at a selected level by the pressurization controller mounted in the
pedestal. The controller has settings for cabin altitude and rate-of-change. The sole function of the
pressurization controller is to control the outflow valves which open or close proportionally according to
the degree of pneumatic vacuum being provided by the controller. The controller will automatically
maintain cabin pressure at some level below a maximum operating pressure differential that is
coincident to the pressure, relative to ambient, of the altitude setting on the controller. Should a fault in
the controller cause the controller to fail to maintain cabin pressure differential below the maximum, the
outflow valves are calibrated to open and dump the excess cabin pressure.
Pneumatic vacuum air is supplied to the pressurization controller through a normally open solenoid type
valve (preset solenoid valve) and to the outflow valves through a normally closed solenoid type valve
(dump solenoid valve). These two valves are energized through the manual dump switch on the
pedestal. When the switch is in the dump mode, both solenoid valves are energized and the pneumatic
vacuum air is shunted from the pressurization controller to the outflow valves, opening them and
dumping the cabin pressure to the outside. 21-30-00 contains complete information for troubleshooting
and maintenance of this system.

D. Heating
Bleed air from the engines enters the cabin distribution ducts for heating through two electrically
operated rotary valves (the ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass valve).
The two valves operate in sequence rather than simultaneously. The ACM bypass valve opens first
when heating is required and modulates the output of the air cycle machine. As the cabin temperature
controller continues to ask for heating, the ACM bypass valve opens fully and shunts operating current
to the ejector bypass valve, by way of the valve travel limit switches, opening it. When the cabin
temperature controller begins asking for cooling, the ejector bypass valve begins closing. When the
ejector bypass valve is fully closed, operating current is shunted back to the ACM bypass valve closing
it.
The valves also serve the purpose of switching the vapor cycle system compressor in or out. For more
information on heating, refer to 21-40-00.

E. Cooling
All cabin cooling is provided by the air cycle system and, when required, by the vapor cycle system.
Vapor cycle system cooling is invoked, as discussed previously, by the switching activity of the ACM
and ejector bypass valves. General information and preliminary troubleshooting of the cooling system is
in 21-50-00.

F. Air Cycle System


The air cycle machine utilizes engine bleed air to drive a compressor which compresses the bleed air to
a point where the excess heat of compression can be removed through the use of heat exchangers;
then when the pressure is released, a specific heat deficit exists, relative to source ambient, and cooling
is affected. The sequence in the air cycle machine is as follows:

(1) Bleed air enters the air cycle machine through the first stage heat exchanger where excess heat is
removed.

(2) Bleed air travels through the air cycle machine compressor where it is compressed to a higher
pressure and temperature.

(3) Bleed air passes through the second stage heat exchanger where the excess heat of compression
is removed.

(4) Bleed air passes through the air cycle machine turbine providing the motive force necessary to
drive the compressor and cooling air fan and the pressure is released and the bleed air allowed to
expand producing a specific heat deficit in the bleed air relative to cabin ambient.

For detailed maintenance information concerning this system, refer to 21-51-00.

G. Vapor Cycle System


When heat loads are such that the air cycle system is producing maximum cooling, a signal is
transmitted to the temperature controlling circuitry which causes the refrigerant compressor clutch to be
engaged, thereby turning the compressor and initiating the cooling cycle of the vapor cycle system.
A condensing coil and blower assembly, located in the right forward inboard wing, removes excess heat
from the high temperature, high pressure gaseous refrigerant being discharged from the compressor,
allowing the refrigerant to condense to the liquid state. The high pressure, low temperature liquid
refrigerant passes through a metering device (thermostatic expansion valve) into the evaporator where
the pressure is relieved and the refrigerant allowed to evaporate into the gaseous state producing a
heat deficit in the gaseous refrigerant. Cabin air is circulated over the evaporator coil where heat is
transferred from the cabin air to the gaseous refrigerant. The low pressure, low temperature refrigerant
then returns to the compressor and the entire cycle is repeated.
Once the vapor cycle system is activated, it will remain in operation until such time as the ACM bypass
valve has opened fully, at which time a signal is transmitted to the heat side of the heat/cool relay and
vapor cycle cooling is terminated.
Certain measures have been taken to protect the vapor cycle system from damage during normal
operation. A 40°F outside air temperature switch keeps the system from being activated while in low
ambient temperature conditions; this switch closes at 50 ± 5°F and opens at 30 ± 5°F. Overpressure
and underpressure switches deactivate the system in the event operating pressures exceed the
maximum or minimum safe operating limits. 21-52-00 contains information to aid in troubleshooting and
maintaining this system in proper operating condition.

H. Temperature Control
Temperature control in the Model 1900 Airliner Series is accomplished by the cabin temperature
controller which makes use of temperature sensitive resistance devices to register cabin temperatures.
The totally solid state circuitry in the cabin temperature controller issues commands to the air cycle
machine bypass and ejector bypass valves to control the amount of cooling provided by the air cycle
machine. When the air cycle machine is providing maximum cooling, the cool command from the cabin
temperature controller is shunted through limit switches in the bypass valves to the cool side of the
heat-cool command relay, energizing the compressor clutch of the vapor cycle system and initiating
vapor cycle system cooling.
Heat commands, issued by the cabin temperature controller, cause the ACM and ejector bypass valves
to open and duct uncooled bleed air into the cabin. When heating is required and the ACM bypass valve
opens fully, the heat command from the cabin temperature controller is shunted to the heat side of the
heat-cool relay and the vapor cycle system is cycled off.
Electrical schematics and troubleshooting Charts in 21-60-00 will aid the technician in properly
maintaining this system.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
(UA-1 AND AFTER, UB-1 AND AFTER AND UC-1 THRU UC-45, EXCEPT UC-39)
Bleed air from the P3 stage of the engine is precooled to 450 ± 25°F by the precooler heat exchanger,
mounted immediately aft of the engine oil cooler, and pressure regulated to 38 ± 2 psig by the pressure
regulator/shutoff valve (Ref. Figure 203, Maintenance Practices section). A precooler-bypass and a
precooler-through valve modulate the amount of bleed air passing through the precooler. The two valves
operate oppositely: when the precooler-through valve is opening, the bypass valve is closing and vice versa
(Ref. Figure 201, Maintenance Practices section).
When the bleed air control switch is turned on, all three environmental bleed air valves are energized
(precooler-through valve, precooler-bypass valve and pressure regulator/shutoff valve) through the normally
closed contacts of the bleed air valve deactivate relay. If bleed air pressure is adequate, a temperature
controller assumes control of the two precooler valves and pneumatically controls the valves in varying
degrees to maintain the specified bleed air temperature.
A small surge tank, attached to the bleed air line, dampens any surges in bleed air pressure and provides a
stable reference source for the overpressure limit switch. Should the overpressure limit of 44 ± 1 psig be
exceeded due to a malfunction of the regulator/shutoff valve, the overpressure-limit switch will close. This
energizes the bleed-air-valve-deactivate relay, thereby removing voltage from the bleed air valves and
allowing them to close. When the overpressure switch closes, a signal is simultaneously transmitted to the
annunciator system, illuminating the ENVIR FAIL annunciator.
A temperature sensor attached to the bleed air line monitors bleed air temperature and transmits that
information to the bleed air overtemperature detector (Ref. 21-10-07, Figure 201). The overtemperature
detector will energize the bleed air valve-deactivate relay if the precooler system fails and allows the bleed air
temperature to increase to 500°F ± 20. When a failure is detected, an ENVIR FAIL annunciator signal is
simultaneously generated. A single bleed air overtemperature detector has inputs and outputs for both left
and right bleed air control.
Any time the bleed-air-deactivate relay is energized and opens the bleed-air-valve power circuits, a latching
circuit will hold the relay in that mode. The bleed air-deactivate relay will be reset and the power circuits for
the valves restored when the bleed air control switch is placed in the ENVIR OFF position.
The instrument bleed air shutoff valves and the ejector heater of the cycle machine are also controlled
through the bleed air control switches.

1. PROCEDURES
(UA-1 AND AFTER, UB-1 AND AFTER AND UC-1 THRU UC-45, EXCEPT UC-39)
Maintenance of the environmental bleed air system will usually be limited to the replacing of valves and
performing certain maintenance checks. Bleed air lines should be opened only as a last resort when
necessity dictates.
The precooler-bypass valves and their interconnecting network should be removed as an assembly. Space
restrictions make it extremely difficult to perform any kind of maintenance, other than functional checks on the
valves, while they are installed in the airplane.

A. Precooler Functional Check


Air pressure, taken directly from the bleed air line, operates the precooler bypass and precooler-through
valves. Solenoids on each valve control the valve in order to maintain the on/off states of the valves. A
temperature controller modulates the air pressure, providing proportional control of the two precooler
valves. On rising bleed air temperatures, the temperature controller reduces the air pressure which
causes the precooler-through valve to begin opening and the bypass valve to begin closing; the inverse
of this occurs on decreasing bleed air temperature (Ref. Figure 201).
In the de-energized state, the through-valve solenoid closes and prevents the servo air from escaping
through the temperature controller. The bypass valve opens when de-energized to relieve pressure on
the through valve diaphragm, allowing the valve to spring-return to the closed position.
A procedure for checking the function of the valves follows:

(1) Set both bleed air valve switches to INST ENVIR OFF position.

(2) Locate the flexible bleed air hose descending from the LH side of the engine and disconnect it
from the manifold inlet of the precooler valve.

(3) Fabricate an orifice plate 2.60 inches in diameter with a 0.064 to 0.071-inch orifice in the center of
the plate. The orifice plate may be fabricated out of 0.032-inch-thick 2024-T3 Aluminum sheet.

(4) Loosen the coupling on the duct just downstream of the temperature controller.

(5) Insert the fabricated orifice plate between the flanges and reinstall the coupling; torque the clamp
nut only enough to prevent excessive leakage.

(6) Notice the valve position indicators on the valve bodies. The bypass valve should be closed and
the precooler-through valve open.

(7) Connect shop air pressure, regulated to 35 ± 5 psig, to the manifold inlet of the precooler valve.

(8) Check the valve position indicators; both valves should be closed.

(9) Apply 28 vdc at pin A of each precooler valve simultaneously to simulate the relay control when
the system is normally on. The bypass valve should now be open and the precooler-through valve
will remain closed. Should the bypass valve remain closed and the precooler-through valve open,
the temperature controller is defective and should be replaced.

Page 201
21-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(10) Loosen the servo air connection on the temperature controller, allowing the servo air to escape.
The bypass valve should now close and the precooler-through valve should open.

(11) Should either valve fail to operate as indicated, remove the manifold assembly and precooler
valve, then, replace the valve; otherwise, reconnect the flexible hose to the manifold inlet, torquing
the clamp nut to 35 ± 2 inch-pounds, and replace the temperature controller located in the bleed
air line just inboard of the valves.

(12) Remove the orifice plate from the coupling downstream of the temperature controller and reinstall
the clamp, torquing the clamp nut to 40 ± 2 inch-pounds.

Nov 1/09 21-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Temperature Check
Bleed air temperatures are continuously monitored by the overtemperature detector. Temperature
sensors, mounted in the bleed air lines, change resistance proportionate to bleed air temperature. Logic
circuits in the overtemperature detector make use of this information and, through relay logic, close the
pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side (Ref. Figure 202).
The following procedure determines if the bleed air temperature is within normal operating limits.
Locate the overtemperature detector module in the subfloor, Zone 163 (or Zone 143 on later models).

(1) Remove the connector (P118) from the detector module.

(2) Operate the engines at 1550 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds torque.

(3) Measure the resistance between pins 2 and 3 of the connector for the left engine or between pins
15 and 16 for the right engine.

(4) Resistance should be between 445 and 515 ohms for a normally operating system. Any readings
between 200 and 445 ohms or between 515 and 700 ohms indicates a fault in the
precooler-bypass valve, precooler-through valve, or temperature controller. Any reading below
200 ohms or above 700 ohms indicates a faulty temperature sensor.

C. Pressure Check
Bleed air pressure is maintained at 38 ± 2 psig by the pressure regulator/shutoff valve (Ref. Figure 203).
Failure of the valves to maintain proper pressure can be detected by measuring bleed air pressures.
Two test ports located in the RH and LH wheel wells have been provided for this purpose.

(1) Locate the bleed air test port in the wheel well and remove the cap.

(2) Connect a 0-50 psi pressure gage accurate to within ± 1 psi to the test port.

(3) Operate the engine at 1550 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds torque.

NOTE: There are no adjustments on Janitrol pressure regulator/shutoff valves. For adjustment of
Dukes pressure regulator/shutoff valves, refer to DUKES PRESSURE REGULATOR/
SHUTOFF VALVE ADJUSTMENT, in this section.

(4) If bleed air pressure does not stabilize at 38 ± 2 psig, the pressure regulator/shutoff valve should
be adjusted or replaced.

(5) While supporting the pilot regulator, loosen the large jam nut on the bellows housing.

NOTE: Do not loosen the smaller jam nut located on the opposite end of the pressure regulator/
shutoff valve. If the smaller jam nut is moved, the valve can not be adjusted properly.

(6) The bellows housing is rotated to adjust the pressure. One-eighth turn (45°) of the bellows housing
changes the regulated pressure approximately 4 to 5 psi. Do not make any adjustment of more
than one-quarter turn (90°) at a time.

(a) To decrease the pressure, rotate the bellows housing clockwise (screw in).

(b) To increase the pressure, rotate the bellows housing counterclockwise (screw out).

(7) Tighten the jam nut while supporting the bellows housing to prevent the adjustment from being
altered.

CAUTION: The right inboard leading edge wing panel must be in place when the right engine is
run. The left engine may be run without replacing the left upper inboard wing panel.

(8) Operate the engine at 1540 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds of torque. If the bleed air pressure is not
between 36 and 40 psig, shut down the engine and make additional adjustments to the valve.

(9) If the valve does not respond to this adjustment procedure, it must be replaced.

(10) Install safety wire through the jam nuts at each end of the pilot regulator.

BLEED AIR CONTROL


21-11-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL - (UC-39, UC-46 AND AFTER)


This subchapter covers those bleed air control systems currently built or ones that have been modified with
kits as described below:
On UC-39, UC-46 and After, and any airplanes with Kit No. 114-5016 and 114-5018 installed, an additional
pressure switch and temperature sensor are installed near the ACM. A filter is also added in the pressure
regulator/shutoff valve sense line and two smaller filters are added in the pressure line from the temperature
controller to the precooler valves for each side. The overpressure and over temperature functions are slightly
different in that a new PCB is used for relay control of the pneumatic valves.
Bleed air from the P3 stage of the engine is maintained at 450° ± 25°F by the precooler heat exchanger and
control valves. Bleed air is pressure regulated to 38 ± 2 psig by the pressure regulator/shutoff valve (PRSOV).
Bleed air for instrumentation is controlled by the normally open pneumatic bleed air shutoff valve
(Ref. Figures 201 and 202, Maintenance Practices section).

A. Bleed Air Valves Switch


Each BLEED AIR VALVE switch controls four valves. The pneumatic bleed air shutoff valve is held shut
by voltage when the control switch is in the INST ENVIR OFF position. The pressure regulator/shutoff
valve and precooler valves are controlled by relay logic actuated by the control switch and use bleed air
to operate with. The ACM heater is turned on by either the left or right switch.

B. Bleed Air Control Module


Relay logic is provided by the A317 Bleed Air Control Module PCB. Inputs from the control switch,
pressure switches and over temperature detector will shut the valves on the selected side. When a
pressure or temperature fault is detected by the pcb, 28 vdc is applied to the warning legend
annunciator. LEDs on the pcb light up when a fault has been encountered. Red LEDs for the right or left
side indicates a pressure fault, and green LEDs indicates a temperature fault.

C. Precooler Valves
A precooler bypass and a precooler-thru valve modulate the amount of bleed air passing through the
precooler. The two valves operate oppositely; when the thru valve is opening, the bypass valve is
closing and vise versa. If bleed air pressure is adequate, a temperature controller assumes control of
the two precooler valves and pneumatically controls the valves in varying degrees in order to maintain
the specified bleed air temperature.

Page 1
21-11-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Overpressure
Three overpressure switches monitor bleed air pressure, one for each side and a third located near the
air cycle machine (ACM). The ACM pressure switch has two sets of contacts, one for each side of the
system, which close at 40 ± 1 psi on increasing pressure to indicate an overpressure condition. The left
and right pressure switches close at 44 ± 1 psi on increasing pressure to indicate an over pressure
condition. An overpressure signal to the A317 PCB will occur only when one side and the ACM pressure
switch close. When an overpressure is reported, the relay logic removes voltage applied to the
precooler valves and the pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side. The same signal and
relay logic will illuminate the L/R ENVIR FAIL warning annunciator. Anytime the pressure regulator/
shutoff valve closes, the L/R ENVIR OFF caution/advisory annunciator illuminates. A surge tank
between each left and right switch dampens pressure surges and provides a stable bleed air reference.

E. Over temperature
Three temperature sensors monitor bleed air temperature and report it to the overtemperature detector.
Like the pressure switches, there is one for each side and one near the ACM. Signals from the
overtemperature detector actuate the relay logic to remove voltage applied to the precooler valves and
the pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side. The same signal and relay logic will illuminate
the L/R ENVIR FAIL warning annunciator. Anytime the pressure regulator/shutoff valve closes, the L/R
ENVIR OFF caution/advisory annunciator illuminates.

1. GENERAL - (UC-39, UC-46 AND AFTER)


Should an abnormal temperature be encountered, evaluation of the precooler system and controls is
required. Abnormal bleed air pressures will be corrected by troubleshooting the pressure regulator/shutoff
valve and control (Ref. Figures 201 and 202, Maintenance Practices section).
Table 101 presents a scheme of troubleshooting in a logical sequence of checks and should serve as a guide
for the technician in narrowing down faults to a small portion of the overall system.

BLEED AIR CONTROL
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES - (UC-39, UC-46 AND AFTER)


Maintenance of the environmental bleed air system will usually be limited to the replacing of valves and
performing certain maintenance checks. Bleed air lines should be opened only as a last resort when
necessity dictates.
The precooler-bypass valves and their interconnecting network should be removed as an assembly. Space
restrictions make it extremely difficult to perform any kind of maintenance, other than functional checks on the
valves, while they are installed in the airplane.

A. Precooler Functional Check


Air pressure, taken directly from the bleed air line, operates the precooler bypass and precooler-through
valves. Solenoids on each valve control the valve in order to maintain the on/off states of the valves. A
temperature controller modulates the air pressure, providing proportional control of the two precooler
valves. On rising bleed air temperatures, the temperature controller reduces the air pressure which
causes the precooler-through valve to begin opening and the bypass valve to begin closing; the inverse
of this occurs on decreasing bleed air temperature (Ref. Figure 201).
In the de-energized state, the through-valve solenoid closes and prevents the servo air from escaping
through the temperature controller. The bypass valve opens when de-energized to relieve pressure on
the through valve diaphragm, allowing the valve to spring-return to the closed position.
A procedure for checking the function of the valves follows:

(1) Set both bleed air valve switches to INST ENVIR OFF position.

(2) Locate the flexible bleed air hose descending from the LH side of the engine and disconnect it
from the manifold inlet of the precooler valve.

(3) Fabricate an orifice plate 2.60-inches in diameter with a 0.064 to 0.071-inch orifice in the center of
the plate. The orifice plate may be fabricated out of 0.032-inch-thick 2024-T3 Aluminum sheet.

(4) Loosen the coupling on the duct just downstream of the temperature controller.

(5) Insert the fabricated orifice plate between the flanges and reinstall the coupling; torque the clamp
nut only enough to prevent excessive leakage.

(6) Notice the valve position indicators on the valve bodies. The bypass valve should be closed and
the precooler-through valve open.

(7) Connect shop air pressure, regulated to 35 ± 5 psig, to the manifold inlet of the precooler valve.

(8) Check the valve position indicators; both valves should be closed.

(9) Apply 28 vdc at pin A of each precooler valve simultaneously to simulate the relay control when
the system is normally on. The bypass valve should now be open and the precooler-through valve
will remain closed. Should the bypass valve remain closed and the precooler-through valve open,
the temperature controller is defective and should be replaced.

Page 201
21-11-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(10) Loosen the servo air connection on the temperature controller, allowing the servo air to escape.
The bypass valve should now close and the precooler-through valve should open.

(11) Should either valve fail to operate as indicated, remove the manifold assembly and precooler
valve, then, replace the valve; otherwise, reconnect the flexible hose to the manifold inlet, torquing
the clamp nut to 35 ± 2-inch-pounds, and replace the temperature controller located in the bleed
air line just inboard of the valves.

(12) Remove the orifice plate from the coupling downstream of the temperature controller and install
the clamp, torquing the clamp nut to 40 ± 2-inch-pounds.

(UC-39, UC- 46 and After)

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Temperature Check
Bleed air temperatures are continuously monitored by the overtemperature detector. Temperature
sensors, mounted in the bleed air lines, change resistance proportionate to bleed air temperature. Logic
circuits in the overtemperature detector make use of this information and, through relay logic, close the
pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side (Ref. Figure 202).
The following procedure determines if the bleed air temperature is within normal operating limits.
Locate the overtemperature detector module in the subfloor, Zone 163.

(1) Remove the connector from the detector module.

(2) Operate the engines at 1550 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds torque.

(3) Measure the resistance between pins 2 and 3 of the connector for the left engine, between pins 15
and 16 for the right engine and between pins 8 and 9 for the ACM.

(4) Resistance should be between 445 and 515 ohms for a normally operating system. Any readings
between 200 and 445 ohms or between 515 and 700 ohms indicates a fault in the
precooler-bypass valve, precooler-through valve, or temperature controller. Any reading below
200 ohms or above 700 ohms indicates a faulty temperature sensor (Ref. Figure 202).

C. Pressure Check
Bleed air pressure is maintained at 38 ± 2 psig by the pressure regulator/shutoff valve. Failure of the
valves to maintain proper pressure can be detected by measuring bleed air pressures. Two test ports
located in the RH and LH wheel wells have been provided for this purpose.

(1) Locate the bleed air test port in the wheel well and remove the cap.

(2) Connect a 0 to 50 psi pressure gage accurate to within ± 1 psi to the test port.

(3) Operate the engine at 1550 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds torque.

NOTE: There are no adjustments on Janitrol pressure regulator/shutoff valves. For adjustment of
Dukes pressure regulator/shutoff valves (DUKES PRESSURE REGULATOR/SHUTOFF
VALVE ADJUSTMENT).

(4) If bleed air pressure does not stabilize at 38 ± 2 psig, the pressure regulator/shutoff valve should
be adjusted or replaced.

D. Pressure Operational Check


The operational overpressure test may be accomplished as follows:

(1) Rotate the switch to the P position.

(2) Run the engines up to 85% power.

(3) The ENVIR FAIL and MASTER WARNING annunciator lights should illuminate within 60 seconds.

(4) The ENVIR OFF annunciator light should illuminate.

E. Temperature Operational Check


The operational overtemperature test may be accomplished as follows:

(1) Rotate the switch to the T position.

(2) Run the engines up to 85% power.

(3) The ENVIR FAIL and MASTER WARNING annunciator lights should illuminate within 60 seconds.

(4) The ENVIR OFF annunciator light should illuminate.

(5) Check the system for proper operation (Ref. 21-11-00, BLEED AIR PRESSURE CHECK and
BLEED AIR PRESSURE OPERATIONAL CHECK).

C. Adjustment
If the bleed air pressure is not between 36 to 40 psig, the pressure regulator/shutoff valve must be
adjusted as follows:
WARNING: Do not adjust the pressure regulator/shutoff valve while the engine is running.

(1) Install a pressure gage and measure bleed air pressure (Ref. 21-11-00, BLEED AIR PRESSURE
CHECK).

(2) When the right valve needs to be adjusted, remove the right inboard leading edge wing panel.

(3) When the left valve needs to be adjusted, remove the left upper inboard wing panel.

(4) Locate the pressure regulator/shutoff valve and remove the safety wire from the jam nut on the
bellows housing.

NOTE: Do not loosen the smaller jam nut located on the opposite end of the pressure regulator/
shutoff valve. If the smaller jam nut is moved, the valve can not be adjusted properly.

(5) While supporting the pilot regulator, loosen the large jam nut on the bellows housing.

(6) The bellows housing is rotated to adjust the pressure. One-eighth turn (45°) of the bellows housing
changes the regulated pressure approximately 4 to 5 psi. Do not make any adjustment of more
than one-quarter turn (90°) at a time.

(a) To decrease the pressure, rotate the bellows housing clockwise (screw in).

(b) To increase the pressure, rotate the bellows housing counterclockwise (screw out).

(7) Tighten the jam nut while supporting the bellows housing to prevent the adjustment from being
altered.

CAUTION: The right inboard leading edge wing panel must be in place when the right engine is
run. The left engine may be running without replacing the left upper inboard wing
panel.

(8) Operate the engine at 1540 rpm and 3000 foot-pounds of torque. If the bleed air pressure is not
between 36 and 40 psig, shut down the engine and make additional adjustments to the valve.

(9) If the valve does not respond to this adjustment procedure, it must be replaced.

(10) Install safety wire (178, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) through the jam nuts at each end of the pilot
regulator.

(11) Replace any wing panels that were removed. Check that the leading edge deicer boot plumbing is
properly connected.

(12) Remove the pressure test gage and replace the test port cap.

DISTRIBUTION
21-20-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Air produced to cool and heat the airplane cabin is distributed through insulated ducting to outlets located on
the cabin floor, adjacent to the armrests, and in the flight compartment. Distribution ducting for the air cycle
system is independent of the ducting for the vapor cycle cooling system (Ref. 21-10-00).

A. Vapor Cycle Air Distribution


Cool air produced by the vapor cycle cooling system is distributed by the vent blowers through insulated
ducts to the passenger compartment and the flight compartment (Ref. Figure 1). The eyeball outlets can
be adjusted to control the direction and amount of airflow and are located above the passenger
compartment armrests and in the flight compartment overhead panel.
The blowers for the vapor cycle cooling system are located immediately forward of each evaporator and
will operate in high speed or low speed when the cabin temperature mode switch is set to each position
(Ref. Figure 2). When the blower control switch is set to AUTO, the blowers will operate in the LO speed
when the mode switch is set to each position except OFF. When the blower control switch is set to HI or
LO, the blowers will operate in the selected speed regardless of the position of the mode switch. The
low speed relays are energized through the VENT BLOWER CONTROL circuit breaker, the mode
switch, and the blower control switch. The circuit breaker is located on the circuit breaker panel. When
the mode switch is set to OFF, the low speed relays are energized through the LO position of the blower
control switch. The low speed relays can be energized through the mode switch when the blower control
is set to AUTO. When the vent blower control switch is set to LO or AUTO, only the low speed relays are
energized and power is supplied through the 30-ampere limiters to the LO wire of each vent blower. The
vent blower control switch is located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. The relays are located adjacent
to the blowers. A thermal protection device in the low speed circuit (LO terminal) of the ventilation
blower (modified by Kit No. 630-203-1 or Kit No. BC80A-901-3) provides thermal protection to the vent
blower assembly. The thermal protection device will interrupt power to the low speed circuit resistor at a
specified temperature setting. This protects the vent blower from overheating due to shorted brush
lead-wires or deteriorated armature bearings which can cause smoke or fumes to enter into the vent
system. Refer to Table 1, VENTILATION BLOWER ASSEMBLY, for new part number after modification
kit is installed. The vent blower control switch is located on the copilot’s inboard subpanel. The relays
are located adjacent to the blowers (Ref. Figure 2). The high speed relays are energized through the
blower control switch when it is set to the HI position. When the high speed relays are energized, power
is supplied through the closed contacts of the high speed relays and the low speed relays to the HI wire
of each vent blower.
Flapper valves installed on each blower assembly provide air to the evaporators to help prevent
moisture from freezing on the evaporators when a large percentage of the eyeball outlets are closed.

B. Air Cycle System Distribution


Conditioned bleed air, produced by the air cycle machine cooling system, is distributed through
insulated ducting to floor outlets in the passenger compartment and the flight compartment. The floor
outlets include protective coverings and are located adjacent to the sidewalls on the floor of the
passenger compartment and the flight compartment. A flapper valve is installed in the ducting and is
controlled by a push-pull cable located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. The flapper valve is located at
the junction of the ejector tube and the main distribution duct and is in line with the third cabin window.
The control cable can be pulled to divert most of the conditioned bleed air forward to the flight
compartment (Ref. Figure 1).
Ambient air can be supplied to the cabin through the air cycle system ducting when the airplane is
depressurized. A manually controlled valve located in the nose ram air duct can be opened to allow air
to enter the airplane through the ram air door solenoid valve and the manual valve when the cabin
pressure control switch is set to DUMP. The control for the manual shutoff valve is a push-pull cable
mounted under the copilot's inboard subpanel.

C. Defrost and Flight Compartment Heat


Conditioned bleed air, produced in the air cycle machine, is distributed through insulated ducting to
outlets located forward of the instrument panel for heating and windshield defrost. Push-pull cables
allow the pilot and copilot to control butterfly valves that control the amount of conditioned bleed air flow
from the outlets. The pilot's control is located on the pilot's outboard subpanel and the copilot's control is
located on the copilot's outboard subpanel.
Conditioned bleed air for windshield defrost is controlled by a push-pull cable control located on the
pilot's inboard subpanel. The control cable is pulled to allow conditioned bleed air flow through a
butterfly valve to the windshield.

PRESSURIZATION CONTROL
21-30-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Pressurization of the airplane cabin is controlled by the cabin pressurization controller, a pneumatic relay,
solenoid valves, and outflow valves. The pressure controller, pneumatic relay, preset and dump solenoids,
volume tank and orifices are installed within the pedestal in the flight compartment. The cabin pressure
control switch, the climb rate indicator, the cabin differential pressure indicator, and the pressure controller
selectors are located on the pedestal. Orifices installed in the vacuum and vacuum control lines, in the
pressure controller, and in the pneumatic relay help limit the amount of change in cabin pressurization. Filters
are incorporated in the cabin air ports on the pressure controller, and the pneumatic relay. Outflow valves
sense atmospheric pressure through plumbing that connects the valves to static ports located on the LH side
and the RH side of the fuselage aft of the aft cabin door. These static ports are separate from the static ports
connected to the instruments mentioned in Chapter 34-10-00. The outflow valves are installed on dump vent
ducts located on the aft pressure bulkhead. On serials UC-1 and after, a low point drain is located at F.S. 163,
on the right side, under the cabin flooring. The drain is used to relieve any water that may collect in the control
lines between the dump valve solenoid and the outflow valves (Ref. Figures 1 and 2).
Vacuum pressure for the pressure controller is controlled by a vacuum regulator located immediately aft of
the forward pressure bulkhead. This regulator is used only in the pressurization system and maintains a
vacuum pressure between 3.75 and 4.75 in. Hg. The regulator is connected to the vacuum manifold. For
further information on the vacuum manifold (Ref. Chapter 37-00-00).
The inflow of air for cabin pressurization is environmental bleed air from the LH and RH engines. The inflow
pressure is controlled by bleed air regulator/shutoff valves installed in the bleed air lines connected to each
engine compressor. For information on the valves and the control of bleed air from each engine
(Ref. 21-10-00).
When the cabin pressure control switch is set to PRESS (pressurize) prior to takeoff, the energized preset
solenoid shuts off the regulating vacuum to the pressurization controller (Ref. Figures 1 and 2). The
energized pressure dump solenoid opens, making vacuum control available to the outflow valves. The
vacuum control is amplified by the pneumatic relay and allows the diaphragm in the outflow valves to open so
that the cabin pressure altitude and the rate of change of cabin pressure can be set on the pressure
controller.
In flight (when the squat switch is opened), the preset solenoid (normally open) is de-energized and allows
vacuum to be applied to the controller. The dump solenoid valve (normally closed) de-energizes and shuts off
direct vacuum to the outflow valves. The controller then controls the outflow valves through the pneumatic
relay. The pneumatic relay amplifies the vacuum control from the controller to allow the outflow valves to be
controlled in tandem. The function of each valve is identical. Each outflow valve contains a relief valve that
relieves cabin pressure according to the rate-of-change and altitude set on the pressure controller unless the
valve relieves pressure when the cabin-to-atmosphere pressure differential exceeds a maximum differential
of 4.8 psi ± 0.1. The volume tank provides a pressure memory to allow the controller an accurate
rate-of-change control. If atmospheric pressure exceeds cabin pressure, a negative pressure relief
diaphragm in each outflow valve opens the valves to allow atmospheric pressure to relieve cabin negative
pressure. The cabin pressure control switch can be set to the TEST position to de-energize the preset and
dump solenoids and allow the pressure control system to function as though the airplane were in flight.

Page 1
21-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Ambient air can enter the cabin when the cabin pressure differential is minimal and the ram air door solenoid
latch is opened (de-energized) by setting the cabin pressure control switch to DUMP. If the VENT manual
control is pulled to open the butterfly in the ram air inlet, ambient air is allowed to flow into the ram air inlet,
through the solenoid controlled door on the forward pressure bulkhead, and into the conditioned bleed air
duct in the flight compartment. When the cabin pressure control switch is set to the PRESS position, the ram
air door solenoid latch is energized to the closed position and magnetically holds the ram air door closed.
When the airplane lands (the LH squat switch is in the down position), the preset solenoid and the dump
solenoid are energized and the cabin is allowed to depressurize through the opened outflow valves.
Cabin pressure altitude and the cabin-to-atmosphere pressure differential are indicated on the differential
pressure indicator. The pressure differential is expressed in psig and the pressure altitude is expressed in
thousands of feet. The climb-rate-indicator allows monitoring of the rate of change of cabin pressurization.
Cabin pressure altitude and the rate of change of cabin pressure altitude can be controlled by using the
appropriate adjustment knob located on the cabin pressure controller. However, the differential pressure
indicator and the climb rate indicator are not directly connected to the controller. Turning the rate-of-change
selector clockwise will increase the rate of change of cabin pressurization and turning the selector
counterclockwise will decrease the rate of change.
If cabin pressure altitude exceeds 12,500 +0 -500 feet, the cabin altitude warning pressure switch closes, and
the warning annunciator light labeled CABIN ALT will illuminate. The cabin altitude warning circuit is separate
from the pressurization control circuit. The pressure switch in the altitude warning circuit is installed on the
fuselage electrical equipment panel located beneath the cabin floorboard in line with the aft edge of the cabin
forward door (Ref. Chapter 39-20-00).

1. PROCEDURES
This troubleshooting section contains a simple AIRBORNE FUNCTIONAL TEST to determine that the cabin
is pressurizing properly. The AIRBORNE SYSTEM CHECKS is also included to check that the entire system
is functioning properly during flight.
In addition, there are two methods to check the CABIN LEAK RATE. The FLIGHTLINE GROUND TEST is a
simplified version which requires running an engine and using the airplane’s pressurization controls.
The HANGAR GROUND TEST does not require starting the engines, uses test equipment to monitor cabin
pressure, and includes three configurations for attaching test equipment for pressurizing the cabin. For
information on troubleshooting (Ref. Figure 101). Figure 101 is used in conjunction with the
PRESSURIZATION CHECKS WORKSHEET (Ref. Table 101).

A. Airborne Functional Test


(1) Prior to takeoff, start at least one engine and set N1 to 85 percent. Set the applicable bleed air
switch to OPEN. Set the controller at an altitude approximately 1000 feet below field pressure
altitude or to sea level on the dial, whichever is the higher altitude, and hold the control switch in
the TEST position for at least 45 seconds. The climb rate indicator and the cabin pressure altitude
should show a decrease. If the controller is set above field pressure altitude, the climb rate
indicator will drop, then stabilize at zero when the control switch is held in the TEST position.
Pressurization will not occur unless the controller is set below field pressure altitude.

(2) After performing the procedures outlined in Step (1), operate the system with the control switch in
the PRESS position. Prior to takeoff, set the desired cabin pressure altitude and the rate-of-climb
on the pressure controller.

As the airplane leaves the ground, the cabin will pressurize at the rate set on the cabin
rate-of-climb selector until the preset cabin altitude is reached, or until the maximum pressure
differential is reached. The cabin will then maintain pressurization according to the maximum
differential pressure of the outflow valves (4.8 psi ± 0.1). The maximum differential pressure for
each valve is identical. Cabin altitude will continue to climb at a slower rate than the airplane until
cruise altitude is reached. Cabin pressure will then stabilize and maintain maximum differential
control.

B. Airborne System Checks


Troubleshooting of the pressurization system is best carried out in two phases: data collection and data
analysis. Data is collected as a result of a series of operational checks and recorded on the
PRESSURIZATION CHECKS WORKSHEETS. The data is then applied to the troubleshooting
flowchart where certain fault possibilities and appropriate corrective actions are suggested
(Ref. Table 101).

The pressurization checks are performed in four stages: prestart, preflight, climb and cruise.
Occasionally, at certain points during the checks, the procedure suggests terminating the entire check
procedure until the currently revealed fault is corrected. Beyond these points, any further data collection
would most likely yield unreliable results.
It is suggested that no attempt to analyze data be made during the data collection phase of the

1. PRESSURIZATION CHECK PROCEDURES

A. Equipment Required
(1) Test Altimeter (Certified Accurate)

(2) Pressurization Checks Worksheet

B. Prestart Procedure
(1) Remove the upper aft upholstery panel covering the outflow valves. Check all components and
lines for security of attachment.

(2) Notice the positions of the outflow valves: both valves should be closed. Replace either valve that
is not closed.

C. Preflight Procedure
(1) Start the engines according to the procedure outlined in the appropriate Pilot’s Operating
Handbook.

(2) Turn on the instrument air only and time the outflow valves’ opening cycles: it may take up to 30
seconds for the valves to open fully. Replace either valve that does not open.

(3) Turn the instrument air off and time the closing of the valves: closing time for these valves should
be between 15 and 30 seconds. Replace either valve for excessive closing time.

NOTE: An outflow valve which operates too quickly or too slowly may cause “bumps” when
transitional between pressurized and non pressurized operation.

(4) Set the copilot’s altimeter and the test altimeter to 29.92 in. Hg. and record the field pressure
altitude (FPA) from the copilot’s altimeter and the cabin pressure altitude (CPA) from the test
altimeter. If a discrepancy exists between the two altimeter readings, set the copilot’s altimeter to
the same altitude setting as the test altimeter.

(5) Turn on both environmental bleed air switches and increase engine rpm to high idle.

(6) Set the controller cabin altitude dial to 1000 feet below FPA or to sea level on the dial, whichever is
the higher altitude.

NOTE: At low elevation airports during high barometric pressure days, when the FPA is below
sea level, this check cannot be performed and should be no cause to condemn any
component in the pressurization system.

(7) While monitoring the outflow valves, hold the pressurization control switch in the TEST position.

(8) The cabin rate-of-change indicator should indicate a descent within 45 seconds. If the cabin will
not pressurize at this point, discontinue these checks; the cabin leak rate is too great or the cabin
ram air door may not be closed.

Page 201
21-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(9) When the cabin rate of change stabilizes, turn the rate knob to minimum (fully CCW) and notice
that the cabin rate of change decreases. Replace a controller that shows no change in rate
response.

(10) When the cabin altitude stabilizes (rate-of-change indicator reads zero), record the cabin altitude
from the test altimeter and the airplanes cabin altitude indicator; record cabin altitude setting on
the pressurization controller and the reading from the cabin differential pressure gage.

(11) While still holding the test switch in TEST, turn the cabin altitude select dial to 500 feet above FPA.

(12) The cabin rate-of-change indicator should indicate a rate of climb. Turn the rate-of-change knob to
the maximum rate and notice an increase in the rate of climb: the cabin should stabilize at FPA.
Replace a controller that shows no change in rate response.

(13) Set cabin altitude on the controller to 2000 feet above FPA and the rate knob to the 12 o’clock
position.

(14) Turn off both environmental bleed air sources according to the guidelines listed in the Pilot’s
Operating Handbook.

D. During Climb
(1) Turn both environmental bleed air sources on.

NOTE: Should the cabin fail to begin pressurizing after passing through the cabin altitude
selected on the controller, discontinue these checks: the left landing gear squat switch is
not opening the preset and dump solenoids circuit.

(2) Select SL on the controller and climb the airplane to 12,000 feet pressure altitude according to the
copilot’s altimeter: record this altitude on the worksheet. Cabin altitude should stabilize between
850 and 1250 feet.

E. Cabin Leak Check


(1) Turn off RH and LH environmental bleed air and record the cabin rate of climb when the rate
stabilizes: the cabin rate of climb will initially indicate a rate above the actual leak rate, stabilize,
then begin to decrease gradually. Record the cabin climb rate at the point where the cabin rate
begins to decrease gradually.

NOTE: If the cabin leak rate exceeds 2400 fpm, terminate these checks and correct the cabin leak
rate.

(2) Turn on both bleed air sources and permit the cabin altitude to stabilize once again.

F. Single Source Check


(1) Turn the left environmental bleed air off.

(2) Reduce power towards high idle on the RH engine and record the engine N1 at the point where
cabin altitude begins to climb. Do not reduce power below high idle.

(3) Restore power to the RH engine and turn the left bleed air on.

(4) Permit the cabin altitude to stabilize again and turn the right environmental bleed air off.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 21-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(5) Reduce the power towards high idle on the LH engine and record the engine N1 at the point where
cabin altitude begins to climb. Do not reduce the power below high idle.

(6) Restore power to the LH engine and turn the RH bleed air on.

G. Maximum Differential Check


(1) Before beginning the next check ensure that the airplane is at the pressure altitude selected
earlier, 12,000 feet.

WARNING: Carefully monitor the cabin pressure differential during the following
differential pressure checks to ensure that cabin pressure does not exceed the
maximum allowable limit. Should the altitude on the test altimeter descend
below 850 feet, discontinue this check immediately. Placing the pressurization
control switch in DUMP will allow cabin pressure to return to normal limits.

(2) Disconnect the atmospheric reference lines from the LH outflow valve and seal the reference lines
to prevent loss of cabin pressure through the reference ports: this evaluates the maximum
differential pressure function of the RH outflow valve.

(3) Record the cabin altitude from the test altimeter (Tol: 880 to 1265 ft), cabin differential from the
airplanes differential pressure gage (Tol: 4.7 to 4.9 psi), and cabin altitude from the airplanes cabin
altimeter.

CAUTION: An outflow valve which fails to maintain cabin altitude within acceptable tolerance
must be replaced. These valves are not field adjustable and any attempt to adjust a
valve will void the warranty.

(4) Reconnect the atmospheric reference lines to the LH outflow valve and remove the atmospheric
reference lines from the opposite valve, sealing the reference lines as before: this will evaluate the
maximum differential pressure function of the LH valve.

(5) Record cabin altitude from the test altimeter (Tol: 880 to 1265 ft), cabin differential from the
airplane’s differential pressure gage (Tol: 4.7 to 4.9 psi), and cabin altitude from the airplane’s
cabin altimeter; then reconnect the atmospheric reference lines to the outflow valve.

(6) Restore power to the LH engine and turn the RH bleed air on.

H. Controller Check
(1) Select MIN rate and 8000 feet cabin altitude on the controller, allow the rate of climb to stabilize
and time the amount of change in cabin pressure altitude, according to the test altimeter, for sixty
seconds. Record this minimum up-rate on the worksheet.

(2) Select MAX rate, allow the rate of climb to stabilize and time the amount of change in cabin
pressure altitude for sixty seconds. Record this maximum up-rate on the worksheet.

(3) When the cabin altitude stabilizes and the rate-of-change indicator has returned to zero, record the
cabin pressure altitude from the test altimeter.

(4) Select MIN rate and 2000 feet cabin altitude on the controller, allow the rate of descent to stabilize
and time the amount of change in cabin pressure altitude for sixty seconds. Record this minimum
down-rate on the worksheet.

Page 203
21-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(5) Select MAX rate, allow the rate of descent to stabilize and time the amount of change in cabin
pressure altitude for sixty seconds. Record this maximum down-rate on the worksheet.

(6) When the cabin altitude stabilizes and the rate-of-change indicator has returned to zero, record the
cabin pressure altitude from the test altimeter.

(7) Refer to the troubleshooting Charts in this section for a complete analysis of the data collected
during these pressurization check procedures.

2. CABIN LEAK RATE - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

A. Cabin Leak Rate Flightline Ground Test


This test uses engine bleed air to pressurize the cabin, bypasses the airplane’s pressurization controller
to guarantee an effective climb rate, and uses the airplane’s instrumentation to monitor the differential
pressure and cabin climb rate. A Chart is also provided to relate cabin climb rate to maximum allowable
leakage (Ref. Figure 201).

(1) Station one person outside the airplane during the test to prevent anyone from approaching the
airplane or trying to open a door or access panel.

WARNING: DO NOT under any circumstances, open the cabin door, cargo door, cockpit
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin has ANY pressure
applied during this test.
Always have at least two people inside the airplane during this test. Workers
inside the airplane during this test must be free of obesity, heart disorders,
respiratory or ear infections, and must be emotionally stable.

(2) Attach a sign on the outside of the cabin door that reads: DANGER - AIRPLANE IN PRESSURE
TEST.

(3) Obtain access to the orange 3/8-inch test cap on the cabin pressurization control plumbing under
the pedestal to bypass the pressurization controller and allow the pressurization system to
establish a climb rate even though the airplane may be sitting at sea level.

(4) Remove the cap and install a suitable adjustable needle valve. Start with the valve shut.

(5) Set the altimeter to 29.92 in. Hg. and note the Field Pressure Altitude (FPA). Use the FPA and the
graph in Figure 201 to establish the maximum climb rate equivalent to maximum allowable
leakage. Even though the airplane will not leave the ground, the climb rate will decrease as the
cabin is pressurized and will increase as the cabin leaks. It is the positive climb rate that can be
used as a measure of maximum allowable leakage when the cabin is pressurized to 4.3 psi
differential. In the example given on the graph in Figure 201, the FPA was 3800 feet, therefore, the
airplane instrumentation “feels” like it is at 3800 feet. The 3800 feet value is converted to the cabin
climb rate of 2210 ft/min. When the cabin is pressurized to a 4.3 psi differential, the climb rate
should not exceed 2210 ft/min; otherwise, the cabin is leaking more than is acceptable.

WARNING: DO NOT allow the cabin climb rate to exceed 1000 ft/min as discomfort will be
imposed on the pilots or maintenance personnel.

(6) Set the CABIN CONTROLLER rate selector knob to full clockwise position.

Page 204
Nov 1/09 21-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(7) Secure all windows, doors, escape hatches, and access panels that are part of the pressure
vessel.

CAUTION: DO NOT exceed engine operating limits.

(8) Start either engine and set N1 to 85%.

(9) Set the applicable bleed air switch to OPEN.

(10) Set the MODE CONTROL switch to AUTO.

(11) Set the CABIN PRESSURE switch on the pedestal to TEST.

(12) Slowly open the needle valve on the plumbing under the pedestal and use it to control the climb
rate and limit cabin pressure.

(13) Monitor the CABIN CLIMB indicator and establish a climb rate at or below 1000 ft/min.

(14) Monitor the CABIN ALT/DIFF PRESS indicator to establish a cabin differential of 4.3 psi.

NOTE: It may be necessary to increase engine N1 after the test has begun in order to reach 4.3
psi cabin differential. Adjust the needle valve after any engine N1 change to maintain the
rate of climb at or below 1000 ft/min.

(15) When 4.3 psi cabin differential is reached, set the bleed air switches to INST & ENVIR OFF.
Observe the indicated cabin rate of climb: the value will initially indicate a higher rate, stabilize,
then begin to decrease gradually. Record the cabin climb rate at the point where it begins to
decrease gradually. If the climb rate exceeds the limit determined in Step (5), the maximum
allowable leakage is excessive and should be corrected.

Equivalent Maximum Allowable Leakage

B. Maximum Differential Check


A maximum differential check may be performed at this time if the operator has any reason to question
the operation of the outflow valves.
WARNING: Carefully monitor the cabin differential pressure during the following checks to
ensure that it does not exceed the maximum allowable limit of 4.9 psi. If the limit is
exceeded, relieve cabin pressure by closing the needle valve or by shutting off the
bleed air valves.

(1) Close the needle valve installed in Section 2. A. Step (4). Set the bleed air switches to OPEN.
Slowly open the needle valve and establish a climb rate at or below 1000 ft/min. The outflow
valves should begin to limit maximum differential as it approaches 4.7 psi.

Page 206
Nov 1/09 21-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Remove the upper cover on the aft pressure bulkhead to gain access to the outflow valve
pneumatic plumbing.

(3) Disconnect and seal the atmospheric reference lines from the left outflow valve to evaluate the
maximum differential function of the right outflow valve.

(4) Record the cabin differential from the CABIN ALT/DIFF PRESS indicator. The operating tolerance
is 4.5 to 4.9 psi.

CAUTION: An outflow valve which fails to maintain cabin differential within the specified tolerance
must be replaced. These valves are not adjustable. Any attempt to adjust a valve will
void the warranty.

(5) Clear and connect the atmospheric reference lines of the left outflow valve.

(6) Disconnect and seal the atmospheric reference lines from the right outflow valve to evaluate the
maximum differential function of the left outflow valve.

(7) Record the cabin differential from the CABIN ALT/DIFF PRESS gage. The operating tolerance is
4.7 to 4.9 psi.

(8) Clear and connect the atmospheric reference lines of the right outflow valve.

(9) Replace the upper cover on the aft pressure bulkhead.

(10) Gradually decrease cabin pressure by closing the needle valve or shutting off the bleed air valves.

(11) Set the CABIN PRESSURE switch to DUMP.

(12) Watch the CABIN ALT/DIFF PRESS indicator and wait for it to read zero.

WARNING: DO NOT under any circumstances, open the cabin door, cargo door, cockpit
windows, escape hatches, or any access panels while the cabin has ANY
pressure applied during this test.

(13) Open the storm window in the cockpit to verify that the cabin pressure is completely bled off.

(14) Shut down the engines.

(15) Remove the needle valve installed at the test port. Replace and tighten the test port cap.

C. Cabin Leak Rate Ground Test Equipment


Test units used to ground test the cabin for pressurization leaks must include air inlet filters and a
pressure relief valve to prevent damage to the airplane. The typical test unit used to check the cabin
leak rate will consist of an air blower, a dry filter, pressure relief valve, aircraft pressure indicator, climb
rate indicator, air flow indicator, unit pressure indicator, unit air temperature indicator, unit air control/
dump valve, shop air regulator, and a shop air pressure indicator.
The method for interfacing the test equipment to the airplane will vary. Some test equipment splices into
the bleed air plumbing in the nacelles with a “Y” pressure hose or an optional single 2-inch pressure
hose attached to an adapter plate in the fuselage belly.

D. Cabin Leak Rate Hangar Ground Test


Carefully review the technical data provided with the test unit prior to initiating the test procedure.

(1) Connect ground power and set the MASTER SWITCH to ON.

(2) Disconnect the vacuum (relay) line (9) from the T-fitting (12) that connects outflow valves (10).
Cap the vacuum (relay) line (9) while leaving T-fitting (12) uncapped (Ref. Figure 205).

(3) Set both BLEED AIR VALVES switches to INST & ENVIR OFF to close the instrument pneumatic
shutoff valves.

(4) Three configurations are given to cover the different requirements for preparing the airplane for the
CABIN LEAK RATE HANGAR GROUND TEST.

(a) Configuration 1 - Use this configuration when using the TRONAIR Cabin Pressurization Test
Unit.

1 Remove the control cable access panel located just aft of the nose wheel well.

2 Install and seal the adapter plate K-1285 where the access panel was removed.

3 Connect the 2-inch pressure nose and sense line from the test unit to the adapter plate.

(b) Configuration 2 - Use this configuration when using test equipment that requires splicing into
the bleed air plumbing at each nacelle to pressurize the cabin.

1 Open each inboard nacelle cover.

2 Disconnect the bleed air hose (1) from the bleed air manifold fitting (2)
(Ref. Figure 202).

3 Attach the “Y” pressure hose from the test unit to the bleed air fitting (2) in each nacelle.

4 Set the MODE CONTROL switch to MAN. Hold the MAN TEMP in the INCR position
until the ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass valve are completely open, then
release it.

5 Set the rate control knob on the CABIN CONTROLLER to the full clockwise position.

6 Bypass the airplane’s circuitry to energize the solenoids of the pressure regulator/
shutoff valves and the precooler valves as follows:

a Remove the floorboards to gain access to the PCB rack (Items 7, 8 and 9)
(Ref. Figure 2, Chapter 6-50-00, Sheet 2 of 3).

b On aircraft with the A317 Bleed Air Control Module PCB, apply 28 vdc to pin 16 of
the edgeboard connector P517 and P518 and leave the airplane’s cables
connected to the PCB.

c On aircraft with the A121 Relay Panel, apply 28 vdc to pins 4, 8, 13 and 17 of the
edgeboard connector P275 and leave the airplane’s cables connected to the
PCB.

Page 211
21-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(c) Configuration 3 - Use this configuration when using test equipment with a 2-inch pressure
hose and an adapter plate.

1 Remove the control cable access panel located just aft of the nose wheelwell.

2 Install and seal the TK1794-5/939 adapter plate where the access panel was removed.

3 Open the right avionics compartment door.

4 Locate the AN fitting mounted in the pressure bulkhead immediately below the tube
assembly of the vacuum regulator.

5 Remove both caps on the fitting, one inside the cockpit and one inside the avionics
compartment.

6 Connect the sense line from the test unit to the fitting on the pressure bulkhead in the
avionics compartment to sense cabin pressure.

(5) Exit all personnel from the airplane.

(6) Close and latch the cabin door, cockpit storm windows, cargo door, escape hatches, and any
access panels that would contribute to cabin pressurization.

(7) Secure the cabin door with the safety net and secure the cargo door with two safety straps called
out under CABIN LEAK RATE GROUND TEST EQUIPMENT or use heavy strength nylon web
safety straps. The minimum breaking force of the straps should be 26,000 pounds. If making
structural repairs to the pressure vessel, attach a safety net large enough to cover the entire
pressure vessel.

WARNING: DO NOT under any circumstances, open the cabin door, cargo door, cockpit
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin has ANY pressure
applied during this test. DO NOT leave the test area during the test.

(8) Attach a sign on the outside of the cabin door that reads: DANGER - AIRPLANE IN PRESSURE
TEST

(9) Connect shop air to the test unit.

(10) Adjust the shop air on the test unit to 15 psi.

(11) Turn the test unit ON to start the blower.

(12) Open the pressure hose shutoff valve.

CAUTION: DO NOT exceed a 2000 ft/min climb rate, as damage to the airplane’s CABIN
CONTROLLER will result.
DO NOT pressurize the cabin more than 4.3 psi.

(13) Slowly open the airflow valve, monitor the climb rate and cabin pressure indicators. The climb rate
indicator will initially show a decent as the pressure increases. As the cabin pressure reaches 4.3
psi, the cabin will begin to leak and the climb indicator will show a climb.

Page 212
Nov 1/09 21-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(14) When the cabin pressure reaches 4.3 psi, decrease the air flow valve until the climb rate indicator
reads zero. At this point the amount of airflow into the cabin is equal to the amount of air escaping
the cabin.

NOTE: Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is the true value of cubic feet per minute taking
into consideration the effects of temperature and pressure on a gas, in this case, air.

(15) Read the air flow indicator and convert the reading to SCFM by using temperature and pressure
conversions supplied with the test unit technical data. If there are no conversion graphs provided
with the test unit, and the air flow indicator reads cubic feet per minute directly, use the Flow Rate
Correction Graph (Ref. Figure 204) to compensate for ambient temperature and pressure in the
cabin and obtain a SCFM reading.

(16) If the 4.3 psi is maintained with a maximum flow rate of 58 SCFM, the pressure vessel of the
airplane is satisfactorily air tight.

(17) If the flow rate is exceeded, listen for pressure leaks in the following areas:

NOTE: Leaks can be detected by sound and pinpointed by feel. It may be necessary to
attain maximum pressure, then shut down the test unit so that the sound of the
blower will not interfere with the detection of leaks in the pressure vessel.

(a) Nose wheel well.

(b) Hoses, plumbing, and wire bundles piercing the pressure vessel.

(c) Windshield seal and attachment screws.

(d) Seal around storm window.

(e) Seal around emergency exit hatches.

(f) Seals around cabin doors and cargo doors.

(g) Access panel seals.

(h) Outflow valve mounting and gaskets.

(i) Control cable seals in aft pressure bulkhead and in the fuselage adjacent to the inboard
wing.

(j) Fuselage belly drain plugs.

(k) Fuselage Skin laps.

(l) Antenna doublers and mounting areas.

(18) Refer to Chapter 91-00-00 for the proper materials to be used to pressure seal the airplane.

(19) Close the airflow valve on the test unit.

(20) Close the shutoff valve on the test unit.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING: DO NOT under any circumstances, open the cabin door, cargo door, cockpit
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin has ANY pressure
applied.

(21) Depressurize the airplane completely. On the TRONAIR Cabin Pressurization Unit, turn the air
control valve to full decrease position to dump pressure. When the rate-of-climb indicator is at the
horizontal position and the pressure gage reads zero, the cabin is depressurized.

(22) Disconnect the pressure hose(s) from the airplane.

(23) Disconnect the sense line from the airplane.

(24) Remove the safety net from the cabin door.

(25) Remove the safety straps from the cargo door.

(26) Connect all bleed air plumbing, if removed.

(27) Remove the test leads from the PCB’s, if installed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL
Bleed air from the engines enters the cabin ductwork through the ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass
valve. The ACM bypass valve begins opening first upon receiving a heat command from the cabin
temperature controller. When the ACM bypass valve is fully open, the intergral open limit switch in the valve
shunts the heat command from the cabin temperature controller to the ejector bypass valve, opening it. As
the cabin temperature controller starts to issue cool commands, the ejector bypass valve begins closing.
When the ejector bypass valve is fully closed, the cool command is shunted to the ACM bypass valve, closing
it.

1. PROCEDURES
Faults in the heating system will usually result in the faulty operation of other environmental systems as well.
Since the functions of the bypass valves are closely interfaced with the vapor cycle system and temperature
controls and dependent upon the proper function of the environmental bleed air system, troubleshooting of
the bypass valves is the primary concern.
The troubleshooting section will help the technician to differentiate between heating malfunctions which are
most likely to be traced to the faults in other environmental systems and heating malfunctions which are the
direct fault of one of the bypass valves (Ref. Charts in Figures 101 and 102).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Cabin cooling in the Model 1900 AIrliner Series airplanes is accomplished in part by the air cycle system. Air
cycle system cooling is augmented by cooling from the vapor cycle system. Automatic control of both
systems is accomplished through the cabin temperature controller and it’s associated secondary controls.
The intent of the chapter is to aid the technician in determining to which cooling system a fault can be traced
in the event of cooling failure. Due to the complex interplay between systems, it will not always be apparent
which system is malfunctioning.
The troubleshooting portion of the chapter will assist the technician in narrowing down faults and will direct
the technician to troubleshoot a particular system. 21-51-00 and 21-52-00 deal with troubleshooting and
maintenance of the air cycle system and the vapor cycle system respectively. 21-60-00 contains
troubleshooting and maintenance information for the temperature controlling system.

The following procedure can be used to evaluate the operational efficiency of the vapor cycle system. This
check should be performed only when the outside air temperature is above 50°F to insure that the 40°F OAT
cutout switch is closed.

2. VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM

A. Operational Check
(1) Place thermometers, known to be accurate, in a forward eyeball outlet and in an aft eyeball outlet.

(2) Start the right hand engine and increase the engine rpm to 62% N1. Do not turn on the
environmental bleed air on.

(3) Place the cabin temperature mode switch in MANUAL and hold the manual temperature control
switch in DECREASE for 60 seconds.

(4) Take the cabin air temperature reading near the floor of the cabin and after the temperature of the
air coming out of the eyeball outlets has stabilized, 5 to 10 minutes should be sufficient, record the
temperatures of the eyeball outlets air.

(5) Subtract each of the temperature readings at the eyeball outlets from the cabin air temperature
recorded earlier. A differential of at least 20°F at both eyeball outlets would be indicate of a
properly operating system.

AIR CYCLE SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The Model 1900 Series Airliner air cycle system consists of an air cycle machine (ACM), dual heat
exchanger, water collector, fog nozzle, inline filter assembly and a recirculating ejector. The amount of
cooling supplied by the air cycle system is controlled by varying the amounts of hot air which bypass portions
of the air cycle machine. Control over this bypass flow is a function of the temperature control system. The
heat exchanger and the air cycle machine are mounted together to form an integral unit (Refrigeration
Package).
Hot engine bleed air becomes partially cooled as it flows through the primary core section of the heat
exchanger. The primary cooled air enters the air cycle machine compressor which raises the air pressure and
temperature. The compressed air returns to the secondary core of the heat exchanger where the heat of
compression is removed. The bleed air then enters the turbine section of the air cycle machine where it is
cooled by expansion across the turbine nozzles. This expanding air also drives the air cycle machine turbine.
The driven turbine in turn drives the compressor rotor and the fan rotor.
The rotating air cycle machine fan draws cooling air from the ambient air inlet, located on the under side of
the left wing, through the cooling air passageways in both the primary and secondary cores of the heat
exchanger and discharges the cooling air overboard. The ambient air flowing through the primary and
secondary cores of the heat exchanger absorbs heat from the bleed air circuits (Ref. Figure 1).
As a result of cooling, moisture condensation occurs in the secondary core of the heat exchanger upstream of
the air cycle machine turbine section. The condensed moisture is collected by a water collector, routed to a
fog nozzle and is sprayed into the ambient air inlet of the secondary core of the heat exchanger where it
assists in cooling bleed air temperature by evaporation.
The recirculating ejector is a welded aluminum tube with two duct ends. The inlet duct accepts conditioned
bleed air from the turbine outlet of the air cycle machine. The outlet duct provides for the entry into the cabin
of the mixed conditioned and recirculated cabin air. An electrical heater surrounds the bleed air duct at the
turbine air inlet discouraging any ice accumulation inside the cold duct.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The vapor cycle cooling system utilizes refrigerant to provide cooling when the airplane is on the ground and
to provide supplemental cooling when the air cycle cooling system is performing at maximum levels. On
airplanes without Kit 129-5020 installed, use refrigerant R-12. On airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed, use
refrigerant R-134a. A compressor, a condenser with a 40,000-BTU capacity, and two 12,500-BTU
evaporators are utilized to cycle the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid state to provide cooling of the passenger
compartment and flight compartment. Adjustable outlets, located adjacent to the cabin armrests and in the
flight compartment overhead panel, distribute cool air produced by the vapor cycle cooling system.
The temperature control switches used to control the air cycle cooling system are used to control the vapor
cycle cooling system. The cabin temperature mode switch, the cabin temperature selector, and the manual
temperature control switch are located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. Refer to 21-60-00 for further
information on the operation of the temperature controls.
The compressor is equipped with an electric clutch and a relief valve and is installed in the accessory gear
box section of the RH engine. The discharge line of the compressor is connected to the condenser, located
adjacent to its blower in the RH inboard wing. The receiver-dryer removes moisture from the refrigerant and is
located under the center aisle floor in line with the third cabin window. The two evaporators and the
corresponding blowers are located under the center aisle floorboards. The forward evaporator and blower are
in line with the first cabin window and the aft evaporator and blower are in line with the sixth cabin window.
The blowers distribute cool air to the adjustable outlets in the cabin and flight compartment. Refer to 21-20-00
for further information on the blowers and vapor cycle cool air distribution. A sight gage, an overpressure
cutout switch and an underpressure cutout switch, and service valves are installed in the refrigerant lines
located in a service box that is accessible through a door in the underside of the fuselage. The service box is
in line with the wing flaps. Reset switches for the pressure cutout switches are located in the service box
(Ref. Figure 1).
When the low ambient temperature limit switch is closed and RH engine speed exceeds 62% N1, the vapor
cycle cooling system can be activated by the air cycle cooling system (Ref. Figure 2). The limit switch will be
closed when ambient temperature, as sensed in the condenser inlet, is high enough to allow cooling of the
airplane cabin (50°F ± 5°). When the ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass valve are closed and the low
ambient switch is closed, the cool coil of the heat-cool command relay is energized, and power is supplied to
the cool command input of the N1 speed sensor PCB. The compressor clutch is then allowed to engage 10
seconds after the RH engine speed increases above 62% N1. When the RH landing gear downlock switch is
closed (the airplane is on the ground), a ground circuit is completed and energizes the coil of the condenser
blower relay. Power is then supplied to the condenser blower and the blower moves air across the condenser
and out the vents in the wing underside. When the airplane is in flight and the downlock switch is not closed
(the landing gear is up), the condenser is cooled by the flow of ram air that enters through the inlet in the RH
wing leading edge. When the cabin has been cooled to a preset temperature and the ACM bypass valve
reaches full open, the cool coil of the heat-cool command relay is de-energized and the heat coil of the relay
is energized. Power is then removed from the compressor clutch and it disengages.
If the N1 speed of the RH engine falls below 62% while the vapor cycle cooling system is operating, the
annunciator light labeled AIR COND N1 LOW (green) will illuminate, power will be removed from the
compressor clutch and it will disengage (Ref. Figure 2). This compressor cutout avoids overloading the
engine when it is operating at low speeds. If RH engine speed is above 62% N1 but ambient temperature falls
below 30°F ± 5°, the limit switch in the condenser inlet will open and the clutch will disengage to prevent icing
of the system components.

Page 1
21-52-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The condenser blower relay is located in the RH nacelle. The heat-cool command relay is located under the
cabin floorboards immediately aft of the main wing spar. The N1 speed sensor is located under the cabin
floorboards in line with the second cabin window. Refer to Chapter 39-20-00 for further information on the
relays and the N1 speed sensor PCB. Refer to 21-40-00 for further information on the ACM bypass valve and
the ejector bypass valve.
When the electric clutch on the compressor is engaged, the refrigerant is compressed into a high pressure,
high temperature gas. As this gas is pumped through the condenser, cooling air is vented across the
condenser and removes heat from the gas, condensing it into a liquid state (Ref. Figure 1). This liquid
refrigerant passes through the receiver-dryer where moisture and impurities are removed. The refrigerant is
then metered by the thermostatic expansion valves (TEV) and flows into the evaporators. Heat from
recirculating cabin air is absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporators and the liquid refrigerant evaporates
into a gas. Vent blowers draw the recirculating air through the coils in the forward and aft evaporator
assemblies. This gas is returned to the compressor where it is compressed into the higher pressure
discharge gas.

A. Hot Gas Bypass Valves


A temperature sensing switch is installed on the outlet line of each evaporator. If the temperature of the
refrigerant outlet line is 33°F or below, the switch opens a solenoid valve in a hot gas line containing
discharge gas from the compressor. This hot gas bypasses the condenser and the expansion valves
and flows directly into the evaporator to prevent moisture from freezing on the evaporator. When the
temperature in the evaporator outlet line reaches 45°F, the thermoswitch closes the hot gas bypass
valve and refrigerant flow is returned to its normal flow through the condenser and the expansion
valves.

B. Pressure Cutout Switches


If the discharge pressure in the system increases beyond a safe limit, the overpressure cutout switch
will open, removing power from the compressor clutch. If the suction pressure in the refrigerant line falls
below a preset limit, the underpressure cutout switch will close and cause the thermal relay to open.
When the thermal relay opens, power is removed from the compressor clutch. If power has been
removed from the clutch by an open cutout switch, the switch must be reset to allow the compressor
clutch to engage. The reset switches are located in the service box in the underside of the fuselage.

C. Vent Blowers
The vent blowers are controlled by the vent blower switch and the cabin temperature mode switch. Both
switches are located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. The blowers will operate in the high speed or the
low speed when the cabin temperature mode switch is set to each position. When the blower switch is
set to AUTO, the vent blowers will operate in the low speed when the mode switch is set to each
position except OFF. The control of these blowers is independent of all other components of the
environmental system. Refer to 21-20-00 for further information on the blowers and their relays.

D. Pressure Relief Valve


A pressure relief valve is installed on the discharge service port of the compressor to protect the
compressor from an overpressure condition. The valve relieves pressure at 450 psig.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. PROCEDURES

A. Precautionary Service Procedures


Before attempting maintenance that requires opening of refrigeration lines or compressor fittings,
maintenance personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the pertinent instructions. These instructions
should be followed carefully to ensure that the system functions properly. If moisture is allowed to enter
refrigerant lines, ice can form in the lines and hydrofluoric acid can form, causing damage to system
components. Contamination of the system with dirt can cause blockage and damaging wear in the
compressor.
All replacement subassemblies for the vapor cycle system are sealed and dehydrated. They should
remain sealed until immediately prior to making connections. Refrigerant lines and other components
should be at room temperature before uncapping to prevent the condensation of moisture from entering
the system. If a connection is not made immediately after uncapping a component, it should not remain
unsealed for more than 15 minutes. If the time period is longer, reseal the connections.
New compressors are provided with four ounces of Oil (117, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and are
charged with a mixture of refrigerant (116, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and dry nitrogen to provide an
internal pressure that is slightly above atmospheric pressure. For airplanes without Kit 129-5020
installed, the oil must be drained from the new compressor and replaced with four ounces of
500-viscosity oil (70, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and recharged with refrigerant (71, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). For airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed, the new compressors do not require exchanging
the oil and refrigerant.
Care should be taken to prevent damage to all fittings and connections. Minute damage to a connection
could cause it to leak. Any fittings contaminated with grease or dirt should be cleaned with a cloth
dampened with alcohol. Do not use a chlorinated solvent such as trichloroethylene as a cleaning agent
because it adds contaminants. If dirt, grease or moisture inside lines cannot be removed, the line must
be replaced. On airplanes without Kit 129-5020 installed, use compressor oil (70, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). On airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed, use air conditioning oil (117, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). Apply a small amount of clean refrigeration oil (as previously noted) to all line connections
and dip packings in the oil to help make a leak-resistant connection.

B. Vapor Cycle System Maintenance Notes


WARNING: The vapor cycle system is a high pressure system. Before disconnecting a
refrigerant line, depressurize the system with a recycle servicing unit, then purge
the entire system with a vacuum pump operating at a 125-micron level.
A face shield should be worn when performing maintenance on the lines because
refrigerant coming in contact with the eyes can cause loss of sight. Also wear
gloves and avoid breathing any vapors.
Do not smoke when servicing the system because the refrigerant converts into a
highly toxic gas when exposed to an open flame.

Page 201
21-52-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: On airplanes without Kit 129-5020 installed, use only air conditioning refrigerant
(71, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in this system. On airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed,
use only refrigerant (116, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in this system. All other refrigerants,
particularly those containing methyl chloride, will cause deterioration of the aluminum
components.
Insufficient torque can result in loose joints and excessive torque can result in deformed
connecting parts. Either condition can result in refrigerant leakage.
NOTE: Due to air quality-control regulations being enacted in the United States, R-12 and R-134a
refrigerant cannot be vented into the atmosphere. When performing maintenance on the vapor
cycle system where refrigerant R-12 can escape from the system, evacuate the system with a
recovery or recycle servicing unit that will salvage the refrigerant.
For information on connecting aluminum fittings in the system, refer to Table 5 in Chapter
91-00-00.
The receiver-dryer should be the last component connected. It should be connected last to
ensure maximum protection of the vapor cycle system against moisture.

A reduction of system cooling ability and declining pressures, significantly below nominal pressures
shown on the graphs may be an indication of leakage (Ref. Figures 201 and 202).
For the R-12 system only, the continual presence of bubbles in the refrigerant may indicate a partial loss
of refrigerant. The sight glass should be checked during system operation at maximum available
ambient and cabin temperatures. The sight glass is located in a service box in the underside of the
fuselage in line with the flaps. Streams of bubbles or foam seen in the glass indicate the refrigerant
quantity is low. Colored fluid in the sight glass may indicate the system contains a leak detector dye
additive.
NOTE: Do not use bubbles in the sight glass as an indication of undercharge with R-134a refrigerant.
A system fully charged with R-134a may still exhibit bubbles or cloudiness in the sight glass.
Use the pressure graph as an indication of proper charge.

Page 202
Nov 1/13 21-52-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

If a connection does not seal by the normal torque procedures, the use of soft flare gaskets in
the flare fitting is permissible. If a leak occurs at a flare fitting containing a soft seal,
replacement of the fitting is recommended.
Copper gaskets should be used in copper and brass fittings and aluminum gaskets should be
used in aluminum fittings. Minor leakage of less than 2 ounces per year is permissible at the
compressor shaft seal.
If a loss of refrigerant is suspected, the system plumbing should be inspected to determine the source of
the leak. Large leaks can be located by the appearance of oily spots where oil has been carried out by
escaping refrigerant. Smaller leaks can be detected by the following tests:

D. Detergent Test
The system must contain a partial charge in order to detect leaks. The detergent test is accomplished by
applying soap solution to an area suspected of leaking. Bubbles may form if leaks are present.

E. Electronic Detector Test


An electronic detector includes a probe that is moved along the plumbing to detect escaping refrigerant.
The probe should be held below the line because refrigerant is heavier than air. The probe should be
capable of detecting leaks equal to 1/2 ounce per year and will emit a flashing light or a high-pitched
sound when escaping refrigerant is detected.

F. Red Leak Detector Dye Additive


NOTE: Do not inject red leak detector dye into a system containing Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye.
R-12 systems (Airplanes without Kit 129-5020 Installed)
It is permissible to add 1/4 ounce of leak detector dye (78, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for every 10
ounces of oil into the low pressure service port. A red film will appear in the area where leaks are
present.
R-134a systems (Airplanes with Kit 129-5020 Installed)
It is permissible to add 1/4 ounce of leak detector dye (132, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for every 10
ounces of oil into the low pressure service port. A red film will appear in the area where leaks are
present.

G. Yellow/Green Leak Detector Dye Additive (Preferred)


Check the quantity of oil contained in the see-thru oil sump and add oil as required to maintain a full
sump. Manufacturer's recommendation for lubricating oil to be used in the air cycle machine is Exxon
2389 or any oil conforming to MIL-L-7808 (72, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
CAUTION: For installation of the Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye into a system containing some other
type of dye already, perform the CLEANING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM procedures
prior to installing the Fluoro-Lite dye.
Other prepackaged forms of Fluoro-Lite dye are available. However, these other forms of
dye may not be of the same concentration. Contact your supplier for the proper quantity to
use.

R-12 SYSTEMS (Airplanes without Kit 129-5020 Installed)


A leak detector dye (130, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be added by either premixing with the oil (70,
Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or directly inserting it slowly into the low pressure service port by an injector
(2, Table 201, 21-52-00). Add 1/4 ounce of dye for every 10 ounces of oil in the system. For leak
inspection, scan all fittings and components using a hand-held ultraviolet or UV/blue lamp (3, Table 201,
21-52-00). All exposed leaks will appear bright yellow/green.
R-134a systems (Airplanes with Kit 129-5020 Installed)
A leak detector dye (129, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be added by either premixing with the oil
(117, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or directly inserting it slowly into the low pressure service port by an
injector (1, Table 201, 21-52-00). Add 1/4 ounce of dye for every 10 ounces of oil in the system. For leak
inspection, scan all fittings and components using a hand-held ultraviolet or UV/blue lamp (3, Table 201,
21-52-00). All exposed leaks will appear bright yellow/green.

H. Vapor Cycle System Component Repair/Replacement


If a component is being repaired or replaced that, when removed, causes loss of pressurization,
complete the following Steps:

(1) Depressurize the system as needed. Perform the DEPRESSURIZING THE VAPOR CYCLE
SYSTEM procedure.

(2) Repair/replace components as needed.

NOTE: The receiver-dryer should be the last component connected. It should be connected last to
ensure maximum protection of the vapor cycle system against moisture.

(3) Install a new receiver-dryer (Ref. 21-52-04, RECEIVER-DRYER INSTALLATION).

(4) Restore any recovered oil or an equal amount of fresh oil to the system.

(5) Clean all exposed oil. Use dye cleaner/remover (131, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for systems
containing a leak detector dye additive. Scan with a UV lamp (3, Table 201, 21-52-00) to check for
any remaining dye residue.

(6) Perform the EVACUATING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM procedure.

(7) Perform the CHARGING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM procedure.

I. Compressor Oil Check


If a refrigerant leak or a compressor oil leak has occurred, if it is suspected that damage has occurred to
the compressor, or if the vapor cycle system has been recharged, the oil level should be checked as
follows:

(1) Set the right engine speed to 65% N1 and set the temperature mode and control switches to
operate the charged system at maximum cooling levels for at least 10 minutes.

(2) Turn off the refrigerant system, shutdown the engine, and evacuate the system with a
recycle/recovery servicing unit (this salvages the refrigerant for future use).

Page 204
Nov 1/13 21-52-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) When the pressure is between 0 and 5 psi, remove the oil fill plug from the compressor and check
the oil level by inserting a rod into the compressor crankcase. It may be necessary to rotate the
compressor pulley to ensure that the rod bottoms on the crankcase and not on the compressor
shaft. The level should be between 3 and 3.5 inches below the top of the compressor case.

(4) On airplanes without Kit 129-5020 installed, add compressor oil, (70, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00),
if necessary, to obtain the correct level. On airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed, add refrigerant oil
(117, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) if necessary to obtain the correct level.

New compressors are provided with four ounces of oil (117, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and are
charged with a mixture of refrigerant (116, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and dry nitrogen to provide
an internal pressure that is slightly above atmospheric pressure. For airplanes without Kit
129-5020 installed, the oil must be drained from the new compressor and replaced with
compressor oil (70, Table Chapter 91-00-00) and recharged with refrigerant (71, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). For airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed, the new compressors do not require
exchanging the oil and refrigerant.
NOTE: If the compressor is replaced, drain the old compressor and measure the amount of oil
collected. Add one ounce to this measurement to determine the amount of new oil to add
to the new compressor after the oil is drained from the new compressor. This method
maintains the same amount of oil in the system. Additional oil may be needed to replace
oil lost through evacuation, leakage or component replacement.

J. Depressurizing the Vapor Cycle System


(1) Connect a servicing unit that recovers and recycles the refrigerant to the service valves and open
the low pressure valve (Ref. Figure 201).

(2) When the pressure is depleted, open the high pressure valve and operate the vacuum pump to
completely remove the refrigerant from the system.

(3) After the system is depressurized, check the oil level in the compressor. Refer to COMPRESSOR
OIL CHECK procedure.

K. Evacuating the Vapor Cycle System


A service unit should be equipped with a vacuum pump capable of obtaining an absolute pressure of
125 microns or less and a pressure gage capable of indicating an absolute pressure of 125 microns or
less. Evacuate the system as follows:

(1) Depressurize the system with a recycle/recovery servicing unit.

(2) Attach the suction service hose to the suction service valve. The service valves are located in a
service box in the underside of the fuselage (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Start the vacuum pump, gradually opening the vacuum valve until it is fully open.

(4) Loosen the ballast valve on the vacuum pump slightly until the pressure is approximately 200
microns, then close the valve.

(5) The system should be evacuated to 125 microns or less. This pump-down procedure should
require no more than four hours if there are no leaks in the system.

L. Cleaning the Vapor Cycle System


(1) Remove and discard the receiver-dryer (Ref. 21-52-04, RECEIVER-DRYER REMOVAL).

(2) Remove the compressor (Ref. 21-52-02, COMPRESSOR REMOVAL).

NOTE: If the compressor is damaged, discard it. If the compressor is being reused, set it aside to
drain the oil while the plumbing and coils are being flushed.
If the system has been contaminated by a damaged compressor or receiver-dryer, the
coils may need to be removed and flushed individually.
CAUTION: Do not use solvent. It will cause contamination of the refrigerant oil.

(3) Remove the two expansion valves. The hot gas bypass valves must be removed or electrically
held open during flushing.

(4) Flush the system using air conditioning system cleaner (77, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and dry
nitrogen on airplanes without Kit 129-5020 installed. Use AC Flush Fluid (118, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) and dry nitrogen to clean the refrigerant system on airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed.

(5) Restore both expansion valves and install or close the hot gas bypass valves.

(6) Install the compressor (Ref. 21-52-02, COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION). If the existing
compressor is being installed, insert 4 ounces of the appropriate oil for your system. New
compressors already contain 4 ounces of oil in them.

(7) Install a new receiver-dryer (Ref. 21-52-04, RECEIVER-DRYER INSTALLATION).

(8) Insert 27 ounces of oil into the high pressure plumbing, preferably at the nacelle firewall.

(9) Perform the EVACUATING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM procedure.

(10) Perform the CHARGING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM procedure.

M. Charging the Vapor Cycle System (Airplanes without Kit 129-5020)


CAUTION: Use only R-12 refrigerant (71, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to charge the air-conditioning
system.
The system should be charged when:

(1) There are bubbles in the refrigerant as seen through the sight glass. If the OAT is above 75°F, the
presence of bubbles in the refrigerant indicates that the refrigerant quantity is low.

NOTE: The presence of bubbles if the OAT is below 75° is not an indication that the refrigerant
quantity is low. Refer to the pressure graph as an indication of proper charge (Ref. Figure
202).

(2) Leaks have been detected in the system.

(3) Air has entered the system.

(4) Components that carry refrigerant have been replaced.

The vapor cycle system should be serviced by a qualified air conditioning service mechanic. Use
only R-12 air conditioning refrigerant (71, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Refrigerant service valves
are located in the underside of the fuselage in a service box that is in line with the flaps. It is
recommended that the service unit used for charging be equipped with a supply cylinder heated to
maintain sufficient pressure to force refrigerant into the system without operating the compressor.
If a heated cylinder is not available, the system may be charged without operating the compressor
by allowing refrigerant to flow into the system until equilibrium pressure is reached. After
equilibrium pressure is reached, allow the compressor to engage with the temperature mode
switch set to MAN and the RH engine operating at approximately 65 percent N1. Add refrigerant
vapor to the suction side of the system.
Refrigerant should be added in vapor form to prevent compressor damage. Operate the
compressor until no bubbles are seen in the sight glass then add approximately 8 ounces of
additional refrigerant. Add the refrigerant to the suction port of the system until the pressures
approach the pressures shown on the pressure graph (Ref. Figure 202). The total capacity of the
vapor cycle system is 85 ounces of R-12 refrigerant. The system requires a total oil charge of 31
ounces (70, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

N. Charging the Vapor Cycle System (Airplanes with Kit 129-5020)


CAUTION: Use only R-134a refrigerant (116, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to charge the air-conditioning
system.
The system should be charged when:

(1) A reduction in cooling system ability and a decline in system pressures indicates that the
refrigerant quantity is low.

(2) Leaks have been detected in the system.

(3) Air has entered the system.

(4) Components that carry refrigerant have been replaced.

Page 208
Nov 1/13 21-52-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The vapor cycle system should be serviced by a qualified air conditioning service mechanic.
Refrigerant service valves are located in the underside of the fuselage in a service box that is in
line with the flaps. It is recommended that the service unit used for charging be equipped with a
supply cylinder heated to maintain sufficient pressure to force refrigerant into the system without
operating the compressor. If a heated cylinder is not available, the system may be charged without
operating the compressor by allowing refrigerant to flow into the system until equilibrium pressure
is reached. After equilibrium pressure is reached, allow the compressor to engage with the
temperature mode switch set to MAN and the RH engine operating at approximately 65% N1. Add
refrigerant vapor to the suction side of the system.
Refrigerant should be added in vapor form to prevent compressor damage. Add the refrigerant to
the suction port of the system until the pressures approach the pressures shown on the pressure
graph (Ref. Figure 203). The total capacity of the vapor cycle system is 75 ounces of refrigerant
R-134a. The system requires a total oil charge of 31 ounces (117, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

O. Vapor Cycle System Operational Check


NOTE: Operating the air-conditioning system is not possible when the outside air temperature is
below 50°F. The system may be serviced when the outside air temperature is below 50°F, but
must be disabled by pulling the compressor clutch circuit breaker (CB206), placing a placard
near the cabin temperature controls, and making an appropriate logbook entry. Once the
outside air temperature is above 50°F, the operational check may be performed and the
system returned to service.
This procedure can be used to evaluate the operational efficiency of the vapor cycle system. This check
should be performed only when the outside air temperature is above 50°F to insure that the 40°F OAT
limit switch is closed.

(1) Place thermometers, known to be accurate, in a forward cool air outlet and in an aft cool air outlet.

(2) Start the right engine and increase the engine rpm to 65% N1. Do not turn the environmental bleed
air on.

(3) Place the cabin temperature mode switch in MAN and hold the manual temperature control switch
in DECR for 60 seconds. Place the blower switch in HI.

(4) Take a cabin air temperature reading near the floor of the cabin, and after the temperature of the
air coming out of the cool air outlets has stabilized (5 to 10 minutes should be sufficient), record
the temperatures of the cool air outlet air.

(5) Subtract each of the temperature readings at the cool air outlets from the cabin air temperature
recorded earlier. A differential of at least 20°F at both cool air outlets would be indicative of a
properly operating vapor cycle system.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The temperature of the cabin can be automatically controlled by presetting the temperature selector
potentiometer to the desired temperature and setting the mode control switch to AUTO. The cabin
temperature controller then sends the appropriate “heat” or “cool” command to the air cycle machine bypass
valve and the ejector bypass valve. A dual-element temperature sensor installed in the conditioned bleed air
main duct completes the Wheatstone Bridge resistance circuitry of the cabin temperature controller. When
the cabin temperature falls, the Wheatstone Bridge becomes unbalanced and current flows from the heat
command output of the cabin temperature controller. The ACM bypass valve and the ejector bypass valve
receive the command and open to allow more bleed air to enter the conditioned bleed air ducts
(Ref. Figure 1). The bypass valves modulate the amount of bleed air flow in automatic response to the
requirements indicated by the changing resistance of the duct temperature sensors and the temperature
sensor located in the cabin temperature controller. The duct temperature sensors are installed in the
conditioned bleed air main duct in line with the third cabin window. The solid-state temperature controller is
installed under the headliner in line with the fifth cabin window.
The temperature of environmental air can be controlled manually by setting the mode control switch to MAN
and holding the manual temperature control switch to the INCR or the DECR positions. When the manual
control switch is set to INCR or DECR, power is supplied through the CABIN TEMP CONTROL circuit
breaker, the mode switch and the manual switch to the appropriate bypass valve. When the switch is set to
INCR, the ACM bypass valve opens, allowing warm bleed air to flow through the floor outlets. The ejector
bypass valve may open if the ACM bypass valve has opened completely and the manual temperature control
switch is held in the INCR position. The bypass valves close, as required, to allow the air cycle system to cool
the bleed air when the manual switch is set to DECR. If the manual temperature control switch is held in the
DECR position, the ejector bypass valve will close completely. When the ejector bypass valve is closed, the
ACM bypass valve will begin to close to direct air through the air cycle machine for cooling of the cabin.
All environmental temperature control switches and the cabin air temperature indicator are located on the
copilot's inboard subpanel.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Resistance Check
If the temperature control of the heating and cooling systems is responding to manual control but
is not responding to automatic control, the fault may be found in the temperature sensing elements
or in the cabin temperature controller. It is suggested that the sensing elements be tested before
testing the controller because the controller is more reliable.
Two sensing elements are installed downstream of the manual valve in the conditioned bleed air
main duct. The elements are in line with the third cabin window.
One of the elements has been thermally insulated to provide a response that lags behind the
response of the non-insulated element. The lag in response prevents uncomfortably wide
temperature ranges that would be caused by the overshoot of cabin heating.
The temperature sensing elements can be checked as follows:
NOTE: Refer to Figure 201 for a graph showing the resistance values of the duct temperature
sensors. In order for the resistance measurements of the elements to comply with the
readings shown on the graph, it is important that the temperature at the location of the
elements be determined accurately.

(1) Remove the headliner panel in line with the fifth cabin window to gain access to the electrical
connector on the temperature controller.

(2) Disconnect the electrical connector from the cabin temperature controller.

(3) Using the graph, determine the correct resistance corresponding to the temperature measurement
taken at the element location. Remove the RH floorboard in line with the third cabin window and
disconnect the duct adjacent to the temperature sensors to take temperature readings.

(4) Using a high precision ohmmeter, measure the resistance between pins 8 and 11 on the connector
of the cabin temperature controller. This resistance should correspond to the resistance indicated
on the line AB on the graph. The resistance measured between pins 11 and 12 on the controller
should correspond to the line CD on the graph. Line AB represents the thermally lagged element.

(5) If the measured resistance from a sensing element varies from the resistance shown on the graph
by more than 1%, the elements should be replaced.

(6) If the operation of the heating and cooling systems is abnormal or intermittent when the
temperature mode switch is set to AUTO, the internal connections of the sensing elements may be
loose. An intermittent fault in the elements can be detected as follows:

(a) Operate the LH engine of the airplane. Place the temperature mode switch in the MAN
position. Hold the manual temperature control switch in the INCR position for 60 seconds.

(b) Monitor the resistive response of the element between pins 11 and 12 of the controller while
the temperature is increasing. If the resistance fluctuates or increases above 200 ohms, then
the element may have an intermittent fault.

Page 201
21-60-01 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(c) Monitor the resistive response of the element between pins 8 and 11. Hold the manual
temperature control switch in the DECR position for 60 seconds. Any fluctuations in the
resistance readings may indicate a fault in the sensing elements or in the element
connections.

(7) If the elements show no indication of incorrect resistance and the heating and cooling systems do
not respond to automatic control, the cabin temperature controller should be tested to determine if
the controller is defective.

B. Removal
(1) Remove the RH carpet and floorboards in line with the third cabin window to gain access to the
sensors installed on the conditioned bleed air main duct.

(2) Disconnect the electrical connector from the duct temperature sensor. Remove the attaching
screws and the cabin temperature sensor from the main duct.

(3) Remove the attaching screws and the cabin temperature sensor from the main duct.

C. Installation
(1) Install the temperature sensor and secure with the attaching screws.

(2) Install the electrical connector on the sensor.

(3) Install the floorboards and carpet.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Removal
(1) Remove the headliner panel in line with the fifth cabin window.

(2) Remove the attaching screws from the controller and remove the controller sufficiently to gain
access to the electrical connector on the controller (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Remove the electrical connector from the controller.

B. Installation
(1) Install the electrical connector on the controller receptacle (Ref. Figure 201).

(2) Install the controller on the mounting bracket and secure with the attaching screws.

(3) Install the headliner panel to cover the controller.

C. Functional Test
If a fault in the operation of the automatic mode of the heating or cooling systems cannot be found in the
duct sensing elements, the cabin temperature controller should be tested.
The temperature at the inlet of the controller should be between 65°F and 85°F to perform the test
procedures. Refer to Figure 202 for a test circuit that can be used to test the controller.

D. Test Equipment
(1) A 28 vdc, 2-amp power supply that is accurate within 1%.

(2) Two 22-ohm, 50-watt resistors (R1 and R2).

(3) A 100-ohm potentiometer with a direct reading dial (TR1).

(4) Two 100-ohm (± 1%) potentiometers wired in series with two 100-ohm step decades (TR2 and
TR3).

(5) Two 28 vdc, 40-ma, MS25231-1819 lamps or equivalent (DS1 and DS2).

(6) An air temperature indicator (M1) equivalent to the airplane indicator.

(7) Connectors that mate with the cabin temperature controller and the air temperature gage. Refer to
the Wiring Diagram Manual for the appropriate part numbers.

E. Test Procedure
(1) Remove the headliner panel immediately aft of the fifth cabin window to gain access to the
controller.

Page 201
21-60-02 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Connect a power supply and test circuit to the cabin temperature controller.

(3) Set TR2 and TR3 (potentiometers) to 118 ohms and turn on the power supply to apply 28 vdc to
the controller. Adjust TR1 until DS1 and DS2 are not illuminated. The temperature gage should
indicate ambient temperature.

(4) Decrease the resistance on TR1 until DS2 begins to illuminate in pulses, then decrease the
resistance until DS2 illuminates continuously.

(5) Increase the resistance on TR1 until DS1 begins to pulse, then increase the resistance until the
lamp is illuminated continuously. Adjust the resistance for TR1 until DS1 and DS2 are not
illuminated.

(6) Set TR1 to 0 ohms and TR3 to 155 ohms; DS2 should illuminate continuously.

(7) Increase TR2 until DS1 pulses; TR2 should be 176 ohms ±2. Continue to decrease the resistance
at TR2; DS1 should illuminate continuously.

(8) Set TR1 to 2.5 ohms, TR3 to 85 ohms, and TR2 to 100; DS1 should illuminate continuously.
Decrease TR2 until DS2 pulses; the resistance at TR2 should be 86.9 ohms ± 7. DS2 should
illuminate continuously when continuing to decrease the resistance at TR2.

(9) Shut off the power supply and disconnect the test circuit from the temperature controller.

(10) Ensure that the air flow across the controller is moving towards the fan (Ref. Figure 202).

If the controller does not perform as described above, the controller may be assumed to be
defective and must be replaced.

F. Indicator Calibration
(1) Connect a 28 vdc auxiliary power unit to the airplane.

(2) Turn on the external power switch and place the cabin environmental mode selector switch in
AUTO.

(3) Remove the cover from the controller in the overhead panel.

(4) Hold a thermometer, calibrated from 25°F to 125°F, close to the aft end of the controller for two
minutes.

(5) The temperature indicator located on the instrument panel should read within 2° of the
thermometer reading at the controller.

(6) Should the indicator reading be outside acceptable limits, remove the grey sealer from the small
round adjusting potentiometer.

(7) Using a small blade screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer slowly until the temperature indicator
agrees with the thermometer.

(8) Reseal the potentiometer with sealer (123, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(9) Install the cover on the controller and return the airplane to service.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The Sperry SPZ-2000 autopilot is certified for use in the Model 1900 Series Airliner. This is an integrated
flight control system consisting of a full three-axis autopilot and flight director system. A combination of
sensors, electrical servos, guidance displays, mode selectors, and computers perform the necessary flight
computations. The system provides either full autopilot control of the airplane with simultaneous flight director
monitoring, or manual control response to flight director display steering commands. The yaw axis may be
engaged independently of roll and pitch for use as a yaw damper. The Sperry SPZ-2000 uses the Beech trim
and servo system.
NOTE: Improper servo cable tension may cause unstable or erratic response to autopilot signals.

A. Aileron Servo
The aileron servo is mounted beneath the center floorboard forward of the rear spar. The cables from
the servo capstan are connected to the aileron quadrant. When the autopilot is engaged, the servo
rotates causing aileron deflection dependent on the direction of servo rotation.

B. Rudder Servo
The rudder servo is located in the aft section of the airplane. One cable is wrapped around the capstan
and connected to the main rudder cable. The other cable is connected to the autopilot servo quadrant.
When the autopilot is engaged, the servo rotates in response to autopilot signals, causing rudder
deflection dependent on the direction of servo rotation.

C. Elevator Servo
The elevator servo is located next to the rudder servo in the aft section of the airplane. The cables
wrapped around the servo capstan are connected to the main elevator control cables. When the
autopilot is engaged, the servo rotates, causing elevator deflection dependent on direction of servo
rotation.

(6) Perform a ramp check of the system associated with the component installed.

C. Bonding Procedures
NOTE: The pattern and efficiency of an antenna is dependent upon a low impedance (Z) path to the
ground plane. It is imperative that a uniform resistance and capacitance be maintained
between the contacting surface of the antenna and the surface on which it is mounted. The
mating surface between the antenna and the base must be smooth and contoured to match,
keeping the mating surfaces in actual contact.

(1) Determine the contact area of the antenna being mounted.

(2) Using trichloroethane (21, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) clean all grease, oil and other
nonconductive films from the contact surfaces of the antenna, spacers and the mounting surface
of the fuselage.

WARNING: Use trichloroethane solution only in an adequately ventilated area.

(3) Clean nonsoluble films from the contacting surfaces by sanding and polishing with fine garnet
paper or silicon carbide, taking care not to remove excessive metal. Small areas on a aluminum
surface may be cleaned with a stainless steel wire brush. The area should then be brushed clean
and wiped with trichloroethane (21, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and a clean cloth.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Do not use emery or iron oxide paper/cloth in removing nonsoluble films from the
contact area.

(4) Apply Alodine 1200 (88, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the area with a clean pad, sponge, or
equivalent applicator. Keep the area wet for 5 minutes or until film develops.

WARNING: Use rubber gloves when handling Alodine.

(5) Using low pressure water, gently wash the area to neutralize and remove the Alodine coating.

(6) Allow the area to thoroughly dry for a maximum of one hour prior to installation of the mating parts.
If the drying time exceeds one hour, retouch the area with Alodine and neutralize with water.

(7) Attach the coaxial cable to the antenna. Any excess coaxial cable should be stored inside the
airplane. Apply sealer (166, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) around the coaxial cable where it passes
through the skin.

CAUTION: Do not alter the length of any coaxial cable. A change in length could affect system
operation.

(8) Install the antenna with the attaching screws. All screws should be uniformly torqued.

NOTE: If the screws are not uniformly torqued, the radiation pattern of the antenna may be
affected.

(9) Seal around the entire periphery of the antenna with sealer (166, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(10) Touch up the painted area around the antenna as required.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. STATIC DISCHARGERS
A static charge may build up on the surface of the airplane while in flight. This electrical charge, if retained,
can cause interference in radio and avionics equipment operation. It is also dangerous to personnel
disembarking after landing and to personnel servicing the airplane. Static dischargers keep the buildup of
static charge at a minimum by continuously releasing it back into the atmosphere. Consequently, static
dischargers are installed on the trailing edge of the flight surfaces and the wing tip (one each on the wing tips,
the stabilons and tail lets, three on each aileron, four on each elevator, three on the rudder, two on the rudder
tab, two on the ventral fin, one on each horizontal stabilizer tip and one on each of the forward and aft vertical
stabilizer upper fairings) to aid in dissipating the electrical charge (Ref. Figure 1).
NOTE: Due to the weight difference of available static dischargers, it is recommended that all static
dischargers on a control surface be of the same type and brand to avoid balancing the control
surface for each discharger replacement.

1. PROCEDURES
When there is a noticeable or a suspected buildup of static effects due to precipitation or if a lightning strike
has occurred, an inspection must be accomplished. Perform the inspection procedure for the static
dischargers and control surface bonding jumpers (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual,
P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).

1. STATIC DISCHARGER

A. Inspection
The static dischargers should be inspected at the proper interval (Ref. Chapters 5-20-02 and 5-20-07).
To functionally check, measure the resistance of the static discharger with a megohmmeter (28, Table
7, Chapter 91-00-00) at a minimum of 500 volts, a lesser test voltage will not generate a leakage rate
sufficient to provide an accurate reading.
When there is a noticeable or a suspected buildup of static effects due to precipitation or if a lightning
strike has occurred perform the inspection procedure for the static dischargers and control surface
bonding jumpers (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197,
Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
NOTE: To ensure the best possible functioning of the static dischargers, the resistance between the
mounting base of the static discharger and the central grounding point must be 0.1 ohm or
less. The resistance between the mounting base of static dischargers mounted on composite
surfaces such as the tail lets and stabilons to the central grounding point should be 20 ohms or
less. If resistances in excess of this amount are encountered, the mounting base should be
removed and replaced. The resistance between the control surface on which the static
discharger is attached and the central ground point must be less than 0.01 ohm. In order to
make these small resistance measurements use a milliohmmeter (31, Table 7, Chapter
91-00-00).
Check the Static Dischargers using the following procedure:
WARNING: Electrical shock can result if the megohmmeter is improperly used. Refer to the
applicable Manufacturer’s operating handbook for proper operating procedures.

(1) Connect one megohmmeter test lead to the metal tip on the static discharger (on dischargers that
have bristles instead of the metal tip use an alligator clip on the meter lead and clamp as many of
the bristles as possible).

(2) Connect the other megohmmeter test lead to the static discharger base mount.

(3) Place the megohmmeter power switch to ON and observe meter indication. For trailing edge
mounted dischargers the acceptable resistance range is 6 to 200 megohms. For tip mounted
dischargers the acceptable range is 6 to 120 megohms. If a given discharger reads outside of the
appropriate range, it must be replaced (Ref. Figure 201). Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER
REMOVAL and the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedures in this section.

(4) Check the resistance for the new static discharger. If the resistance is still too high, the threaded
portion of the base mount is corroded. Base mount removal and installation procedures are
different depending on if the base mount is located on an aluminium surface, on a stabilon, or on a
composite surface. Perform the appropriate removal and installation procedure in this chapter.

(5) Place the megohmmeter power switch to off and disconnect the test leads.

B. Base Mount Removal


NOTE: The static discharger base mounts need not be removed unless the resistance requirements
under the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND
AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual are not met (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner
Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
Static dischargers on the stabilons are installed in tubes which are bonded into the stabilon
tips. Special procedures are required for replacement of these mounts which are covered
separately under STABILON STATIC DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT REPLACEMENT
procedures in this section.

(1) Unscrew the discharger from the base mount.

(2) Remove the screws and lock washers securing the base mount to the surface.

(3) Remove the base mount from the surface.

C. Base Mount Installation (On Aluminium Surfaces)


(1) Clean an area slightly larger than the area to be bonded (minimum 0.25 inch) by removing all
non-conductive material such as films, grease, oil, paints, metal finishes or other high resistance
elements with 3M No. 600 grit sandpaper or equivalent, and solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). The mating surface must be smooth and contoured so that maximum surface area is in
contact.

NOTE: An acceptable substitute for the preceding may be used in accordance with MIL-B-5087B
(Bonding, Electrical and Lightning Protection for Aerospace Systems).
The alodine solution should have an amber color. If the solution is coffee colored it has
been contaminated. Repeat the cleaning procedure if contaminated alodine has been
applied to the bonding surface.

(2) Shake the alodine solution (88, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) vigorously just prior to application,
then apply to the bonding surface with a clean Scotch Brite pad, sponge, brush or cloth.

(3) Keep the treated area wet with alodine for approximately 3 to 5 minutes until a yellow color
develops. Should the alodine not change color, it is an indication that the surface was not properly
cleaned.

NOTE: The bonding surfaces must be assembled within one hour of alodine treatment. Once
dried, alodine must be softened before it can be effectively used in bonding. If more than
an hour has passed, soften the alodine by applying wet alodine to the dried surface.

(4) After the alodine has changed color rinse the area with clean, deionized water and gently wipe dry.
Touch-up any areas where the alodine does not cover the bonding surface. Care must be taken
not to damage the alodine coating as it is still soft when bonding.

(5) Install the static discharger base mount, using the attaching screws and washers, onto the
aluminum surface. Perform the Steps for the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN
DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual
(Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197,
Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).

(6) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure in this section.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 23-60-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(7) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.

(8) Finish the surface area around the base mount attachment point with the original finish.

D. Stabilon and Taillet Static Discharger Mount Replacement


(1) Carefully remove the static discharger attach tube from the stabilon or taillet tip and clean out the
hole to 0.16-inch diameter.

(2) Fill the hole with P/N 610-1016 conductive adhesive (188, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) using a
probe to help spread the adhesive evenly inside of the hole.

(3) Apply conductive adhesive liberally to the outside diameter of the tube and insert the tube into the
hole until the end is flush with the trailing edge of the stabilon.

NOTE: Assure that the threads in the tube are protected from the adhesive as static discharger
installation could be hampered.

(4) Allow the adhesive to dry according the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

(5) After the adhesive is cured perform the Steps for the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN
DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual
(Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapter
23-60-02).

(6) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure in this section.

(7) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.

E. Base Mount Installation (On Composite Surfaces)


NOTE: Do not file, grind, sand or otherwise remove material from the surface. Clean with alcohol only.

(1) Abrade with 180 grit sandpaper or finer to roughen the surface resin uniformly without damaging
the underlying fiber.

(2) Remove dust by vacuum and wipe the surface using a lint-free cleaning cloth (189, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe in one direction until non-composite
contaminants are gone from surface. Wipe surface dry without letting alcohol evaporate.

(3) Install the static discharger base mount onto the composite surface. Perform the Steps for the TO
CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the
corrosion control manual (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N
114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).

(4) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure in this section.

(5) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.

F. Static Discharger Removal


(1) Static dischargers may be removed by turning the threaded discharger assemblies
counterclockwise until they are disconnected from the base. The static discharger base mounts
need not be removed unless the resistance requirements under the TO CHECK RESISTANCE
BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control
manual are not met (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N
114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).

(2) If the static discharger is to be reused, do not discard the lock washer installed on each static
discharger.

G. Static Discharger Installation


NOTE: When installing new static discharger assemblies, discard the lock nut which is installed on
each new static discharger assembly. This lock nut is used merely as a retainer nut to ensure
against loss of the lock washer.

(1) To ensure proper function of the static dischargers, all threaded connections should be cleaned
with Toluol (Toluene) (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) prior to installation of the static dischargers.

(2) Apply one drop of Locktite 222 thread locker to the threads of the discharger and insert the
threaded connection, with the lock washer installed, into the base mount. Screw the discharger in
by hand until the lock washer is completely compressed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Direct current for the electrical systems of the airplane is supplied by two 30-volt, 300-ampere
starter-generators and either a 24-volt, 34-ampere hour battery or a 24-volt, 23-ampere hour battery.
Alternating current for certain engine instruments and for avionics is supplied by either one of two inverters.
Electrical system repair methods used on Beechcraft Corporation airplanes must be made in accordance with
the most current revision of the Federal Aviation Administration's “Aircraft Inspection and Repair” manual
AC43.13-1 and with the “Aircraft Alterations” manual AC43.13-2. Any components replaced and any wire,
cable, or terminals used in the maintenance of the electrical system must be of airplane quality. Any solder
connections must be made in an approved manner. Any solderless terminals or splices used must be applied
with tooling specified by the supplier.

A. AC Power
The AC power for the avionic equipment and the AC powered engine instruments is supplied by either
one of two inverters. The inverters are installed in the aft portion of each nacelle. The inverter operation
is controlled through an inverter select switch on the left outboard subpanel. Selection of either inverter
energizes the inverter power relay installed near that inverter to supply the operating DC power.
Operation and control of the inverters is discussed in greater detail in 24-20-00.
An AC volt/frequency meter has been provided for the purpose of monitoring inverter output and
performance. The meter is located in the overhead meter panel. (Ref. Figure 2). All AC operated
components are designed to operate within the range of voltage and frequency shown on the
volt/frequency meter.

B. DC Power
DC power from the generators and the battery is distributed to the various airplane systems by way of
three primary buses, two generator buses and the center/battery bus. The center/battery bus has a RH
side and a LH side located in each nacelle. Refer to the Wiring Diagram Manual to locate components
on this bus. Each generator is connected to its respective bus by a line contactor. Under normal
operation, all buses are tied together by bus tie relays. The bus tie relays are controlled by unidirectional
high current sensors; therefore, any bus can be isolated from the other buses should a fault condition
exist which would cause current flow through the bus to exceed a safe limit. An additional bus, triple fed
by all three power sources through blocking diodes, has been installed for the purpose of supplying
power to certain selected equipment. The hot battery bus is continuously powered to provide current to
certain lights and other equipment without the necessity of turning on the battery switch.
Two loadmeters and a voltmeter have been installed in the overhead meter panel (Ref. Figure 2) for
monitoring generator output. The voltmeter and select switch makes it possible to monitor voltages on
all the buses including external power at the plug.
Proper operation of the two generators in concert with each other demands that the generators are
properly controlled. Proper control of the generators is the responsibility of the generator control panels.
The control panels provide not only the necessary control functions such as voltage regulation,
equalization and load sharing, but certain protective functions as well. Reverse current protection,
overvoltage protection, overexcitation protection and cross-start overload protection are all provided for
by the control panels and will be discussed in greater detail in 24-30-00.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Battery Power
Battery power is controlled through the battery switch located under the master switches gang bar with
the generator switches. When the battery switch is turned on, the battery relay closes and the battery is
connected to the triple fed bus through a 60-ampere feeder limiter and to the RH pitot heat through a
35-ampere feeder limiter. Primary control of the battery bus tie relay also occurs when the battery switch
is turned on and the bus tie relay closes connecting the battery to the center/battery bus.
The battery compartment is located in the top of the right inboard wing leading edge (Ref. Figure 3).
The hot battery bus is always connected to the battery when the battery is installed and cannot be
isolated from the battery. All equipment connected to the hot battery bus is fed through individual fuses
located in the battery compartment.
A thorough discussion and maintenance procedures of the battery system and its associated controls
will be found in 24-31-00.

D. External Power
The external power receptacle is located behind an access door on the lower surface of the left inboard
wing section and is used to connect external power to the airplane electrical system.
When the external power switch is turned on, the external power relay closes and external power is
applied to both generator buses and the center/battery bus. The battery and hot bus will not be
connected until the battery switch is turned on. An overvoltage sensor prevents the external power relay
from closing if a voltage in excess of 32vdc is connected to the external power receptacle. More
information on this system is detailed in 24-40-00.

E. Electrical Load Distribution


Load distribution is the manner in which the various primary buses in the electrical system are loaded.
Each bus is broken down as to exactly what equipment is installed on the bus and the equipment power
requirements. AC load distribution is covered in this chapter as well as DC load distribution. This
information has been detailed in 24-50-00.

F. Starter and Ignition


The starter and ignition circuits provide power to motor the engine and for ignition during engine starts.
By selection of the starter only mode, the starter can be used for motoring the engine to clear the engine
of excess fuel; however, under no circumstances should the intermittent duty cycle for the starter be
exceeded.
An annunciator is illuminated to indicate when power is applied to the igniters. More detailed information
on the ignition circuits will be found in Chapter 74-00-00.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
During normal operation, an inverter power select relay is energized and power is supplied from the
starter-generator bus. Should a fault occur that would interrupt power to that bus, the power select relay
would de-energize and operating power would be taken from the center bus of the airplane, precluding the
possibility of loss of an inverter due to failure of power sources.
On airplanes equipped with inverter cooling blowers, the blowers are wired in parallel with the inverter power
relays. As a result, any time an inverter power relay is energized, its respective cooling blower will be
operating.
A voltage-frequency meter is installed to monitor the inverter output. The meter is located in the overhead
meter panel. The meter monitors frequency, except when the button in the lower left corner of the meter is
pressed to monitor voltage.
The inverter select relay is energized when the number one inverter is selected and de-energized when the
number two inverter is selected. The inverter warning relay is energized open when either inverter is selected
to prevent the illumination of the inverter warning annunciator when the selected inverter is supplying
115 VAC. The inverter select relay and the inverter warning relay are located on the forward right equipment
panel. Pictorial coverage of the equipment panels is provided in Chapter 39.
The inverter system described here is the standard installation. The circuit diagram in the wiring diagram
manual provides the circuit routing of the DC and AC power for the standard airplane instrumentation.

1. INVERTER
When troubleshooting the inverter system, all electrically operated systems and components should be
turned off except the battery which must be turned on in order to power the inverters and associated controls.
When checking for continuity and resistance, all electrical power must be remove from the airplane. Failure to
do so may result in erroneous measurements and damage to test equipment (Ref. Figures 101 and 102).

A. Power Select Relay Check


A failure in one of the inverter power select relay circuits could go undetected for some time; therefore,
it is recommended that the following check be performed at regular intervals. Any results contrary to the
expected results of the check will indicate that a fault in the inverter power select relay or its associated
circuitry is present.

(1) Start both engines according to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual, and bring both starter-generators on the line.

(2) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the TEST position; center bus voltage should read zero;
starter-generator bus voltages should read 28 vdc.

(3) Set the INV SELECT switch to NO. 1; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read 115 ± 3.5 volts at
400 ± 4 hz.

(4) Open the GEN 1 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read zero.

(5) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position closing the bus ties. The FREQ/AC VOLTS
meter should read 115 ± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 hz.

(6) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the TEST position opening all bus ties.

(7) Close the GEN 1 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read 115 ±
3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 hz.

(8) Set the INV SELECT switch to NO. 2; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read 115 ± 3.5 volts at
400 ± 4 hz.

(9) Open the GEN 2 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read zero.

(10) Close the bus ties again by placing the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position. The FREQ/AC
VOLTS meter should read 115 ± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 hz.

(11) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the TEST position.

(12) Close the GEN 2 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker; the FREQ/AC VOLTS meter should read 115
± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 hz.

(13) Shut down both engines according to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane
Flight Manual.

ELECTRICAL POWER
DC GENERATION AND CONTROL
24-30-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The generator phase of operation is controlled through the generator control switches located under the
master switches gang bar with the battery switch. If the generator is taken off the line while the generator is
running, the generator control switch must be placed in reset in order to bring the generator back on the line.
The DC generation system makes use of DC starter-generators, power panels, generator control panels,
battery bus tie relay and current sensor, control switches, a voltmeter, load meters and annunciator lights and
the bus tie printed circuit board.
Proper operation of each of these components is essential to obtain satisfactory generator operation. Many
different component failures can result in similar generator system response, making it extremely difficult to
isolate a faulty component merely by analyzing the system responses. The generator provides electrical
power to recharge the airplane battery and operate the airplane electrical loads. These loads require a
constant voltage source for proper operation. The generator output is maintained at a constant level by
controlling the shunt field excitation. The interpole and compensating windings of the generator are in series
with the armature and provide a voltage proportional to the generator current.

A. Power Panel
The DC power panels, mounted on the LH and RH nacelle electrical equipment panels, contain in a
single package, the line contactor, bus tie relay, start relay, and the unidirectional high current sensor.
The loadmeter shunt and the bus tie limiter are mounted externally on the power panel. Each relay in
the power panels is equipped with auxiliary contacts which are used for various control and logic
functions.

B. Generator Control Panels


All phases of generator operation are controlled by the generator control panels which are mounted in
the center aisle subfloor just aft of the main spar. The generator control panels provide voltage
regulation, generator load sharing, differential voltage and reverse current sensing and control,
overvoltage and over excitation protection, the field flash circuit and cross-start overload protection
(Ref. Figure 1).

C. Voltage Regulation
The generator output voltage is sensed at the generator side of the generator line contactor and is used
to power the voltage regulator circuit of the control panel at pin J, as well as to sense input to the control
panel at pin B. The regulator circuit of the control panel supplies the generator field excitation current
required to supply current for the electrical loads and to maintain a bus voltage of 28.25 ± 0.25 vdc.

D. Differential Voltage Control


When the generator control switch is turned off, the power to the line contactor coil control power is
interrupted at pin H of the control panel, thus removing the generator from the bus. At the same time, a
ground signal is applied to the remote trip circuit at pin N of the control panel to trip the control panel's
internal field relay, which de-excites the generator.

Page 1
24-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Equalization of the generators is accomplished by utilizing the voltage developed across the generator
interpole and compensating windings and is sensed by the control panel at pin D. The paralleling circuit
includes the LH and RH generator control panels. An interconnect between pins E on the control panels
completes the paralleling circuit. Equal load sharing is dependent upon equal resistance of the
generator winding and of the external circuitry. The generator control panels are designed to control the
generators and the load shared within 10% of the rating of one generator for total loads greater than
25%.

Figure 1
Generator Control Panels

E. Reverse Current Protection


The reverse current protection and differential voltage control are provided by the generator control
panels. Bus voltage is sensed at the bus side of the line contactor by control panel pin A. The generator
output voltage is sensed at the generator side of the line contactor by control panel pin B. Whenever the
generator is operating and the control switch is placed in the reset position, the generator output voltage
will rise to the regulated voltage. When the generator switch is placed in the on position, a voltage
output from pin H of the control panel will close the line contactor to connect the generator to the bus, if
the generator voltage is greater than bus voltage or not more than 0.5 vdc below bus voltage.
When the generator field becomes underexcited for any reason, or when the generator slows down to
where it can no longer maintain a positive load, the generator will begin to draw current from the
airplane bus. This current, termed REVERSE CURRENT, passes through the interpole and
compensating windings of the generator. The voltage developed by this current is sensed at pin D of the
generator control panel. When this voltage exceeds 0.5 volts, the generator control panel removes the
voltage from the coil of the line contactor, permitting the contactor to open, removing the generator from
the airplane bus.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

F. Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection is provided by the generator control panel. In the event the output voltage
reaches 32.5 vdc, the overvoltage protection portion of the generator control panel will trip an internal
field relay and open the coil circuit of the line contactor. The overvoltage generator is thus de-excited
and isolated from the airplane bus.
Should a circuit fault occur which would supply generator output or bus voltage to the generator field, or
should the voltage regulation of one of the control panels fail, the affected generator would attempt to
assume the full electrical load. If the bus voltage were to rise above 28.25 ± 25 vdc reverse current
would begin to flow in the normally regulated generator and it would be removed, temporarily, from the
bus. Should the resultant voltage increase above 32.5 vdc in the affected generator, it will be removed
from the bus also and the non-affected generator can be reconnected to the bus. The resultant bus
voltage would depend upon the generator speed, the electrical load and the nature of the fault.
A positive test of this overvoltage function of the control panel is accomplished by applying generator
output voltage to pin P of the control panel through the overvoltage test switch. This activates the
overvoltage circuit which trips the internal field relay of the control panel and de-excites the generator.
At no time during this test will the generator actually go into overvoltage.

G. Overexcitation Protection
Overexcitation protection is provided by the generator control panel. This portion of the control panel will
activate in the event the generator load and speed conditions are such, or the nature of the fault is such,
that the generator voltage starts to increase without control, but does not go into overvoltage. Should
the generator load unbalance reach the designed limitation value, the circuitry will be activated to
remove the affected generator from the bus.

H. Field Flash Circuit


When the generator switch is placed in reset, the generator residual voltage from terminal B+ of the
starter-generator is applied to the generator field at terminal A+ through a low resistance circuit,
bypassing the regulator until the generator voltage builds up high enough for the voltage regulator to
effectively control the generator. Any time the generator control panel has been tripped for overvoltage
or the generator has a low residual voltage, reset must be used in order to bring the generator on the
line.

I. Remote Trip Function


When the generator control switch is turned off, a ground signal is applied to pin N of the control panel,
tripping the control panel internal field relay which opens the generator field and de-excites the
generator.

J. Cross-Start Overload Protection


The generator control panel has been designed to protect certain electrical system components from
damage in the event cross-starts are attempted. This is accomplished by way of the current limiting
feature of the control panel.
When the start switch is placed in start, the start signal is applied to pin S of the control panel and
disables the voltage regulator circuit, preventing the generator from being excited. Simultaneously the
start signal is applied to pin R of the opposite control panel and activates the current limiting circuit of
the opposite control panel, which protects the opposite generator from overload.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

K. Bus Tie System


A system of current sensors, bus tie relays and the bus tie printed circuit board is utilized to provide
protection in the event of a ground fault condition on one of the buses. Three sensors, one on the
center/battery bus and one in each power panel, monitor current flow between the buses. Any time
excess current is detected (approximately 275 amps) flowing through the current sensor in the reverse
direction back toward one of the buses, the sensor will open the coil of bus tie relay for that bus and the
faulted bus will be isolated from the rest of the system.
The generator bus tie printed circuit board initiates the closed mode activity of the bus tie system by
supplying energizing current to the coils of the generator bus tie relays, located in the power panels,
when the generator line contactors close. The generator bus tie control circuits of the bus tie pcb will
also be energized when an external power supply is connected and the external power switch and
battery switch are on. The generator bus tie relays can also be closed manually through the bus tie
switch. The battery bus tie relay closes automatically when the battery switch is turned on.
When a sensor detects high current on the bus it is controlling, it supplies a ground signal to its
respective bus tie deactivate circuit of the bus tie pcb and opens the coil circuit of its respective bus tie
relay. The bus tie relay will remain open until closed by placing the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET
position. During engine starts, the bus tie pcb disarms the high current sensors to prevent tripping of the
bus tie relays.
The bus tie system can be functionally checked by placing the test switch, located on the left outboard
subpanel, in the test mode which provides a 28 vdc signal to the test circuit of the sensors and simulates
a high current condition. The bus tie relays can be reset by placing the BUS SENSE switch in the reset
mode.
The bus tie switch, located on the left outboard subpanel, makes it possible to manually open the
generator bus ties when they are in the closed mode by opening the grounding circuits of the bus tie
relays. The circuits are restored to their closed state when the switch is placed in the NORM position.
Annunciators for L GEN TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN are activated through the
annunciation circuits of the bus tie pcb. Additionally, the MAN TIES CLOSE annunciator is activated
when the GEN TIES switch is placed in the CLOSED position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. PROCEDURES
The starter-generator and controls troubleshooting is best accomplished by monitoring each of the control
panel inputs for proper response during various modes of operation and comparing these responses to those
of a normal system.
Table 101 contains detailed information on continuity and voltage measurements that may be expected at the
generator control panel of a normal system. The continuity checks should be performed with the control panel
disconnected, the battery off, external power off and the engines shut down.
The resistance values shown in the Table 101 are approximate values. It is not expected that these exact
values will be obtained during checkout; they should be used rather as a guide to locate open and short
circuits in the airplane wiring.
Usually, it should not be necessary to check each of the inputs given in Table 101 to isolate a defective
component. Checking the ground wires and one or two specific circuits is normally sufficient. The
troubleshooting charts in this chapter list the observed system fault and probable cause and identify the pins
of the generator control panel which should be monitored as well as the expected voltages. Many times the
description of the system malfunction is sufficient to indicate which circuits to check (Ref. Figures 103 thru
107).

A. Voltage Checks
A test jack on the RH inboard subpanel provides for sampling DC voltage during routine checks. If
voltage adjustments are to be made, voltage measurements should be taken at the jack provided on the
top of each generator control panel.

B. Overvoltage Check
An overvoltage protect-switch located on the generator control panel shelf of each control panel should
be used to test the overvoltage function of each control panel. Placing the test switch in the TEST
position applies bus voltage to pin P of the control panel. A good test of the overvoltage circuits of the
control panels results in the generator under test being removed from the line and de-excited; this
response is confirmed by residual voltage at pin B of the control panel. Any other response is indicative
of a fault in the control panel.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Generator Control Panel Test Unit


A “Generator Control Panel Test Unit Assembly” (P/N 1999/935) should be used to gain access to the
individual inputs and outputs of the generator control panel. A wiring schematic provides adequate
information for building the test unit (Ref. Figure 102).
CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect the generator control panel wiring harness plug when the
engine is running as this may damage the control panel.
The wiring harness plug is disconnected from the generator control panel and connected to the
receptacle of the test unit. The plug from the test unit is inserted into the receptacle of the generator
control panel, thereby completing the series attachment of the test unit to the control panel. Do not
connect the control panel when checking continuities.
A sensitive multimeter or volt/ohm meter, digital being preferred, capable of measuring voltages
accurate to within one percent, is connected to the test unit by way of the banana jacks on the face of
the test unit; proper polarity of these connections must be closely observed as both positive and
negative values will be measured. The alligator clip from pin G should be positively grounded to the
airplane structure.
Individual inputs or outputs are selected by rotating the knob on the rotary switch to the desired switch
position. A test switch in the unit applies a ground signal to pin E to check the operation of the equalizer
circuit. A push-to-test light provides information concerning the operation of the generator field sense
relay during engine start. During start, a dimly glowing test light is a normal indication; however, should
the light flash brightly, it may be assumed that the field sense relay is not closing and that the control
panel may have been damaged by the transient voltages generated during engine start. The test light
may only flash once and then burn out. Refer to the procedure to check the field sense relays
(Ref. 24-30-02, FIELD SENSE RELAY CHECK).
CAUTION: Never replace a damaged control panel until the proper operation of the field sense relay
has been confirmed.
All voltage measurements are made with one generator on and a 50 percent load. Since maximum
generator output is 300 amperes, enough electrical equipment should be turned on to establish
approximately 150 amperes of load on the electrical system. Refer to 24-50-00 for loads utilized by the
various electrical systems and components.
When checking the generator equalizer circuit for operation, a voltage drop of two or three volts at pin B
is an indication that the generator equalizer circuit is operating properly.

B. Shaft Spline Inspection


Whenever the starter-generator has been removed for any reason, the starter-generator shaft spline
(male) must be cleaned and inspected as follows:
CAUTION: It is extremely important not to allow contact between the oven cleaner and aluminum parts.
Oven cleaner is detrimental to aluminum.

(1) Apply a coating of oven cleaner (141, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on a tooth brush, then utilizing
the tooth brush, apply the oven cleaner on the surface of the starter-generator shaft spline (male).

(2) Leave the cleaner on the surface for 15 to 30 minutes.

(3) Using a tooth brush, remove the debris from the male spline area.

(4) Use a wet (with water) cloth to remove any remaining debris and cleaning agent from the male
spline.

(5) Using a 10X power magnifying glass, inspect the starter-generator shaft spline (male) for damage
that may be the result of Electrical Discharge Damage (EDD) (Ref. Figure 202).

Page 201
24-30-01 May 1/11
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Electrical pitting or arcing damage is recognized by its characteristic crater like
indentations in the metal surfaces. The craters often have shiny floors (formerly molten
metal) and may be surrounded by expelled material and heat discoloration.

(6) If a black or reflective foreign material is observed, clean the area again as described in Steps (1)
thru (4), and reinspect to confirm that the pits are not mechanical damage or wear caused by
debris lodged between the male (starter-generator) spline and female (engine) spline.

(7) If any EDD pitting is identified on the male spline, do an oil patch test per Pratt and Whitney
Canada Service Bulletin No. 14318 and contact Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Customer
Support. If the starter-generator is to be reinstalled, record the pitting observed for future
reference.

F. Brush Inspection
The starter-generator brushes are provided with a diagonal groove from one side of the contact surface
to a point on the opposite side which corresponds to the point of maximum permissible wear
(Ref. Figure 205). Brush wear can be estimated by the position of the groove on the contact surface. If
the wear grooves indicate any one is at, or near, 1/4 of its remaining life or if inspection reveals the need
for any other maintenance, the unit should be removed from the airplane and maintenance performed in
accordance with the applicable Lucas Aerospace (Lear Siegler) Component Maintenance Manual with
Illustrated Parts List for the particular model number unit.
NOTE: It should also be noted that, although cored brushes may cause the commutator to appear
grooved in the area of the brush cores, this unusual appearance of the commutator should not
be interpreted as cause for rejection unless any groove exceeds 0.020 inch. When brushes
are replaced, full brush seating is comprised of both coarse brush pre-seating by sanding
combined with final brush run-in by running the unit on a drive stand or operating the unit as a
motor (Refer to the applicable Lucas Aerospace (Lear Siegler) Maintenance Manual.
The frequency of brush inspection should be determined by the operator based upon experience with
individual units. The brushes must be replaced if the wear limit will be reached before the next
scheduled inspection.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The airplane is equipped with a 20-cell, nickel-cadmium battery rated at 24 volts and 34 ampere-hours
(one-hour rate) or a 23-ampere-hour battery. The battery is installed in the RH inboard wing and is ventilated.
Vents located in the top surface of the wing and under the battery permit cooling of the battery during
operation and allow the escape of gases produced if an overcharge occurs.
The nickel-cadmium battery consists of a steel case containing a number of identical and individual cells
connected to each other in series and fitted side-by-side in the battery case. The cells are interconnected by
link bars. These bars are held in place on each cell by nuts on threaded terminals. The end cells are
connected by a solid or a flexible link to a terminal on one face of the battery case or to a terminal that
extends through the battery cover. The design of nickel-cadmium batteries allows for replacement of the
individual cells if one cell becomes damaged.
Service facilities for nickel-cadmium batteries must be separate from lead-acid battery facilities. The
electrolyte contained in nickel-cadmium batteries is a highly alkaline solution of potassium hydroxide and
water. This solution is a chemical “opposite” to the sulfuric acid contained in lead-acid batteries. Anything
associated with lead-acid batteries, including acid fumes, should never come in contact with a
nickel-cadmium battery or its electrolyte. If traces of sulfuric acid enter a nickel-cadmium battery, it can
become damaged permanently.
If the electrolyte becomes contaminated with tap water, acids or other non-compatible substances, poor
performance or complete failure of the battery will result. If a battery operates with damaged, missing or loose
vent caps, the result will be a low battery capacity caused by the loss of electrolyte.

1. PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Service facilities for nickel-cadmium batteries must be entirely separate from those for lead-acid
batteries. Fumes from lead-acid batteries or small traces of sulfuric acid entering a
nickel-cadmium battery can damage it permanently.
Use not only separate filler equipment, but separate supplies of distilled water to avoid
contamination of the nickel-cadmium cells. Brushes, scrapers, cloths, tools or other implements
used to maintain lead-acid batteries must never be used on nickel-cadmium batteries.
Maintenance of the battery should be performed at regular intervals to obtain maximum service from the
battery. The battery must be removed from the airplane to perform the necessary servicing. A new battery
should be serviced at the first 100 flight-hours, and thereafter at the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations. However, if battery is subjected to exceptionally heavy use such as frequent engine
starting using the battery, or if the battery is operated at temperatures higher than what the manufacturer
recommends, the service interval should be reduced. Battery condition should be monitored by using a
battery maintenance log (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual,
P/N 114-590021-11).
For best operation and maximum life, nickel-cadmium batteries should be completely disassembled and all
components thoroughly inspected and cleaned at least once a year as outlined in the Model 1900 Airliner
Series Component Maintenance Manual, P/N 114-590021-11. For most applications, this maintenance can
be scheduled to coincide with a major inspection of the airplane itself. Since complete battery servicing
requires two days, an additional battery may be required to allow use of the airplane.
WARNING: The electrolyte is caustic and can cause serious burns if it comes into contact with the
skin. If electrolyte does contact the skin, the area should be flushed immediately with
large amounts of water, and neutralized with a 3% solution of acetic acid, vinegar, lemon
juice, or a 10% solution of boric acid. For treatment of electrolyte in the eyes, flush with
large amounts of water and contact a physician immediately.

A. Maintenance Log
Because of the importance of keeping track of the liquid level as well as the general state of charge and
condition of the battery, it is strongly advised that a maintenance log be kept of all service and
maintenance. Not only are careful records helpful in correcting battery malfunctions in normal servicing,
but they are vital to the substantiation of battery warranty claims. Refer to Table 201 for a sample format
of a service log.

B. Charging
All charging maintenance shall be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions outlined in the
Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual, P/N 114-590021-11.

F. Pre-Installation Instructions for Nickel-Cadmium Batteries


NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated by a red warning tag, nickel-cadmium batteries are shipped in a
completely discharged state, but with the proper amount of electrolyte in the cells.
Observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance and protect the battery
warranty.

(1) Do not remove the shorting clip until just before the battery is to be charged. Batteries that have
had the shorting clip removed (even for a short period of time) must be considered to have an
unknown charge and require a complete discharge prior to charging and installation procedures.

(2) Inspect batteries shipped from the factory for shipping plugs in the vent holes of each battery cell.
The blunt aluminum screws that serve as shipping plugs must be removed prior to operation of the
battery. The bunson valves, included with the battery in a separate plastic bag, should then be
screwed into the vent cap assembly in place of the screw plugs. The bunson valves will release
excessive pressure to prevent cell rupture caused by gas accumulation.

NOTE: On batteries not equipped with the screw-type plugs and bunson valves, remove the
shipping plugs and clean the filler cap vent plugs as noted under battery cleaning
procedures. Tighten the cell vents with the vent plug wrench included with the battery.

(3) Check the terminal screws securing the cell links for tightness. Refer to the service sheet furnished
with the battery or to the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for the proper torque value.

(4) Before charging, determine that all cells are properly installed by making a cumulative voltage
check.

(5) After determining the battery is in good physical condition and is properly assembled, the
electrolyte level should be adjusted and the battery charged as outlined by battery charging
procedures.

G. Installation
WARNING: Remove all watches, rings, and metal jewelry before attempting maintenance on the
battery. If metal articles contact the intercell connectors of opposite polarity, the
objects will fuse themselves to the connectors and result in severe burns to the
wearer.

(1) If necessary remove battery access panel located on the top surface of the RH wing center section
(Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS).

(2) Position the battery (2) in the battery box (3) (Ref. Figure 201).

H. Battery Cleaning and Inspection


Reference the manufacturer’s instructions in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance
Manual, P/N 114-590021-11 for when to inspect and how to clean the battery. Always keep a record of
maintenance, service and condition in a battery maintenance log. Use the log to monitor battery
condition over time, and to decide if the battery needs a shorter maintenance interval than what is called
out in the manufacturer’s instructions.

BATTERY MONITOR
24-32-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
A battery charge current monitor is installed to provide a visual indication of an abnormal battery charge
current. The system annunciator light illuminates if conditions exist that cause the charge current to be higher
than normal. The battery may then be disconnected from the charging circuit, if necessary.
During normal operation, the idle current of the battery is less than one amp. It increases significantly above
the normal level when the battery is charged at an elevated temperature or from a high charge voltage. A high
idle current increases water consumption and may destroy the gas barrier (cellophane separator) between
the plates. Once a battery has sustained damage to the gas barrier, it will have a high idle current and will be
subject to thermal runaway. The battery monitor system provides an indication of the high current resulting
from high battery temperature, or high charging voltage, or gas barrier damage.
The battery monitor system consists of a 250-ampere shunt in the negative lead of the battery, a battery
charge current monitor, and a BATTERY CHARGE light (yellow) in the caution/advisory annunciator panel.
The shunt is located adjacent to the battery box (RH inboard wing). The current monitor module is installed
beneath the center aisle floor aft of the LH forward partition. For the shunt and the module maintenance
practices (Ref. Chapter 39-20-00).
Following an engine start, the BATTERY CHARGE light will illuminate for approximately five minutes or until
the charge current decreases to the reset level of the current monitor. The light will remain illuminated more
than five minutes if the trigger level of the monitor is set too low, or if the battery is in a low state of charge, or
has been discharging slowly. This illumination functions as a self-test of the battery charge monitor system.
After the BATTERY CHARGE light extinguishes, it should remain off unless a battery condition needs
monitoring or unless the battery idle current increases in response to an increase in electrical system voltage.
Such a voltage increase normally results from poor generator paralleling or load switching. The light may
illuminate for short intervals as the battery recharges until the generator speed is increased above cut-in
speed.

ELECTRICAL POWER
BATTERY MONITOR
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
The charge current monitor receives a signal from the battery shunt and provides 28 volts to illuminate the
BATTERY CHARGE light when the signal exceeds the trigger level. This trigger level corresponds to 8 ± 1
amp of battery charge current. The circuit will reset when the signal decreases by a set amount below the
trigger level. A six-second time delay in the monitor circuit prevents the illumination of the annunciator during
momentary recharges of the battery.

A. Functional Test
Calibration of the battery monitor system can be checked on the airplane by simulating a charge current
sufficient to trigger the current detector circuit. A circuit constructed to accomplish this function is shown
in Figure 201. It is recommended that system calibration be checked at regular intervals when the
battery is removed for service.
NOTE: The signal level is very low and susceptible to resistance imbalance in the shunt signal leads.
All connections in these leads must be clean and tight to prevent improper system calibration
and erratic operation.
Connect a variable 40-volt DC power supply; a variable 0 to 10- amp DC power supply; a ± 10 volt DC
voltmeter, two lamps (P/N 327), and a 250-amp 50-millivolt shunt (Ref. Figure 201). Test the battery
charge monitor circuit as follows:

(1) Apply 28 volts to pin 14. Set the 10-amp power source to 0 amps. The two lights (P/N 327) should
not illuminate.

(2) Apply 36 volts to pin 14. Apply 10 amps to the shunt. The two lights (P/N 327) should illuminate
after approximately six seconds. Connect the voltmeter to pin 13; the reading should be 35 ± 0.5
volts.

(3) Set the 10-amp power source to 0 amps. The two lights (P/N 327) should extinguish and the
voltage reading at pin 13 should be less than one volt.

(4) Apply 28 volts to pin 14. Connect the voltmeter to pin 5; the reading should be + 8 ± 2 volts.

(5) Increase the amperage at the 10-amp power source until the voltmeter reading at pin 5 switches to
-8 volts. The amperage reading should be 8 ± 1 amp. The two lights (P/N 327) should illuminate
approximately 6 seconds after the voltage at pin 5 switches from + 8 volts to -8 volts. Decrease the
amperage 0.5 amp. The voltage reading for pin 5 should switch to + 8 volts and the two lights (P/N
327) should extinguish. Connect the voltmeter to pin 13; the reading should be less than one volt.

1. GENERAL
The external power receptacle is located immediately aft of the LH main gear door. The receptacle is
designed for use with an auxiliary ground power unit equipped with a standard AN plug. An overvoltage
sensor module circuit protects the airplane electrical system from an APU with reversed polarity or
excessively high output voltage. When an APU is connected to the receptacle, the sensor module utilizes
voltage from the hot battery bus to allow voltage to be delivered between the positive terminal and the small,
polarizing terminal of the APU plug to illuminate the EXTERNAL POWER annunciator light (green). The
annunciator light will be illuminated when the APU is turned ON or OFF if the APU is plugged into the
receptacle.
The external power relay and the overvoltage sensor PCB are located adjacent to the inverter in the LH
nacelle. The circuit breaker is located adjacent to the external power receptacle. Refer to Chapter 39-20-00
for further information on these components.

1. PROCEDURES
If APU polarity and voltage are correct, sensor output voltage is routed to the external power switch. When
the switch is placed in the ON position, the external power relay closes, supplying power to the center battery
bus (Ref. Figure 101). Control voltage from the small pin of the external power receptacle is routed through a
circuit breaker and the external power switch to the bus tie PCB to close the generator bus tie relays. Power
is then applied through these closed relays to the generator busses and the triple fed bus. In addition, small
pin voltage is routed to the select switch on the overhead meter panel to allow monitoring of APU voltage. If
the battery is not connected to its power cables, the battery switch must be placed in the ON position to
supply external power through the switch to close the battery bus tie relay and the battery relay. When these
relays are closed, external power is supplied to the hot battery bus and the RH pitot heat feeder. Refer to
Figure 102 for troubleshooting data.

1. PROCEDURES
The ground power unit used for engine starts or for ground operation without the engines running must be
capable of supplying load requirements without excessive voltage drop. The unit must be capable of
delivering up to 1000 amperes for one second and be capable of delivering up to 300 amperes continuously
at 24 to 30 volts. Use of an inadequate ground power unit can cause a voltage drop that is below the dropout
voltage of the external power relay and the starter relay. This will result in relay chatter or welded contacts.
CAUTION: Use only an auxiliary power source that is negatively grounded. If the polarity of the power source
is unknown, determine the polarity by using a voltmeter before connecting the power unit to the
airplane.
The output setting must not exceed 1000 amperes on external power sources with a higher
current-carrying capability. Any current in excess of 1000 amperes may overtorque the drive shaft
of the starter-generator or produce heat sufficient to shorten the life of the unit.
Voltage is required to energize the Avionics Master power relays to remove power from the
avionics equipment. Therefore, never apply external power to the airplane without first applying
battery voltage. If the battery is removed from the airplane or if the battery switch is to be placed
in the OFF position, connect the external battery in parallel to the external power unit prior to
energizing the auxiliary power unit.

If external power is to be used for ground maintenance, such as landing gear rigging, ensure that
every avionics unit is turned off.
The battery may be damaged if exposed to voltages higher that 30 volts for extended periods of
time.
A continuous load in excess of 350 amperes will damage the external power relay and the power
cables of the aircraft.

A. Connecting the Ground Power Unit


(1) Review the cautions above.

(2) Start the ground power unit and adjust the output to 28 ± 0.5 vdc with a maximum current output of
1000 amperes.

(3) Shut the ground power unit down.

(4) Open the ground power receptacle access panel.

(5) Connect the ground power unit electrical connector to the airplane ground power receptacle.

1. PROCEDURES
Open limiters and diodes cannot be detected easily during the normal operation of the airplane electrical
system. However, the voltmeters can be used for operational checks of the electrical system. The following
procedures should be performed after electrical system maintenance has been performed. Ensure that all
electrical equipment, including avionics, is turned off.

A. Bus Conformity Check


(1) Set the battery switch to the OFF position and read battery voltage by placing the voltmeter select
switch to the BAT position. The voltmeter should indicate zero volts for all other positions of the
switch.

(2) Set the battery switch to the ON position and the GEN TIES switch in the OPEN position. The
voltmeter should indicate battery voltage when the select switch is set to the BAT position, or
slightly less than battery voltage when the switch is set to the TRIPLE BUS position. Select the
CENTER BUS position; the voltmeter should indicate battery voltage if the battery bus tie is
closed. Select the L GEN and the R GEN positions; each position should result in a zero voltage
indication if the bus ties are open.

(3) Set the GEN TIES switch to the CLOSE position. The MAN TIES CLOSE annunciator (green)
should illuminate. The R GEN TIE OPEN and the L GEN TIE OPEN annunciator lights (yellow)
should extinguish. The voltmeter should indicate battery voltage corresponding to the BAT
position, the L GEN position and the R GEN position of the voltmeter select switch. Select the EXT
PWR position; the voltmeter should indicate zero volts. Both loadmeters should indicate zero
percent.

(4) Set the BUS SENSE switch to the TEST position and release. The annunciators labeled L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN, and BATT TIE OPEN should illuminate. Set the voltmeter select
switch to the BAT position; the voltmeter should indicate battery voltage. Select the TRIPLE BUS
position; the voltmeter should indicate slightly less than battery voltage. The voltmeter should
indicate zero volts for all other positions of the select switch.

(5) Set the BUS SENSE switch to the RESET position and release. The annunciators labeled L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN, and BATT TIE OPEN should extinguish.

(6) Start the RH engine. Set the RH generator switch to the RESET position, then to the ON position
after RH engine power is set to HIGH IDLE. All busses should now be powered.

(7) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to L GEN and R GEN. The voltmeter should indicate 28.25 ±
0.25 volts corresponding to each switch position. Select the BAT position; the voltmeter should
indicate generator voltage.

(8) Start the LH engine. Set the LH generator switch to the RESET position, then to the ON position
after setting LH engine power to HIGH IDLE. RH load meter and LH load meter indications should
be approximately equal.

(9) Turn on electrical equipment sufficient to result in a 50% load indication on the RH load meter.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(10) Set the GEN TIES switch to the OPEN position. The annunciator lights labeled L GEN TIE OPEN
and R GEN TIE OPEN should illuminate.

(11) Set the LH generator switch and the battery switch to OFF. Rotate the voltmeter select switch to
the L GEN position. The voltmeter should indicate zero volts. Select the R GEN position; the
voltmeter should indicate 28.25 ± 0.25 volts. Select the BAT position; the voltmeter should indicate
battery voltage.

(12) Set the LH generator switch to RESET and then to ON. Set the RH generator switch to OFF. The
voltmeter should indicate battery voltage as in Step (11). Set the select switch to L GEN; the
voltmeter should indicate 28.25 ± 0.25 volts. Set the select switch to R GEN; the voltmeter should
indicate 0 volts. Set the GEN TIES switch to the NORM position. The bus ties should close
automatically and the voltmeter should indicate 28.25 ± 0.25 volts DC.

(13) Set the RH generator switch to RESET and then to ON. Set the GEN TIES switch to OPEN and
open the circuit breakers labeled NO. 1 INV PWR SEL and NO. 2 INV PWR SEL (located on the
RH circuit breaker panel). Set the inverter select switch to the NO. 1 position, the NO. 2 position,
and the OFF position. Zero voltage corresponding to each switch position should be indicated on
the AC voltage/frequency meter.

(14) Set the GEN TIES switch to the NORM position. Ensure that the inverter select switch is in the
OFF position. The AC voltage/frequency meter should indicate zero volts and the INSTR INV
annunciator (red) should illuminate.

(15) Set the inverter select switch to the NO.1 position. The AC voltage/frequency meter should
indicate 115 vac and 400 Hz. The meter should also indicate 115 vac and 400 Hz for the No.2
position. Turn the inverter select switch OFF.

(16) Reset the NO.1 INV PWR SEL and the NO.2 PWR SEL circuit breakers. Set the inverter select
switch to NO. 1 and NO. 2. The AC voltage/frequency meter should indicate 115 vac
corresponding to each position of the inverter switch. The torquemeter and other equipment

removal. On airplanes with the optional solid partition, the seats must be moved forward for
removal. Before removing the pilot's seat, lower the seat to its lowest position and place the left
armrest down prior to removal. If the pilot's seat is not lowered, or if the left armrest is up when
the seat is moved forward, components of the fuel control panel may be damaged.

(1) Remove the fire extinguisher from the floor behind the pilot's seat.

(2) Remove the seat stops at the end of each seat track.

(3) Move the seat forward (or aft) until it clears the mounting track.

NOTE: On airplanes with the optional solid partition, the seats will not clear the compartment door
in the upright position. To remove a seat from the compartment, place the armrests up,
turn the seat on its side, and work it through the door.

B. Installation
(1) Place the seat in position and align the seat guide with the mounting tracks.

CAUTION: Lower the seat to its lowest position and place the left armrest down before sliding the
seat into position. Take care not to force the seat against the fuel control panel during
installation.

(2) Release the fore and aft adjustment lock and slide the seat into the desired position. Engage the
fore and aft lock making certain it holds the seat firmly in place.

If the minimum and maximum limitations shown in Figure 201 can not be met, contact Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation Technical Support.

B. Corrosion on the Seat Track


If corrosion is found on the seat tracks, refer to Chapter 20-09-00 for information on corrosion removal.
Inspect each seat track. Refer to Figure 201 for acceptable corrosion limitations, which have been
established for the passenger compartment seat tracks.
If the minimum and maximum limitations shown in Figure 201 can not be met, contact Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation Technical Support.

C. Removal
CAUTION: Care should be taken when removing the passenger compartment seats. Excessive
damage to the seat track may lead to a costly seat track repair or replacement.

(1) Unlock the seat from the floor and side track at the sleeved retainers built into the chair legs
(Ref. Figure 202).

(2) Remove the seat from the track.

D. Installation
(1) Inspect the seat tracks for wear and corrosion. Refer to the PASSENGER SEAT TRACK WEAR
LIMITS and CORROSION ON THE SEAT TRACKS procedures in this section (Ref. Figure 202).

CAUTION: Care should be taken when installing the passenger compartment seats. Excessive
damage to the seat track may lead to a costly seat track repair or replacement.

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)
25-60-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The Model 1900 Airliner is equipped with either a NARCO or a DORNE AND MARGOLIN emergency locator
transmitter (ELT) to assist in tracking and recovery of the airplane, crew, and passengers in the event of a
crash or emergency landing. The ELT is mounted on the right side of the fuselage at a point just forward of
FS 598. Access to the ELT for replacement or repair is gained by removing the access panel located below
the right stabilon. A spring-loaded door is installed adjacent to the transmitter to provide access for manual
activation of the ELT. The antenna for the ELT is mounted on top of the fuselage under the dorsal fin at
FS 570.107. The output frequencies of the ELT are 121.5 and 243.0 MHz, simultaneously. Range is
approximate line of sight. The ARM-ON-OFF or TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch is located on the transmitter, and
controls the operation of the set. The ON or TEST position turns the set on for testing (the TEST switch is a
momentary on switch and will automatically turn off when released, the XMIT switch will continue to transmit
a signal as long as the switch is in this position), and the ARM or the AUTO position actuates the set to
operate the set automatically upon impact. A reset switch, located on the forward end of the transmitter,
resets the transmitter in the event the impact switch is accidentally triggered. An optional remove
ARM-ON-Off or TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch may be located on the instrument panel or in the aft fuselage on
the right side for use during ground testing of the ELT (Ref. Figure 1).

1. PROCEDURES

A. Maintenance
Maintenance on the ELT is normally limited to replacing the battery. The following is a list of various
conditions which warrant battery replacement:

(1) Visual inspection shows signs of leakage, corrosion or insecure leads.

(2) Elapsed replacement date noted on the battery case. (This date represents 50 percent of the
useful life of the battery.)

NOTE: The useful life of the battery is the length of time the battery may be stored without losing
its ability to continuously operate the ELT for 48 hours.

(3) After any emergency use.

(4) After one cumulative hour of use.

(5) After operation of unknown duration.

(6) If transmitter is stored in an area where the temperature is normally above 38°C (100°F.) the
battery should be replaced every 12 months.

CAUTION: Avoid storing the batteries at temperatures in excess of 55°C (130°F.)


The information on battery life and replacement is included in the data furnished with each ELT,
and is usually placarded on the battery.
NOTE: Replacement batteries should be obtained only from ELT and airplane manufacturers or
other acceptable suppliers, since the condition and useful life of over-the-counter
batteries, such as those sold for flashlights, portable radios etc., are usually unknown.
The ELT switch should not be turned to any activated position unless the ELT is
connected to its associated antenna or a 50 ohm dummy load.

B. Narco Battery Replacement


(1) Remove the access panel located just below the right stabilon.

(2) If equipped with the ARM-OFF-ON switch, place the switch in the OFF position. If equipped with
the TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch, ascertain that the switch is in the TEST position for automatic off
(Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Disconnect the antenna cable from the ELT.

(4) Disconnect the remote switch wiring (if installed) from the terminals on the ELT.

(5) Unlatch the mounting strap and remove the ELT from the airplane.

(6) Extend the portable antenna.

Page 201
25-60-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Exercise extreme care in extending the portable antenna and handling the control
head during the battery replacement to avoid damage to the antenna or the plastic tab
on the antenna.

(7) Remove the four screws attaching the control head to the battery casing and slide the control head
and battery case apart. The battery connection leads are approximately 3 inches long.

(8) Disconnect the battery by unsnapping the battery terminals from the bottom of the transmitter PC
board. Discard the old battery.

WARNING: DO NOT DISCARD THE OLD BATTERY IN FIRE.

(9) Connect the terminals of the new battery to the bottom of the transmitter PC board.

(10) Using a stick, apply a small bead of sealant (supplied with battery pack) around the area of the
control head which is joined with the battery case during assembly.

NOTE: This sealant provides a watertight seal when the unit is assembled.

(11) Insert the control head section into the battery case, being careful not to pinch the wires, and
install the four attaching screws. Wipe any excess sealant from the outside of the unit.

NOTE: If the four holes do not line up, rotate the battery case 180° and reinsert.

(12) Stow the portable antenna.

CAUTION: Exercise extreme care in order to avoid damage to the antenna or the plastic tab on
the antenna.

(13) Install the transmitter in the airplane and secure the mounting strap.

(14) Connect the fixed antenna cable to the ELT. Ensure that the plastic contact separator is inserted
between the portable antenna contact and the portable antenna.

NOTE: Should the contact separator be improperly installed, a very weak signal may be
transmitted. This signal may be strong enough for a functional test, but too weak for
emergency use.

(15) Connect the remote switch wiring, (if installed), to the terminals on the ELT.

(16) Press the RESET button and place the ARM-ON-OFF or the TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch on the ELT
in the ARM or the AUTO position.

(17) A new replacement date must be marked on the outside of the transmitter.

(18) If transmitter is stored in an area where the temperature is normally above 38°C (100°F.) the
battery should be replaced every 12 months.

This date represents 50% of the useful life of the battery as defined by the battery manufacturer.

(19) Position the access panel over its opening and secure.

(11) Install the ELT in the airplane and install the screws which hold it in place.

(12) Connect the antenna and remote switch.

(13) Install and secure the access panel.

(14) Test the ELT as indicated in the TESTING EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER procedure.

D. Testing the Emergency Locator Transmitter


Generally, tests will be performed following maintenance or repairs of ELTs, other than battery
replacement, to determine their operational capability. Testing the ELT, if improperly done, could trigger
false alerts and create frequency jamming, and may interfere with the reception of a bonafide
emergency transmission. Federal Communications Commission regulations require that testing be
performed in a screened or shielded test room, or in a test enclosure that will hold the self contained
ELT unit with the antenna fully extended.
CAUTION: The elt switch should not be activated to any position unless the elt is connected to its
associated antenna or a 50 ohm dummy load.
Operational testing of installed ELTs may be accomplished as follows:
NOTE: Tests should be no longer than three audio sweeps. One audio sweep may be defined as
amplitude modulating the carrier with an audio frequency sweeping downward over a range of
not less than 700Hz, within the range of 1600 to 300Hz, and a sweep repetition rate between
two and four Hz. Tests should be conducted only in the first five minutes after the hour. The
tests should be coordinated with the nearest FAA tower or flight service station.

(1) Turn on the VHF transceiver Comm-1 and tune the transceiver to 121.5 MHz.

(2) Turn the COMM-1 audio switch to the SPEAKER position and place the volume control in the
center of its range.

(3) Turn the ELT ARM-ON-OFF switch to ON or XMIT ON and monitor the ELT signal. On airplanes
equipped with an optional remote switch (located in the aft fuselage on the right side or on the
instrument panel), the switch may be flipped to the XMIT position and the ELT signal monitored.

NOTE: A distinctive downward sweeping tone should have been heard from the monitoring
receiver during the test. If the tone was heard, the ELT is functioning properly. If there was
no tone, (assuming that the VHF transceiver is operational), the battery is probably
disconnected, outdated or discharged.

(4) Place the ARM-OFF-ON switch on the ELT to the OFF or the TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch on the
ELT to the TEST position. If the remote switch is being utilized to test the unit, the switch should be
returned to the AUTO position. The audio signal should disappear completely.

(5) Place the ARM-ON-OFF or the TEST-AUTO-XMIT switch on the ELT to the ON or the AUTO
position. There should be no audio signal present.

NOTE: If a signal is heard, the impact switch has probably been activated and should be reset.

(6) Firmly press the reset switch on the front of the ELT and listen to ensure the audio signal
disappears from COMM-1.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
A fire detection system is installed to provide immediate warning in the event of a fire in the engine
compartment. The main elements of the system are the two thermal sensitive fire detection cables which are
joined at one end and routed about the engine in a continuous loop (Ref. Figure 1).
The routing of the cable has been determined in order to monitor various sections of the engine or other
temperature sensitive regions in which critical situations could develop. Arrangement of the fire detection
cables in a continuous loop enables the system to be monitored for open circuit conditions and should a
single break in the cable occur, the system would remain operational.
Either a rotary switch or two toggle switches provide for testing of the fire detection system during pre-take off
checks. Electrical power for the fire detection system is supplied by a 5-amp circuit breaker placarded FIRE
DETECT, located on the right side panel.
Should the airplane be equipped with the two toggle switches placarded ENG FIRE TEST - DETECT, one for
the LEFT system and one for the RIGHT system, the switches are three position switches spring loaded to
the center. The switch positions are placarded LOOP - OFF - AMP. When either toggle switch is placed in the
LOOP position, the integrity of the appropriate fire detection cable is tested. A good test is indicated by the
red lights in the appropriate FIRE PULL “T” handle being illuminated. When either toggle switch is placed in
the AMP position, the integrity of the circuitry within the control amplifier is tested. A good test is indicated by
the red lights in the appropriate FIRE PULL “T” handle being illuminated as in the loop test.
On airplanes equipped with the rotary test switch placarded TEST SWITCH - FIRE DET FIRE EXT, the right
and left systems are checked simultaneously by selecting either the FIRE position or the FAULT position.
Selecting the FIRE position tests the integrity of the circuitry within the amplifier. A good test is indicated by
the illumination of the red lights in the FIRE PULL “T” handles. Selecting the FAULT position tests the integrity
of the fire detection loops. A good test in this position is indicated by the illumination of the red lights in the
FIRE PULL “T” handles as before.
The two fire detection cables, one forward and one aft, are designed as a single center wire surrounded by a
semiconductive material and enclosed within a stainless steel sheath. As temperature increases, the
semiconductive material separating the center wire from the outer sheath becomes more conductive and the
resistance between the center wire and the outer sheath decreases. The outer sheath is grounded to the
airplane structure.
A control unit, mounted on the forward pressure bulkhead behind the LH subpanel, monitors resistance
between ground and the center wire of the fire detection cables and is set to trip when resistance between the
center wire of the cables and the sheath (ground) decreases to a certain point (approximately 100 ohms).
Once the control unit trips, a warning light in the firewall fuel shutoff valve handle illuminates, signaling a fire
in the engine compartment.
The control unit is of the short circuit discriminating type. The short circuit discriminator is designed to actuate
when the system resistance decreases rapidly from the normally high resistance of the cable.

1. PROCEDURES
Any time a fault is indicated by the cockpit test procedure, one of the two checkout procedures under
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES should be performed. Failure to perform one of these procedures may result in
identifying a failure in the wrong component.
Should the checkout procedure fail to reveal a fault in the fire detection loop, the fault may be assumed to be
in the control unit or its associated circuitry. When it is determined that no fault exists in the circuitry, including
the test switch circuits, the control unit should be replaced.
While the following troubleshooting table may not indicate all possible fault conditions, the most common
faults are listed in order of their most probable occurrence.

ENGINE BLEED AIR WARNING SYSTEM
26-11-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The engine bleed air warning system provides a visual indication of a rupture in the bleed air lines so that the
bleed air valve from the affected engine can be shut down before heat of the escaping air damages the skin
and structure adjacent to the break in the line. The bleed air lines are in close proximity with ethylene vinyl
acetate (EVA) tubing from the engines to the cabin. Excessive heat on the tubing, caused by a ruptured bleed
air line, will melt the tubing. The system has two pressure switches mounted just forward of the main spar
under the center cabin floorboard. The two switches are pressurized by air tapped off the line from the bleed
air manifold, mounted under the center floorboard forward of the main spar. Refer to Figure 201 in the
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES section for routing of the EVA tubing. When tubing melts and the tubing
pressure drops below pressure required to keep the pressure switch actuated, the normally open switch in
the line will close, causing a circuit to be completed to the respective BL AIR FAIL light in the warning
annunciator panel. When indication of bleed air failure becomes evident, bleed air for that side must be
turned off by placing the respective bleed air valve switch in the INST ENVIR OFF position. When the switch
is placed in this position, the engine firewall shutoff valve closes, stopping bleed air flow at the engine firewall.
Each time the system is actuated, EVA tubing in the area where the damage occurred must be replaced
when the bleed air line is repaired.

D. Tubing Repair
If a malfunction in the bleed air system, has occurred and warning system has been activated, the
ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) tubing must be repaired. The damaged area is repaired by splicing with a
piece of aluminum tubing no more than four inches long. The splicing aluminum tube (128, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) may be 5052 or 6061, 3/16-inch O.D. with 0.028 or 0.035-inch wall thickness. If the
EVA tubing has stretched because of aging or creeping, additional standoffs or clamping may need to
be installed. Use the same type of standoff or cushion clamp as the original installation. A distance of
two to four inches must be maintained between the EVA tube and the source of heat. If the
two-inch-minimum distance can not be maintained, the tube may be insulated with the same type of
insulation as used in the original installation. Cut the insulation lengthwise, install on the tubing and
secure with a TYZ-28M tie wrap. The repair must be accomplished per Kit No.114-9021-1 or as follows:

(1) Locate damaged EVA tubing.

(2) Remove panels as necessary to gain access.

(3) Cut out damaged EVA tubing (not to exceed three inches).

(4) Cut aluminum tubing to proper length.

NOTE: If Beading the aluminum tubing is not possible, bond tube in place with Uralane 8089. If
the splice is bonded in place, exercise care to avoid plugging the tube with adhesive.

(5) Bead each end of aluminum tubing.

(6) Insert each end of the aluminum tube 1/2 to 3/4 inch into EVA tubing.

(7) Clamp each end of tubing in place.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
26-20-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
A fire extinguisher supply cylinder is mounted on brackets aft of the main spar in each wheel well of each
main landing gear. Each cylinder is charged with 2.10 pounds of Bromotrifluoromethane (CBrF3) pressurized
to 360 psi +25/ -0 psi at 70°F. The line from the cylinder runs along the side of the nacelle and branches into
two spray tubes strategically located about the engine to diffuse the extinguishing agent in the event of a fire.
One of the nozzles is positioned to discharge into the engine exhaust area and the other discharges into the
accessory area. Once activated, the entire supply of extinguishing agent is discharged. The fire extinguisher
control switches used to activate the system are located on the glareshield at each end of the warning
annunciator panel. Their power is derived from the hot battery bus through the microswitches mounted on the
firewall fuel shutoff valve. The push-to-activate switches incorporate three indicator lights. The red lens,
placarded L or R ENG. FIRE PUSH TO EXT., indicates that the firewall fuel shutoff valve has been actuated,
thus arming the fire extinguisher pushbutton circuitry. A green lens, placarded OK, is provided only for the
test functions for preflight. The amber lens, placarded D, monitors the condition of the pyrotechnic cartridge
and status of the cylinder charge. As long as the cartridge is intact and the cylinder is not discharged, the
amber light will remain off. When the cartridge is fired, the light will come on and will remain on until the
cartridge is replaced.
The airplanes are equipped with either a single rotary switch placarded TEST SWITCH - FIRE DETECT FIRE
EXT or two toggle switches placarded ENG FIRE TEST - EXT TEST, one for the LEFT system and one for
the RIGHT system installed in the copilot's inboard subpanel. These switches are for the purpose of testing
the circuitry of the fire extinguisher pyrotechnic cartridges (Ref. Figure 201, Maintenance Practices section).
Should the airplane be equipped with the two ENG FIRE TEST toggle switches, the switches are moved to
the EXT TEST position while verifying the illumination of the appropriate yellow D light and the appropriate
green OK light on each fire extinguisher activation switch on the glareshield. The toggle switches are spring
loaded and will return automatically to the center OFF position.
On airplanes equipped with the rotary ENG FIRE TEST switch, the pilot should rotate the test switch to each
of the two positions (RIGHT EXT and LEFT EXT) and verify the illumination of the appropriate yellow D light
and the appropriate green OK light on each fire extinguisher activation switch on the glareshield.

3. BLEED AIR WARNING SWITCHES

A. Check For Proper Electrical Connection


To confirm that the left and right bleed air warning switches have not become cross connected during
maintenance, perform the following check:

(1) Remove the center floorboard forward of the main spar to gain access to the pressure switches.

(2) Locate the left and right bleed air warning pressure switches [S128] and [S129] (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Locate the switch that connects to the plastic EVA warning line that goes into the RH wing.

(4) Confirm that this switch is connected to connector P242 which should contain wire no’s. W2A22
and W4A22.

WARNING: The fire extinguisher supply cylinder is a pressurized container. Refer to the
appropriate overhaul manual for complete instructions on how to remove,
disassemble, and empty a fire extinguisher. Failure to comply with the above,
and to instructions given in the overhaul manual could cause injury to
personnel and/or damage to equipment.
A fire extinguisher past the due date for hydrostatic testing can not be used unless it is emptied
and hydrostatically tested per the DOT specifications and the pressure gage has been shown to
indicate proper charge. If the container is pressurized when removed from the airplane, it can be
shipped to a recharge station, still pressurized, providing there is no evidence of visible damage,
such as dents deeper than 1/16 inch per inch of average dent diameter or scratches deeper than
0.004 inch. The station must then hydrostatically test the container before recharging and
returning it to the user.

FLIGHT CONTROLS
GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL
All flight controls, with the exception of the flaps, are cable-operated conventional surfaces which require no
power assistance for normal control by the pilot or copilot. The flaps and optional elevator trim are electrically
powered. The yaw dampening system is to aid the pilot with directional control.
All primary flight control surfaces are manually controlled through cable-pulley-bellcrank systems. Dual
controls are provided for operation by either the pilot or the copilot. The ailerons and elevators are operated
by conventional control wheels interconnected by a “T” shaped control column. Rudder pedals are
interconnected by a linkage below the flight compartment floor. Rudder bellcranks are adjustable to two
positions which move the rudder pedals approximately one inch forward or aft. Surface travel stops and
linkage adjustments are incorporated into each cable-pulley-bellcrank system.
Ailerons, elevators and rudder may be secured with control locks installed in the flight compartment when the
airplane is on the ground and out of service.
Two flaps installed on each wing are operated by an electric motor-driven gearbox mounted on the forward
side of the rear spar at the centerline of the airplane. The gearbox drives four flexible drive shafts, each
connected to an Acme-thread-type jackscrew at each flap. A flap limit safety switch is provided to disconnect
power to the electric motor in the event of any type of failure which causes any flap to be 3° to 6° out of phase
with the adjacent flap. The flaps are controlled by a lever mounted in the pedestal. Flap lever detents are
provided to select UP, TAKEOFF, APPROACH and LANDING flap positions. Wing flap position is shown by
an indicator located in the pedestal near the flap control lever. The indicator is controlled by a flap position
potentiometer which is actuated by the right inboard flap.
Trim tabs are installed on the left aileron, the rudder and on each elevator. The tabs are manually controlled
by the pilot through drum-cable systems using jackscrew actuators. The tabs are driven by the actuators
through an adjustable double clevis rod assembly capable of removing joint free play. Tab position indicators
are provided on the pedestal tab controls.
The optional electric-motor-driven elevator trim tabs are activated by a control switch on the outboard handle
of each control wheel. A downspring and bob weight are incorporated into the elevator control system for
improved stability.
Positive stops on the primary flight control surfaces limit their travel, while traveling stops secured to the
cables limit trim tab movement. Proper safetying of the trim tab cable stops prevents their loosening and
moving on the cables. Because the cables are connected together with turnbuckles, each cable has a left-
and right-threaded cable end. Proper winding of the cables on the pedestal and actuator drums ensures
against crossing the cables and causing improper trim tab movement.
Refer to the applicable rigging procedures for details regarding chain and cable tension, control wheel
movement and force, down spring force and systems friction.

disconnecting the aileron control column cables.

(10) Disconnect the aileron control column cables.

(11) Remove the left and right taper pins (12) from the aft side of the universal joint (11) and disconnect
the torque tubes (1) (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: The radio panel, in the center of the instrument panel, may need to be removed for
clearance (Ref. Chapter 39-10-00, INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL PANELS).

(12) Remove the control column mounting bolts (8). Raise the control column (10) and support in place
using a dowel rod inserted into the lower tube (support arm crossmember just forward of the
bearing supports).

(13) Carefully remove rivets and remove the bearing support (6). Refer to the Model 1900 Airliner
Series Structural Repair Manual.

(14) Inspect the bearing supports (6) and the support arm (5) for damage. Inspect for damage in the
adjacent area and ensure that the proper edge margin for the bearing support and the support arm
is maintained.

(15) If necessary, drill the support arm and bearing support attach holes to 0.159 to 0.164-inch
diameter.

NOTE: It is recommended that the bearing support attach rivets be installed with the
manufactured (resultant) head of the rivet on the inboard side of the support arm.

(16) Attach each bearing support (6) to the support arm (5) on the control column with 6 CR3213-5

1. PROCEDURES

A. Travel Boards
Travel boards are used to aid in rigging of the primary and secondary control surfaces. A list of Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation approved travel boards are found in Table 201.
Travel boards for the primary control surfaces are constructed of aluminum with phenolic or nylon
locating stops to set the travel board on the control surface. Once these stops are located on the
surface, zero position and surface limits can be read on the respective boards.
Travel boards for the secondary surfaces (trim tabs) are made from stainless steel. These “wedge” style
travel boards are designed to nest on the primary control surface adjacent to the trim tab. The trim tab
zero position and the trim tab surface limits can be read on the respective boards.
Travel boards provided as ship sets may have Hawker Beechcraft Corporation internal model
designation assigned. Model 1900 is equivalent to UA serial aircraft. Model 1900C is equivalent to UB
serial aircraft. Model 1900C-1 is equivalent to UC serial aircraft.

M. Flap Travel Board Installation


The Flap Travel Board (8, Table 201) is mounted on the top of the wing and is used to measure the
travel of the inboard flaps through its full range (Ref. Figure 209, 210 and 211).

(1) Determine WS 60.52 on the trailing edge wing skin by measuring 14.02 inches outboard from the
center line of the inboard flap, inboard flap track (2), along the trailing edge of the wing skin (3).
Mark the location to identify WS 60.52 (Ref. Figure 209).

(2) Determine WS 60.52 on the main spar using the following Steps (Ref. Figure 210):

(a) For the right side, locate the line of screws (4) at approximately 29 inches outboard from the
fuselage (5). Measure from the center of the line of screws 0.5 inch inboard and mark the
location.

(b) For the left side, locate the line of screws (4) at approximately 28 inches outboard from the
fuselage (5). Measure from the center of the line of screws 0.5 inch outboard and mark the
location.

(3) Starting from WS 60.52, position the Flap Travel Board (8) by moving it outboard until the
mounting brackets (9) align with the first set of screw holes along the main spar (3) (1.50 inches
offset maximum). Verify the aft edge of the Flap Travel Board (7) is moved outboard the same
distance as the forward edge of the Flap Travel Board (10).

2. TRAVEL BOARD CERTIFICATION


Travel boards are certified for 24 months or ten uses whichever occurs later from the date of original
certification, and are required to be recertified every 24 months or 10 uses, whichever occurs later, thereafter.
The following certification requirements are intended for Hawker Beechcraft Corporation approved travel
boards only (Ref. Table 201).
Once travel boards are certified, it is the responsibility of the owner/operator to keep proper records of
certification and subsequent recertification. If a travel board encounters a “catastrophic event” (i.e. dropped or
damaged in such a way that could affect the measurements), it is required that the travel board be recertified
immediately.
These procedures are intended for Hawker Beechcraft Corporation approved travel boards only and are not
to be used for fabricating travel boards.

A. Recommended Materials/Equipment For Certification*


(1) Surface Table.

(2) Height Gage.

(3) 12” Knee Blocks.

(4) Clamps (to hold down boards).

(5) Adjustable Parallel bar.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Removal (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Only the left aileron incorporates an aileron trim tab. The aileron trim tab pushrod connects directly to
the actuator mounted forward of the rear spar. The hinge brackets inserted between the aileron skin and
spar are secured with four screws. The aileron pushrod is connected to one hinge bracket to transmit
movements to the aileron.

(1) Install a red tag to the pilots control wheel with the words “Do not Operate, Maintenance in
Progress”.

(2) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER REMOVAL procedure (Ref. Chapter 23-60-00) on the aileron to
be removed.

(3) On the LH aileron, remove the bolt, washers and nut connecting the underside of the aileron trim
tab to the push-pull rod from the aileron trim tab actuator. The double-clevis ends on the trim tab
actuator push-pull rod are designed to tighten the outer clevis with a binding action against the
clevis bolt and the inner clevis, which removes freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Loosen the outer
clevis first (the larger nut) before removing the clevis bolt.

(4) Remove the double clevis end of the push-pull rod so that the push-pull rod will pass though the
left side aileron during removal.

(5) Remove screws (11), washers (2) and nuts (1) attaching bonding jumpers (7) to aileron (13) at the
outboard, middle and inboard hinge points (Ref. Figure 201).

(6) While providing support at each end of the aileron, remove screws (9) from the top and bottom
surface of aileron (13) at the outboard, middle and inboard hinge points.

(7) Remove the aileron (13) from the wing. Take care not to damage the skin while removing the trim
tab actuator push-pull rod from the LH aileron and aileron trim tab assembly.

B. Installation (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure for AILERON INSTALLATION could result in
partial/complete loss of the aileron resulting in degradation of flying qualities and or
loss of control of the aircraft.
NOTE: Any repair, modification, painting or replacement of the aileron or aileron trim tab requires
balancing (Ref. Chapter 57-50-00).

(1) Prepare the area where the bonding cables attach for electrical bonding (Ref. Chapter 20-00-01,
PREPARATION OF SURFACE).

(2) On the LH aileron (13), carefully guide the aileron trim tab push-pull rod through the aileron (13)

halves (6) on the wing. Then loosely install two screws (9) (one screw in the top and one in the
bottom) through each hinge point. Pull on the aileron to confirm that the screws (9) are properly
installed.

NOTE: If there is no movement when the aileron is pulled on, the bolts are properly installed.

(4) Install screws (9) to the top and bottom surface of the aileron (13) at the outboard, middle and
inboard hinge points.

(5) Install screws (11), washers (2) and nuts (1) attaching the bonding jumpers (7) to the aileron (13)
at the outboard, middle and inboard hinge points.

WARNING: Any time the aileron trim tab push-pull rods are installed or adjusted, the
inspection holes near the ends of the rods must be checked to ascertain that
the threads of the end fittings are visible.

(6) Install the double clevis end of the trim tab actuator push-pull rod, so that the push-pull rod
assembly is 8.58 ± 0.06 inches from the centerline of the mounting hole of both clevis ends.

(7) On the left-hand aileron, connect the trim tab actuator push-pull rod to the horn on the aileron trim
tab.

NOTE: The double-clevis ends on the trim tab actuator push-pull rod are designed to tighten the
outer clevis with a binding action against the clevis bolt and the inner clevis, which
removes freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Install the clevis bolt and tighten the large jam nut
on the outer clevis.
With the flaps fully retracted and the aileron in the neutral position, the clearances noted
must be maintained (Ref. Figure 203). The gap between the aileron and the outboard flap
should be constant within ± 0.06 inch from the leading edge to the trailing edge. These
dimensions do not apply to the lower forward area where the aileron tapers outboard.

(8) Remove the red tag from the pilots control wheel.

(9) Perform the AILERON FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure (Ref. 27-10-03).

(10) Perform the AILERON TRIM TAB FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure (Ref. 27-10-07).

(11) Perform the AILERON FREEPLAY CHECK procedure in this section.

(12) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 23-60-00).

C. Removal (UC-1 and After)


The aileron is operated by an arm on the aileron bellcrank located at the inboard end of each aileron.
The arm is connected through a tapered pin to a hinged yoke mounted in the aileron just inboard of the
inboard aileron hinge.
Only the left aileron incorporates an aileron trim tab. The aileron trim tab push-pull rod connects directly
to the actuator mounted on the aft side of the rear spar.

be removed.

NOTE: Do not disturb the adjustment of the rod end on the push-pull rod.

(3) On the LH aileron, remove the bolt, washers and nut connecting the underside of the aileron trim
tab to the push-pull rod from the aileron trim tab actuator. The double-clevis ends on the trim tab
actuator push-pull rod are designed to tighten the outer clevis with a binding action against the
clevis bolt and the inner clevis, which removes freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Loosen the outer
clevis first (the larger nut) before removing the clevis bolt.

(4) Remove screws (9), washers (5) and nuts (4) attaching the bonding jumpers (6) to the aileron (13)
at the outboard, middle and inboard hinge points (Ref. Figure 202).

2. AILERON GROUND ADJUSTABLE TRIM TAB

A. Adjustment
NOTE: If wing heavy condition cannot be corrected using this procedure alone the FLAP
ADJUSTMENT TO CORRECT A WING HEAVY CONDITION procedure (Ref. 27-50-05) may
be used in conjunction with this procedure.

(1) Perform the AILERON FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure to ensure proper aileron system
operation prior to performing the following procedure (Ref. 27-10-03).

(2) Perform the FLAP SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure to ensure proper flap alignment
prior to performing the following procedure (Ref. 27-50-05).

NOTE: The aileron ground adjustable trim tab is located on the right aileron only and is used to
correct aileron load with the aileron trim set to zero (Ref. Figure 207).

(3) The line of rivets on the trailing edge of the aileron should be stabilized while the bendable trim tab
is being adjusted. This will reduce the risk of bending the aileron trailing edge out of symmetry as
well as causing paint to crack. A shop aid used to stabilize the trailing edge can be built by
performing the following Steps:

(a) Figure 208 shows a top and bottom rivet brace that fits over the rivet line and are clamped by
toggle pliers. Fabricate both rivet braces by cutting two iron bars to the dimensions shown in
Figure 208. The top and bottom rivet braces are identical in form.

(b) Obtain two pair of toggle pliers and weld the lower jaw of each pliers to a corresponding cut
out in one of the rivet braces as shown in Figure 209 Sheet 1. The rivet brace must be
oriented with the slot facing up and the aft surface facing the pliers (Ref. Figure 209 Sheets 1
thru 3).

(c) Drill out and tap the ends of the toggle pliers upper jaws to accept a three inch bolt with a

direction that will yield correct aileron movement. The short end (left-hand thread
terminal end (11)) wraps over the top of the bellcrank (5) and the long end
(right-hand thread terminal end (12)) wraps under the bottom of the bellcrank (5)
(Ref. Figure 205).

(1) Install the aileron outboard cable on the bellcrank as follows:

(a) Locate the right-hand (left-hand for kit 118-5001-1) threads terminal end (11) and wrap it
over the top of the bellcrank (5) (Ref. Figure 205).

(b) Place the cable ball (3) in the cable ball slot (10) in the bellcrank (5).

(c) Install two roll pins (1) into the holes in the bellcrank (5).

(d) Install 0.032-inch diameter safety wire (2).

(2) Install the bellcrank (5) with bolt and washer (6).

(3) Torque Bolt (6) from 50 to 70 inch-pounds and safety wire with 0.032 safety wire (8).

(4) Tension the aileron wing cables sufficient to prevent slack.

(5) Visually check to ensure the cables are properly seated in all pulleys.

(6) Remove the cable blocks (11) from the aileron wing inboard cables (Ref. Figure 204).

(7) Visually check to ensure that aileron wing bellcrank travel responds properly to the control wheel
movement by performing the following:

6. YOKE ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The AILERON YOKE ASSEMBLY and the AILERON BELLCRANK ASSEMBLY may be inspected at
the same interval to satisfy the inspection requirements outlined in Chapter 5.

A. Checks (UC-1 and After)


(1) Perform the AILERON REMOVAL procedure (Ref. 27-10-00).

(2) Move the yoke assembly side to side to check bearings (4 and 7) for corrosion, looseness and
smoothness of rotation. If bearings need to be replaced, perform AILERON-YOKE BEARING
REMOVAL and AILERON-YOKE BEARING INSTALLATION procedures in this section
(Ref. Figure 206 and 207).

(3) Measure the diameter of the taper pin (12) in the area that engages the bellcrank bearing.
Measure the inside diameter of the bearing. The inside diameter of the bearing minus the diameter
of the taper pin should not exceed 0.005 inch. If the difference exceeds 0.005 inch, it must be
determined which part(s) needs to be replaced by comparing the existing part dimensions to new
part dimensions. A new pin measures 0.3742 / 0.3737 inch diameter in the area that engages into
the bellcrank bearing. A new bearing inside diameter measures 0.3750 / 0.3745 inch. It is
permissible to allow these parts to wear beyond the new part tolerances; however, the 0.005 inch
difference between the two diameters should not be exceeded.

(4) If taper pin needs to be replaced, perform AILERON-YOKE TAPER PIN REMOVAL and
AILERON-YOKE TAPER PIN INSTALLATION procedure in this section.

B. Bearing Removal (UC-1 and After)

1. PROCEDURES

A. Rigging (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


WARNING: Perform all Steps of this procedure, in the order listed. Do not skip any Steps of this
procedure. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel and damage to
equipment.
CAUTION: Where the cables pass through structure, the areas of possible contact between the control
cables and adjacent structure must be protected with protective elements such as
grommets, rub strips, blocks or guide fairings. Where contact of control cables does occur
with the protective elements, a force no greater than eight (8) ounces shall be required to
move the cable to a position of no contact. At no time should flight control cables contact
metal structure with the protective elements removed.
NOTE: Do not connect the actuating components of the autopilot until all flight control systems have
been properly rigged. This will permit aileron forces to be measured properly.

(1) Remove the pilot’s seat (Ref. Chapter 25-10-00, SEAT REMOVAL).

(2) Remove the control column boot located forward of the pedestal.

(3) Remove passenger compartment seats as required to access floor access panels 16C and 16E
(Ref. Chapter 25-20-00, PASSENGER SEAT REMOVAL).

(4) Remove passenger compartment carpet as required to access floor access panels 16C and 16E
(Ref. Chapter 25-20-01).

(5) Remove floor access panels 16C and 16E (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, FLOOR ACCESS PANELS).

(6) Remove left and right lower wing access panels 7, 44, 45, 46 and 47 as required (Ref. Chapter
6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS).

(7) Remove left and right upper wing access panels 29 and 30 as required (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00,
WING ACCESS PANELS).

NOTE: One travel board may be used and moved from one side to the other.

(8) Perform the AILERON TRAVEL BOARD INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. 27-00-02). Apply tape to
the wing surface to mark the location of the travel board feet ensuring proper location when
moving the travel board from one side to the other.

(9) If equipped, identify, tag and disconnect the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) Flight Data
Recorder (FDR) sensor bridle clamp located on the aileron fuselage cables. Refer to the STC
holders instructions.

(10) If equipped, disconnect the autopilot aileron servo cable from the aileron quadrant (Ref. Chapter
22-10-00, AILERON SERVO BRIDLE CABLE REMOVAL).

(d) Install rig pin (1) (7, Table 1, 27-00-00) through the aileron quadrant support bracket (2) and
the aileron quadrant (3) (Ref. Figure 204).

(4) Apply tape (for paint protection) on the top surface of the trim tab at a point 2.50 inches aft of the
trim tab hinge line along the centerline of the trim tab actuator. This will be the point of pressure
against the trim tab by the push-pull scale.

(5) Apply tape in the corresponding position on the bottom surface of the trim tab for the same
purpose.

WARNING: Ensure the trim tab freeplay check fixture (1) is securely attached to the aileron
(4) before releasing supporting pressure to prevent damage to equipment and
injury to personnel (Ref. Figure 203).

(6) Secure the trim tab freeplay check fixture (1) to the aileron (4) so that the dial indicator stem (5) tip
is positioned on the top surface of the aileron trim tab (3) 2.50-inches aft of the trim tab hinge line
on the outboard edge of the aileron trim tab (3).

(4) Install rig pin (2) (7, Table 1, 27-00-00) in the rudder aft torque shaft (1) (Ref. Figure 202).

NOTE: The double clevis ends on the tab actuator push-pull rod is designed to tighten the outer
clevis with a binding action against the clevis bolt and the inner clevis, which removes
freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Loosen the outer clevis first (the larger nut) before
removing the clevis bolt.

(5) Disconnect the rudder tab actuator push-pull rod (do not change adjustment of the rod) and align
the tab trailing edge with the rudder trailing edge. Secure the rudder tab surface to the rudder
surface.

(6) Attach a scale (8) or dial indicator (1) to the travel board so the left and right movement can be
measured at the trailing edge (Ref. Figure 203).

(7) Apply a small piece of masking tape (for paint protection) on the right hand side of the rudder 1
inch forward of the rudder trailing edge just above the rudder trim tab (9). This will be the point of
pressure against the rudder (3) by the push-pull scale.

(8) Apply another piece of masking tape in the corresponding position on the left side of the rudder for
the same purpose.

(9) Position the dial indicator (1) so the stem (2) is 0.50 inch forward of the trailing edge of the rudder
and is depressed 0.10 inch when in contact with the rudder (3) surface initially. Turn the rotating
face of the dial indicator (1) to zero. Do not reset during the checking procedure.

(10) With a push-pull scale (6, Table 1, 27-00-00) against the right side of the rudder (3), apply four
pounds of load. Record the dial reading.

(11) With a push-pull scale (6, Table 1, 27-00-00) against the left side of the rudder (3), apply four
pounds of load. Record the dial reading.

NOTE: The maximum freeplay travel limit is the total difference between the dial reading of Steps
(10) and (11).

(12) The maximum freeplay travel limit is 0.12 inch. Excess movement must be corrected.

(13) If freeplay limits are exceeded, inspect all components for cracks and wear, repair or replace as
required.

(14) Connect the rudder tab actuator push-pull rod (do not change adjustment of the rod) to the rudder
trim tab (9) using bolt, washer and nut.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Stability Augmentation System (Yaw Damper)


The Stability Augmentation Computer System is installed on airplanes not equipped with an autopilot, to
aid the pilot with directional control (yaw damper).
The yaw damper portion of this computer system senses changes in compass headings, which it
converts into directions sent to the electric rudder servo. The electric rudder servo in turn operates the
rudder control cables, moving the rudder in the appropriate direction to stabilize the yaw axis of the
airplane.
To activate the yaw damper portion of this system, the pedestal mounted yaw damper control switch
must be moved to the YAW DAMP position. Activation of this system also requires that the airplane's
MASTER SWITCH-BATT switch be in the ON position and either No. 1 or No. 2 inverter be selected.
The system may be disengaged by momentarily pressing the control wheel mounted YD DISC switch.
A test circuit, which tests the functional integrity of the yaw damper system, is an integral function of the
computer and is energized by pressing the YD ENGAGE annunciator light on the instrument panel. A
positive test of the yaw damper system is indicated when the YD ENGAGE annunciator is extinguished
and the yaw damper system is disengaged. In order to engage the yaw damper system after testing, the
yaw damper switch must then be returned to the YAW DAMP position.
If the airplane is equipped with a Hawker Beechcraft Corporation installed autopilot, the autopilot will
incorporate the yaw damper capabilities. Refer to the appropriate autopilot flight manual supplement for
details which may vary from the above description.
Refer to Figure 1 for Yaw Damper System Wiring Diagram.

(11) Perform the ELEVATOR INBOARD, CENTER AND OUTBOARD HINGE INSPECTION procedure
in this section. Repair or replace parts as required.

B. Installation
WARNING: Any time the push-pull rods are installed or adjusted, the inspection hole near the
ends of the push-pull rods must be checked to ascertain that the threads of the end
fittings are visible.
NOTE: Any repair, modification, painting, or replacement of the elevator or tab will require balancing
(Ref. Chapter 55-20-00, BALANCING PROCEDURES).
If the same elevator is being installed that was removed, inspected in accordance with the
ELEVATOR INBOARD, CENTER AND OUTBOARD HINGE INSPECTION procedure in this
section and no maintenance has been performed upon this elevator, then proceed to Step (2).

(1) Perform the ELEVATOR INBOARD, CENTER AND OUTBOARD HINGE INSPECTION procedure
in this section. Repair or replace parts as required.

(2) If hinge bolts (6), nuts, washers, and cotter pin (10) were loosened or replaced, they must be
tightened to a torque of 40 to 50 inch-pounds. Start the procedure at the inboard hinge and work
outboard to the outboard hinge. After torquing, the bolt shall not rotate under 15 to 20 inch-pounds
of torque applied to the bolt. It is permissible to tighten to 60 inch-pounds if cotter pin holes do not
align. Do not loosen the nut to align cotter pin holes. If torque requirements cannot be met, add or
remove washers as required and repeat this Step (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: The bolts (3) must be installed with the heads up. Ensure the bolts (3) and bushings (11)
are installed in the position noted in the ELEVATOR REMOVAL procedure.

(3) With assistance, guide the elevator (1) into position on the horizontal stabilizer. Ensure all hinges
are aligned. Install the attaching bolts (3), bushings (11), washers and nuts (5). Do not tighten at
this time.

(4) Install bolt (4), washers (7), and safety wire bracket (2). A gap of 0.060 to 0.092 inch must be
maintained between the support bracket (8) and the safety wire bracket (2). Use AN960-516 or
AN960-516L washers as required to control the noted gap. It is permissible to install one
AN960-516 or AN960-516L washer between the support bracket (8) and the torque tube (9); if this
is done, a NAS1305-23H bolt must be used in place of the NAS1305-22H bolt. When the above
conditions are satisfied, torque the bolt to 56 to 78 inch-pounds (Ref. Figure 202).

(5) Torque the inboard hinge bracket mount bolt first and work outboard to the outboard hinge
bracket. Torque the mount bolts (3) 50 to 80 inch-pounds. After torquing, the bolt shall not rotate
when 25 to 35 inch-pounds of torque is applied to the bolt (3). If requirements can not be met
replace the mount bolt, nut, washer and bushing (3, 5 and 11) and repeat this Step (Ref. Figure
201).

Page 203
27-30-02 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Do not measure the tension when the temperature is varying rapidly or with the
airplane located in direct sunlight.

(b) Measure the temperature in the compartment next to the elevator cables (3 and 4) near the
turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).

(c) Refer to Figure 202, Elevator Cable Tension Graph, and read the pounds of tension for the
measured temperature.

(d) Position a cable tensiometer (4, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the turnbuckles
(1 and 2) and measure the cable tension of both cables (3 and 4) (Ref. Figure 206). Cable
diameter is noted in Figure 202.

(e) Record the values as T up (aft cable) and T down (fwd cable). Calculate the combined
(average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and divide by two.
Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.

NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within a ± 8 pounds tolerance of the tension
found in Figure 202.
Cable tension adjustments, if needed, are performed later in this procedure. Do not
adjust tension at this time.

(15) Check that the forward elevator bellcrank is synchronized with the aft elevator bellcrank by
performing the following Steps:

(a) Install a rig pin in the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin hole (1). The rig pin should be inserted
through the forward elevator bellcrank (4) with minimum forward and aft force of the control
column (Ref. Figure 207). If rig pin can not be installed with minimum forward and aft force of
the control column, proceed to Step (18).

(b) Visually inspect to ensure that the rig pin is properly installed through the forward elevator
bellcrank rig pin hole (3) to ensure that both the forward and aft elevator bellcranks are
synchronized (Ref. Figure 201).

(c) Raise and lower the forward rig pin while trying to move the control column forward and aft.
The rig pin should move with minimum movement of the control column.

(d) Remove the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin.

(16) If the tension meets requirements per Step (14) (e) and the forward rig pin can be installed per
Step (15) (a), proceed to Step (19) and continue checking the Elevator System.

(17) If the tension does not meet requirements per Step (14) (e) and/or the forward elevator bellcrank
rig pin cannot be installed per Step (15) (a), proceed to Step (18) for adjustment.

WARNING: Changing the cable tension may affect other parts of the elevator system. Do
not adjust the cable tension per Step (18) only. If the cable tension must be
adjusted, the elevator system must be rigged per the entire ELEVATOR
CONTROL SYSTEM RIGGING procedure.

(18) If adjustment is needed, perform the following Steps:

(a) Remove safety clips (5) from the elevator turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).

Page 204
Nov 1/13 27-30-02
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING: When relaxing cable tension, do not relax cable tension below 10 pounds.
If cable tension is below 10 pounds, check all elevator system pulleys for
proper cable engagement.

(b) Install the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin. If necessary, with the aft elevator bellcrank
pinned, slowly relax tension of the turnbuckles until the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin can
be installed.

(c) With the forward and aft elevator bellcranks rig pins installed, position a cable tensiometer
(4, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the turnbuckles and measure the cable
tension of both cables. Cable diameter is noted in Figure 202. Both cables should be at the
nominal tension value ± 2 pounds found in Figure 202.

(d) Adjust the cable tension by adjusting each turnbuckle (1 and 2) to the tension value ± 2
pounds needed at the current temperature found in Figure 202. The turnbuckles (1 and 2)
must be adjusted in opposite directions to achieve the cable tensions (Ref. Figure 206).

NOTE: (Information Only) The down cable tension is increased and the up cable tension is
decreased at this time, because the bobweight will change the cable tension when
the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin is removed.

(e) Increase the forward (down) elevator cable tension by 1/2 additional turn. Decrease the aft
(up) elevator cable tension by 1/2 turn. Both turnbuckles will be adjusted in the same
direction.

(f) Measure the elevator cable tensions to verify that the forward (down) elevator cable tension
has increased and the aft (up) elevator cable tension has decreased. If this has not been
achieved, return to Step (18) (d). If this has been achieved, proceed to Step (18) (g).

(g) Remove the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin.

(h) Position a cable tensiometer (4, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the turnbuckles
and measure the cable tension of both cables. Cable diameter is noted in Figure 202.

(i) Record the values as T up (aft cable) and T down (fwd cable). Calculate the combined
(average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and divide by two.
Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.

NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within a ± 8 pounds tolerance of the tension
found in Figure 202.

(j) If the combined cable tension (Tc) is above the maximum, repeat Step (18) and set the cable
tensions slightly lower while meeting the requirements of each Step.

(k) If the combined cable tension (Tc) is below the minimum, repeat Step (18) and set the cable
tensions slightly higher while meeting the requirements of each Step.

(l) Install safety clips (5) on the turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).

27-30-02 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(m) Example:
The cable tension was found to be low. With the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin installed, the
cable tension did not need to be relaxed when installing the forward elevator bellcrank rig
pin. The temperature is measured at 59° Fahrenheit. Figure 202 shows 66 pounds as the
desired tension. Each turnbuckle is turned one to two turns tighter. The tension is still low, so
each turnbuckle is turned another turn tighter. With both rig pins installed, the cable tension
of the forward cable is 68 pounds and the aft cable is 65 pounds, so both cables are within
± 2 pounds of the 66 pounds per Figure 202. The forward elevator cable turnbuckle is
tightened 1/2 additional turn. The aft elevator cable turnbuckle is loosened 1/2 turn. The
tensions of both cables are measured to verify that the forward cable tension increased and
the aft cable tension decreased. The forward elevator bellcrank rig pin is removed and the
cable tension is measured. The up (aft) cable measures 57 pounds and the down (forward)
cable tension measures 75 pounds. The combined tension is calculated:

Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2
Example:
T up = 57 lbs, T down = 75 lbs
Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2
Tc = 57 + 75 = 132 = 66 lbs = acceptable
2 2

(19) Verify that the safety clips (5) are installed on both turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).

(20) Remove the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin (3) (Ref. Figure 208).

(21) With assistance, manually push up on the elevator surface until the elevator control horns contact
the up stop bolts in the tail. Use a go/no-go scale (8, Table 1, 27-00-00) to verify that the forward
elevator bellcrank up stop bolt (5) has a 0.37 ± 0.06 inch clearance from the stop bracket (4)
located in the structure (Ref. Figure 201).

CAUTION: Carefully lower the elevator surface. Do not allow the elevator to free fall to the down
position. This could cause damage to the elevator system.

(22) Apply clay to the forward elevator down stop bolt (6) and slowly lower the elevator surface until the
elevator control horns rest on the down stop bolts in the tail. Verify that the forward elevator
bellcrank down stop bolt (6) has a 0.31 +0.12/ -0 inch clearance from the stop bolt (1) located in
the structure.

(23) If adjustment is needed, loosen the jam nut(s) (7) on the stop bolt(s) (5 and/or 6) and adjust the
bolt(s). Check the clearance. When adjustment is completed, tighten the stop bolt jam nut(s) (7).

D. Operational Check
CAUTION: With the control column pulled to the aft position, allowing the control column to free fall to
the forward position can cause damage to the elevator system.

(1) Pull the pilot’s control wheel aft and make sure that the elevator travels to the full up position with
no unusual noise or binding.

(2) Move the pilot’s control wheel forward and make sure that the elevator travels to the full down
position with no unusual noise or binding.

(3) Repeat Steps (1) and (2) with the copilot’s control wheel.

(4) If requirements are not met, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM RIGGING procedure in
this section.

E. Cable Tension Check


(1) Remove the elevator aft bellcrank rig pin hole access panels 34 on the left and right side of the
upper vertical stabilizer (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, STABILIZER ACCESS PANELS).

(2) Remove the left aft fuselage panel 7 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).

(3) Move either control wheel to the full forward and full aft position three to four times to equalize
system tension.

(4) Disconnect the autopilot elevator servo cables from the primary control cables, if installed
(Ref. Figure 211).

(a) Disconnect the elevator servo lower cable (3) by removing the safety clips (6) and completely
loosen turnbuckle (7).

(b) Disconnect the elevator servo upper cable (2) from the bridle clamp (5).

(c) Position the upper and lower elevator servo cable to prevent interference with the movement
of the elevator control cables.

(5) Move the elevator surface (1) and install a rig pin (3) (7, Table 1, 27-00-00) in the aft elevator
bellcrank through the vertical stabilizer (4). Using minimum force try to manually move the
elevators up and down to verify that the rig pin is correctly installed. Ensure that the elevators do
not move. Look at the opposite side of the vertical stabilizer to verify that the rig pin has protruded
(Ref. Figure 208).

(6) Check the cable tension by performing the following Steps:

NOTE: The forward bellcrank rig pin must NOT be installed when measuring the cable tensions to
calculate the combined (average) tension (Tc).
Do not measure the tension when the temperature is varying rapidly or with the airplane
located in direct sunlight.

(a) Allow the temperature of the airframe to stabilize before measuring and adjusting the cable
tension.

Page 221
27-30-02 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) Through the aft fuselage access panel 7, measure the temperature in the compartment next
to the elevator cables (3 and 4) near the turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).

(c) Refer to the Elevator Cable Tension Graph Figure 202 and read the pounds of tension for the
measured temperature.

(d) Position a cable tensiometer (4, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the turnbuckles
(1 and 2) and measure the cable tension of both cables (3 and 4) (Ref. Figure 206). Cable
diameter is noted in Figure 202.

(e) Record the values as T up (aft cable) (3) and T down (fwd cable) (4). Calculate the combined
(average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and divide by two.
Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.

NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within a ± 8 pounds of the tension found in
Figure 202.

(7) If tension does not meet requirements, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM RIGGING
procedure in this section.

(8) Connect the autopilot elevator servo cables to the elevator control cables, if installed (Ref. Figure
211).

(a) Connect the elevator servo upper cable (2) to the bridle clamp (5).

(b) Torque the elevator servo upper cable bridle clamp bolts to 55 ± 5 inch-pounds. Check for a
minimum gap of 0.005 inch between the clamp halves.

(c) Connect the elevator servo lower cable (3) using turnbuckle (7).

(d) Perform the ELEVATOR SERVO CABLE TENSIONING procedure (Ref. Chapter 22-10-00).

(9) Remove the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin (3) (Ref. Figure 208).

(10) Install the elevator aft bellcrank rig pin hole access panels 34 on the left and right side of the upper
vertical stabilizer (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, STABILIZER ACCESS PANELS).

(11) Install the left aft fuselage panel 7 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).

(12) Perform the ELEVATOR OPERATIONAL CHECK procedure in this section.

F. Functional Check
(1) Install an elevator travel board (Ref. 27-00-02, ELEVATOR TRAVEL BOARD INSTALLATION AT
HSS 50.00).

WARNING: Verify elevator movement in the following Steps by moving only the cockpit
control column.
NOTE: One travel board may be used and moved from one side to the other.
CAUTION: With the control column pulled to the aft position, allowing the control column to free
fall to the forward position can cause damage to the elevator system.

Page 222
Nov 1/13 27-30-02
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) If using travel board P/N D807 101-610000-1/-2 at HSS 35.00, perform the following:

(a) Loosen clevis jam nut (5) and disconnect pushrod (4) from the elevator trim tab control horn
(2). Do not change the adjustment of the pushrod end (3) (Ref. Figure 209).

(b) Align the trailing edge of the elevator trim tab (1) to the trailing edge of the elevator surface.

(3) Pull a cockpit control wheel (yoke) aft and verify the elevator surfaces move up 20° +1°/ -0°
(Ref. 27-00-02, READING A TRAVEL BOARD) and that the elevator stop bolts contact the
elevator control horns. Make sure the elevator system moves smoothly without any unusual noise
or binding.

(4) Move the control wheel (yoke) forward and verify the elevator surfaces move down 14° +1°/ -0°
and that the elevator stop bolts contact the elevator control horns. Make sure the elevator system
moves smoothly without any unusual noise or binding.

(5) Repeat Steps (1) thru (4) for the opposite side.

(6) If the elevator surfaces do not achieve desired travel, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL
SYSTEM RIGGING procedure in this section.

(7) If travel board P/N D807 101-610000-1/-2 at HSS 35.00 was used, connect the elevator trim tab
pushrod (4) to the elevator trim tab control horn (2) and tighten clevis jam nut (5) (Ref. Figure 209).

(8) Remove the travel board(s).

G. Friction Check
NOTE: Take all force readings with the elevator control system completely installed: downsprings
attached, cables rigged with tension applied, bobweight mounted on control yoke and elevator
servo cables attached.

(1) Remove aft fuselage panel 7 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).

(2) To obtain the maximum allowable system friction Fs (max), measure the tension of both elevator
cables in the aft fuselage. Take the higher of the two readings and multiply it by a factor of 0.106.
For example:

Fs (max) = 0.106 X Highest Cable Tension


Fs (max) = 0.106 X 98 lbs
Fs (max) = 10.4 lbs

(3) Attach tie straps around the pilot’s or copilot’s control wheel and attach a push-pull gage so that
the gage is approximately center of the control wheel. Alternative method is to use a push-pull
gage attached and centered between the inboard grips of the pilot and copilots control wheels.

NOTE: Do not use tape on tube due to close fit between the control wheel tube and the subpanel
support bushing.

Page 223
27-30-02 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Determine method to identify when the control wheel passes through neutral. Suggested method
is to move the elevators to neutral, install rig pin and use a non-permanent marker to mark the
control wheel tube (3) (Ref. Figure 212). Remove the rig pin.

(5) Smoothly pull the control wheel aft from full forward (elevator down) position until the elevator
passes through the neutral position and record the reading from the push-pull gage. From the full
aft (elevator up) position, slowly let the control wheel move forward until the elevator passes
through neutral and record the reading from the push-pull gage. Repeat four more times for a total
of 5 cycles, recording each cycle.

(6) Average the 5 readings from pulling the control wheel aft from full down (elevator down) and
record this value as F up.

(7) Average the 5 readings from moving the control wheel forward through neutral and record this
value as F down.

(8) With the maximum allowable system friction established, use the force measurements to calculate
the actual system friction. System friction value is obtained by taking the difference of the F up and
F down force values divided by 2, or:

Fs = (F up - F down) ÷ 2
Example:
F up = 46 lbs, F down = 28 lbs
Fs = (F up - F down) ÷ 2
Fs = 46 - 28 = 18 = 9 = acceptable
2 2

(9) Combined downspring and bobweight force range (Fc) is 37.5 ± 1.5 pounds.

(10) Combined downspring and bobweight force is obtained by adding the F up and F down values
together and dividing by 2, or:

Fc = (F up + F down) ÷ 2
Example:
F up = 46 lbs, F down = 28 lbs
Fc = (F up + F down) ÷ 2
Fc = 46 + 28 = 74 = 37 = acceptable
2 2

(11) If adjustment is not required, proceed to Step (12). If adjustment is required, perform the following
Steps:

(a) Remove the top horizontal access panel 17 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, STABILIZER ACCESS
PANELS).

NOTE: The downsprings can be installed in different adjustment holes. Downsprings do not
need to be adjusted equally.

Page 224
Nov 1/13 27-30-02
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) If Fc is above the range of 37.5 ± 1.5 lbs, decrease the downspring (1) tension (adjust the
spring shorter) by moving the spring end to another adjustment hole (2) in the adjustment link
(4) (Ref. Figure 210).

(c) If Fc is below the proper range, increase the downspring (1) tension (adjust the spring
longer) by moving the spring end to another adjustment hole (2) in the adjustment link (4).

(d) Repeat Steps (3) through (11).

(e) Install the top horizontal access panel 17 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, STABILIZER ACCESS
PANELS).

(12) If system friction-force cannot be brought under the limits:

(a) Check cable installation, pulley bearings, push-pull rod ends, bellcrank bearings, the control
yoke and all linkages associated with the elevator control system.

(b) Perform the ELEVATOR INSPECTION procedures (Ref. 27-30-00).

(13) Check the outboard leading edge of the elevators for elevator counterweight screw and elevator
balance weight bolt interference.

(14) If a mark for neutral was made on the control wheel tube (3), clean the mark off the tube
(Ref. Figure 212).

(15) Install aft fuselage panel 7 (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).

FLIGHT CONTROLS
STALL WARNING SYSTEM
27-31-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The nucleus of the stall warning system installed in the airplane is the lift computer which processes
information from the lift transducer and the flap downlimit switch assembly. The computer makes use of this
information and compensates for changes in airplane attitude, airspeed and flap and gear position to sound
the stall warning horn, thereby alerting the flight crew to an impending stall condition. The lift computer is
grounded through the left landing gear safety switch which opens and disables the entire system when the
airplane is on the ground.
Power is supplied to the lift computer through a 5-ampere circuit breaker on the right circuit breaker panel.
Power for the stall warning transducer heat is taken from a 15-ampere circuit breaker on the left inboard
subpanel.

A. Lift Transducer
The lift transducer, a wing mounted electro-mechanical devise, uses AC current supplied by the lift
computer to produce a modulated AC current for input to the lift computer, which translates that signal
into linear DC response. The transducer makes use of a moveable vane which protrudes into the
airstream and senses local airflow and dynamic air pressure. Ice protection is provided by heating
elements in the vane and in the mounting plate.
The lift transducer heat elements are controlled through a relay mounted on the stall warning heat panel
assembly. The heat control relay coil is energized through the left landing gear safety switch when the
airplane is on the ground. Current to the heat elements is shunted around the open contacts of the heat
control relay through series resistors, which reduce the voltage to the heat elements and prevent the
elements from overheating during ground operation. During inflight operations, the ground circuit to the
heat element control relay coil is opened by the landing gear safety switch, and bus voltage is shunted
around the series resistors and applied directly to the transducer vane and mounting plate heat
elements.
An internal solenoid in the lift transducer, energized through the self-test circuit of the lift transducer
when the self-test switch in the flight compartment is depressed, raises the vane of the transducer and
simulates an impending stall condition, thereby sounding the stall warning horn. When the stall warning
test switch is depressed, the landing gear safety switch grounding circuit is bypassed and the system is
biased to ground at pin 8 of the lift computer. This is a positive test of the stall warning annunciator
system only and does not verify the integrity of calibration, the landing gear safety switch circuit or the
flap down limit switch circuits.
WARNING: A test flight is required after performing maintenance, or replacing either the lift
transducer assembly or the stall warning computer. Refer to STALL WARNING
SYSTEM CALIBRATION and FLIGHT CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTMENT.
The flap down limit switch assembly provides biasing inputs to the lift computer for flap settings of
APPROACH and LANDING. These inputs are processed by the lift computer to compensate for
changes in angle of attack as a result of changing the configuration of the wing through the application
of flaps.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Lift Computer
The lift computer is a solid state electronic unit incorporating power distribution, computation,
monitoring, test and warning functions. The computer will process signals from the transducer, the flap
position sensor and a test switch in the crew compartment. The lift computer will supply a 28vdc stall
warning output signal to the audio system to sound the stall warning horn when the speed ratio
decreases below the value indicated for flap position.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM
TROUBLESHOOTING
100100

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When testing the anti-icing function of the transducer vane and mounting plate, use
extreme caution as either surface can cause burns. It should be further noted that
prolonged operation of the anti-ice function in still air could damage the transducer;
therefore, it is imperative that the transducer heat be turned off immediately after
completion of the heat test.
Any time the airplane is on jacks or the landing gear squat switch is extended, the heat
switch for the stall warning system, if turned on, will produce high heat at the transducer.
The troubleshooting diagrams on the following pages provide for a logical sequence of checks to be made
should a fault in the stall warning system become apparent. The particular nature of the fault will dictate which
of the diagrams should be used. Three basic fault conditions resulting from pilot observations are defined and
may be the only information available to the technician prior to troubleshooting the system. These fault
conditions are stated at the beginning of each diagram. Following the logical flow of the diagram will provide
the technician with essential information which will allow him to properly differentiate the fault and lead him to
the proper remedial action.
A sensitive precision voltmeter (digital preferred), accurate enough to detect a change of at least 0.1 volt,
should be used for making voltage measurements. A breakout box designed for the purpose of gaining
access to the various inputs and outputs for the lift computer may be build. Refer to Figure 102 for a diagram.
The wires from each connector are appropriately connected to a terminal strip inside the box so that all inputs
and outputs for the lift computer are carried through the breakout box. A series of jacks, correspondingly
identified with pin locations, are used to tap off the desired signals for measurement with the voltmeter.
Polarity must be closely observed, as both positive and negative voltage may be encountered when
measuring outputs and inputs. The breakout box is connected in series between the airplane harness and the
lift computer and provides for parallel access to the inputs and outputs.
Breakout box jack locations (TP's or test points) are identified at each Step on the troubleshooting diagram
each time a different set of jacks is to be used. TP 22 will not be found on the wiring schematic in Figure 101;
TP 22 is for test purposes only and is a measure of transducer performance.
A force applicator (P/N 1952-1) is used to apply forces to the transducer vane for checking the accuracy of
the lift computer trip point calibration. Refer to Troubleshooting Charts in Figures 103, 104 and 105.

2. STALL WARNING SYSTEM CALIBRATION


CAUTION: This procedure must be performed in its entirety in sequence. All portions of the calibration
sections are to be completed. The operator should not try to perform only one calibration function.
WARNING: The Air Calibration Section procedure is required. The Ground Calibration Section is a
recommended procedure to be performed before the Air Calibration flight.

A. Ground Calibration Section


Should any components of the stall warning system be replaced, a calibration check of the system
should be performed before the airplane is released for flight check. The following procedure may be
used for this purpose:

(1) Actuate the squat switch.

Page 101
27-31-00 May 1/11
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Install the force applicator at the stall warning lift transducer; do not apply any force to the vane.

(3) Lower the flaps to the LANDING position.

(4) Adjust potentiometer “2” on the lift computer until the stall warning horn just begins to sound. Note
this position. Adjust the potentiometer until the sound stops. Note this position. Center the
potentiometer between the two noted positions.

(5) Retract the flaps to the APPROACH position and apply -2 TG of force to the transducer vane.

(6) Adjust potentiometer “1” until the horn just begins to sound. Note this position. Adjust the
potentiometer until the sound stops. Note this position. Center the potentiometer between the two
noted positions.

(7) Retract the flaps to the UP position and apply -3 TG of force to the transducer vane.

(8) Adjust potentiometer “0” until the stall warning horn just begins to sound. Note this position. Adjust
the potentiometer until the sound stops. Note this position. Center the potentiometer between the
two noted positions.

(9) In the event any of the previous adjustments cannot be made, refer to the appropriate
troubleshooting Chart.

(10) Recheck the tip gram figures after calibration.

B. Air Calibration Section


CAUTION: This procedure must be performed in its entirety in sequence. All portions of the calibration
sections are to be completed. The operator should not try to perform only one calibration
function.
After Calibration Checks (1) through (10) have been made, perform the following flight checks in smooth
air at a safe altitude under stabilized conditions:

(1) With the flaps and landing gear down and power off (idle power), slowly reduce speed (at a rate
not higher than one knot per second) until the stall warning horn sounds. Note the stall airspeed at
the time the warning horn actuates and continue to slowly reduce speed until the airplane stalls,
then record the stall speed. The stall warning horn should actuate at an airspeed 5 to 10 knots
faster than that at which the stall occurred.

(2) With the flaps in the approach position and the landing gear down and power off (idle power), the
stall warning should actuate within 5 to 10 knots above the stall.

(3) With the flaps and landing gear up and power off (idle power), the stall warning should actuate
within 5 to 10 knots above the stall.

NOTE: If the stall warning does not actuate at the proper airspeed during the above procedures,
gain access to the stall warning lift computer. The lift computer is located under the center
aisle floorboard adjacent to the airstair door. Adjust pot No. 2 for full-down flaps, pot No. 1
for approach flaps and pot No. 0 for flaps up. Adjust each pot until the stall warning
sounds within 5 to 10 knots of the stall. A clockwise adjustment increases the stall warning
margin; a counterclockwise adjust decreases the stall warning margin.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The flaps, two on each wing, are driven by an electric motor through a gearbox mounted on the forward side
of the rear spar. The motor incorporates a dynamic brake, which helps to prevent overtravel of the flaps,
through the use of two sets of motor windings. The gearbox drives four flexible drive shafts connected to
jackscrews at each flap. The flap motor power circuit is protected by a 20-ampere circuit breaker, placarded
FLAP MOTOR, located on the right circuit breaker panel. A 5-ampere circuit breaker, placarded FLAP IND &
CONTROL, for the control circuit is also located on this panel (Ref. Figures 1 and 2).
The flaps are operated by a sliding lever located just below the condition levers on the pedestal. The flap
control is used to select UP, TAKEOFF, APPROACH, and LANDING flap positions. Flap position is indicated
on the flap position indicator located directly above the engine condition levers in the pedestal. The indicator
reads a signal from the flap position transmitter that is driven by the right inboard flap.
The warning horn in the cockpit overhead will sound when the flap position is not compatible with engine
power lever settings and landing gear positions. The flap travel limit switches, located outboard of the right
nacelle, along with the limit switches in the pedestal provide signals to the flap warning circuit.
A flap safety switch, located at the junction of the adjacent flaps in each wing, disables power to the flap
motor when either of the flaps in that pair travels more than 3° to 6° out of phase with the adjacent flap.

(13) Install the left and right passenger seats (Ref. Chapter 25-20-00, PASSENGER SEAT
INSTALLATION).

C. Outer Housing Inspection and Repair


Cuts or nicks that penetrate the flexible drive shaft (3) outer plastic housing may allow moisture to enter,
promoting lubrication failure and internal corrosion. Such flexible drive shaft (3) housing damage within
the pressurized compartment may be especially harmful. Any pressurization air leakage through the
flexible drive shaft (3) housing, though minor, may carry significant amounts of moisture, condensing
and pooling in the colder outboard portion of the flexible drive shaft (3) (Ref. Figure 201).
Inspect the flexible drive shaft (3) housings for nicks and cuts that penetrate. Replace the flexible drive
shaft (3) or patch with Tedlar tape (13, Table 2, 27-00-00). If patching, clean the area with solvent
(14, Table 2, 27-00-00) and wipe dry. Apply tape with a spiral wrap, tight and wrinkle free, overlapping
each wrap by two-thirds. The patch should extend a minimum of two inches on each side of the
damaged area. The free end of the tape patch may be additionally secured with one or two small nylon
tie-wraps obtained locally.

(5) Select the BATT switch to the OFF position.

(6) Disconnect external electrical power from the airplane.

(7) On airplanes equipped with flap bumpers:

(a) Loosen the jam nut on each of the four flap bumpers located forward of the flaps at
WS 33.00, 108.94, 138.00 and 188.00 on each wing.

(b) Turn the bumpers inward to provide clearance from the flaps when they are in the up
position.

(8) On each of the inboard actuators (1), check that the adjustment nut (3) is all the way in toward the
spring (2) at the end of the threads. If adjustment is required, loosen the locknut (4) and turn the
adjustment nut (3) all the way in (toward the spring (2)) until reaching the end of the threads. Then
tighten the locknut (4) against the adjustment nut (3) (Ref. Figure 201, Sheet 1).

(9) On each of the outboard actuators (1), check the position of the adjustment nut (3). There must be
3 to 5 threads showing (6) on the spring side of the adjustment nut. If adjustment is required,
loosen the locknut (4) and turn the adjustment nut (3) all the way in (toward the spring (2)) until
reaching the end of the threads. Then back the adjustment nut (3) off four turns and tighten the
locknut (4) against it (Ref. Figure 201, Sheet 2).

(10) Disconnect the flap actuator rod end (3) from each of the four flap attach brackets (6) by removing
the nuts (5), washers (1), bushing (8) and bolts (2) (Ref. Figure 207).

(11) Retract each flap actuator by rotating the rod end (3) inward by hand until it will not interfere with
the flap, when raised by hand, to the full up position.

(12) Raise and lower each flap by hand to assure freedom of movement with no binding or unusual
noise.

(13) Locate the turnbuckle (1) between the flap limit switches and the right inboard flap. Measure the
turnbuckle length between the centers of the holes in the clevis (2) on each end of the turnbuckle

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(14) Remove the flap travel limit switches access panel 1 (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS
PANELS).

NOTE: Use the RH flap travel board reading as the master when making all adjustments.

(15) With assistance and by positioning the right inboard flap by hand, adjust the flap limit switches by
performing the following Steps:

(a) Raise the right inboard flap slightly above 33° then slowly lower flap to 35 +1/ -2° and check
that the S6 switch (7) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S6 switch (7) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S6 switch cam (6) to activate the S6
switch (7) at the 35 +1/ -2° flap position (Ref. Figure 202).

(b) Raise the right inboard flap from 35 +1°/ -2° to 19° to 21° and check that the approach flap
limit S4 switch (9) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S4 switch (9) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S4 switch cam (4) to activate the S4
switch (9) at the 19° to 21° flap position.

(c) Raise the right inboard flap to a position less than 17° then lower the flap to 19° to 21° and
check that the S5 switch (8) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S5 switch
(8) is not activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S5 switch cam (5) to activate
the S5 switch (8) at the 19° to 21° flap position.

NOTE: There must be a 0.5° to 2° flap angle (as read on travel board) difference between
the activation of the S4 switch (9) and the S5 switch (8) after both switch cams have
had their final adjustments. Maintaining this 0.5° to 2° flap angle difference will
reduce the possibility of the flaps making small uncommanded movements up and
down (hunting) in this flap position.
The S4 switch (9) must activate before the S5 switch (8) deactivates when raising
the flaps from full down. The S5 switch (8) must activate before the S4 switch (9)
deactivates when lowering the flaps from full up.
Example: The S5 switch (8) activates at 19°. The S4 switch (9) activates at 20.5°.
This is the activation difference of 0.5° to 2°.

(d) Raise the right inboard flap to the full UP position and check that the S1 switch (12) activates
at the 1° ± 0.5° trailing edge down flap position by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S1
switch (12) is not activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S1 switch cam (1) to
activate the S1 switch (12) at the 1 ± 0.5° trailing edge down flap position. Although the
allowable range is 0.5° to 1.5°, set as close to the 1° reading as possible to provide additional
flap clearance at the flap cove.

(e) Lower the right inboard flap from the full up position to 9° to 11° and check that the S3 switch
(10) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S3 switch (10) is not activated, use
an allen-head wrench and adjust the S3 switch cam (3) to activate the S3 switch (10) at the
9° to 11° flap position.

(f) Raise the right inboard flap from the full down position to 9° to 11° and check that the S2
switch (11) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S2 switch (11) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S2 switch cam (2) to activate the S2
switch (11) at the 9° to 11° flap position.

Nov 1/09 27-50-05
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: There must be a 0.5° to 2° flap angle (as read on travel board) difference between
the activation of the S2 switch (11) and the S3 switch (10) after both switch cams
have had their final adjustments. Maintaining this 0.5° to 2° flap angle difference will
reduce the possibility of the flaps making small uncommanded movements up and
down (hunting) in this flap position.
The S2 switch (11) must activate before the S3 switch (10) deactivates when raising
the flaps from full down. The S3 switch (10) must activate before the S2 switch (11)
deactivates when lowering the flaps from full up.
Example: The S3 switch (10) activates at 9°. The S2 switch (11) activates at 10.5°.
This is the activation difference of 0.5° to 2°.

(g) Lower the right inboard flap to 35 +1°/ -2° and check that the S6 switch (7) activates by
hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S6 switch (7) is not activated, use an allen-head
wrench and adjust the S6 switch cam (6) to activate the S6 switch (7) at the 35 +1°/ -2° flap
position.

NOTE: Do not alter any limit switch settings to compensate for a faulty indicating system. The
indicating system will be checked and adjusted at a later Step.
CAUTION: Ensure the flaps do not bottom out in the flap track at the full down position.
Be sure all actuators are attached to their respective flaps before proceeding or
structural damage may occur.

(16) Position the right inboard flap by hand to the full down position. Adjust the inboard flap actuator rod
end (3) to line up with the flap attach bracket (6) holes (Ref. Figure 207).

(18) With assistance and by positioning the right inboard flap by hand, adjust the flap limit switches by
performing the following Steps:

(a) Raise the right inboard flap slightly above 33° then slowly lower flap to 35 +1/ -2° and check
that the S6 switch (7) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S6 switch (7) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S6 switch cam (6) to activate the S6
switch (7) at the 35 +1/ -2° flap position (Ref. Figure 202).

(b) Raise the right inboard flap from 35 +1/ -2° to 19° to 21° and check that the approach flap
limit S4 switch (9) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S4 switch (9) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S4 switch cam (4) to activate the S4
switch (9) at the 19° to 21° flap position.

(c) Raise the right inboard flap to a position less than 17° then lower the flap 19° to 21° and
check that the S5 switch (8) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S5 switch
(8) is not activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S5 switch cam (5) to activate
the S5 switch (8) at the 19° to 21° flap position.

NOTE: There must be a 0.5° to 2° flap angle (as read on the protractor) difference between
the activation of the S4 switch (9) and the S5 switch (8) after both switch cams have
had their final adjustments. Maintaining this 0.5° to 2° flap angle difference will
reduce the possibility of the flaps making small uncommanded movements up and
down (hunting) in this flap position.
The S4 switch (9) must activate before the S5 switch (8) deactivates when raising
the flaps from full down. The S5 switch (8) must activate before the S4 switch (9)
deactivates when lowering the flaps from full up.
Example: The S5 switch (8) activates at 19°. The S4 switch (9) deactivates at 20.5°.
This is the activation difference of 0.5° to 2°.

(d) Raise the right inboard flap to the full up position and check that the S1 switch (12) activates
at the 0 ± 1.5° trailing edge down flap position by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S1
switch (12) is not activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S1 switch cam (1) to
activate the S1 switch (12) at the 0 ± 1.5° trailing edge down flap position. Although the
allowable range is 0.5° to 1.5°, set as close to the 1° reading as possible to provide additional
flap clearance at the flap cove.

(e) Lower the right inboard flap from the full up position to 9° to 11° and check that the S3 switch
(10) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S3 switch (10) is not activated, use
an allen-head wrench and adjust the S3 switch cam (3) to activate the S3 switch (10) at the
9° to 11° flap position.

(f) Raise the right inboard flap from the full down position to 9° to 11° and check that the S2
switch (11) activates by hearing an audible clicking noise. If the S2 switch (11) is not
activated, use an allen-head wrench and adjust the S2 switch cam (2) to activate the S2
switch (11) at the 9° to 11° flap position.

NOTE: There must be a 0.5° to 2° flap angle (as read on protractor) difference between the
activation of the S2 switch (11) and the S3 switch (10) after both switch cams have
had their final adjustments. Maintaining this 0.5° to 2° flap angle difference will
reduce the possibility of the flaps making small uncommanded movements up and
down (hunting) in this flap position.

Page 205
27-50-06 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(13) Zero the protractor and disconnect the flap actuator from the left outboard flap. The outboard flap
will move down to the end of the flap track.

CAUTION: Ensure that the actuators will not strike or damage the wing or flaps while moving the
outboard flaps during adjustment procedures.

(14) Slowly raise the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get an
accurate measurement.

(15) The correct safety switch setting stops all flap travel when the positions of the inboard and
outboard flaps have a difference of 3° to 6°.

(16) If the difference is less than 3°, move the safety switch up in the slots of the inboard arm. If the
difference is more than 6°, move the safety switch down in the slots of the arm.

(17) Connect the flap actuator to the left outboard flap.

(18) Repeat Steps (10) thru (17) for the right side flaps.

(19) After all flap actuators are connected, perform the FLAP SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK
procedure (Ref. 27-50-05).

(Ref. Figure 203).

(7) The inboard flap link (without Kit No. 118-4013) (20) is a non adjustable solid link. If Kit No.
118-4013 is installed, check that the inboard flap rod end linkage is a length of 2.75 inches
between the centers of the rod end bores.

(8) The centerline of the pointed end of the cam must align with the switch roller. The cam may have a
groove line to aid in this inspection.

(9) If the cam does not align with the switch roller, adjust the outboard flap rod end linkage (2). Begin
with a length of 2.50 inches between the centers of the rod end bores, then adjust the length to
align the cam with the switch roller (Ref. Figure 203).

(10) Install a digital protractor (5, Table 1, 27-00-00) to the inboard edge of the outboard flap.

(11) Raise flaps to the APPROACH position.

(12) Select the EXT PWR switch to the OFF position.

(13) Select the BATT switch to the OFF position.

(14) Disconnect external electrical power from the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

CAUTION: Do not run flaps or change flap actuator adjustment with the actuator disconnected
from the flap. If the flap system is operated with the actuator disconnected or the
actuator length is changed, the flap system must be rigged.

(15) Zero the protractor and disconnect the flap actuator from the left outboard flap. The outboard flap
will move down to the end of the flap track.

CAUTION: Ensure that the actuators will not strike or damage the wing or flaps while moving the
outboard flaps during adjustment procedures.

(16) Raise the outboard flap by hand until the protractor reads approximately 0° and listen for an
audible clicking noise. The switch roller must be on the pointed end of the cam.

(17) Slowly lower the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get an
accurate measurement.

(18) Raise the outboard flap by hand until the protractor reads approximately 0° and listen for an
audible clicking noise. The switch roller must be on the pointed end of the cam.

(19) Slowly raise the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get an
accurate measurement.

(20) The correct safety switch setting stops all flap travel when the positions of the inboard and
outboard flaps have a difference of 5° to 9° in either direction. A higher setting is preferred to
prevent nuisance tripping of the switch.

(21) If the safety switch setting is 5° to 9°, proceed to Step (25). If not, perform the following Steps:

(22) Add the protractor readings. If the number of degrees while lowering the flap plus the number of
degrees while raising the flap is not 10° to 18° then adjust the switch in the slots and repeat Steps
(15) through (22).

NOTE: Lowering the switch in the slots decreases the total degrees. Raising the switch in the
slots increases the total degrees.

(23) If the number of degrees while lowering the flap does not equal the number of degrees while
raising the flap, the outboard rod end length must be adjusted and Steps (15) through (22) must be
repeated.

NOTE: Lengthening the outboard rod end link decreases flap up travel and increases flap down
travel. Shortening the outboard rod end link increases flap up travel and decreases flap
down travel.

Page 207
27-50-06 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(24) Example: 10.8° was measured while lowering the outboard flap. 7.4° was measured while raising
the outboard flap. Total = 10.8 + 7.4 = 18.2°. The switch must be moved down in the slots until the
total is less than 18°. After moving the switch, 10.0° is measured while lowering, 5.8° is measured
while raising. Total = 10.0 + 5.8 = 15.8°. The switch is correctly positioned since the total is 18° or
less, but the 10° exceeds the 9° requirement. Adjust the outboard rod end linkage until both
readings are within 5° to 9°.

(25) Connect the flap actuator to the left outboard flap.

(26) Apply external electrical power to the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

NOTE: For initial adjustment, the safety switch (13) should be pushed to the upper edge of the
elongated mounting holes.
There is no rigging required for the Take-off Flap Position Switch (5), since this is accomplished by
the correct assembly of parts as shown in Section B-B (Ref. Figure 202).
The Landing Gear Warning Flap Position Switch (3) must make contact in the normally closed
position with the detent roller (13) on the crest between the DOWN and APPROACH position
detents on the cam (12) as shown in Section A-A.
The Approach Flap Position Switch (7) must make contact in the normally closed position with the
detent roller (13) on the crest between the APPROACH and TAKE-OFF position detents on the
cam (12) as shown in Section C-C.
The Full Down Flap Position Switch (8) must make contact in the normally closed position with the
detent roller (13) on the crest between the DOWN and APPROACH position detents on the cam
(12) as shown in Section D-D.

1. CONTROL LOCKS
WARNING: The flight control gust locks provided by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation for its products
are in compliance with federal regulations to provide an unmistakable warning to the
pilot when the lock is engaged.
When necessary or desirable to use flight control gust locks, use only the flight control
gust lock assembly specified by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation for that particular
airplane.
When a flight control gust lock assembly is used, the lock must be correctly and fully
installed, including the rudder pedal lock and throttle control lock.
The control lock consists of a U-shaped clamp and two pins connected by a chain. The pins lock the primary
flight controls and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine power control levers and serves to warn the
pilot not to start the engines with the control locks installed. It is important that the locks be installed or
removed together to preclude the possibility of an attempt to taxi or fly the airplane with the power levers
released and the pins still installed in the flight controls.

A. Inspection
(1) Inspect the flight control gust lock to determine if it is the correct part number.

(a) Measure the length of the chain between point A at the Rudder Lock Pin (3) that installs into
the floor and point B at the U-clamp (2) that installs over the Engine Controls (1)
(Ref. Figure 201).

(b) If the dimension is 43 inches ± one chain link, the correct part number is installed. If the
length does not check, replace with the correct part number control lock (29, Table 7,
Chapter 91-00-00 or refer to the IPC).

(2) Perform CONTROL LOCK INSTALLATION procedure.

(3) Check the alignment of the Rudder Lock Pin (3) that installs into the floor. Try to move the rudder
pedals to verify the rudder pin locks the rudder systems.

(4) Check the alignment of the Control Column Lock Pin (4) that installs into the control column. Try to
move the pilot’s control wheel to verify the pin locks the elevator and aileron control systems.

(5) If the control lock must be removed at this time, perform CONTROL LOCK REMOVAL procedure.

B. Removal
WARNING: Before starting the engines, remove the control locks.
Remove the control locks before towing the airplane. If towed with a tug while the
rudder lock is installed, serious damage to the steering linkage can result.

(1) Remove the Rudder Lock Pin (3).

(2) Remove the Control Column Lock pin (4).

(3) Remove the U-clamp (2) from the Engine Controls (1).

C. Installation
(1) Position the U-clamp (2) around the engine controls (1) (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: The holes are aligned when the control wheel is fully forward and rotated approximately
15° to the left.

(2) Move the control column as necessary to align the holes, then insert the Control Column Lock
Pin (4).

(3) Insert Rudder Lock Pin (3) through the hole provided in the floor aft of the rudder pedals. The
rudder pedals must be centered to align the hole in the rudder bellcrank with the hole in the floor.
The Rudder Lock Pin (3) is then inserted until the flange is resting against the floor. This will
prevent any rudder movement.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Fuel Storage and Distribution


The fuel system consists of a series of rubber bladder type cells and an integral (wet wing) tank in each
wing connected by a cross-transfer line controlled by a valve. The separate fuel system for each engine
has a total fuel capacity of 216 gallons (Ref. Figure 1). The fuel system in each wing consists of two
wing leading edge tanks, two box section tanks, an integral (wet wing) tank, and one center section
tank, all interconnected to flow into the fuel collector tank by gravity. The fuel collector tank is located
within the center section fuel tank, adjacent to the fuselage. The collector tank is equipped with an
electric fuel pump, primary jet pump, and two transfer jet pumps. The total usable fuel capacity of each
fuel system is 212.5 gallons. The filler cap for this system of tanks is located on the outboard leading
edge of each wing near the wing tip.
The collector tank has a drain located in the center section, adjacent to the fuselage. The inboard
leading edge tank has a drain on the underside of the wing just outboard of the nacelle. The integral
(wet wing) fuel tank has a sump drain located approximately midway on the underside of the wing aft of
the main spar.
The fuel system is vented through a flush vent near the wing tip and a recessed vent coupled to a static
vent on the underside of the wing adjacent to the nacelle. The static vent is heated to minimize the
possibility of icing and also serves as a backup should the other vents become obstructed. The wing
tanks are cross vented with one another and then vented through a float operated vent valve installed
on the forward outboard side of the integral fuel tank. A line just aft of the float-operated vent valve
extends from the integral fuel tank through a suction relief valve and aft to the flush vent on the
underside of the wing.
The line from the float-operated vent valve in the integral fuel tank is routed forward along the leading
edge of the wing inboard to the nacelle and aft through a check valve to the recessed vent just outboard
of the nacelle. Another line tees off from the vent line and extends through a flame arrester to a heated
ram vent immediately outboard and aft of the recessed vent.
The fuel pressure required to operate the engine is provided by an engine-driven fuel pump immediately
upstream of the fuel control unit on the accessory case. An engine-driven boost pump, immediately
upstream of the engine-driven fuel pump, provides the motive flow for operation of the primary jet pump
which is located in the collector tank. The primary jet pump assists the engine-driven pumps in removing
fuel from the collector tank.
The supply line from the collector tank is routed from the aft side of the center section tank forward to
the engine-driven boost pump through a normally open firewall shutoff valve installed in the fuel line
immediately aft of the engine firewall.
A cross-transfer line connects the two collector tanks. A switch controlled cross-transfer valve in the line
is located at the forward outboard corner of the center section fuel cell. When the valve is in its normally
closed position, each engine draws fuel from its respective fuel tanks system. A manually operated
cross-transfer control switch is mounted on the upper fuel control panel, just above the fuel quantity
gages. When the cross-transfer control switch is actuated, power is drawn from a circuit breaker on the
lower fuel control panel to the solenoid of the cross-transfer valve. The cross-transfer valve then opens
to allow the electrically- driven fuel pump to transfer fuel to either the left or right fuel system.

28-00-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The electrically-driven pump located in the bottom of each collector tank is provided as a backup pump
should the engine-driven pumps fail; it is also used for all cross-transfer operations. Should one of the
electric pumps fail, cross-transfer can only be accomplished from the side of the operative pump.
The fuel purge system is designed to assure that any residual fuel in the fuel manifolds is consumed
during engine shutdown. During engine operation, engine bleed air (P3) is routed through a filter and
check valve and pressurizes a small air tank mounted on the engine truss mount. On engine shutdown
the pressure differential between the air tank and fuel manifold causes air to be discharged from the air
tank, through a poppet valve, into the fuel manifold system. The air forces the residual fuel, remaining in
the fuel manifold, out through the nozzles and into the combustion chamber.

B. Fuel Quantity Indicating


Fuel system operation and performance is monitored through various indicators (gages and annunciator
lights) found in the flight compartment. Left and right fuel quantity gages indicate total fuel in each
system in pounds of fuel remaining. Eight capacitance probes in each wing fuel system provide the
signals required to drive the fuel quantity indicators which are located on the fuel control panel.

C. Fuel Flow Indicating


Fuel flow gages indicate the actual amount of fuel, in pounds per hour, being metered to each engine at
any given time. The fuel flow transmitters are located immediately downstream of the fuel control units.
This system is discussed in more detail in Chapter 77, ENGINE INDICATING.

D. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System


A low fuel warning system provides bi-level warning to the flight crew when the fuel level in each wing
reaches a certain level and again when the fuel in the collector tank reaches a certain level. R FUEL
QTY and L FUEL QTY annunciators illuminate when approximately 30 minutes of fuel remains in each
wing. The 30-minute flight time provides for fuel in each wing sufficient to feed both engines at
maximum continuous power. R FUEL FEED and L FUEL FEED annunciators illuminate when
approximately 2 minutes of fuel remains in each collector tank. The 2-minute flight time provides for fuel
in each collector tank sufficient to feed both engines at maximum continuous power. The low fuel
quantity and low fuel feed annunciators are located in the caution advisory panel, mounted in the center
subpanel. When the fuel pressure switch, in the plumbing from the main tank, reads 5 psi or less (1 psi
for the UA and UB models), the R FUEL PRESS or L FUEL PRESS warning annunciators will
illuminate.
The PRESS TO TEST switch on the warning annunciator panel provides energizing current to the test
circuit of the low level sensors which are mounted in the fuel tanks and provides for functionally testing
the sensors and all associated circuitry.
Refer to 28-40-00 for the Low Fuel Quantity Warning Block Diagram.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Fuel Storage and Distribution


The fuel system consists of two independent systems, one for each engine. The systems are connected
by a solenoid valve-controlled cross-transfer line. Each independent system consists of two integral
tanks (the main and auxiliary tank). The main tank in each wing holds a maximum of 241 gallons of
usable fuel (Ref. Figure 1). The auxiliary tanks, located in each side of the center section, contain 92.2
gallons of usable fuel each. The ribs, which form part of the structure of the main tank, also function as
baffles that prevent the fuel from sloshing. Fuel from the main tank is gravity-fed into the collector tank
(the inboard aft area of the outboard wing). The collector tank is equipped with an electric fuel boost
pump, transfer jet pump, main tank jet pump and a manifold.
Fuel is transferred from the auxiliary to the main tank by activating the electric fuel pump in the auxiliary
tank. The switch for the transfer pump is located on the fuel control panel on the pilot's side of the crew
compartment. A pressure switch located in the auxiliary transfer line, in conjunction with a float switch
located in the auxiliary fuel tank, automatically cuts power to the auxiliary fuel pump when the usable
fuel in the tank is exhausted. The system is fueled by filling the main tank first through ports located on
the outboard leading edge adjacent to the wing tip, then filling the auxiliary tanks through ports located
near the inboard side of the nacelle and aft of the main spar.
The vent system for the fuel tanks is located in the wing tips and vents the system through a float valve
on each side. The valve is designed to shut off when activated by the presence of fuel. However, a
pressure activated backup vent prevents an overpressure condition by opening if pressure exceeds
approximately 1-1/2 psi. The system is equipped with flame arrestors and protected from freeze-up by a
switch-controlled heated vent. The switch which controls the heated vent is located on the pilots RH
subpanel. The auxiliary tank vents into the main tank.
The cross-transfer line connecting the two systems is controlled by a normally closed, switch-operated
solenoid valve. When the valve is in the closed position, each engine draws fuel from its individual
system. If cross-transfer is desired, the manually activated switch must be moved to the TRANSFER
FLOW position which will activate the standby pump. In addition to the cross-transfer function, the
electric boost pump can provide fuel to the engine should the engine-driven fuel pump fail. Power for the
switches is drawn through the appropriately placarded circuit breakers at the bottom of the fuel control
panel.
Fuel for the engine is provided by an engine-driven fuel pump. The engine-driven fuel boost pump
(located upstream of the engine-driven fuel pump) provides motive flow for operation of the jet pumps
which aid in moving fuel from the main tank.

B. Fuel Purge System (EPA)


The fuel purge system is designed to assure that any residual fuel in the fuel manifolds is consumed
during engine shutdown. During engine operation, engine bleed air (P3) is routed through a filter and
check valve and pressurizes a small air tank mounted on the engine truss mount. On engine shutdown
the pressure differential between the air tank and the fuel manifold causes air to be discharged from the
air tank, through a poppet valve, and into the fuel manifold system. The air forces the residual fuel,
remaining in the fuel manifold, out through the nozzles and into the combustion chamber.

C. Fuel Quantity Indicating


Fuel system operation and performance is monitored through various indicators (gages and annunciator
lights) found in the flight compartment. Left and right fuel quantity gages indicate the amount of fuel in
each tank in pounds of fuel remaining. Eight capacitance probes in each wing fuel system provide the
signals required to drive the fuel quantity indicators, located on the fuel control panel.

D. Fuel Flow Indicating


Fuel flow gages indicate the actual amount of fuel, in pounds per hour, being metered to each engine at
any given time. The fuel flow transmitters are located immediately downstream of the fuel control units.
This system is detailed in Chapter 77-00-00.

E. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System


The low fuel warning system provides bi-level warning to the flight crew when the fuel level in each tank
reaches a predetermined level and again when the fuel in the collector tank area is nearly exhausted.
When the fuel in the main tank or tanks reaches a level that equals approximately 30 minutes of flight
time, R FUEL QTY, L FUEL QTY or both annunciators will be actuated by liquid level sensors mounted
on the inboard forward side of the main tank. If the fuel in the collector tank area drops to a level
sufficient to provide approximately two minutes flight time, R FUEL FEED, L FUEL FEED or both
annunciator lights will illuminate. Flight time fuel means that sufficient fuel remains to feed the engine at
maximum continuous power. When the fuel pressure switch, in the plumbing from the main tank, reads
5 psi or less, the R FUEL PRESS or L FUEL PRESS warning annunciators will illuminate.
The PRESS-TO-TEST switch on the warning annunciator panel provides current to the test circuit of the
low level sensors and all associated circuitry.

1. FUEL CELLS
Rubber bladder type fuel cells are equipped with nipples for attaching plumbing lines to the fuel cell. In order
to avoid damaging the fuel cell or its nipple fittings, the following torque values should be applied to the nipple
fitting clamps during installation:

Table 201
FUEL CELL NIPPLE TORQUE
(UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)
NIPPLE FITTING TORQUE
I.D. (IN) INCH-POUNDS
0.25 thru 0.62 12 to 15
0.75 thru 1.00 15 to 20
1.50 25 to 30
2.00 30 to 35
3.00 35 to 40
Bladder type fuel cells having yellow nipples shall be torqued to 25 ± 5 inch-pounds; all others shall be
torqued according to Table 201.
Always position hose clamps on internal nipple fittings so that the screw body travels freely as the screw is
tightened. Never allow the screw body to wedge between nipple fitting O.D. and tank wall. This can result in
false torque readings, leaks and/or nipple fitting damage.
NOTE: Bladder type fuel cells returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement will not be repaired if
foreign material has been applied to the fittings of the fuel tank wall, either inside or outside. Foreign
material is considered to be any material, such as sealants, coatings, cements, etc. not approved by
the manufacturer for the installation, operation or repair of a bladder type fuel cell.
To facilitate installation of bladder type fuel cells, allow the fuel cell to set at room temperature (above
60°F) for a period of time sufficient to ensure flexibility.

8. LEAKAGE CHECKS AND REPAIRS

A. Leakage Checks and Repairs (Integral Fuel Cells)


To classify the degree of leakage in an integral (wet wing) fuel cell, measure the size of the wet area
around the leak. A more accurate measurement may be obtained by wiping the leakage clean and
applying talcum powder in the area of the leak. After 30 minutes, check the area to determine if the leak
classifies as a stain, seep, heavy seep, or running leak (Ref. Figure 207). Fuel leaks must also be
classified as to whether they occur in an open area or in an enclosed area to differentiate between those
that require immediate repair and those not considered potential flight hazards.
WARNING: Any leakage in an enclosed area, such as the wheel well, or in an area where the fuel
will blow into the fuselage, requires grounding until repair is made.

(1) Heavy seeps or smaller leaks in an open area may be temporarily repaired any time the airplane is
grounded for other maintenance. No action is required at any repair station other than the
maintenance base of operations. An external sealer (120, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be
used.

(2) If leaks are to be repaired from inside the tank, drain all fuel from the affected tank (Ref. Chapter
12-10-00 DRAINING THE FUEL SYSTEM). Remove all damaged sealer from the vicinity of the
leak with a wooden or plastic scraper. Chamfer the ends of the remaining sealant so that the new
sealant forms a smooth continuous flow. Refer to Table 202 for recommended sealers.

(3) If the leakage is around a rivet, strike the rivet. This can only be done once. If the leak persists,
replace the rivet. An alternate method for repair of rivet leaks is to install a fuel repair patch
(122, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). The patch is a thin aluminum disc that is applied directly over
the exterior side of the leak and bonded in place with epoxy. Patches are available for flush or
protruding head rivets. Because the adhesive used with these patches will cure in the presence of
fuel, it is not necessary to drain the tank prior to patch installation.

(4) If the leakage is around a bolt with a gasket type seal, torque the bolt. If the leak persists, replace
the seal or the bolt. Refer to the appropriate Model 1900 Parts Catalog for component part
numbers.

(5) If the leakage is at the gasket around an access opening or fitting, torque the attachments. Torque
access plate bolts 45 to 50 inch-pounds. If the leak persists, replace the gasket.

(6) If the leakage is around anchor nuts of access plates on the underside of the wing, seal around the
nuts.

NOTE: If the drain valve was removed during the foregoing checks and repairs, install the valve
retaining nut with the castellated portion down, then torque the nut 75 to 100 inch-pounds
and safety. Refer to the Model 1900 Airliner Series Structural Repair Manual for wing skin
and structural member repairs. Seal repairs as necessary with the appropriate sealer
(Ref. Table 202).

the empty cell to 1/4 psi with a mixture of shop air and ammonia gas, then checking for visible
indications of leakage on a cloth saturated with phenolphthalein solution. To set up and conduct the
leakage test, proceed as follows:

(1) The following equipment is required and should be hooked up as indicated (Ref. Figure 208).

(a) Closure plates for the fuel cell openings. Such plates may be fabricated of aluminum sheet
cut to a size sufficient to cover the cell openings. Drill holes in the closure plate to match the
hole pattern around the opening in the fuel cell.

(b) Rubber stoppers to plug the fitting openings in the fuel cell. One of the stoppers should have
a hole for insertion of the plastic tubing used to connect the fuel cell into the test setup.

(c) A manometer for measuring 6 inches of water differential. The manometer can be fabricated
from glass or clear plastic tubing; frame and scale similar to the illustration shown.

(d) A regulator that can be set to provide 1/4 psi (6 inches of water) from a supply of shop air.

(e) Two flasks (or bottles) approximately one liter (or quart) in capacity. A third container may be
hooked into the test setup to provide an optional overflow collector if desired. The two
containers should be provided with rubber stoppers that have holes for the insertion of 1/4
inch tubes (glass or metal) (Ref. Figure 208).

(f) Plastic tubing of a size to provide a leak free fit over the tubes and of a length sufficient to
interconnect the test components (Ref. Figure 208).

(g) Make up a solution of phenolphthalein as follows: Add 1/3 ounce phenolphthalein crystals to
1/2 gallon ethyl alcohol, mix, then add 1/2 gallon water.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(h) Make up an ammonia solution by adding 100cc (3 fluid ounces) of concentrated ammonium
hydroxide (NH4OH) per gallon of water.

(2) Place the fuel cell and test equipment on a clean work bench.

CAUTION: Make sure the work area is clean of metal shavings or other debris that could damage
the fuel cell.

(3) Install the closure plates over the fuel cell openings and torque the retaining screws as specified in
the installation section of the maintenance manual for the openings, then insert the rubber
stoppers into the open fittings.

(4) The flask (or bottle) containing the ammonium hydroxide solution should be 1/3 to 1/2 full
(Ref. Figure 208).

(5) Connect a shop air supply to the regulator and interconnect the regulator, beakers, fuel cell, and
manometer (Ref. Figure 208).

(6) Inflate the fuel cell to 1/4 psi with a mixture of shop air and ammonium gas. A 6 inch difference in
the two water levels of the manometer will indicate that the fuel cell is inflated to 1/4 psi. It is not
necessary to restrain the cell other than to keep it from rolling off the bench. The filling of the cell
will be rather slow at the 1/4 psi, but should not be rushed as overpressure of the cell could result.

CAUTION: Wear rubber gloves to protect against skin irritation when handling the cloth. As a
further protection against possible penetration of the phenolphthalein solution through
the gloves, wash your hands thoroughly after finishing the test.

(7) Saturate a large, clean cloth with phenolphthalein. Immerse it in a container and squeeze out
excess liquid.

NOTE: Continued use of the testing cloth will require repeated saturations with phenolphthalein
since rapid evaporation of the alcohol from the cloth progressively reduces the sensitivity
of the test unless the solution in the cloth is frequently renewed.

(8) Lay the cloth over the various portions of the fuel cell until the entire exterior of the cell has been
covered. With each application of the cloth, watch for the formation of a reddish pink stain on the
cloth to indicate the presence of a leak. Encircle the area on the fuel cell beneath such stains with
a chalk mark to pinpoint the locations of leaks.

C. Fuel Cell Repair


Bladder Type fuel cells have a repair manual number stencilled on the fuel cell exterior surface. The
appropriate repair manual should be referred to for the correct repair procedures and repair materials to
be used with a particular fuel cell construction. All fuel cells received at the manufacturer having foreign
material applied to the fittings or the fuel cell wall, either inside or outside, will not be repaired and all
warranty is null and void. Foreign material is defined as any material such as sealants, coatings,
cements, etc. not approved by the manufacturer for the installation, operation or repair of a bladder type
fuel cell.
For information regarding the repair, handling, and storage of BTC-85 fuel cell constructions, refer to the
manual entitled Repair and Maintenance Manual for Vithane Fuel Cells in the Model 1900 Airliner
Series Component Maintenance Manual. BTC-39 and BTC-39-1 type fuel cells should be replaced,
rather than repaired, when damaged.

D. Fuel Cell Storage


CAUTION: Never store fuel cells in the vicinity of electrical equipment, such as generators and motors.
The movement of brushes across the commutators of these units results in minute sparks
that cause the formation of ozone gas. Ozone has a highly destructive effect on fuel cells.
Although it leaves no visible indication, ozone makes the material of which the cells are
formed brittle so that the cells will disintegrate upon the application of stress.
Bladder type fuel cells are constructed of polyethylene, they need not be treated for storage. The only
stipulation on storage of bladder type cells is that they be carefully wrapped for protection against dust,
then be stored at room temperatures in a location shielded from sunlight.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Leakage Checks and Repairs (Integral Fuel Cells)


To classify the degree of leakage in an integral (wet wing) fuel cell, measure the size of the wet area
around the leak. A more accurate measurement may be obtained by wiping the leakage clean and
applying talcum powder in the area of the leak. After 30 minutes, check the area to determine if the leak
classifies as a stain, seep, heavy seep, or running leak (Ref. Figure 201). Fuel leaks must also be
classified as to whether they occur in an open area or in an enclosed area to differentiate between those
that require immediate repair and those not considered potential flight hazards.
WARNING: Any leakage in an enclosed area, such as the wheel well, or in an area where the fuel
will blow into the fuselage, requires grounding until repair is made.

(1) Heavy seeps or smaller leaks in an open area may be temporarily repaired any time the airplane is
grounded for other maintenance. No action is required at any repair station other than the
maintenance base of operations. An external sealant (120, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be
used.

NOTE: For ease of sealant removal it is permissible to use sealant emulsifier, PolyGone 300-AG.
Do not allow PolyGone 300-AG to come into contact with non-metal parts.
Any areas where primer has been removed or dissolved during sealant removal must be
cleaned and primed.

(2) If leaks are to be repaired from inside the tank, drain all fuel from the affected tank (Ref. Chapter
12-10-00). Remove all damaged sealant from the vicinity of the leak with a wooden or plastic
scraper. Chamfer the ends of the remaining sealant so that the new sealant forms a smooth
continuous flow. Refer to Table 201 for recommended sealers.

(3) If the leakage is around a rivet, strike the rivet. This can only be done once. If the leak persists,
replace the rivet. An alternate method for repair of rivet leaks is to install a fuel repair patch
(122, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). The patch is a thin aluminum disc that is applied directly over
the exterior side of the leak and bonded in place with epoxy. Patches are available for flush or
protruding head rivets. Because the adhesive used with these patches will cure in the presence of
fuel, it is not necessary to drain the tank prior to patch installation.

(4) If the leakage is around a bolt with a gasket-type seal, torque the bolt. If the leak persists, replace
the seal or the bolt.

(5) If the leakage is at the gasket around an access opening or fitting, torque the attachments. Torque
access plate bolts 45 to 50 inch-pounds. If the leak persists, replace the gasket.

(6) If the leakage is around anchor nuts of access plates on the underside of the wing, seal around the
nuts.

NOTE: If the drain valve was removed during the foregoing checks and repairs, install the valve
retaining nut with the castellated portion down, then torque the nut 75 to 100 inch-pounds
and safety. Refer to the Model 1900 Airliner Series Structural Repair Manual for wing skin
and structural member repairs. Seal repairs as necessary with the appropriate sealer
(Ref. Table 201).

2. FUEL SYSTEM TANK

A. Inspection
NOTE: It is permissible to use the FUEL TANK INTERNAL INSPECTION procedure in the Model 1900
Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual (Ref. Chapter 28-10-01).
It is also permissible to use the (ALTERNATE TANK INSPECTION METHOD) (UC-1 and
After) RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION (Ref. Chapter 28-12-00).
Microbial or fungal contamination is an increasing threat to fuel tanks. Hormoconis resinae is a virulent
acid producing fungus in jet fuel. Unlike typical microbial build-ups, Hormoconis resinae will build up a
matte of fibrous material rapidly in areas of condensation, concentrating the acid generating wastes,
especially in areas protected from fuel sloshing. The Model 1900C has three such areas in each wing.
Two areas are immediately adjacent to both sides (forward and Aft) of the main spar lower cap from
WS 124 to WS 130 and one area is in the collector tank.
NOTE: Hormoconis resinae may not be detectable in many contamination detector kits available in the
United States today. Conidia Bio Sciences has developed and markets a ten minute test kit
specifically designed for Hormoconis resinae. For more information go to www.conidia.com on
the web.

(1) Drain fuel from the collector tanks, main tanks and main tank sumps (Ref. Chapter 12-10-00,
DRAINING THE FUEL SYSTEM (UC-1 and After)).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The fuel system consists of two separate systems connected by a cross-transfer system. Each wing system
has one filler cap, located in each outboard wing leading edge. Fuel flows by gravity through fuel cell
interconnects, from the outboard wing fuel cells to the center section fuel cell and then to the collector tank.
A cross-transfer line connects the two collector tanks. A switch-controlled cross-transfer valve is externally
connected into the line at the forward outboard corner of the LH center section fuel cell. When the valve is in
its normally closed position, each engine draws fuel from its respective fuel tank system. A manually operated
cross-transfer control switch is mounted on the upper fuel control panel, just above the fuel quantity gages.
When the cross-transfer control switch is actuated, power is drawn from a circuit breaker on the lower fuel
control panel to the solenoid of the cross-transfer valve. The cross-transfer valve then opens to allow an
electrically-driven fuel pump to transfer fuel to either the left wing or right wing fuel system.
The electrically-driven pump located in the bottom of each collector tank is provided as a backup pump
should the primary jet pump fail; it is also used for all cross-transfer operations. In the event of an inoperative
electric pump, cross-transfer can only be accomplished from the side of the operative pump.
The engine-driven fuel pump is mounted on the accessory case in conjunction with the fuel control unit. The
engine-driven boost pump is mounted on a drive pad on the aft accessory section of the engine.
In the event of failure of the engine-driven boost pump, the respective red FUEL PRESSURE light in the
annunciator panel will illuminate. The light illuminates when pressure decreases below 1 psig. The light will
be extinguished by switching on the backup boost pump on that side, thus increasing pressure to above
1 psig.
CAUTION: Operation with the fuel pressure light on is limited to 10 hours between overhaul or replacement
of the engine-driven fuel pump.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The fuel system consists of two independent sections connected by a cross-transfer line. Fuel is moved from
the outboard areas of the main tank to the collector tank by gravity. The fuel from the auxiliary tank is pumped
to the collector tank with a manually activated electric pump (Ref. Figures 1, 2 and 3).
A cross-transfer line connects the two collector tanks. A switch-controlled cross-transfer valve is externally
connected into the line at the forward outboard corner of the LH center section fuel cell. When the valve is in
its normally closed position, each engine draws fuel from its respective fuel tank system. A manually operated
cross-transfer control switch is mounted on the upper fuel control panel, just above the fuel quantity gages.
When the cross-transfer control switch is actuated, power is drawn from a circuit breaker on the lower fuel
control panel to the solenoid of the cross-transfer valve. The cross-transfer valve then opens to allow an
electrically-driven fuel pump to transfer fuel to either the left wing or right wing fuel system.
The electrically driven fuel boost pump, located in the bottom of the collector tank, serves a dual purpose. It
transfers fuel from the side on which it is mounted to the collector tank in the opposite wing and serves as a
backup for the engine-driven fuel boost pump. Should one of the electric fuel boost pumps malfunction,
cross-transfer of fuel can only flow from the side with the functioning fuel pump.
CAUTION: Airplane operation with the fuel pressure warning light on is limited to 10 hours before the
engine-driven fuel pump must be overhauled or replaced.
The engine-driven boost pump is mounted on a pad at the aft accessory section of the engine. Should this
pump malfunction, the red L FUEL PRESS or R FUEL PRESS annunciator will illuminate when the pressure
drops below 10 psi. The annunciator will remain illuminated until the electric boost pump is switched on and
fuel pressure rises above 10 psi.

FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING (UA-1 AND AFTER; UB-1 AND AFTER)
28-40-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL

A. Capacitance Fuel Quantity Indicating System


The fuel quantity indicating system is a capacitance type that is compensated for specific gravity and
reads in pounds on a linear scale. Electronic circuits in the system process the signals from the fuel
quantity (capacitance) probes in the various fuel cells for an accurate readout by the fuel quantity
indicators (Ref. Figure 1). Each side of the airplane has an independent gaging system, consisting of a
fuel quantity (capacitance) probe in the collector tank, one in the aft inboard fuel cell, two in the integral
(wet wing) fuel cell, two in the inboard leading edge fuel cell, and two in the center section fuel cell.
Fuel density and dielectric constant vary with respect to temperature, fuel type and fuel batch. The
capacitance gaging system is designed to sense and compensate for these variables. The fuel quantity
probe is simply a variable capacitor comprised of two concentric tubes. The inner tube is profiled by
changing the diameter as a function of height so that the capacitance between the inner and outer tube
is proportional to the tank volume. The tubes serve as fixed electrodes and the fuel of the tank in the
space between the tubes acts as the dielectric of the fuel quantity probe. The capacitance of the fuel
quantity probe varies with respect to the change in the dielectric that results from the ratio of fuel to air in
the fuel cell. As the fuel level between the inner and outer tubes rises, air with a dielectric constant of
one is replaced by fuel with a dielectric constant of approximately two, thus increasing the capacitance
of the fuel quantity probe. This variation in the volume of fuel contained in the fuel cell produces a
capacitance variation that is a linear function of that volume. This function is converted to a linear
current that energizes the fuel quantity indicator. Capacitance fuel probes are designed to produce a
capacitance variation that is linear in relation to variation in weight, even though the weight is nonlinear
with respect to the fuel level. By varying the capacitance per inch, the nonlinear level signal is changed
to a linear function. In addition to its capacitance sensing tubes, each fuel quantity probe contains a
small circuit network that produces an output current whose average value is directly proportional to fuel
level, while automatically compensating for fuel temperature-density variations. Regulated +28 vdc is
impressed across the low Z side (outer tube) of the fuel quantity probe. The ensuing signal is further
processed by a DC amplifier, inside the indicator, which contains a potentiometer for adjusting the “Full”
and “Empty” settings. The DC amplifier controls response time and drives a D'Arsonval meter (Gull
Airborne) or a servo-type meter (Regen Data Systems).
Proper operation of capacitance fuel quantity indicating systems depends on good wire connections.
The Fuel Quantity Test Set (14, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) and the Probe Selector Unit (15, Table 7,
Chapter 91-00-00), are used to check the operation and calibration of the fuel quantity system.

B. Fuel Quantity Capacitance Probes


Each capacitance probe consists of two concentric tubes. The tubes serve as fixed electrodes and the
fuel of the tank in the space between the tubes acts as the dielectric of the probe. The capacitance of
the probe varies with respect to the change in the dielectric that results from the ratio of fuel to air in the
tank. The tubular capacitor elements of each capacitance probe are profiled to match the contour of the
tank in which it is installed to provide linear capacitance versus volume in the tank at varying flight
attitudes.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System


Sensors in the center section tanks provide for low fuel quantity annunciation by sensing the level of fuel
in the tank and transmitting energizing current for the annunciator lights. Sensors in the collector tanks
provide the signals for low fuel feed annunciation in the same manner. The system is functionally tested
by pressing the test switch on the warning annunciator panel mounted on the glareshield.
The low fuel quantity sensor and the low fuel feed sensor are connected electrically in parallel at the
28-vdc-in lead, test signal lead and ground lead. The 28-vdc-out leads are connected individually to
their respective annunciator circuits. Five-ampere circuit breakers provide operating current for the RH
and LH systems.

Figure 1
Low Fuel Quantity Sensors

Page 2
Nov 1/09 28-40-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Low Fuel Quantity Sensors


The low fuel quantity sensors take advantage of a principal which allows light, produced within the
sensor by a reference light source, to pass through the prism of the tip of the sensor when the prism is
submerged in fuel. When the prism is not submerged, the light is reflected off of the bevel of the prism
back into the probe. The reflecting light is then sensed by a light sensitive transistor which conducts
electrically in response to the light and triggers the current to allow the annunciator to illuminate.
An integral self-test circuit provides for functionally testing the sensor and its associated circuitry by
energizing another light source (test light source) in the probe which is positioned to shine into the
transistor even though the prism of the sensor is submerged in fuel (Ref. Figure 1). When the warning
annunciator test switch is pressed, the annunciators will not illuminate immediately, due to a time delay
circuit incorporated into the electronics of the sensor itself. The time delay has been designed to allow
up to a 4-second delay before the annunciators will be illuminated. After illuminating, the annunciators
will remain on for up to 15 seconds. These time delays prevent continuous cycling of the annunciators
when the fuel is sloshing around the inside of the tanks.
As a result of design, the low fuel sensors are self-diagnosing. Circuit failures within the sensor will
always be in the “on” mode; therefore, a false annunciation will result from circuit failure. A failure of the
reference light source will cause the light sensitive transistor to be biased, allowing it to conduct and
resulting in a false annunciation. Failure of the test light source in the sensor will result in the
annunciator lights not being illuminated during test.

1. PROCEDURES
Troubleshooting of the fuel quantity indicating system requires the use of special tools available from Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation Parts and Service Operations. The Fuel Quantity Test Set (14, Table 7, Chapter
91-00-00) simulates the signals necessary to check and calibrate the fuel quantity indicating system. The
Probe Selector Unit (15, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) is used with the test set to check probes and probe
harnesses in groups or individually.
One 9-vdc battery inside the test set provides the power required to read insulation (conductance) and
capacitance. The LCD shows capacitance in picofarads (pF) and conductance in nano siemens (nS). Aircraft
battery power or an auxiliary power source is required to simulate capacitance for indicator checking and
calibration.
Troubleshooting checks are carried out in five phases: checking the system harness insulation, probe
harness insulation, system capacitance, probe capacitance and checking the indicator. If the indicator does
not check or is replaced, it must be calibrated.

A. System Insulation Check


NOTE: Connect a regulated 28-vdc external power supply to the airplane when troubleshooting or
calibrating.
This test procedure may be performed with full, partially full or empty tanks. Display readings are
presented in nano Siemens (nS), equivalent megohms are derived by dividing 1000 by the LCD display
reading: 1000/50 nS = 20 Megohms. These checks are identical for left and right fuel systems.

(1) Place the Fuel Quantity Test Set (14, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) in a convenient location for the
procedures that follow.

(2) Ensure that the test set ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

CAUTION: Power to the airplane must be off when lowering or raising the fuel control panel to
preclude the possibility of shorting any wiring connections to ground.

(3) Ensure that the battery switch is OFF.

(4) Open the fuel quantity system circuit breakers.

(5) Gain access to the fuel quantity indicator.

(6) Disconnect the airplane's harness from the fuel quantity indicator.

(7) Connect the test set to the airplane's harness.

NOTE: Do not connect the test set to the fuel quantity indicator.

(8) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector to IND AMP.

installed in the collector tank.

(15) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to RTN/SIG.

(16) Close the fuel system circuit breakers that were opened in Step (5).

(17) Turn the battery master switch to ON. The maximum time delay from power OFF to power ON is
10 seconds.

(18) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector through the remaining positions. Allow sufficient time for
the LCD to stabilize in each position. The LCD reading in each position should be less than 50 nS,
with the same exceptions as previously noted. Due to continuity through the diodes inside the
probe, when the test set detects a short from RTN to GND, that short will also be seen as a short
from SIG to GND.

(19) When any of the above checks are out of tolerance, isolate the airplane's wire harness from the
probe wire harnesses. The main tank wire harness connectors are behind access panel 4
(Ref. Chapter 6-50-00 WING ACCESS PANELS).

(20) Repeat Steps (8) through (18). Acceptable readings are 5 nS or less. If the insulation readings are
acceptable, the fault lies in the main tank wire harness to the probes. If not, the fault is in the
airplane's wire harness between the indicator in the cockpit out to the wing.

(21) Perform the PROBE INSULATION TEST procedure in this section when any faults have been
isolated to the probe wire harnesses.

NOTE: The results of the preceding checks must be within the stated limits. If any results are
slightly outside of these limits, repeat the entire procedure to ensure that failure of the
checks was not due to human error.

(22) Turn the test set OFF and disconnect the test set.

(23) Connect the airplane's wire harnesses to the original configuration.

B. Probe Insulation Test


The probe insulation check may be performed with the fuel tanks full, partially full or empty.

(14) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to its remaining positions, allowing sufficient time for the
LCD to stabilize in each position: the SIG/RTN position should show an overrange indication (1---);
all others should indicate less than 50 nS; however, if a 114-389001-17 probe is installed in the
collector tank, the LO-Z/RTN position will show an overrange indication.

(15) Using the switch on the selector unit, select each individual probe and repeat Steps (8) through
(14). The reading for each probe should be less than 50 nS, and the total readings for all the
probes must not exceed 50 nS except in the SIG/RTN position, which should show an overrange
indication. When the collector tank probe is selected, an overrange indication will appear if a
114-389001-17 probe is installed.

(16) Should any probe be out of tolerance, that probe or its associated wiring to the bulkhead connector
must be replaced.

(17) Once the fault has been isolated and corrected, the applicable portion of the preceding checks
should be repeated to ensure fault correction.

D. Setting Capacitance Simulation


When performing the indicator linearity check or calibrating the indicator, the test set uses the airplane's
28 volts and it's circuitry to simulate a capacitance for the indicator to read. This value is shown on the
indicator face as a fuel quantity. During a bench test the procedures for simulating capacitance is the
same; the only difference being an auxiliary 28 vdc power supply is used in lieu of the airplane's power.
Use these procedures and Table 104 as required to set capacitance values for checking and calibrating
the indicator.

Page 105

F. Indicator Calibration
The fuel quantity indicator may be calibrated with the fuel tanks either completely empty (undrainable
fuel only) or completely full; however, the preferred procedure is to calibrate the indicator with the tanks
completely empty.
While calibrating the indicator with empty tanks is more reliable than the alternate procedure, the
accuracy of the alternate procedure (full tanks) can be appreciably enhanced if the empty-tanks value is
known. It is recommended that when the empty capacitance value is determined, it should be recorded
in the airframe log for future use in calibrating.
The preferred procedure (undrainable fuel only) makes use of the actual empty-tank value in adjusting
the zero indication. The alternate procedure (full tanks) applies a nominal empty-tank value to the
system by the test set for the zero indication.
Both procedures will be outlined in the following text; however, it must be remembered that the alternate
procedure is a stop-gap procedure only and the system should be recalibrated using the preferred
procedure at the earliest convenience of the operator.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Capacitance Fuel Quantity Indicating System


The fuel indicating system is a capacitance type that is compensated for specific gravity and reads in
pounds on a linear scale. Electronic circuits in the system process the signals from the fuel quantity
(capacitance) probes in the fuel tanks for an accurate reporting of fuel quantity (Ref. Figure 1). Each
side of the airplane has an independent gaging system with five probes strategically located in various
areas of the main tank, one in the collector tank and two in the auxiliary tank.
Fuel density and dielectric constant vary with respect to temperature, fuel type and fuel batch. The
capacitance gaging system is designed to sense and compensate for these variables. The fuel quantity
probe is simply a variable capacitor comprised of two concentric tubes. The inner tube is profiled by
changing the tube diameter so that the capacitance between the inner and outer tube is proportional to
the tank volume. The tubes serve as fixed electrodes and the fuel between the tubes acts as the
dielectric for the probe. The capacitance of the fuel quantity probe varies with respect to changes in the
dielectric that results from the ratio of fuel to air in the fuel cell. As the fuel level between the inner and
outer tubes rises, air with a dielectric constant of one is replaced by fuel with a dielectric constant of
approximately two, thus increasing the capacitance of the fuel quantity probe. This variation in the
volume of fuel contained in the fuel cell produces a capacitance variation that is a linear function of that
volume. This function is converted to a linear current that energizes the fuel quantity indicator.
Capacitance fuel probes are designed to produce a capacitance variation that is linear in relation to
variation in weight, even though the weight is nonlinear with respect to the fuel level. By varying the
capacitance per inch, the nonlinear level signal is changed to a linear function. In addition to its
capacitance sensing tubes, each fuel quantity probe contains a small circuit network that produces an
output current whose average value is directly proportional to fuel level, while automatically
compensating for fuel temperature density variations. The ensuing signal is further processed by a DC
amplifier inside the indicator, which contains a potentiometer for adjusting the “FULL” and “EMPTY”
settings. The DC amplifier controls response time and drives a D'Arsonval type meter on Gull Airborne
indicators or a servo-type meter on Ragen Data Systems indicators.
Correct operation of the capacitance fuel quantity indicating system depends on proper system
connections. These connections should be thoroughly inspected before performing other maintenance
procedures. For detailed system checks and calibration, refer to FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING -
TROUBLESHOOTING in this Chapter.

B. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System


Sensors in the inboard wall of the main tank provide low fuel quantity notification when the fuel quantity
drops below the sensing element prism. When the prism is not submerged, the probe triggers current to
the appropriate annunciator light. Sensors in the collector tank area of the main tank provide the signal
for the low fuel feed annunciator light in the same manner. The system may be functionally tested by
pressing the test switch mounted adjacent to the annunciator panel (Ref. Figure 2).
The low fuel quantity sensors and the low fuel feed sensors are connected electrically in parallel at the
28 vdc in, test signal, and ground leads. The 28 vdc out leads are connected individually to their
respective annunciator circuits. Five-ampere circuit breakers provide operating current for the RH and
LH systems.

Page 1
28-41-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The low fuel quantity sensors operate on a principal that allows a light produced within the sensor by a
reference light source to pass through a prism on the tip of the sensor when the probe is submerged in
fuel. When the prism is not submerged, the light is reflected back, off the prism bevel and back into the
probe. The reflecting light is then sensed by a light sensitive transistor which triggers the current for the
appropriate annunciator light.
An integral self-test circuit provides for functionally testing the sensor and its associated circuitry by
energizing a test light source in the probe. The test light is positioned to shine into the light-sensitive
transistor even when the probe is submersed in fuel. When the warning annunciator test switch is
pressed, illumination of the annunciators is not immediate because of a time delay built into the circuitry.
The time delay is designed to allow up to a 4 second delay before the annunciator light is activated. The
time delay feature prevents false cycling of the annunciator light when the fuel is moving around in the
wing.
Circuit failures within the sensor will always be in the ON mode; therefore, a false annunciator will result
if the circuit fails. A failure of the reference light source will cause the light sensitive transistor to be
biased, allowing it to conduct and resulting in a false annunciation.

1. PROCEDURES
When the low fuel quantity indicating system fails to test, a complete check of the system wiring is indicated.
Once the technician is satisfied as to the integrity of the system wiring, the fault may be assumed to be in the
sensor, and the inoperative sensor may be replaced according to the procedure under FUEL QUANTITY
INDICATING - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.
NOTE: No adjustments or repairs can be made to the sensor; therefore, an improperly operating sensor
must be replaced.

A. System Insulation Check


NOTE: Connect a regulated 28 vdc external power supply to the airplane when troubleshooting or
calibrating. This test procedure may be performed with full, partially full or empty tanks. Display
readings are presented in nano Siemens (nS), equivalent megohms are derived by dividing
1000 by the LCD display reading: 1000/ 50 nS = 20 Megohms. These checks are identical for
left and right fuel systems.

(1) Locate the Fuel Quantity Test Set (14, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) conveniently for the procedures
that follow.

(2) Ensure that the test set ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

CAUTION: Power to the airplane must be off when lowering or raising the fuel control panel to
preclude the possibility of shorting any wiring connections to ground.

(3) Ensure that the battery switch is OFF.

(4) Open the fuel quantity system circuit breakers.

(5) Set the fuel select switch to MAIN.

(6) Gain access to the fuel quantity indicator.

(7) Disconnect the airplane's harness from the fuel quantity indicator.

(8) Connect the test set to the airplane’s harness.

NOTE: Do not connect the test set to the fuel quantity indicator.

(9) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector to IND AMP.

(10) Place the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch to IN nS.

(11) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to LO-Z GND.

(12) Place the shorting switch to the NO position.

(13) Place the ON/OFF switch to ON and allow sufficient time for the LCD to stabilize.

(14) The LCD reading should be less than 50 nS.

Page 101
28-41-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(15) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector through the remaining positions. Allow sufficient time for
the LCD to stabilize in each position. The LCD reading in each position should be less than 50 nS,
except in the SIG/RTN position which will show an overrange indication (1---).

(16) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to RTN/SIG.

(17) Close the fuel system circuit breakers that were opened in Step (4).

(18) Turn the battery master switch to ON. The maximum time delay from power OFF to power ON is
10 seconds.

(19) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector through the remaining positions. Allow sufficient time for
the LCD to stabilize in each position. The LCD reading in each position should be less than 50 nS,
with the same exceptions as previously noted. Due to continuity through the diodes inside the
probe, when the test set detects a short from RTN to GND, that short will also be seen as a short
from SIG to GND.

(20) Set the fuel select switch to AUX. Repeat Steps (11) through (19).

(21) When any of the above checks are out of tolerance, isolate the airplane's wire harness from the
probe wire harnesses. The main tank wire harness connectors are behind access panel 21 and
the auxiliary tank wire harness connectors are behind panel 25. Refer to Chapter 6-50-00 WING
ACCESS PANELS illustration in the Dimensions and Areas section.

(22) Repeat Steps (9) through (19). Acceptable readings are 5 nS or less. If the insulation readings are
acceptable, the fault lies in the main tank wire harness to the probes. If not, the fault is in the
airplane's wire harness between the indicator in the cockpit out to the wing.

(23) Perform PROBE INSULATION TEST when any faults have been isolated to the probe wire
harnesses.

NOTE: The results of the preceding checks must be within the stated limits. If any results are
slightly outside of these limits, repeat the entire procedure to ensure that failure of the
checks was not due to human error.

(24) Turn the test set OFF and disconnect the test set.

(25) Connect the airplane's wire harnesses to the original configuration.

B. Probe Insulation Test


The probe insulation check may be performed with the fuel tanks full, partially full or empty.

(1) Ensure that the battery master switch is OFF.

(2) Open all fuel system circuit breakers.

(3) Set the fuel select switch to MAIN.

harness.

(8) Connect the test set to the probe selector unit with the ACFT connector.

NOTE: Do not connect the test set IND connector to the airplane's wire harness.

(9) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION switch to IND AMP.

(10) Place the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch to IN nS.

(11) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to LO-Z GND.

(12) Set the probe selector ALL/EACH toggle switch to ALL.

(13) Set the probe selector MAIN/AUX toggle switch to MAIN.

(14) Place the test set ON/OFF switch in ON and allow sufficient time for the LCD to stabilize.

(15) The LCD reading should be less than 50 nS.

(16) Rotate the INS TEST POINTS selector to its remaining positions, allowing sufficient time for the
LCD to stabilize in each position: the SIG/RTN position should show an overrange indication (1---);
all others should indicate less than 50 nS.

(17) Set the probe selector ALL/EACH toggle switch to EACH.

(18) Using the switch on the selector unit, select each individual probe and repeat Steps (10) through
(15): the reading for each probe should be less than 50 nS, and the total readings for all the probes
must not exceed 50 nS except in the SIG/RTN position, which should show an overrange
indication.

(19) Set the fuel select switch to AUX.

(20) Set the probe selector MAIN/AUX toggle switch to AUX.

(21) Set the probe selector BOTH/EACH toggle switch to BOTH.

(22) Repeat Steps (11) and (14) through (16) to read the insulation values of the auxiliary tank probe
harness.

(23) Set the probe selector BOTH/EACH toggle switch to EACH and repeat Step (18).

(24) Should any probe be out of tolerance, that probe or its associated wiring to the bulkhead connector
must be replaced.

E. Setting Capacitance Simulation


When performing the indicator linearity check or calibrating the indicator, the Fuel Quantity Test Set
(14, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) uses the airplane's 28 volts and it's circuitry to simulate a capacitance
for the indicator to read. This value is shown on the indicator face as a fuel quantity. During a bench test
the procedures for simulating capacitance is the same, the only difference being that an auxiliary 28 vdc
power supply is used in lieu of the airplane's power. Use these procedures and Tables 104 and 105 as
required to set capacitance values for checking and calibrating the indicator.
NOTE: Connect the test set ACFT connector to the airplane’s wire harness and the IND connector to
the indicator.

(1) Set the TEST FUNCTION selector switch to CAP SIM CAL (NORM SYS).

(2) Set the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch to SYSTEM.

(3) Set the MAIN/TOT-AUX/NAC switch to MAIN/TOT.

(4) Set the shorting switch to NO.

(5) Set the pF switch to 200 for values from 0 to 200 pF or in the 1000 pF position for values over 200.

(6) Turn the test set ON.

(7) Set the CAP SIM (pF) 100's and 10's thumb wheels to the desired capacitance value to be
simulated.

(8) Press and hold the PRESS TO READ CAP (pF) button to read the capacitance in the LCD.

(9) Use the trimmer control to fine adjust the capacitance setting.

(10) Set the TEST FUNCTION switch to IND AMP.

(11) Turn on the battery switch and apply auxiliary power (28 vdc) to airplane.

(12) The fuel quantity indicator will read the capacitance simulated by the test set and display a fuel
quantity in pounds.

F. Indicator Linearity Check


The following linearity check may be performed on the fuel quantity indicator with the fuel tanks full,
partially full or empty.

(1) Ensure that the battery master switch is OFF.

(2) Locate the Fuel Quantity Test Set (14, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) convenient to the fuel control
panel on the pilot's sidewall.

(3) Open the appropriate fuel quantity system circuit breakers.

(4) Gain access to the fuel quantity indicator.

(5) Connect the test set ACFT connector to the indicator wire harness and the IND connector to the
indicator.

Page 110

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(6) Set the fuel select switch to MAIN.

(7) Use the SETTING CAPACITANCE SIMULATION procedures in this section, to set the test set to
the values shown in Table 104.

(8) Set the indicator needle deflection, using the EMP 1/E1 or E adjustment, for each required quantity
shown in Table 104.

(9) Set the fuel select switch to AUX and check the empty and full readings of the indicator in
accordance with the values in Table 105.

(10) Set the indicator needle deflection by using the EMP 1/E1 or E adjustment to the required quantity.

(11) If the indicator will not adjust to the required quantity reading for the capacitance simulated, it must
be replaced.

(12) Turn the battery switch OFF.

(13) Turn the test set OFF.

(14) Disconnect the test set.

(15) Connect the airplane's wire harness to the indicator and return the airplane to the original
configuration.

G. Indicator Calibration
The fuel quantity indicator may be calibrated with the fuel tanks either completely empty (undrainable
fuel only) or completely full; however, the preferred procedure is to calibrate the indicator with the tanks
completely empty.
While calibrating the indicator with empty tanks is more reliable than the alternate procedure, the
accuracy of the alternate procedure (full tanks) can be appreciably enhanced if the empty-tanks value is
known. It is recommended that when the empty capacitance value is determined, it should be recorded
in the airframe log for future use in calibrating.
The preferred procedure (undrainable fuel only) makes use of the actual empty-tank value in adjusting
the zero indication. The alternate procedure (full tanks) applies a nominal empty-tank value to the
system by the test set for the zero indication.
Both procedures will be outlined in the following text; however, it must be remembered that the alternate

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION


GENERAL INFORMATION
30-00-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The airplane is equipped with a variety of ice and rain protection systems that can be utilized during operation
under inclement weather conditions. Electrical heating elements embedded in the windshield provide
adequate protection against the formation of ice while air from the cabin heating systems prevents fogging to
ensure visibility during operation under icing conditions. Heavy duty windshield wipers for both the pilot and
copilot provide further visibility during rainy flight conditions. Pneumatic deicer boots on the wings, the
stabilons, and the horizontal stabilizers prevent the formation of ice during flight. Regulated bleed air pressure
and vacuum are cycled to the pneumatic boots for the inflation-deflation cycle. The selector switch that
controls the system permits automatic single cycle operation or manual operation.
Ice protection for the engine is provided by an inertial separation system utilizing a moveable vane and
bypass door actuated through an electric actuator for each engine. When icing conditions are encountered,
the moveable vane and ice bypass door are lowered into the inlet airstream to induce an abrupt turn in the
airflow before entering the engine plenum. The heavy ice-laden air is then discharged overboard through a
bypass duct in the lower cowling at the aft end of the air duct while directing the lighter ice-free air into the
engine plenum. The lip around each engine air inlet is heated by hot exhaust gases to prevent the formation
of ice. The system is functioning anytime the engine is running and does not require any crew action. The
propellers are protected against icing by electrothermal boots on each blade that automatically cycle upon
actuation. Heat from the boots reduces the grip of the ice, which is then removed by the centrifugal effect of
the propeller rotation and the blast of the air stream.
Engine bleed air is routed by a hose through a solenoid operated shutoff valve to a distributor manifold that
directs the hot air to the brakes for deicing. A heating element in each pitot mast and alternate static button
prevents them from becoming clogged with ice. The heating elements are connected into the airplane
electrical system. Two circuit breaker switches on the left subpanel control the heating elements.

ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION


BRAKE DEICE SYSTEM
30-01-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The heated air for brake deicing is supplied by bleeding air from the compressor of each engine. This engine
bleed air is routed by a line on the left side of each nacelle to a solenoid operated shutoff valve in the center
of the firewall. From the shutoff valve, bleed air is routed through a hose secured to the aft side of the landing
gear strut and down to a distributor manifold attached to the two bottom bolts in the piston and axle assembly.
The bleed air is directed to the brake for each wheel through orifices around the circumference of each ring of
the distributor manifold.
The Brake Deice System is controlled by an ON-OFF toggle switch mounted on the subpanel to the right of
the pilot's control column. When this switch is placed in the ON position, power from the airplane electrical
system is supplied through a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the copilot's sidepanel to a control module located
under the center aisle floorboard at FS 213.25, in line with the first cabin window. This module supplies
current to open the solenoid shutoff valves in each wheel well, allowing the hot bleed air to enter the
distributor manifold for diffusion through the orifices to deice the brakes. A switch on the bottom of each
solenoid simultaneously provides a signal to illuminate the green L BK DEICE ON and R BK DEICE ON
annunciator lights. The annunciator panel lights are located forward of the pedestal in the center of the
subpanel. If the airplane takes off without the control switch for the brake deice system having been switched
OFF, a circuit is completed through the uplock switch to a timing circuit in the control module when the main
landing gears reach the up and locked position. This timing circuit will cycle the deice system off after 10
minutes of operation, thereby closing the solenoid valve in the wheel well to shut off the flow of bleed air to
the brakes so that adjacent components in the wheel well will incur no damage through overheating. Should
the bleed air pressure activated tubes melt, LH and RH overheat pressure switches provide a signal to
illuminate the amber L BK DI OVHT and R BK DI OVHT lights in the annunciator panel. The system cannot
be activated until the landing gear is cycled from the up and locked position. Refer to Chapter 32-41-00 for
Removal and Installation procedures of the Brake Deicer.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL

A. Surface Deicer System


The deicer and vacuum system is operated with pressure obtained by tapping off bleed air from the
engine compressors (Ref. Figure 1). This air is routed through a regulator valve that is set to maintain
the pressure required to inflate the deicer boots on the leading edge of each wing, the stabilons, and the
horizontal stabilizers. To assure operation of the system should one engine fail, a check valve is
incorporated in the bleed air line from each engine to prevent the escape of air pressure into the
chamber of the inoperative compressor. The bleed air from the engine is also routed through an ejector
that employs the venturi effect to produce vacuum for deflation of the deicer boots and operation of the
instruments. The inflation and deflation phases of operation are controlled by means of a distributor
valve. The deicer system is actuated by a three-way toggle switch on the LH subpanel. This switch is
spring-loaded to return to the OFF position from either the MANUAL or SINGLE cycle position. When
the switch is pushed to the SINGLE cycle position, one complete cycle of deicer operation automatically
follows as the distributor valves open to inflate the deicer boots. The wing deicer boots inflate during the
first six-second inflation period. The center section, stabilons and horizontal stabilizer deicer boots
inflate during the second six-second inflation period. After the inflation period, a timer relay switches the
distributor valves to OFF, or VACUUM position for deflation of the deicer boots. When the switch is
pushed to the MANUAL position, all the boots will inflate and will continue to hold in the inflated
positions as long as the switch is held in position. Upon release of the switch, the distributor valve
returns to the OFF position and the deicer boots remain deflated until the switch is actuated again.
The deicer system on this airplane is equipped with a combination vacuum and pressure line from a
central distributor valve to provide pressure for inflation and vacuum for deflation of the boots.
The vacuum line for the instruments is routed through a suction relief valve that is designed to admit into
the system the amount of air required to reduce venturi vacuum sufficiently for proper operation of the
instruments.
CAUTION: Do not operate the deicer boots below -40°F. Exceeding this limit can result in permanent
damage to the deicers.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. PROCEDURES
Since the deicer boots and related components operate on clean air bled directly from the engine, little is
required in the way of servicing the system. The only possible source of contamination is through the air
entering the vacuum regulator valve in the vacuum system. The filter for the vacuum system is installed
outside the pressurized area in the nose compartment. This filter should be periodically replaced according to
the time limits stated in Chapter 5. Other than this, the only servicing required is for the vacuum regulator
valve, which prevents the vacuum system from exceeding operating limits by allowing the proper amount of
air to enter the vacuum lines.
The vacuum regulator valve is mounted on the pressure bulkhead in the nose compartment. Since the
vacuum regulator valve bleeds outside air into the vacuum system, it is essential that the regulator valve filter
be kept clean. Frequency of cleaning the filter will vary with the conditions under which the airplane is
operated; however, should it appear that the valve needs adjustment, especially to lower the vacuum, the
filter should be cleaned and the setting rechecked before readjusting the valve. The valve can be removed for
cleaning by disconnecting the lines from the valve and removing the retaining nuts. The valve should be
cleaned in cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and dried with compressed air.

2. SURFACE DEICER BOOT

A. Cleaning
The surface of the deicer boots should be checked for indications of engine oil after servicing and at the
end of each flight. Any oil spots that are found should be removed with a mild detergent soap and water
solution. Care should be exercised during cleaning to avoid scrubbing the surface of the boots, as this
will tend to remove the special Icex application. It should also be remembered during servicing of the
airplane that the deicer boots are made of soft flexible stock, which may be damaged if refueling hoses
are dragged over the surface of the boots, or if ladders and platforms are rested against them.

B. Surface Deicer Fast Boots Removal and Installation


(Pressure Sensitive Adhesion)
For airplanes equipped with Kit 129-4029-1, or any combination of Fast Boots, (Ref. Chapter 30 of the
Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual and B. F. Goodrich Pneumatic De-Icer
Installation and Removal Instructions; 30-10-70, latest revision).

C. Removal
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using methyl propyl ketone on the
deicer boot. Should the boot be labeled ESTANE, solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00)
may be used on the boot. DO NOT ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH ESTANE BOOTS.

(1) Starting at one corner of the upper trailing edge of the boot, soften the adhesion line with solvent
(14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on neoprene boots or solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for
Estane boots.

(2) Apply a minimum amount of solvent to the seam line while carefully applying tension to peel back
the boot.

Page 201
30-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Using a brush or trigger type oil can to apply solvent, separate the boot from the leading edge for a
chordwise distance of four inches across the upper trailing edge.

NOTE: The area between the boot and leading edge which has been separated will act as a
reservoir for the solvent; consequently, the boot may be pulled forward with uniform
tension.

(4) From the centerline of the leading edge, continue to apply solvent while tension is being applied to
undercut the adhesive until the boot is removed.

(5) Thoroughly clean all adhesive from the leading edge with clean, grease-free cloths dampened with
solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) for Estane boots.

D. Installation
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using methyl propyl ketone on the
deicer boot. Should the boot be labeled ESTANE, toluol may be used on the boot. DO NOT
ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ESTANE BOOTS.

(1) With 3/4-inch masking tape, mask off the area to be covered by the boot, allowing 1/2 to 3/4-inch
margin beyond the actual area. Mask off accurately to avoid unnecessary clean up of excess
adhesive.

(2) Clean the area to be covered by the boot with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with solvent
(14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for
Estane boots. Change cloths frequently, and never dip a used cloth in a clean supply of solvent
(14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(3) Reclean the metal surface with a clean cloth dampened with methyl propyl ketone for neoprene
boots or toluol for Estane boots, then quickly wipe the surface dry with a clean, grease-free dry
cloth.

CAUTION: Use plastic, not metal, containers for Turco Metal-Glo No. 3 (15, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). It is also recommended that persons handling the cleaner wear rubber
gloves, even though the cleaner is harmless to skin if immediately washed off with
soap and water.

(4) Vigorously scrub the metal surface with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with Turco Metal-Glo
No. 3 (15, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). After one minute contact, wipe the surface dry with a clean,
grease-free dry cloth. Cover the cleaned surface with craft paper and wait an hour before
rechecking the surface for cleanliness with a clean, dry, grease-free white cloth. If the clean cloth
picks up any dirt, repeat the preceding Steps.

(5) Carefully clean the rough back surface of the boot at least twice with a clean, grease-free cloth
moistened with methyl propyl ketone for neoprene boots or toluol for Estane boots. Change cloths
frequently to avoid recontaminating the cleaned portions of the boot. If necessary, continue
cleaning the boot until completely clean.

NOTE: If the finish on the back of the boot is smooth, mechanically roughen the bonding surface
before cleaning.

(6) Prepare test strips (Ref. the TEST CONTROL STRIPS procedure in this section).

Page 202
Nov 1/09 30-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(7) Open the container and thoroughly stir the adhesive (16, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) with a clean
stick. Do not attempt to use adhesive that has jelled too much to drip from the stick.

NOTE: Do not apply adhesive at temperature below 40°F or when the relative humidity is above
80%. If this requirement cannot be met, allow an extended drying time. Do not apply
adhesive when the air is contaminated with dust or other elements. The following table will
serve as a guide for adhesive application:

Temperature In °F Drying Time In Minutes


Above 80° 30
60° to 80° 45
40° to 60° 60

(8) Either of the two following methods may be used to apply the cement:

NOTE: Brushing too long in one area will cause the cement to roll or ball up.

(a) Brush one even coat of adhesive (16, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on both the deicer boot
back and metal surfaces. After permitting the adhesive to dry for at least 30 minutes, apply a
second even coat to both surfaces. Allow the second coat to dry for at least 30 minutes,
preferably an hour, before installing the deicer boot. Observe the above note concerning ball
up for both applications.

NOTE: For spraying consistency, dilute the adhesive with a solvent blend of 2 parts solvent
(17, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to 1 part solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00)
until a No. 4 Ford cup will empty in 20 seconds.

(b) Using a spray gun (Binks No. 7 with No. 63 PB head, De Vilbiss JGA 75X, or their
equivalent), spray one even coat of adhesive (16, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on both the
deicer boot back and metal surfaces. After permitting the adhesive to dry for at least 30
minutes, spray a second even cross coat on both surfaces. Allow the second coat to dry for
at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour, before installing the deicer boot.

(9) Using No. 50 holes drilled into the leading edge at the extremities of boot locations as a guide,
snap a chalk line along the leading edge of the airfoil. Trace the chalk line with a ball point pen and
remove the chalk line with a dry cloth. The line should be intensified with a ball point pen after the
adhesive is applied.

(10) Securely attach hoses to the deicer boot connections without leaving fingerprints on the adhesive
side of the deicer boot. Have a sufficient number of personnel present to handle the boot
effectively.

(11) Using a clean, lint-free cloth heavily moistened (but not dripping) with solvent (18, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00), reactivate the adhesive on the airfoil leading edge and boot in spanwise strips
about 6-inches wide and 24-inches long. Match the boot reference line to the leading edge chalk
line, and roll the boot surface spanwise along the leading edge with a 2-inch rubber roller to
remove all air from between the adjoining surfaces. Rubbing the adhesive surfaces excessively
will remove some of the adhesive. If the boot is off course, carefully peel back the boot, using a
minimum amount of methyl propyl ketone for neoprene boots or toluol for Estane boots, and
reposition it properly.

Page 203
30-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Do not allow excessive amounts of solvent to contact the boot; the solvent is to
undercut the adhesive. If the adhesive is removed from either the boot or leading
edge, it must be replaced and allowed to dry for 30 minutes minimum before
continuing.

(12) Continue to activate the surfaces and roll on each top half and lower half of the boot in sequence.
Exerting pressure, use the 2-inch rubber roller on the entire surface of the boot parallel with the
inflatable tubes and use the narrow steel stitcher roller on the trailing edge. Take care to avoid
entrapping air throughout the rolling operation. If an air blister does occur, carefully remove the
boot, using a brush dipped in methyl propyl ketone for neoprene boots or toluol for Estane boots,
so that the air can escape, then press the surface down until the adhesive surface seals.

(13) Using a sharp knife, trim the boot as required for proper fit. A 0.75-inch edge distance must be
maintained between the inflatable tube and the edge of the trim. After the trimming process has
been completed, re-roll the entire surface of the deicer boot.

(14) Cut out the wing deice boot around the stall warning transducer and any inspection plates which
fall beneath the boot installation to provide 0.02 to 0.06-inch of clearance around the perimeter of
the transducer or inspection plates.

(15) Remove all masking tape and clean excessive adhesive off with a clean white cloth dampened
with methyl propyl ketone for neoprene boots or toluol for Estane boots, being careful not to allow
the solvent to run under the edges of the boot.

(16) Perform an adhesion test of the test strips for boot adhesion acceptability. (Ref. the TEST
CONTROL STRIPS procedure in this section).

(17) Install masking tape approximately 1/4-inch around the boot for uniform straight lines, then cover
all exposed cement and fair around all cut edges and trailing edges of the boot with sealer (19,
Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Remove the tape before the sealing compound cures.

NOTE: The boots must not be operated for a 48 hour set time after installation. If the deicers are
flexed before the 48-hour set time, the deicer boots must be checked for signs of lifting as
soon as possible and be reinstalled or replaced if visible signs of lifting are present.
The set time may be shortened (Ref. the SHORTENED 1300L DRY TIME FOR
STANDARD PNEUMATIC DEICERS procedure in this section).

E. Shortened 1300L Dry Time For Standard Pneumatic Deicers


NOTE: The following instructions are included to supply relief for the recommended 48 hours dry time
for 1300L adhesive on pneumatic deicers. This applies to the deicers with 1 1/4-inch or
narrower tubes operating at 20 psi or less pressure and is not applicable to heated deicers/
anti-icers with larger than 1 1/4-inch tubes, or to pneumatic deicers operating at pressures
higher than 20 psi.
CAUTION: Attempts to speed up drying time by applying heat externally through the deicers are not
recommended since it is important for the bondline to be at the indicated temperature. The
deicers will insulate the bondline from the heat being applied through it, and excess heat
could cause deterioration of the deicers.
NOTE: While the Chart allows a reduction in set time after installation, it is recommended that the
actual set time before inflation of the deicers be extended as much as possible.

The chart gives the reduced set times after installation of the applicable pneumatic deicers
(Ref. Figure 202). The aircraft may be operated after this set time as long as the deicer system is not
used until after the 48-hour period. If the deicers are flexed before a 48-hour dry time, the deicer boots
must be checked for signs of lifting as soon as possible and be reinstalled or replaced if visible signs of
lifting are present.

(1) First determine the room temperature and humidity.

(2) Locate the point on the Chart where the temperature (scale at the top of the Chart) and humidity
(scale on the side of the Chart) intercept.

NOTE: If the intercept point falls the Installation Not Recommended area, do not install the
de-icers.
If intercept point falls in the 24 Hour Dry Time area, allow installation to dry for 24 hours
before inflating the de-icers.
CAUTION: Allow at least the set time indicated by the Chart before inflating the deicers. If the
deicers are flexed before a 48-hour dry time, the deicer boots must be checked for
signs of lifting as soon as possible and be reinstalled or replaced if visible signs of
lifting are present.

(3) If intercept point falls in the middle area, read the recommended dry time by moving straight down
to the set time scale (at the bottom of the Chart).

3. TEST CONTROL STRIPS


Deicer boot adhesion shall be checked through the use of a test strip applied at the time of boot installation. A
one inch by eight inches test strip shall be prepared from a full thickness piece of boot material (scrap or
previously rejected boot material). One adhesion test strip shall be prepared for each batch or mixture of
adhesive used. The strip shall be applied in a convenient area adjacent to the boot. The metal and rubber
surface area shall be prepared in the same manner as prescribed for the boot installation.
NOTE: The test strip may be run on a separate aluminum panel of the same alloy as the leading edge skin.
The same surface preparations and bonding requirements as previously stated shall apply.
When applying the test strip, leave approximately an inch of one end free of adhesive for the purpose of
attaching a clamp for the adhesion test. Allow the test strip to cure for the same time prescribed for the boot
installation.

A. Adhesion Test
Using a spring scale attached to a clamp on the test strip unbonded end, measure the force required to
remove the strip at a rate of four-inches per minute. The pull shall be applied 180° to the surface (strip
doubled back on itself). A minimum requirement of seven pounds tension shall be required to remove
the test strip. In the event of failure, the acceptance of the boot installation shall be determined by the
BOOT ACCEPTABILITY requirements in the following paragraph.

B. Boot Acceptability
In the event of test strip failure, acceptability shall be based on the following:

(1) Carefully loosen and lift one corner of the newly installed deicer boot sufficiently to attach a clamp.

(2) Attach a spring scale to the clamp and pull with a force 180° to the surface in such a direction that
the boot tends to be removed on a diagonal.

(3) If a force of seven pounds-per-inch of width can be exerted under these conditions, the installation
shall be considered as satisfactory.

(4) Attach the boot corner (Ref. the SURFACE DEICER BOOT INSTALLATION procedure in this
section).

(5) Failure of the boot to meet the above requirements shall result in complete removal and
reinstallation of the boot.

C. Surface Deicer Boot Age Master and Icex Application


Rubber protect agent (29, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is a liquid that protects rubber products from the
ozone and extends the life of these parts. Age Master No. 1 and Icex compound are both products of
the B.F. Goodrich Company. Compound (20, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is a silicone base material
specifically compounded to lower the strength of ice adhesion on the surfaces of deicer boots. Icex will
not harm the boots and offers added ozone protection. When properly applied and renewed at periodic
intervals, Icex provides a smooth, polished film that evens out microscopic irregularities on the rubber
surfaces, so that ice formations have less chance to cling and are removed faster and cleaner when the
boots are operated. Rubber protect agent (29, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and compound (20, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) are applied as follows:

Page 206
Nov 1/09 30-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(1) Wash the boot with mild soap and water. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water and allow
to dry.

(2) Solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) may be used to remove substances which cannot be
removed using soap and water. However, the boot must be washed again with mild soap and
water, rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry.

(3) Apply masking tape adjacent to the boots to be treated to prevent staining.

CAUTION: To avoid the loss of vital components needed for the protective agent to penetrate the
rubber and for fire safety precautions, do not spray Age Master No. 1.

(4) Using a brush or three-inch trim roller or a two-inch by four-inch swab of lint-free cloth (wet but not
dripping), apply a heavy coat of Age Master No. 1. Plastic or rubber gloves should be used with
the swab method to prevent staining the skin. Apply at a rate of 0.4 to 0.5 fluid ounces per square
foot (130 to 160 ml. per square meter). Cover the surface completely and evenly in uniform
strokes.

(5) Allow the first coat of Age Master No. 1 to dry from five to ten minutes.

NOTE: A minimum two coats of Age Master No. 1 are required for a complete treatment.

(6) Apply a second coat of Age Master No. 1 as outlined in Step (4) Apply a total of 0.75 fluid ounces
per square foot (240 ml. per square meter) for effective protection. Allow the second coat to dry 20
to 30 minutes before handling.

NOTE: After applying the second coat of Age Master No. 1 to the boot, let it dry for a minimum of
24 hours before applying Icex compound. Without further cleaning, Icex compound is then
applied directly over the Age Master No. 1.

(7) Allow the two coats of Age Master No. 1 to dry 24 hours.

(8) Thin the compound (20, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) with Trichloroethane (21, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) to obtain a thin coat for application.

(9) Use a clean cloth saturated with the thinned Icex compound for application. Hand buff with a clean
cloth until a smooth glossy surface is obtained.

NOTE: Both the Age Master No. 1 and Icex compound should be reapplied every 150 flight hours.

4. SURFACE DEICER BOOT REPAIRS


NOTE: Patch sizes can be trimmed to accommodate small areas, as long as the patch extends a minimum
of 1/2-inch beyond the damaged area on all sides.
To maintain the maximum functional efficiency of the surface deicer boots, the following limits are allowed:
NOTE: For pin hole repair, use Kit (172, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Refer to instructions provided with the
kit for repair procedure.
• Pin holes 1/16 in. or smaller - no more than 20 pinhole repairs should be made per 12-inch square or
• Small patches 1 1/4-inch x 2 1/2-inch - 3 patches per 12-inch square or
• Medium patches 2 1/2-inch x 5-inch - 2 patches per 12-inch square or
• Large patches 5-inch x 10-inch - 1 patch per 12-inch square or
• 2 small patches and 1 medium patch per 12-inch square.

A. Goodrich Pneumatic De-Icer Patch Replacement


The following guidelines are recommended in assessing the need for immediate replacement of repair
patches on Goodrich pneumatic de-icers (Ref. Figure 202).

(1) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch results in loss of air at the site of the patch, the patch
should be replaced prior to the next flight.

(2) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch extends more than 0.19 inch inward from the edge of the
patch, the patch should be replaced prior to the next flight.

(3) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch extends less than 0.19 inch inward from the edge of the
patch and the patch is not leaking air, the patch should be replaced at the next available
maintenance opportunity.

B. Resurfacing Deicer Boots


Resurface the seems if the surfacing material has abraded off or if the surfacing has developed cracks.
The following procedures should be followed when resurfacing deicer boots:

(1) Roughen the entire surface of the boot with fine sandpaper.

(2) Clean the deicer boot thoroughly with solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or uncontaminated
unleaded aviation gasoline.

Page 208
Nov 1/09 30-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Clean the surface again with a clean lint-free cloth moistened with toluol or uncontaminated
unleaded aviation gasoline.

(4) Apply masking tape beyond the upper and lower trailing edges, leaving a 1/4-inch gap of bare
metal.

NOTE: If cement (22, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) has aged 3 months or more, it may be
necessary to dilute it with solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to obtain the proper
brushing consistency. Mix thoroughly approximately 5 parts cement to 1 part toluol.

(5) Brush one coat of cement (22, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on the boot and allow it to dry at least
one hour. Then apply a second coat and allow it to dry at least four hours before operating the
deicers. The airplane may be flown as soon as the cement is dry.

C. Scuff Damage
This type of damage is most commonly encountered and generally will require no repair; however, close
visual inspection when the boots are cycled may expose deep scuffs and cuts. On those occasions, if
the entire ply surface (0.010-inch) has been removed, or if the boot is cut, it is necessary to patch the
damage. B.F. Goodrich Kit 74-451-C (for neoprene boots) or Kit 74-451-H (for Estane boots) contain
cold patches suitable for repairing the damaged area. B.F. Goodrich Kit 74-451-P is an acceptable
alternate for Kit 74-451-H (for Estane boots). Cold patch repairs can be made as follows:

(1) Clean the area around the damage with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with solvent
(18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or unleaded gasoline.

(2) Using steel wool, buff the area around the damage so that it is moderately, but completely
roughened.

NOTE: A locally manufactured buffing shield, fabricated from any thin sheet material, will assure a
neater repair.

(3) Wipe the buffed area with a clean grease-free cloth dampened with solvent (18, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) to remove loose particles.

(4) Select a repair patch which will extend at least 1/2-inch beyond the damaged area in all directions.

(5) Apply one even coat of No. 4 cement, provided in the repair kit, to the patch and the damaged
area. Allow the cement to dry until tacky.

(6) Apply the patch to the boot with an edge, or the center, adhering first. Work the patch down
carefully to avoid air pockets. Thoroughly roll the patch down with a stitcher roller.

NOTE: The patches are manufactured to stretch in one direction only. Be sure to cut and apply
the selected patch so that stretch is in the widthwise (chordwise) direction of the inflatable
tubes. The length of the patch shall run along the length of the tubes.
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using methyl propyl ketone on
the deicer boot. Should the boot be labeled ESTANE, toluol may be used on the boot.
DO NOT ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH
ESTANE BOOTS.

(7) Allow the patch to set for 10 to 15 minutes, then clean the patch and surrounding area with a clean
cloth dampened with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent
(18, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for Estane boots.

Page 209
30-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(8) Satisfactory adhesion of the patch will be reached in about four hours; however, the boot may be
inflated to check the repair after a minimum of 30 minutes.

(9) Apply a smooth light coat of sealer (19, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to seal and feather the edges
of the patch to the boot.

(10) After the cement and sealing compound has dried and cured, apply a thin coating of compound
(20, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the patch and surrounding area.

D. Tube Area Damage


Repair cuts, tears or ruptures to the tube area as follows:

(1) Clean the area around the damage with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with toluol or
unleaded gasoline.

(2) Buff the area around the damage with a buffing stick, provided in the repair kit.

(3) Wipe the buffed area with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with toluol to remove loose
particles.

(4) Select a patch of ample size from the repair kit to cover the damaged area and extend at least 5/
8-inch beyond the ends and edges of the cut or tear.

NOTE: If none of the patches are the size required, cut a patch of the desired size from one of the
larger patches. If this is done, bevel the edges by cutting with shears at an angle.

(5) Complete the installation of the patch (Ref. SCUFF DAMAGE, Steps (4) thru (10) in this section).

E. Loose Surface Ply In Non-Inflatable Area


Repair the damaged area as follows:

(1) Peel and trim the loose surface ply to a point where adhesion of the surface ply is good.

(2) Scrub (roughen) the area in which the surface ply is removed with steel wool. The scrubbing
motion must be parallel to the cut edge of the ply to prevent the ply from loosening.

(3) Scrub with steel wool and toluol directly over all edges, but parallel to the edges of the ply, to taper
edges of the ply.

(4) Cut a piece of surface ply material, provided in the repair kit, large enough to cover the damaged
area and extend at least one inch beyond the damaged area in all directions.

(5) Mask off an area 1 1/2-inches larger in length and width than the size of the damaged area.

(6) Apply one even coat of No. 4 cement, provided in the repair kit, to the damaged area and the
surface ply material. Allow the cement to dry until tacky.

(7) Roll the surface ply to the deicer boot with a two-inch rubber roller, applying enough tension to
prevent wrinkling. If air blisters appear, remove with a hypodermic needle and re-roll the area.

(8) Remove the masking tape and complete the installation (Ref. SCUFF DAMAGE, Steps (7) thru
(10) in this section).

Nov 1/09 30-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

F. Loose Surface Ply In Tube Area


Loose surface ply in the tube area is usually an indication of the boot starting to flex fail. This type of
failure is easily detected, as a blister under the surface ply when the boot is pressurized. If detected
while a small blister (1/4 to 3/8-inch in diameter) and immediately patched, service life of the boot will be
appreciably extended. Repair of this type damage is the same as SCUFF DAMAGE.

G. Fabric Back Ply Damage During Removal


If the adhesive from the leading edge skin has adhered to back surface of the boot, remove the
adhesive with steel wool and methyl propyl ketone (for neoprene boots) or toluol (for Estane boots). In
spots where the coating has pulled off the fabric, leaving bare fabric exposed, apply at least two
additional coats of adhesive (16, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.

5. SURFACE DEICER OPERATIONAL CHECKS

A. With Engines Operating


(1) With both engines operating at 70 to 80% N1 momentarily place the deicer switch in the SINGLE
position; the deicer boots should inflate for a period of 5 to 8 seconds, then deflate to the vacuum
hold-down condition. During inflation, the pneumatic pressure gage should register approximately
18 psi.

(2) Hold the deicer control switch in MANUAL position for a few seconds. The deicer boots should
inflate and remain inflated while the switch is retained in this position. Check for correct system
pressure (Ref. BLEED AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT in this
section).

(3) Release the deicer control switch, permitting it to return to the OFF position; the deicer boots
should deflate to the vacuum hold-down position.

(4) Repeat Steps (1) thru (3) with each engine operating individually at 70 to 80% N1.

B. Without Engines Operating


(1) Remove floor panels and carpeting forward of spar (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00).

(2) Connect shop air to the inlet side of the pneumatic pressure regulator (Ref. Chapter 36-00-00
PRESSURE REGULATOR AND PNUEMATIC SYSTEM DIAGRAM) illustrations in the
Maintenance Practices section.

(3) With external power applied to the airplane - turn battery switch ON.

(4) Momentarily place the deicer switch in the SINGLE position; the deicer boots should inflate for a
period of 5 to 8 seconds, then deflate to the vacuum hold-down condition. During inflation, the
pneumatic pressure gage should register approximately 18 psi.

(5) Hold the deicer control switch in MANUAL position for a few seconds. The deicer boots should
inflate and remain inflated while the switch is retained in this position. Check for correct system
pressure (Ref. PRESSURE REGULATOR RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT in this section).

(6) Release the deicer control switch, permitting it to return to the OFF position; the deicer boots
should deflate to the vacuum hold-down position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL

A. Engine Air Inlet Lip Anti-Ice


The lip around each engine air inlet is heated by hot exhaust gases to prevent the formation of ice
during inclement weather (Ref. Figure 201, Maintenance Practices section). A scoop in the engine LH
exhaust stack deflects the hot exhaust gases and is ducted into the hollow lip tube that encircles the
engine air inlet. The gases are exhausted out of the opposite exhaust stack. No shutoff or temperature
indicator is necessary for this system.

B. Inertial Separation System


An inertial separation system is built into each engine air inlet to prevent moisture particles from
entering the engine inlet plenum during freezing conditions (Ref. Figure 202, Maintenance Practices
section). When icing conditions are encountered, a moveable inertial vane and ice bypass door are
lowered into the inlet airstream to induce an abrupt turn in the airflow before entering the engine
plenum. The heavy, ice laden air is then discharged overboard through a bypass duct in the lower
cowling at the aft end of the air duct.
The inertial vane and bypass door are extended or retracted simultaneously through a linkage system
connected to an electric actuator. The electric actuator for each engine consists of a primary and
backup motor with a single actuator rod assembly. The system is normally driven by the primary motor.
In the event the primary motor malfunctions, the backup motor will provide the power necessary to
operate the system through the standby switch for the actuators.
CAUTION: Should the actuator primary motor malfunction, the cause of the malfunction must be
determined and corrected before the next flight.
The primary actuator motors are energized through switches placarded ICE VANE - LEFT - RIGHT -
EXT - RET. The actuator switches are located on the lower left subpanel, to the left of the pilot's control
column. The standby system may be activated through a second set of switches, located just below the
primary ICE VANE switches. The standby system switches are placarded ACTUATORS - STANDBY -
MAIN.
In normal operation, the ice vane is retracted out of the airstream and the bypass door is fully extended.
When the ice vane is fully extended, a sense switch on each internal vane linkage will cause the L ENG
ANTI-ICE and R ENG ANTI-ICE (green) lights to illuminate in the annunciator panel. When the control
switches on the subpanel are activated, a second sense switch, also located on each inertial vane
linkage, will energize a 30 to 40 second time-delay circuit. If full extension of the ice vanes is not
attained in this time, L ENG ICE FAIL and R ENG ICE FAIL (amber) lights will illuminate in the
annunciator signaling a fault in the prImary motor. These lights receive power through the annunciator
power pcb. Full extension must be accomplished with the backup actuator motor. The ice vanes and
bypass doors should be fully extended or fully retracted; there are no intermediate positions. When the
ice vane is retracted, the annunciator lights will be off.

1. AIR INTAKE ANTI-ICE LIP (UA-1 AND AFTER, UB-1 THRU UB-60 WITHOUT KIT NO.
114-9014-1 S INSTALLED)
Due to slight movement of the engine during operation, it is important that the bolts in the exhaust seal plate
be left slightly loose. Only about three threads should show below the nut after installation. The slight
movement allowed between the exhaust seal plate and the air intake anti-ice lip will alleviate stress on the
exhaust duct and the anti-ice assemblies (Ref. Chapter 78-00-00 ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM illustration in
the Maintenance Practices section).

2. AIR INTAKE ANTI-ICE LIP (UB-61 AND AFTER, UC-1 AND AFTER AND AIRPLANES
WITH KIT NO. 114-9014-1 S INSTALLED)
Flex pipes allow movement and alleviate stress on the exhaust duct and anti-ice assemblies caused by
engine movement (Ref. Figure 201).

3. ENGINE AIR INLET ANTI-ICE LIP

A. Removal
(1) Remove the upper forward, upper aft and upper mid engine cowlings in that order (Ref. COWLING
REMOVAL, Chapter 71-10-00).

(2) Remove the lower forward engine cowling and perform the necessary service or replacement on
the anti-ice lip.

B. Installation
(1) Install the forward lower engine cowling.

NOTE: For UA-1 and After, UB-1 thru UB-60 and Airplanes without Kit No. 114-9014-1 S. Due to
the slight movement of the engine during operation, it is important that the bolts in the
exhaust seal plate be left slightly loose. Only about three threads should show below the
nut after installation. The slight movement allowed between the exhaust seal plate and the
tube on the engine air inlet anti-ice lip will alleviate stress between the exhaust stack duct
and the anti-ice lip.

(2) Install the upper mid, upper aft and upper forward engine cowlings in that order (Ref. COWLING
INSTALLATION, Chapter 71-10-00).

C. Crack Limits
If the crack does not exceed the following criteria it may be disregarded and not repaired.

(1) No exhaust leaks through the crack.

(2) Crack length limit of 1.25-inch maximum.

Page 201
30-20-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Must be located on the outside of the anti-ice lip assembly between the lip assembly aft edge and
the lip assembly leading edge.

If any of the above criteria is exceeded, the anti-ice lip must be repaired (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner
Series Structural Repair Manual, ENGINE ANTI-ICE LIP CRACK REPAIR, Chapter 54-90-08.

4. INERTIAL ANTI-ICING SYSTEM


To help control wear and keep the inertial anti-icing system of the engine operating freely, the actuating
linkage should be periodically lubricated with grease (23, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
NOTE: Do not lubricate with oil.
Beyond lubrication, virtually no servicing of the inertial anti-icing system is required.
Adjustments may be made on the inertial anti-icing system. Refer to RIGGING THE ENGINE INERTIAL
ANTI-ICING SYSTEM, in this section.

A. Rigging the Engine Inertial Anti-Icing Systems


The following procedure provides for the initial rigging of the inertial anti-icing system to ensure the
proper adjustment of its various components with respect to one another throughout all phases of
operation. Rather than rerigging the system in its entirety when only a portion of the system has been
disassembled, or only a particular component is to be replaced, reference may be made to the
applicable Steps within the procedure for the adjustment required.

(1) Remove the cowling (Ref. COWLING REMOVAL, Chapter 71-10-00).

(2) The rigging points for the normal dry air operation mode are identified as A, B, C, D, and E. The
rigging points for the icing mode are identified as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Ref. Figure 203).

(3) With the actuator disconnected at A, the bolt at B removed and the link installed at D and E,
manually rotate the mechanism to the icing mode.

(4) Position the link so that it is on center with the arm (Ref. Figure 204).

(5) Energize the actuator to the full extend position and adjust the rod end, as necessary, to install the
bolt at rigging point 1 (Ref. Figure 203).

(6) Energize the actuator to the fully retracted position and inspect to assure free operation and
adequate clearance for the inertial vane in the normal dry air position.

(7) With the ice bypass door resting on the duct floor, adjust the clevis to install the bolt at B
(Ref. Figure 204).

(8) Energize the actuator to the fully extended position and inspect to assure free operation of the ice
bypass door.

(9) Reinstall the cowling (Ref. COWLING INSTALLATION, Chapter 71-10-00).

1. GENERAL

A. Windshield Anti-Ice
The pilot's and copilot's windshields are protected against icing by internal heating elements. Separate
switches for the PILOT and COPILOT are placarded WSHLD ANTI-ICE NORMAL - OFF - HI. The
windshield deice switches are located on the subpanel, just to the right of the pilot's control column.
Each windshield and its control switch are connected to the airplane electrical system through high heat
and low heat relays and temperature controllers. The relays and temperature controller for the pilot are
located on the aft side of the forward pressure bulkhead forward of the pilot's instruments. The relays
and temperature controller for the copilot are situated on the aft side of the forward pressure bulkhead
forward of the copilot's instruments. Each controller is protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker located
adjacent to the controller.
Each system is protected by a 50-ampere limiter. The limiter for the pilot's windshield is located in the
center of the LH nacelle on the electrical power distribution panel, in line with the wing leading edge,
between Fuselage Stations 280.50 and 302.00. The copilot's windshield limiter is located in the center
of the RH nacelle on the electrical power distribution panel, between Fuselage Stations 280.50 and
302.00.

4. WINDSHIELD WIPER

A. Adjustment
NOTE: Never operate the windshield wiper on a dry windshield.
Run the windshield wiper to the PARK position. If the wiper blades do not come to rest at approximately
2 inches from the center post of the windshield or if the tension of the wiper arm at the wiper attaching
point is not within 4.5 to 5.5 pounds, adjust the windshield wiper in the following manner:

(1) Lift the wiper arm away from the glass. Insert a 1/8 inch diameter pin through the hole on each side
of the wiper arm. This will relieve blade tension against the glass.

(2) Loosen the allen screw on the hub end of the wiper arm until the hub can be spread enough for
removal (Ref. Figure 202).

(3) Lift the wiper arm hub and reposition it two inches from the center of the windshield. An adjustment
sleeve located on the converter shaft has both fine (inner teeth) and course (outer teeth)
adjustments.

(4) Install the arm assembly on the drive shaft, making sure that the arm is pulled up until the washer
is in the counterbore of the hub.

(5) Tighten the allen head screw until the wiper is anchored securely to the drive shaft. Safety wire the
allen head screw with 0.032 inch safety wire.

(6) Remove the pin from the holes in the wiper arm.

(7) Set the wiper arm to a tension load of 4.5 to 5.5 pounds at the wiper attaching point. Rotate the
spring adjusting screw on top of the wiper arm with the wrench (17, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00).
Turn the screw clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the adjusting spring
tension.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Propeller Electric Deicer System


The propeller electric deicer system includes: an electrically heated boot for each propeller blade, slip
rings, brush assemblies, timer, on-off switch, and an ammeter (Ref. Figure 1). When the switch is turned
on, the ammeter registers the amount of current (26 to 32 amperes) passing through the system. If the
current rises beyond the switch limitation an integral circuit breaker will shut off power to the deicer
timer. The current flows from the timer through the brush assemblies to the slip rings, where it is
distributed to the individual propeller deicer boots. Heat from the boots reduces the grip of the ice, which
is then removed by the centrifugal effect of the propeller rotation and the blast of the air stream.
Two control switches are located on the LH subpanel, just to the right of the pilots control column and
are placarded PROP-AUTO-MANUAL. When the AUTO switch is activated, power to the deice boots is
cycled in 90-second phases. The first 90-second phase heats all the deicer boots on the RH propeller.
The second phase heats all the deicer boots on the LH propeller. The deicer timer completes one full
cycle every three minutes.
A manual propeller deicer system is provided as a backup to the automatic system. When the MANUAL
switch is activated power is supplied to the entire deice surface of both propellers. The manual override
switch is of the momentary type, and must be held in place until the ice has been dislodged from the
propeller surface. The load meters will indicate approximately a 0.05 increase of load when the manual
propeller deicer system is in operation.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. PROPELLER DEICE AMMETER

A. Calibration
Should the ammeter be equipped with an adjusting screw on the back of the ammeter, the ammeter
may be calibrated according to the following procedure:

(1) Connect a voltmeter (accurate to 0.1-mv) to the positive and negative terminals on the back of the
ammeter.

(2) Turn the deice system on and measure the voltage to the ammeter.

(3) Multiply the millivolt reading by 0.8; this product is what the ammeter should be indicating.

(4) While lightly tapping the face of the ammeter, adjust the calibrating screw until the ammeter is
indicating the correct value.

2. PROPELLER DEICER BOOT

LANDING GEAR
GENERAL INFORMATION
32-00-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The 1900 Airliner Series airplanes are equipped with a retractable hydraulic landing gear system. The nose
gear and main gear assemblies incorporate air-oil type shock struts that are filled with both compressed air
and hydraulic fluid. The nose gear strut is equipped with a single, wheel and tire, while each main gear strut is
equipped with two wheels and tires. The landing gear is retracted and extended by the action of the individual
actuators and drag brace assemblies connected to each landing gear. The nose gear is attached to two
longitudinal fuselage members in the fuselage nose and pivots aft into the wheel well when retracted. The
main landing gear are attached to the two main structural ribs of the nacelles and pivot forward into the wheel
wells when retracted. The landing gear doors consist of one nose gear door and two sets of main gear doors.
The nose gear door is hinged at the front and is connected to the nose gear brace with two push-pull links;
when the landing gear is retracted, the door is pulled closed and when extended, the door is pushed open.
The main gear doors are hinged at the sides and are spring-loaded to the open position. As the landing gear
is retracted, two rollers on each main gear engage the door actuating cams and pull the doors closed. When
the landing gear doors are closed, they cover the top braces of each landing gear.
The nose and main landing gear assemblies are extended and retracted by a hydraulic system consisting of
an actuator located in each wheel well, a hydraulic power pack located in the LH wing, and hydraulic
plumbing. The hydraulic plumbing provides for normal extend, normal retract and emergency extend modes
of operation. A landing gear control switch, placarded UP and DN, is located on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
When the control handle is moved to the UP position, power is supplied to the pump motor and to the gear-up
solenoid to allow system fluid under pressure to flow to the retract side of the system. The landing gear is held
in the retracted position by positive hydraulic pressure from the pump. When the control handle is placed in
the DN position, power is supplied to the pump motor and to the gear-down solenoid to allow system fluid
under pressure to flow to the extend side of the system. When the actuator pistons are positioned to fully
extend the landing gear, an internal mechanical lock in each actuator will lock the actuator pistons to hold the
landing gear in the down position. Manual landing gear extension is provided through a manually powered
hydraulic system. A hand pump, located on the floor between the pilot's seat and the pedestal, is used when
emergency extension of the gear is required. To extend the landing gear with this system, the pump handle is
removed from its securing clip and pumped up and down. As the handle is pumped, hydraulic fluid is drawn
from the power pack into the pump and exited under pressure. Fluid under pressure from the pump is routed
to each landing gear actuator. A service valve plumbed in the hydraulic system may be used in conjunction
with the hand pump to raise the landing gear for maintenance purposes.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Visual indication of the landing gear position is provided by two red in-transit lights located in the landing gear
control switch handle and a green gear-down indicator light assembly on the subpanel. The in-transit lights
are wired through the automatic light dimming circuit. Illumination of the in-transit lights indicates when the
landing gear is in transit; gear up is indicated when they go out. Illumination of the gear-down lights indicates
when each landing gear is down and locked. Up-and-down position switches and actuator downlock switches
are located in each wheel well to complete the electrical circuits necessary to illuminate the gear down and
in-transit lights.
Nose gear steering is accomplished by a mechanical linkage system extending from the rudder pedals to a
bell crank mounted in the nose gear wheel well above the nose gear assembly. A spring mechanism in the
steering linkage permits tow bar or braked steering angles greater than that provided by the rudder pedal
system. An electrical actuator and a cam are incorporated in the steering linkage to remove the steering
action from the rudder pedals while the airplane is in flight. An optional power steering system incorporates a
hydraulically powered rotary actuator mounted on top of the nose gear assembly. Hydraulic power for the
actuator is provided by a pump located in the LH wheel well. The power steering system uses the landing
gear power pack as its fluid supply. Command potentiometers controlled by the pilot's rudder pedals provide
the steering input signals for the electrical portion of the steering system. A servo valve in the actuator
receives signals from the potentiometers to adjust the pressure inside the actuators to move the nose wheel
left or right.
The airplane is equipped with four hydraulically operated brake assemblies. Each main landing gear
incorporates two multidisc, metallic-lined brake assemblies bolted together, one on each side of the strut.
Each brake assembly contains two rotating discs, which are keyed to rotate with the wheel, a stationary disc,
and a pressure plate and backplate which are attached to the brake housing. Braking action occurs when
hydraulic pressure is applied to the pistons in the brake housing, forcing the disc stack together and creating
friction between the rotating discs and the stationary components of the brake assembly. The hydraulic
pressure to the brake assemblies is generated by the pilot's or copilot's master cylinders. An optional antiskid
brake system incorporates a power brake valve, a pump and motor, a skid control unit, and a wheel speed
transducer in each main gear axle. The electric motor-driven pump provides the hydraulic power for the
system. When the antiskid system is off, the pressure at the brake assemblies is the same as the master
cylinder pressure. When the system is in the antiskid mode, the master cylinder pressure is isolated from the
brake assemblies and a braking pressure balanced to the master cylinder pressure is generated by the power
brake valve. The objective of the antiskid function is to give optimum braking effectiveness. This is
accomplished as the wheel transducers monitor the wheel RPM and relay the information to the skid control
unit. When a skid condition is imminent, the appropriate signal is sent to the power brake valve to reduce the
pressure to all four brake assemblies. As the wheel RPM begins to increase, the power brake valve increases
the braking pressure; if the wheel transducers indicate that the wheels are still in a skid condition, the brake
pressure will be decreased again. This cycle will continue until the tendency to skid has ended.
Brake deicing is provided by an optional brake deice system which utilizes engine bleed air as the deicing
agent. The brake deice system is composed of a combination of tubes and hoses plumbed from the engine
bleed air duct forward of each firewall to a distributor manifold installed on each main gear shock strut. A
shutoff valve in each main gear wheel well controls the flow of heated air to each distributor manifold. An
overtemp warning line is routed in close proximity to the bleed air lines in each wheel well to notify the
operator in the event of overheating of the deice system.

WARNING: Any time maintenance is performed on the landing gear system, always place the
airplane on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts may be
encountered, never jack more than one gear clear of the ground at a time.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
As an added security measure, manual landing gear downlocks shown under Special
Tools in Chapter 91-00-00 may be purchased or may be fabricated from Kit instructions
no. 114-5015 S. The downlocks or the kit may be ordered through any Hawker Beechcraft
outlet.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the aircraft from jacks.

2. MAIN LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER

A. Servicing
(1) To check the fluid level and fill the landing gear shock absorber, remove the valve cap and press
the valve core to release the air. Allow the strut to fully compress.

WARNING: Release the air pressure entirely before removing the valve core.

(2) Remove the valve core and connect one end of a 1/4 inch I.D. hose to the valve stem. Submerge
the other end of the hose in a container of clean hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(3) Slowly extend the strut to draw hydraulic fluid into the strut.

(4) When the strut is fully extended, slowly compress the strut to expel any excess hydraulic fluid and
trapped air.

(5) Cycle the strut as many times as necessary to expel all of the air. With the strut compressed,
remove the hose and install the valve core.

CAUTION: Never tow or taxi with a flat strut. Even brief towing or taxiing with a deflated strut can
cause damage.

B. Servicing - Inflation
WARNING: Anytime maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, always place
the airplane on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in an excess of 35 kts
may be encountered, never jack more than one gear clear of the ground at a time.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always
cycle the gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before
removing the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Loss of oil will result in struts appearing to need inflation. Low oil levels will damage the strut
and could result in hard landing damage to the aircraft. If loss of oil is detected or
suspected, check oil level using the MAIN LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER
SERVICING procedure.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.

2. NOSE LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER

A. Servicing
(1) To check the fluid level and fill the nose landing gear shock absorber, remove the valve cap and
depress the valve core to release the air. Allow the strut to fully compress.

WARNING: Release the air pressure entirely before removing the valve core.

(2) Remove the valve core and connect one end of a 1/4 inch I.D. hose to the valve stem. Submerge
the other end of the hose in a container of clean hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(3) Slowly extend the strut to draw hydraulic fluid into the strut.

(4) When the strut is fully extended, slowly compress the strut to expel any excess hydraulic fluid and
trapped air.

(5) Cycle the strut as many times necessary to expel all of the air. With the strut compressed, remove
the hose and install the valve core.

CAUTION: Damage to the torque knees may result if the struts are inflated while the airplane is
on jacks.
Never tow or taxi with a flat strut. Even brief towing or taxiing with a deflated strut can
cause severe damage.

B. Servicing - Inflation
WARNING: Anytime maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, always place
the airplane on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in an excess of 35 kts
may be encountered, never jack more than one gear clear of the ground at a time.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always
cycle the gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before
removing the airplane from the jacks.

Page 201
32-20-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Loss of oil will result in struts appearing to need inflation. Low oil levels will damage the strut
and could result in hard landing damage to the aircraft. If loss of oil is detected or
suspected, check oil level using the NOSE LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER
SERVICING procedure.

C. Method 1
(1) With the airplane on the ground and empty, except for full fuel and oil, inflate the nose strut with
nitrogen or dry filtered air until the piston is extended 5.25 to 5.75 inches.

D. Method 2
(1) With the airplane on jacks, inflate the nose landing gear with nitrogen or dry filtered air to 95 psig.

3. NOSE LANDING GEAR SHIMMY DAMPER

A. Fluid Check (Manual Steering Only)


NOTE: The shimmy damper fluid level can be checked without removing the damper from the airplane
by inserting a thin wire through the aft end of the piston rod assembly and into the hole of the
aft floating piston.
To determine if the wire is inserted in the hole of the floating piston, insert the wire several
times noting each insertion depth. When the wire is in the floating piston hole, the depth will be
approximately 0.44 inch greater than when against the face of the floating piston.

(1) Check the shimmy damper hydraulic fluid level as follows (Ref. Figure 201):

(a) Insert a 1/16 inch diameter wire into the hole of the aft floating piston (2), mark the wire at the
piston rod assembly - aft end (3), remove and measure the distance from inserted end of the
wire (Dimension A).

(2) If dimension A is greater than six inches, service the shimmy damper. Refer to Chapter 32 of the
Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual for servicing instructions.

B. Removal (Manual Steering Only)


(1) Remove nut (1), washer (2) and bolt (3) attaching the shimmy damper (4) to steering bell crank (5)
(Ref. Figure 202).

(2) Remove nut (6) washer (7), bolt (9) and bushing (8) connecting the shimmy damper (4) to the
airplane structure.

(3) Remove the shimmy damper (4) from the airplane.

aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The nose and main landing gear assemblies are extended and retracted by a hydraulic power pack, located
inboard of the LH nacelle and forward of the main spar. The hydraulic power pack consists primarily of a 28
vdc motor, pump, two-section reservoir, filter, four-way selector valve, up-and-down selector solenoids,
gear-up pressure switch and low fluid level sensor (Ref. Figure 1). To prevent cavitation of the pump, engine
bleed air, regulated to 18 to 20 psi, is plumbed into the power pack reservoir and the system fill can. A capped
tee, adjacent to the manual bleed valve, is plumbed into the bleed air line as a connection point from a source
of pressurized air when the engines are not operating. Associated plumbing for a normal extend mode,
normal retract mode, and emergency extend mode is routed from the power pack to each main landing gear
actuator and the nose landing gear actuator (Ref. Figures 2, 3 and 4). The plumbing for the normal extend
mode and the emergency extend mode is fitted as separate plumbing to the shuttle valve in each actuator.
The shuttle valves are spring-loaded to a position which allows hydraulic fluid from the normal extend
plumbing to flow into and out of the actuator cylinder. The retract mode plumbing is fitted to the opposite end
of each actuator.
A landing gear control switch handle, placarded UP DN is located on the pilot's inboard subpanel
(Ref. Figure 5). A solenoid operated downlock latch prevents the landing gear control handle from being
raised while the airplane is on the ground. The landing gear safety switch releases the latch when the plane
leaves the ground. If necessary, the latch can be manually overridden by pressing down on the red button
placarded DN LOCK REL. To prevent accidental gear retraction on the ground, a safety switch on the right
main strut breaks the control circuit whenever the strut is compressed.
CAUTION: Never rely on the safety switch to keep the gear down while taxiing or on landing or take-off roll.
Always check the position of the landing gear switch.
The landing gear control circuit is protected by a two ampere circuit breaker located on the pilot's inboard
subpanel. Power for the pump motor is supplied through the landing gear motor relay and the 200 ampere
relay limiter, both of which are located in the LH nacelle power distribution panel. The motor relay is
energized by current from the time delay relay Printed Circuit Board (PCB) located under the center aisle
floorboard, just aft of the main spar. The time delay relay will interrupt current to the motor and trip the landing
gear control circuit breaker if continuous motor operation exceeds the maximum time limit. A circuit to the
time delay relay from the landing gear control switch is completed through the RH safety switch and the
gear-up pressure switch when the control handle is placed in the UP position and through the actuator
downlock switches when the control handle is placed in the DN position.
When the landing gear control handle is moved to the UP position, the gear-up solenoid, mounted on the
valve body end of the power pack, is energized to actuate the gear selector valve to allow system fluid under
pressure from the pump to flow to the retract side of the system. On airplanes equipped with power steering,
the nose landing gear position switch, mounted on the nose landing gear straightener link, will prevent
retraction of the landing gear until the nose wheel is centered. The landing gear will begin to retract when 200
to 400 psi of hydraulic pressure at the retract port of the actuator unlocks the internal mechanical locking
mechanism. As the actuator pistons move to retract the landing gear, the fluid in the actuator exits through
the normal extend port of the actuators and is carried back to the power pack through the normal extend
plumbing. When the hydraulic fluid enters the power pack, the gear selector valve directs the return fluid to
the primary reservoir.
The landing gear is held in the retracted position by positive hydraulic pressure. When the system pressure
reaches the high pressure limit, the gear-up pressure switch, mounted on the power pack assembly, will
interrupt current to the pump motor. This same pressure switch will activate the pump motor should the
system pressure drop to the low pressure limit. An accumulator, precharged to 800 ± 50 psi, is located in the
LH wheel well and is designed to aid in maintaining the system pressure in the gear-up mode.
When the landing gear control handle is moved to the DN position, the gear-down solenoid is energized to
actuate the selector valve to allow the system fluid under pressure from the pump to flow to the extend side of
the system. As the actuator pistons move to extend the landing gear, the fluid in the actuators exits through

Page 2
May 1/12 32-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

the normal retract port of the actuators and is carried back to the power pack through the normal retract
plumbing. Fluid from the pump opens a pressure check valve in the power pack to allow the return fluid to
flow into the primary reservoir. When the actuator pistons are positioned to fully extend the landing gear, an
internal mechanical lock in each actuator will lock the actuator pistons to hold the gear in the down position. In
this position, the internal locking mechanism in each actuator will actuate the actuator downlock switch to
interrupt current to the pump motor. The motor will continue to run until all three landing gears are down and
locked.
A yellow HYD FLUID LOW annunciator located in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel will illuminate in the event
the hydraulic fluid level in the landing gear power pack becomes critically low. When low fluid level is
indicated, the landing gear should not be extended or retracted using the hydraulic power pack; however, the
landing gear can be extended using the emergency extension hand pump. A sensing unit mounted on the
motor end of the power pack provides the necessary switching circuitry to illuminate the low fluid light. The
optically operated sensing unit has an integrated self-test circuit. The integral self-test circuit is energized by
a switch on the instrument panel and functionally tests the sensing unit's internal circuitry.
Manual landing gear extension is provided through a manually powered hydraulic system. A hand pump,
placarded LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION, is located on the floor between the pilot's seat and
the pedestal. The pump is used when emergency extension of the gear is required. To extend the gear with
this system, pull the landing gear control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard subpanel and place the landing
gear control handle in the DN position. Remove the pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle
up and down to extend the gear. As the handle is pumped, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the hand pump
suction port of the power pack into the pump and exited under pressure. Fluid under pressure from the pump
is routed to the power pack hand pump pressure port and to the shuttle valve in each actuator. Fluid pressure
at the shuttle valves will position the valves to allow fluid to flow into the actuator cylinders. As the actuator
pistons move to extend the landing gear, the fluid in the actuators exits through the normal retract port of the
actuators and is carried back to the power pack through the normal retract plumbing. The fluid routed to the
power pack hand pump pressure port from the hand pump unseats the internal hand pump dump valve to
allow the return fluid to flow into the primary reservoir. Continue to pump the handle up and down until the
green GEAR DOWN indicator lights on the pilot's inboard subpanel illuminate. Ensure that the pump handle
is in the full down position prior to placing the pump handle in the securing clip. When the pump handle is
stowed, an internal relief valve is actuated to relieve the hydraulic pressure in the pump.
WARNING: After an EMERGENCY landing gear extension has been made, do not move any landing
gear controls or reset any switches or circuit breakers until the cause of the malfunction
has been determined and corrected.
A service valve located inboard of the pump and motor assembly may be used, in conjunction with the hand
pump, to raise and lower the gear for maintenance purposes. The service valve is accessible through a door
in the wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. With the airplane on jacks and an external power source
attached, unlatch the hinged retainer and pull up on the red knob located on top of the service valve. The
hand pump can then be pumped to raise the gear to the desired position. After the required maintenance has
been performed, push the red knob down and use the hand pump to lower the gear.
CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing gear is retracted and the
electrical power is on and the landing gear control handle is in the down position, the landing gear
will extend immediately.
A fill can, located just inboard of the LH nacelle and forward of the main spar, contains a cap and dipstick
assembly, marked FILL WARM - COLD, for convenience of maintaining system fluid level. Prior to removing
the fill can lid, the knob on the manual bleed valve must be depressed to relieve the air pressure in the
system.

WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
Refer to Charts in Figures 102, 103 and 104 for data on troubleshooting the landing gear system.

1. TIME DELAY RELAY PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)

A. Functional Check
In the normally operating landing gear control circuit, the time delay assembly will apply ground, through
a current limiting resistor, to the landing gear control power circuit in 16 ± 0.5 seconds, causing the two
ampere gear control circuit breaker to open, preventing further damage to the system. Should the time
delay circuit for the landing gear malfunction for any reason and should the uplock pressure switch fail
to interrupt power to the landing gear power pack motor, the motor would continue to run and serious
damage to the power pack assembly could result.
A test unit has been designed for use in functionally checking the time delay assembly for proper
operation. The following procedure outlines the method of checking the operation of the time delay
assembly.

(1) Assemble the test unit (Ref. Figure 101).

(2) Remove the time delay PCB from the airplane.

(3) Connect the test unit to the time delay assembly.

(4) Apply power to the time delay assembly. Lamps L1 and L3 will illuminate.

(5) After a time delay of 16 ± 0.5 seconds, lamps L1 and L3 should extinguish and lamps L2 and L4
will illuminate. If not, the time delay assembly must be replaced.

(6) Remove the test unit and install the time delay PCB in the airplane.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Figure 101
Time Delay Relay Functional Check

2. HYDRAULIC POWER PACK ASSEMBLY


The following test equipment will permit troubleshooting the hydraulic power pack assembly:

A. Test
(1) Hand pump capable of delivering 3,600 psig.

(2) Pressure gage with a range of 4,000 psig.

(3) Continuity checker.

The hand pump should have a reservoir, or be equipped with fittings which will permit connection
to a reservoir. The test equipment needs valves capable of controlling the application and release
of hydraulic fluid to the unit under test. The test equipment should be capable of holding a
pressure of at least 3,600 psig without leaks.

3. UP-PRESSURE SWITCH

A. Test
(1) Connect the hand pump and gage to the gear-up port of the power pack.

NOTE: Connect the hand pump and gage to the gear-up port of the power pack only. Do not
connect the hand pump at any other location in the hydraulic system.

(2) Connect the continuity checker to the pins B and C of the electrical connector of the pressure
switch. The continuity checker should indicate that there is continuity between the pins.

Page 102
May 1/12 32-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Slowly apply pressure with the hand pump while monitoring the continuity checker and the
pressure gage. The pressure switch should open, as indicated by a loss of continuity, at a
pressure of 2,720 to 2,830 psig.

(4) Decrease the pressure slowly while monitoring the continuity checker and the pressure gage. The
pressure switch should close, as indicated by regaining continuity, at a pressure of 2,320 to 2,530
psig.

(5) Disconnect the test equipment.

4. UPLOCK CHECK VALVE AND THERMAL RELIEF VALVE

A. Test
(1) Connect the hand pump and the pressure gage to the gear-up port of the power pack.

NOTE: Connect the hand pump and the pressure gage to the gear-up port of the power pack only,
do not connect the hand pump at any other location in the hydraulic system.

(2) Apply a pressure of 2,800 psig. Allow the pressure gage to stabilize. The gage should not indicate
a loss of pressure due to an internal leakage.

(3) Slowly increase the pressure while monitoring the pressure gage. The thermal relief valve should
relieve at a pressure of 3,500 ± 50 psig. Stop pumping after the thermal relief valve has cracked,
and monitor the pressure gage as the pressure decreases. The pressure indication should
stabilize at a minimum of 3,150 psig, indicating the pressure at which the thermal relief valve has
closed.

(4) Release the pressure and disconnect the equipment.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).
NOTE: This hydraulic system is self bleeding. Always cycle the landing gear a minimum of five times after
maintenance is performed to move fluid through the system and work out trapped air that may have
been introduced.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

A. Landing Gear Component Access


A hinged door for the hydraulic fill can and an access panel for the service valve are provided in the
upper wing panel (Ref. Figure 201). Any maintenance on the components other than changing the
position of the service valve or filling the system will require removing the upper and lower wing panel
assemblies.
Remove the upper and lower wing panel assemblies to gain access to the landing gear power pack and
related components as follows:

(1) Remove the screws securing the forward wing fillet to the fuselage and remove the fillet from the
airplane.

(2) Remove the leading edge.

(3) Remove the remaining screws from the perimeter of the upper or lower panel.

NOTE: Install the panels in the following sequence: upper and lower panel, leading edge.
The upper panel has a guard attached to the bottom side of the service valve access
panel to prevent installation of the panel if the red knob on the service valve is not pushed
down. If any difficulty is experienced installing the upper panel, check to ensure that the
knob on the service valve is pushed down and that the hinged retainer is in place.

B. Hydraulic System Servicing


Servicing the hydraulic landing gear system consists of maintaining the correct fluid level and correct
accumulator precharge. A fill can, located just inboard of the left nacelle and forward of the main spar,
contains a cup and dipstick assembly marked FILL WARM - COLD.

C. Hydraulic System Filling and Bleeding


WARNING: Always place the airplane on jacks before performing any maintenance on the
landing gear hydraulic system.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump to extend and
retract the landing gear for maintenance and rigging.
Any time the fill can is opened, make sure to shut off the air pressure supply and
depressurize the system by depressing the button on the manual bleed valve.

(1) If less than eight ounces of fluid is being added to the hydraulic system, perform the following
Steps. Otherwise, proceed Step (2).

(a) Perform Steps (2) thru (7).

(b) Perform the LANDING GEAR HAND PUMP CYCLING procedure twice.

(c) Perform Steps (16) thru (22).

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 32-30-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Remove the forward wing fillet, wing leading edge, and upper wing panel (Ref. Figure 201).

(5) Perform the ACCUMULATOR SERVICING procedure (Ref. 32-30-01).

(6) Press the button on the manual bleed valve to release any air pressure in the power pack
reservoir.

(7) Fill the power pack by adding hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the fill can up to the
mark on the dipstick.

NOTE: When filling the hydraulic system, the air being displaced by the hydraulic fluid will need to
be relieved through the manual bleed valve. Occasionally Press the button on the manual
bleed valve to relieve this air pressure and to allow the system to fill faster.

(8) Connect a regulated supply of 18 psi dry air to a pressure pot filled with hydraulic fluid and connect
the pressure pot to the capped tee that is located adjacent to the manual bleed valve.

NOTE: The hand pump handle must be in the stowed position while bleeding air out of the
system.

(9) With the system pressurized by the pressure pot, crack the B nuts at the following locations to
bleed air from the system:

(a) All three lines at the LH main landing gear actuator.

(b) All three lines at the RH main landing gear actuator.

(c) All three lines at the nose landing gear actuator.

(d) The line at the accumulator.

(e) The gear-up line at the service valve.

(10) Shut off the air pressure supply and relieve the air pressure through the manual bleed valve in the
power pack reservoir. Check the fluid level and refill the reservoir as required.

(11) Pressurize the system with air, unlatch the hinged retainer and pull up on the red knob on the
service valve to place the valve in the gear-up position. Using the hand pump, raise the landing
gear to the retracted position.

NOTE: Since the normal extend ports of the main landing gear actuators will be inaccessible
when the landing gear is in the retracted position, crack the extend line at the bulkhead
fitting on the forward side of the main spar.

(12) Bleed the normal extend lines at each landing gear actuator. The normal extend ports of the
actuators can be identified by a letter “P” stamped on the actuator adjacent to the port.

(13) Push down the red knob on the service valve and use the hand pump to extend the landing gear.
Holding maximum pressure with the hand pump handle, check the system for leaks.

(14) Perform the LANDING GEAR HAND PUMP CYCLING procedure contained in this section to
complete a full cycle of the landing gear.

(15) Shut off the air supply and relieve the air pressure in the power pack reservoir through the manual
bleed valve. Check the fluid level and refill the reservoir as required.

CAUTION: To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack when the
engines are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to the power
pack reservoir.

(16) With the red knob on the service valve pushed down, the hand pump handle in the stowed position
and the system pressurized with air, operate the landing gear a minimum of ten complete cycles
using the hydraulic power pack. While cycling the landing gear, check for any signs of hydraulic
fluid leakage. Every third or fourth cycle of the landing gear, check the fluid level and refill as
required until the fluid level stabilizes and the retraction time of the landing gear stabilizes at
approximately five seconds.

CAUTION: Do not operate the power steering pump when the engines are not operating without
supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to the power pack reservoir.

(17) On airplanes equipped with power steering, operate the power steering system electrically for
short periods of time and check for leaks. Shut off the air supply and relieve the air pressure in the
reservoir through the manual bleed valve. Check the fluid level and refill the reservoir as required.
Since the power steering system is a continuous flow system using the power pack reservoir for
the fluid source, the system is self-bleeding.

(18) Shut off the air supply and relieve the air pressure in the reservoir through the manual bleed valve.
Disconnect the air supply line from the tee and replace the cap on the tee.

(19) Install the upper wing panel, wing leading edge and forward wing fillet (Ref. Figure 201).

(20) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(21) Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the hand pump handle is in the
stowed position, that the red knob on the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in
place, and that the landing gear is in the down and locked position.

(22) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

WARNING: Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the
airplane on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts
will be encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always
cycle the gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before
removing the airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2 ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROGRESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the
landing gear.
A service valve in the left hand wing, adjacent to the power pack is provided for use with the emergency
extension hand pump to raise and lower the landing gear. The service valve is normally in a mode to
extend the landing gear (red knob pushed down). The service valve is accessible through a door in the
wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. The red knob cannot be pulled up until the hinged retainer
covering it is unlatched and moved out of the way.

(1) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(2) Perform BATTERY DISCONNECTION procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-31-00).

(3) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.

(4) Unlatch the service valve knob hinged retainer.

(5) Pull up on the red knob on the service valve. This places the knob in the gear-up position.

(6) Pump the emergency extension hand pump until the landing gear is fully retracted.

(7) Push the red knob on the service valve down.

(8) Pump the emergency extension hand pump until the landing gear is fully extended.

NOTE: If no other maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, proceed with Step

(11) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

E. Hydraulic System Leakage


During all landing gear tests, monitor the hydraulic system components for external leakage. Any
external leakage other than a slight wetting insufficient to form a drop through any seal except in those
areas where leakage is specified shall be cause for rejection. Perform the HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
FILLING AND BLEEDING procedure in this section to verify system leakage following any component
changes or replacement of hydraulic lines.

F. Hydraulic Fittings Installation


To reduce the likelihood of leaks in the hydraulic system, care should be taken when installing the
hydraulic fittings. Anytime a fitting is loosened or removed, discard the packing and install the fitting with
a new packing. To prevent damage to the packing, coat the packing and the threads of the fitting with
hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) before installing the packing on the fitting. Some fittings
in the landing gear hydraulic system employ both a packing and an aluminum ring. When this type of
fitting is loosened or removed, both the packing and the aluminum ring must be replaced when the fitting
is installed (Ref. Figure 202).

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

A. Rigging
A service valve in the left hand wing, adjacent to the power pack, is provided for use with the emergency
extension hand pump to raise and lower the landing gear while the landing gear is being rigged. The
service valve is normally in a mode to extend the landing gear (red knob pushed down). The service
valve is accessible through a door in the wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. The red knob cannot
be pulled up until the hinged retainer covering it is unlatched and moved out of the way. The landing
gear must not be cycled electrically until the landing gear is properly rigged. With the airplane on jacks
and an external power supply connected and adjusted to 28 ± 0.25 volts, the landing gear is retracted
by pulling the red knob on the service valve up and then operating the emergency extension hand
pump. When the red knob is pulled up, the two switches mounted on the service valve are actuated to
open the circuit to the power pack motor and to complete a circuit from the 2-ampere control circuit
breaker to the retract solenoid on the gear selector valve. The same action positions the service valve to
route the hand pump pressure fluid to the normal retract mode plumbing to the actuators. Remove the
pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle up and down to retract the landing gear. After
the landing gear is retracted, position the emergency extend hand handle in the stowed position and
turn off the electrical power. To extend the landing gear push the red knob on the service valve down
and extend the landing gear using the emergency extension hand pump; the electrical power does not
have to be on to extend the landing gear. For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker
on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing gear is retracted, the
electrical power is on and the landing gear control handle is in the down position, the
landing gear will extend immediately.
To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack when the engines
are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to pressurize the power pack
reservoir in place of the engine bleed air.
When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the first
six minutes of operation with approximately a two-minute cooling period between cycles,
then with a five-minute cooling interval between each cycle.
Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the emergency extension hand pump
handle is in the stowed position and that the red knob on the service valve is pushed down with the
hinged retainer in place. Retract and extend the landing gear, using the hydraulic power pack to ensure
the landing gear is in the down-and-locked position before removing the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Do not fully cycle the landing gear electrically until the gear is properly rigged. Use of the
emergency hand pump is recommended for initial rigging.

(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor. Strut limiters will reduce strut
extension (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Disconnect the door actuation cams from the doors by removing the cotter pins, nuts, washers,
and bolts from the lower attaching links. Secure the doors out of the way with safety wire.

NOTE: Use the emergency extension hand pump to retract or extend the actuator during this
rigging procedure.

(4) Retract the gear slightly to take the load off the drag brace and to unlock the actuator.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(5) Remove the nut, bolt, and washers attaching the actuator rod end to the upper drag leg arm.
Remove the cotter pin, nut, washers, bushings, and bolt attaching the lower drag leg to the strut
(Ref. Figure 201).

(6) Check the alignment of the lower drag leg with the attachment lug on the landing gear strut; there
shall be no side loads on the drag leg when the landing gear is in the extended or retracted
position. Correct misalignment by shifting AN960-1016L washers from side to side of the wheel
well attach fitting and upper drag legs. A minimum of one washer must be maintained between the
upper drag legs and the wheel well attach fitting. After the proper alignment is obtained, connect
the lower drag leg to the landing gear strut.

NOTE: Verify continuity of the left main actuator switch by checking continuity between pins A and
E then H and K, of connector P197.
Verify continuity of the right main actuator switch by checking continuity between pins A
and E then H and K, of connector P198.

(7) With the actuator fully retracted and locked, and the landing gear fully extended, check the
alignment of the actuator rod end with the upper drag leg arm. The actuator rod end must slip into
the upper drag leg arm without causing any side loads on the actuator piston rod. With the actuator
fully extended, manually push the landing gear to the retracted position and again check for any
side loads on the actuator piston rod. If any misalignment is found in either position, shift the
AN960-716L washers as required to correct the misalignment. A minimum of one AN960-716L
washer is required between the actuator and the support structure.

(8) Cut the safety wire and loosen the jam nut on the actuator rod end. With the actuator fully retracted
and the landing gear fully extended, adjust the actuator rod end to align with nut attaching hole in
the upper drag leg arm. Tighten the jam nut.

(9) Lubricate the actuator rod end bolt with grease (80, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) at time of
installation. Attach the actuator rod end to the upper drag leg arm with the nut, bolt, and washers.

(10) With the landing gear fully extended, apply moderate pressure to the drag brace assembly to
bottom out any end play in the actuator. Measure the amount of clearance between the upper drag
leg and the rig plate. If a clearance of 0.005 +0.005/- 0.004 inch at the closest point does not exist,
loosen the jam nut and lengthen the actuator rod end to the next keying position by rotating the
actuator piston rod. Tighten the jam nut and safety wire to the key washer.

(11) Retract the landing gear fully and measure the clearance between the landing gear piston and the
main spar. If the clearance is not 2.28 +0.25/-0.09 inches, remove the actuator from the airplane
and adjust the actuator stroke as outlined in Step (12).

(12) The stroke length of the actuator (6.23 ± 0.12 inches) is preset by the supplier and should not
require adjustment. If the clearance measured in Step (9) is not within tolerance, remove the
actuator from the airplane and adjust the actuator stroke length as follows:

(a) Remove the safety wire and loosen the end cap jam nut. Rotate the end cap one full turn at a
time until the proper adjustment is obtained. When the end cap is rotated out, the stroke
length is increased and when rotated in, the stroke length is decreased. Each full turn of the
end cap will change the stroke length by 0.06 inch.

32-30-09 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: To ensure proper alignment of the hydraulic plumbing to the shuttle valve located in
the end cap, the end cap must be rotated in 360° rotations only. If more than two
complete rotations of the end cap are required to obtain the proper stroke
adjustment, structural damage may be present and the airplane structure must be
inspected.

(b) After the stroke length is properly adjusted, tighten the jam nut and safety wire.

(c) Perform the MAIN LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR INSTALLATION procedure in this section
(Ref. Chapter 32-30-10).

(d) Perform the HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FILLING AND BLEEDING procedure to fill and bleed the
landing gear hydraulic system (Ref. 32-30-00).

(13) Lubricate the landing gear and drag brace hinge points with the proper lubricant
(Ref. Chapter 12-20-00, MAIN LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION).

(14) Cycle the landing gear and check for proper operation of the in-transit and gear-down lights. If
necessary, adjust the downlock, up-position, and actuator downlock switches (Ref. 32-60-00).

CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the
first six minutes of operation with approximately a two minute cooling period between
cycles, then with a five minute cooling interval between each cycle.

(15) Connect the landing gear doors. If necessary, perform the MAIN LANDING GEAR DOOR
RIGGING procedure (Ref. Chapter 32-30-12).

WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the landing gear
emergency-extend hand pump handle is in the stowed position, the plunger on
the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing
gear control handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator charged to 800 ± 50 psi.

(16) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(17) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

A. Removal
(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor. Strut limiters will reduce strut

A. Rigging
Prior to rigging the main gear doors, the landing gear must be properly rigged. Refer to MAIN LANDING
GEAR RIGGING procedure. While rigging the doors, use the emergency extension hand pump to raise
and lower the landing gear (Ref. 32-30-00). The following adjustments are to be done in the sequence
as given. Any adjustment after Step (7) will require the return to Step (7) and repeat the subsequent
Steps.

(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor. Strut limiters will reduce strut
extension (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Disconnect the door actuating cams from the doors by removing the cotter pin, nut, washer, and
bolt from the upper end of the link. Position the doors so the landing gear will clear during
retraction. Check the door cams and the rollers on the landing gear to ensure free movement
(Ref. Figure 201).

(4) Position the adjusting blocks so the radius of the adjusting block approximately matches the radius
of the cam lower finger and secure with the attaching bolts.

(5) Partially retract the landing gear until the rollers are positioned next to the lower finger of the
actuating cams. Adjust the actuating cam stop bolt to a clearance of 0.02 to 0.06 inch between the
actuating cam lower finger and the roller.

(6) Retract the landing gear. Push the doors up by hand and check for fit and clearance.

(7) Working with one door at a time, manually close the door and adjust the link assembly as required
so the door closes snugly, front and rear. After adjustment is complete, tighten the jam nut on the
link.

(8) After both doors are properly adjusted, extend the landing gear and connect the links to the
actuating cams with the bolts, washers, nuts, and cotter pins.

(9) Place the upper edge of a straight edge at the centerline of the actuating cam mounting bolt and
the lower edge at the centerline of the lower link attaching bolt (Ref. Figure 201). Check the
linkage for overcenter of 0.03 to 0.50 inch. If the overcenter is within this range no further
adjustments are necessary; proceed to Step (11). If the overcenter dimension is not within the
range, then perform Step (10).

(10) If the overcenter dimension was not 0.03 to 0.50 inch, adjust the actuating cam stop block to
achieve a dimension within the range. Partially retract the landing gear until the rollers are
positioned next to the lower finger of the actuating cams. Position the adjusting block to have a
clearance of 0.02 to 0.06 inch between the adjusting block and the roller during the retraction
cycle. Extend the landing gear.

(11) Check final torque on all attaching hardware. Apply a force of approximately 25 pounds at the
lower center edge of the door. The door linkage must remain overcenter and the door must remain
open. Rig any door that folds under this 25 pound load.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 32-30-12
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(12) Cycle the landing gear several times. Check that the doors shut snugly, front and rear. During the
landing gear extension, check the door overcenter mechanism by pushing on the center of the
door toward the gear with a force of approximately 25 pounds. The doors must open and stay in
the locked position. Rig any door that folds under this 25 pound load.

(13) Lubricate the door hinges and the actuating mechanisms with the proper lubricant. Refer to MAIN
LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00).

CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the
first six minutes of operation; then allow a two minute cooling period and resume
operation of the power pack, allowing five minutes between cycles.
To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack when the
engines are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to pressurize
the power pack reservoir in place of the engine bleed air.

(14) Cycle the landing gear several times with the power pack, checking each time that the doors close
snugly when the landing gear is retracted and that they stay open when the landing gear is
extended.

WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the landing gear
emergency extend hand pump handle is in the stowed position, the plunger on
the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing
gear control handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 ± 50 psi.

(15) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(16) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

B. Hinge Wear Limits


Use the following parameters for the main gear door hinge to determine when the hinge is to be
replaced.

(1) Minimum hinge wall thickness is 0.048 inch at any point.

(2) Maximum hinge opening where the hinge pin fits is 0.060 inch at any point.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

A. Rigging
A service valve in the left hand wing, adjacent to the power pack, is provided for use with the emergency
extension hand pump to raise and lower the landing gear while the landing gear is being rigged. The
service valve is normally in a mode to extend the landing gear (red knob pushed down). The service
valve is accessible through a door in the wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. The red knob cannot
be pulled up until the hinged retainer covering it is unlatched and moved out of the way. The landing
gear must not be cycled electrically until the landing gear is properly rigged. With the airplane on jacks
and an external power supply connected and adjusted to 28 ± 0.25 volts, the landing gear is retracted
by pulling the red knob on the service valve up and then operating the emergency extension hand
pump. When the red knob is pulled up, the two switches mounted on the service valve are actuated to
open the circuit to the power pack motor and to complete a circuit from the 2-ampere control circuit
breaker to the retract solenoid on the gear selector valve. The same action positions the service valve to
route the hand pump pressure fluid to the normal retract mode plumbing to the actuators. Remove the
pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle up and down to retract the landing gear. After
the landing gear is retracted, position the emergency extend hand handle in the stowed position and
turn off the electrical power. To extend the landing gear push the red knob on the service valve down
and extend the landing gear using the emergency extension hand pump; the electrical power does not
have to be on to extend the landing gear. For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker
on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing gear is retracted, the
electrical power is on and the landing gear control handle is in the down position, the
landing gear will extend immediately.
To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack when the engines
are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to pressurize the power pack
reservoir in place of the engine bleed air.
When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the first
six minutes of operation with approximately a two-minute cooling period between cycles,
then with a five-minute cooling interval between each cycle.
Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the emergency extension hand pump
handle is in the stowed position and that the red knob on the service valve is pushed down with the
hinged retainer in place. Retract and extend the landing gear, using the hydraulic power pack to ensure
the landing gear is in the down-and-locked position before removing the airplane from the jacks.
CAUTION: Do not fully cycle the landing gear electrically until the gear is properly rigged. Use of the
emergency hand pump is recommended for initial rigging.

(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor. Strut limiters will reduce strut
extension (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Disconnect the push-pull links that operate the nose gear door from the strut by removing the nuts,
washers, and bolts that attach the rod ends to the strut.

NOTE: Use the emergency extension hand pump for all extensions and retractions during this
procedure.

(4) Retract the gear slightly to take the load off the drag brace and to unlock the actuator.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 32-30-13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(5) Remove the nut, washer, and bolt that attach the actuator clevis to the yoke on the drag brace
assembly (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: Verify continuity of the actuator switch by checking continuity between pins A and E then
H and K of connector P161.

(6) With the actuator fully extended and locked and the lower drag leg arm against the stop bolt,
loosen the jam nut on the actuator clevis and adjust the clevis so that the clevis hole aligns with the
hole in the yoke. The bolt should install freely in the yoke. Lengthen the clevis to the next keying
position and tighten the jam nut. Attach the actuator clevis to the yoke with the bolt, washer, and
nut.

(7) To eliminate any side load on the actuator, the alignment of the yoke assembly to the drag brace
assembly must be checked. Check for proper alignment as follows:

NOTE: The yoke is offset to facilitate alignment and may be installed with the short lug on either
side. If it is necessary to rotate the yoke for proper alignment, the yoke and clevis may be
rotated as an assembly by turning the actuator piston rod. Do not change the clevis
adjustment set in Step (6).

(a) Remove the cotter pin, nut, washer, bushings, and stop bolt that attach the yoke to the upper
drag leg.

(b) With the actuator fully extended, position the upper drag leg to install with the yoke. Measure
the space between the yoke and the upper drag leg on each side of the yoke.

(c) Retract the actuator to its fully retracted position. Manually push the nose gear to the
retracted position and locate the yoke assembly to install with the upper drag leg. Measure
the space between the yoke and the upper drag leg on each side of the yoke.

(d) Manually pull the drag brace to the extended position and extend the actuator. Install
AN960-616 and/or AN960-616L washers, as required, on each side of the yoke to obtain
proper alignment as determined in Steps (7) (b) and (7) (c). Install the stop bolt, bushing,
washer, and nut. A minimum of one AN960-616 or AN960-616L washer must be installed on
each side of the yoke.

(8) With the landing gear fully extended, apply moderate pressure to the drag brace assembly to
bottom out any end play in the actuator. Check for clearance between the lower drag leg and both
stops. If a clearance of 0.005 +0.005/-0.004 inch does not exist, loosen the clevis jam nut and
lengthen the clevis to the next keying position by rotating the actuator piston rod. Tighten the jam
nut and safety wire.

(9) With the landing gear fully retracted, measure the distance from the upper wheel well panel to the
O.D. of the nose gear axle. If this measurement is not 11.09 to 11.69 inches, adjust the actuator
stroke as outlined in Step (10) (Ref. Figure 202).

(10) The stroke length of the actuator (9.79 ± 0.12 inches) is preset by the supplier and should not
require adjustment. If the clearance measured in Step (9) is not within tolerance, remove the
actuator from the airplane and adjust the actuator stroke length as follows:

NOTE: To ensure proper alignment of the hydraulic plumbing to the shuttle valve located in the
end cap, the end cap must be rotated in 360° rotations only. If more than two complete
rotations are necessary to obtain the proper stroke, structural damage may be present
and the airplane structure must be inspected.

Page 203
32-30-13 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(a) Remove the safety wire and loosen the end cap jam nut. Rotate the end cap one full turn at a
time until the proper adjustment is obtained. When the end cap is rotated out, the stroke
length is increased, and when rotated in, the stroke length is decreased. Each full turn of the
end cap will change the stroke length by 0.06 inch.

(b) After the stroke length is properly adjusted, tighten the jam nut and safety wire.

(c) Perform the LANDING GEAR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FILLING AND BLEEDING procedure
(Ref. 32-30-00).

(11) Lubricate the landing gear and drag brace hinge points with the proper lubricant. Refer to NOSE
LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00).

CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the
first six minutes of operation with approximately a two minute cooling period between
cycles, then with a five minute cooling interval between each cycle.

(12) Cycle the landing gear and check for proper operation of the in-transit and gear-down lights. If
necessary, adjust the downlock, up-position, and actuator downlock switches (Ref. 32-60-00).

(13) Connect the nose gear door to the strut. If necessary rig the door. Refer to NOSE GEAR DOOR
RIGGING procedure (Ref. 32-30-15).

WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the landing gear
emergency extend hand pump handle is in the stowed position, the plunger on
the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing
gear control handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 ± 50 psi.

(14) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(15) Perform LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

D. Nose Landing Gear Actuator Ultrasonic Inspection


WARNING: Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the
airplane on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts
will be encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always
cycle the gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before
removing the airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the
landing gear.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939
hydraulic hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the
landing gear for maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).
This inspection procedure specifies the requirements and instructions for ultrasonic angle beam
inspection of the NLG actuator assembly P/N 112-380022-23 (or -3 or -15) for cracks propagating from

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

A. Rigging
The nose gear door is hinged at the front and connected to the nose gear brace with push-pull link
assembly. As the nose gear is retracted, the door is pulled closed and as the nose gear is extended, the
door is pushed open.

Page 201
32-30-15 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Prior to rigging the nose landing gear door, the landing gear must be properly rigged (Ref. 32-30-13,
NOSE LANDING GEAR RIGGING). While rigging the door, use the emergency extension hand pump to
raise and lower the landing gear (Ref. 32-30-00, LANDING GEAR HAND PUMP CYCLING).

(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor. Strut limiters will reduce strut
extension (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Disconnect the two push-pull links from the nose landing gear brace.

(4) With the landing gear fully retracted, manually close the door and check that the door is centered
in the wheel well opening. If further adjustment is necessary, reposition the AN960-716 and/or
AN960-716L washers. A minimum of one washer is required on each side of the hinges
(Ref. Figure 201).

(5) With the landing gear still retracted, manually close the door and check that the contour of the door
matches that of the nose. Add or remove the laminated shims as necessary to correct any
mismatch between the door and nose.

(6) Extend the landing gear and connect the push-pull links to the nose landing gear brace. Install the
washers in the same positions as when removed. Slowly retract the landing gear and check for a
snug fit of the door when the landing gear is fully retracted. Adjust the length of the push-pull links
at the rod ends to get the door to close snugly.

(7) Lubricate the door hinges and the push-pull links with the proper lubricant (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00,
NOSE LANDING GEAR LUBRICATION).

CAUTION: To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack when the
engines are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to pressurize
the power pack reservoir.
When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three cycles in the
first six minutes of operation with a two minute (approximately) cooling period between
cycles. After the first six minute of operation, a five minute cooling interval between
each cycle.

(8) Cycle the landing gear several times with the power pack, checking each time that the door closes
snugly when the landing gear is retracted.

WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the landing gear
emergency extend hand pump handle is in the stowed position, the plunger on
the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing
gear control handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 ± 50 psi.

(9) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.

A. Main Gear Wheel Assemblies


Two 6.50 X 10 wheels are installed on each main landing gear (Ref. TIRES for size and type). Each
wheel consists of an inner and outer wheel half held together with seven bolts and nuts with one washer
under each bolt head and nut to prevent galling and stress concentration. A packing mounted in a
groove on the inner wheel half seals the wheel against air leakage when the wheel halves are joined
together. Seven keyway liners are riveted to each inboard wheel half and project into the disc drive slots
of the flange to protect the slots from being battered by the brake rotating disc tangs. The wheels rotate
on tapered roller bearings seated in bearing cups that are shrink-fitted into each wheel half. Grease
seals are installed over each wheel bearing. The wheel assemblies are retained on each axle with two
washers, a nut and a cotter pin.

B. Nose Gear Wheel Assembly


One 6.50 X 8 wheel is installed on the nose landing gear (Ref. TIRES for size and type). The wheel
consists of an inner and outer wheel half held together with eight bolts and nuts with one washer under
each bolt head and nut to prevent galling and stress concentration. A packing mounted in a groove on
the inner wheel half seals the wheel against air leakage when the wheel halves are joined together. The
wheel rotates on tapered roller bearings seated in bearing cups that are shrink-fitted into each wheel
half. Grease seals are installed over each wheel bearing. The wheel is retained on the axle with two
washers, a nut and a cotter pin.

C. Tires
The nose landing gear wheel is equipped with a 19.50 x 6.75-8, 10 ply rated, tube type or tubeless tire.
Each main landing gear wheel is equipped with a 22 x 6.75-10, 8 ply rated, tubeless rim inflated tire.

D. Brake Assembly
The airplane is equipped with four hydraulically operated brake assemblies (Ref. Figure 1). Each main
landing gear incorporates two multi-disc, metallic lined brake assemblies bolted together, one on each
side of the strut. The two are hydraulically interconnected by an inlet swivel fitting. Each brake assembly
contains two inlet ports; one port is plugged and the other port accepts the inlet fitting. The brake
assemblies are interchangeable by changing the locations of the inlet plug and fitting. A bleeder screw
is located adjacent to each inlet port.

Page 1
32-40-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Each brake assembly contains two rotating discs, which are keyed to rotate with the wheel, a stationary
disc and a pressure plate and back plate which are attached to the brake housing. Braking action occurs
when hydraulic pressure is applied to the five small pistons in the brake housing, forcing the disc stack
together and creating friction between the rotating discs and the stationary components of the brake.

E. Hydraulic Brake System


The dual hydraulic brakes are operated by depressing the toe portion of either the pilot's or copilot's
rudder pedals. The depression of either set of pedals compresses the piston rod in the master cylinder
attached to each pedal. The hydraulic pressure resulting from the movement of the pistons in the
master cylinders is transmitted through flexible hoses and fixed aluminum tubing to the disc brake
assembly on each main landing gear wheel. Braking action occurs when hydraulic pressure at the brake
pistons forces the disc stack of each brake assembly together creating friction between the rotating
discs and the stationary components of the brake assembly. Hydraulic fluid is supplied to the master
cylinders from a reservoir accessible through the nose avionics compartment door.

F. Parking Brake Valves


Dual parking brake valves are plumbed in the lines between the master cylinders of the copilot's rudder
pedals and the wheel brakes. The two lever type valves are located just aft of the flight compartment
under the center aisle floorboard. A push-pull cable from the valve control levers runs to the pedestal,
terminating with a knob. After the brake pedals have been depressed to build up pressure in the brake
lines, both valves can be closed simultaneously by pulling out the parking brake knob on the pedestal.
This closes the valves to retain the pressure that was previously pumped into the brake lines. The
parking brake is released when the brake pedals are depressed briefly to equalize the pressure on both
sides of the valves and the parking brake knob is pushed in.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.

A. Tires
Inflate the nose gear tire to 60 psi and the main gear tires to 95 psi loaded or 91 psi if the airplane is on
jacks.
CAUTION: Tires that have picked up a fuel or oil film should be washed down as soon as possible with
a detergent solution to prevent contamination of the rubber.
Maintaining the proper tire inflation will help to avoid damage from landing shock and contact with sharp
stones and ruts, and will minimize tread wear. When inflating the tires, inspect them for cuts, cracks,
breaks and tread wear. The pressure of a serviceable tire that is fully inflated should not drop more than
4 percent over a 24 hour period.
NOTE: While Hawker Beechcraft Corporation cannot recommend the use of recapped tires, tires
retreaded by an FAA approved repair station with a specialized service limited rating for
TSO-C62c may be used.

B. Sealing Minor Leaks in Rim-Inflated Tubeless Tires


Tire sealer (74, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), is recommended as an effective means of controlling the
gradual loss of tire inflation pressure when the leakage rate does not exceed 5 percent over a 24 hour
period. A M400 injector, for applying the sealant, is available from Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
authorized outlets. Procedures for use of tire sealant are as follows:

(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING procedure (Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). Reduce the tire
pressure to 35 psig or less.

CAUTION: Keep out of line with the injector handle and remove the injector from the valve stem
before releasing the handle.

(2) Inject the tire sealant into the tire using one of the following methods:

(a) If using the M400 injector and gallon container:

1 Screw the adapter (furnished with the injector) into the container.

2 Place the M400 ejector squarely on the adapter in a vertical position.

3 Prime the injector with several slow strokes of the handle.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4 Pull the handle full back to fill the injector with tire sealant.

5 Place the tip of the injector squarely on the valve stem and inject the tire sealant by
pushing the handle completely in. The valve core does not need to be removed. One
injection will be sufficient for each tire.

(b) If using the pint container and the attached pump:

1 Install the pump on the pint container and tighten firmly.

2 Screw the adapter firmly onto the tire valve stem.

3 Operate the pump until two ounces, indicated on the container, has been pumped into
the tire.

4 Remove the adapter from the valve stem.

(3) Inflate the tire to the proper pressure, as specified under TIRES, to distribute the tire sealant within
the tire.

(4) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

2. BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING


Brake system bleeding will be required whenever the system is opened at any point between the master
cylinder and the wheel brake assembly, whenever the brakes become spongy in service, or whenever the
parking brakes will no longer hold. In the latter instance, the system should be further checked for leakage.
Use only hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in the brake system, and ensure that no dirt or
foreign matter is allowed to get into the brake system. Dirt can get under seals and cause leaks or clog the
compensating ports in the master cylinders and cause the brakes to lock.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends the use of pressure pot brake bleeding. If the pressure pot
bleeding method is not available, electric bleeding is recommended. Use the gravity method only if the other
two methods are not available. If the gravity system is used, pressure bleed the brakes at the earliest possible
time. Using any method, the parking brake lever and toe brake pedals must both be fully released to open the
compensating ports in the brake master cylinders.
If the brakes feel soft or spongy after the bleeding operation, air may be trapped in the cylinders. Remove the
brake and lay it on its side. Add brake fluid as needed through the bleed port and tap the brake lightly with a
rubber hammer to dislodge any air bubbles. When air bubbles no longer appear at the port, install the brake
and repeat the bleeding procedure.

A. Pressure Bleeding
Pressure bleeding is the most efficient method of bleeding the brake system. This procedure involves
attaching a pressure pot to the brake assembly bleeder ports and back bleeding the system to the fluid
reservoir. Procedures for utilizing the preferred pressure pot, the electric bleeder and the gravity bleed
method are outlined below.

B. Pressure Pot Bleeding Method


NOTE: The line hookup for pressure pot bleeding is the same as with the electric bleeder, except the
electric bleeder is replaced with a pressure pot (Ref. Figure 201).

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(1) Remove the sheet metal shield from around the brake fluid reservoir.

(2) Disconnect the pressure equalization line from the reservoir and attach an extension line
approximately three feet in length.

(3) Place the end of the extension line in a clean receptacle to collect the brake fluid overflow.

(4) Cut the safety wire and remove the screws from the bleeder ports of each brake assembly. Install
a bleeder hose adapter into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a bleeder hose assembly for each
set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose assemblies between the bleeder hose adapters and the
pressure lines of the pressure pot (Ref. Figure 201).

(5) Apply a constant pressure of approximately 15 pounds to the pressure pot. Open the pressure pot
control valve.

(6) Bleed the system until the draining fluid is free of air bubbles.

(7) Close the pressure pot valve. Remove the bleeder hose adapters and hose assemblies from each
landing gear. Install the screws into the bleeder ports of each brake assembly and safety wire.

(8) Remove the extension line from the pressure equalization port on the reservoir.

(9) Connect the pressure equalization line to the reservoir.

(10) Install the shield around the brake fluid reservoir.

(11) Remove the cap from the hydraulic fluid reservoir and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) as required to obtain a full reading.

(12) Check the operation of the brakes. There should be no soft or spongy feeling at the brake pedals
and the pedal pressure should be equal on both brakes.

C. Electric Bleeder Method


(1) Remove the sheet metal shield from around the brake fluid reservoir.

(2) Disconnect the pressure equalization line from the reservoir and attach the electric bleeder fluid
return line to the reservoir (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Cut the safety wire and remove the screws from the bleeder ports of each brake assembly. Install
a bleeder hose adapter into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a bleeder hose assembly for each
set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose assemblies between the bleeder hose adapters and the
pressure lines of the electric pressure bleeder.

(4) Activate the bleeder and set the relief valve to approximately 15 pounds; this may be ascertained
by observing the pressure gage prior to opening the electric bleeder control valve.

(5) Open the electric bleeder control valve and observe the returning fluid through the inline sight
glass. Pumping the pilot's and copilot's pedals during the bleeding process may help to dislodge
any air bubbles trapped in the master cylinders.

(6) When the returning fluid shows no further evidence of air bubbles, close the electric bleeder
control valve.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(7) Disconnect the fluid infusion lines from the bleeder hose assemblies and remove the bleeder hose
assemblies and adapters from the brake assemblies. Install the screws into the bleeder ports of
each brake assembly and safety wire.

(8) Disconnect the fluid return line from the brake fluid reservoir and reconnect the pressure
equalization line.

(9) Install the shield around the brake fluid reservoir.

(10) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) as
required to obtain a full reading.

(11) Check the operation of the brakes. When the brake pedals are pressed there should be no spongy
feeling and the pedal pressure should be equal on both brakes.

D. Gravity Bleeding Method


This method of bleeding is done from the master cylinder down to the brake assembly. The brake fluid
reservoir must be kept full during the bleeding operation. Since the pilot's and copilot's master cylinders
are plumbed in series, the entire system may be bled by operating the pilot's brake pedals in the
following manner:

(1) Cut the safety wire and open the bleeder port screws of both brake assemblies on one landing
gear.

(2) Press the pilot's corresponding brake pedal slowly and smoothly to eliminate air trapped in the
system.

(3) Hold the brake pedal in the pressed position and close the bleeder port screws at the brake
assemblies.

(4) Release the brake pedal.

(5) Repeat Steps (1), (2), (3) and (4) until no more air bubbles appear in the drained fluid.

(6) Open the bleeder port screws of both brake assemblies on the other landing gear and repeat
Steps (1), (2), (3) and (4), pressing the other brake pedal until no more air bubbles appear in the
drained fluid.

(7) Tighten the bleeder port screws at all four brake assemblies and safety wire.

(8) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) as
required to obtain a full reading.

(9) Check the brakes for proper operation. When the brake pedals are pressed there should be no
spongy feeling and the pedal pressure should be equal for both brakes.

(2) Remove clevis pin, washer, and cotter pin attaching the master cylinder clevis to the rudder pedal.
Slide clevis free of the lug on the rudder pedal.

(3) The length of the cylinder piston can be adjusted by turning clevis on or off the piston shaft. Adjust
clevis so that the distance between the centerline of clevis hole and the centerline of master
cylinder bottom attach hole is 9 inches. The length of the shaft should be adjusted so that the
piston does not bottom when the brake is applied.

(4) Move master cylinder clevis into position to mate with the lug on the rudder pedal and install clevis
pin, washer, and cotter pin.

(5) Tighten clevis locknut.

(6) Check upper and lower attachment points of the master cylinder for possible interference with
attachment lugs on the rudder pedal.

9. PARKING BRAKE CONTROL CABLE

A. Adjustment
NOTE: Overhaul of the parking brake valves is not recommended. If leakage is encountered, replace
the valve.
To ensure proper operation of the parking brake valves, it is important that full travel of the valves be
maintained. Adjust the control cable as follows:

(1) Remove first center aisle floorboard panel aft of the flight compartment.

(2) Remove cover from the bowl assembly (Ref. Figure 206).

(3) Loosen bolts securing the phenolic blocks to the bracket and position outer housing of the cable in
the blocks until pushing in on the control knob fully opens the valves. Tighten bolts.

(4) Pull control knob out and check that the valves close fully.

(5) If necessary, loosen bolts and reposition the outer housing of the cable in the blocks until the
valves open and close fully.

(6) Install the cover on the bowl assembly.

(7) Install the center aisle floorboard.

brakes depending on operating conditions. This Table should only be used as a guide. Brakes
must be removed from service at full wear.
A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a
normal flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.

B. Fluid Reservoir Pressure Equalization Filter Cleaning


The brake fluid reservoir is plumbed so that cabin air is directed into the top of the reservoir through the
pressure equalization line. A filter is located in the pressure equalization line just forward of the forward
pressure bulkhead. This filter is to be removed and cleaned as follows:

(1) Disconnect the line to the top of the reservoir from the filter, and remove the filter from the tee at
the forward pressure bulkhead.

(2) Clean the filter with cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), and blow dry with
compressed air.

(3) Install the filter on the tee, and connect the line from the reservoir to the filter.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Fluid Reservoir Pressure Equalization Orifice Cleaning


Cabin air contaminants (fuzz, lint, nicotine, tar, etc.) can find their way into the orifice installed in the
pressure equalization line and eventually reduce the orifice so that excessive air is diverted into the
brake fluid reservoir, causing excessive pressure to be applied to the master cylinders. Clean the orifice
as follows:

(1) Disconnect the line from the brake fluid reservoir to the pressure equalization line filter and remove
the filter.

(2) Where the filter was removed, inject a small amount of cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) into that line with low air pressure. Check the solvent flowing from the bottom drain for
cleanliness. Repeat as necessary until clean solvent flows from the bottom drain.

(3) After clean solvent flows from the bottom drain, blow out the line thoroughly with low air pressure.

(4) Install the filter. Connect the line from the brake fluid reservoir to the filter.

LANDING GEAR
ANTISKID BRAKES
32-41-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
In addition to the components of the standard brake system, the antiskid system incorporates a number of
electrical and hydraulic components: an antiskid box assembly mounted in the nose gear wheel well contains
a pump and motor assembly, filter, check valve, power brake valve, and high and low pressure switches
(Ref. Figure 1). Additional equipment includes a control switch mounted on the pedestal, a pump motor relay
and two-position three-way solenoid valve mounted above the antiskid box assembly, an accumulator
mounted in the nose wheel well, a skid control unit mounted under the copilot's floorboard and wheel speed
transducers mounted in each main gear axle.
The antiskid control circuit is protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker located on the RH circuit breaker panel.
The control switch, placarded ANTISKID-OFF, energizes the motor relay and the two-position solenoid valve
when it is placed in the ANTISKID position. Power for the pump motor is supplied through the motor relay and
the 20-ampere limiter located in the LH nacelle electrical distribution panel. The motor relay is grounded
through the high pressure switch and the nose gear downlock switch. The actuation points of the high
pressure switch are set to maintain the system pressure between 950 to 1375 psi. Fluid under pressure from
the pump is directed through the solenoid valve to the pressure inlet port of the power brake valve. An
accumulator (precharged to 600 ±100 psi) plumbed in the line from the pump to the power brake valve aids in
maintaining the system pressure. Any time the system pressure drops below 615 to 685 psi, the low pressure
switch will ground a relay located under the second floorboard panel forward of the main spar, energizing the
time delay relay under the first floorboard panel aft of the main spar, which will illuminate a yellow ANTISKID
FAIL annunciator in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel. A maintenance switch mounted on the brake fluid
reservoir provides power to open the two-position solenoid valve when the reservoir cap is removed.
The dual hydraulic brakes are operated by depressing the toe portion of either the pilot's or copilot's rudder
pedals. The depression of either set of pedals compresses the piston rod in the master cylinder attached to
each pedal. The hydraulic pressure resulting from the movement of the pistons in the master cylinders is
transmitted through flexible hoses and fixed aluminum tubing to the power brake valve. Braking action occurs
when hydraulic pressure (generated by the master cylinders or metered pressure from the pump) at the brake
pistons forces the disc stack of each brake assembly together creating friction between the rotating discs and
the stationary components of the brake assembly.

A. Manual Mode
When the antiskid system is in the manual mode (control switch on pedestal in the OFF position), there
will be no fluid pressure from the pump at the pressure inlet port of the power brake valve
(Ref. Figure 2). This allows the pressure generated at the master cylinders to force the shuttle valves in
the power brake valve to open.

Page 1
32-41-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Antiskid Mode
With the brake system in the antiskid mode, the pump pressure present at the inlet port of the power
brake valve will position the internal shuttle valves to isolate the master cylinder pressure from the brake
assemblies and to open a passage for metered pump pressure to the brake assemblies (Ref. Figure 3).
Master Cylinder pressure in the power brake valve acts on the control valve piston to close the return
passage and to open the passage for pump pressure into the control valve. The resulting metered
pressure is applied to the control valve spool to balance the pressure delivered to the brake assemblies
with the master cylinder pressure. As the master cylinder pressure is increased or decreased, the
control valve spool moves to allow fluid to escape through the return passage decreasing the metered
pressure or to close the return port allowing the metered pressure to increase.
The wheel speed transducers monitor the wheel RPM and relay the information to the skid control unit
to be processed. The skid control unit sends electrical signals to the servo valve mounted on the power
brake valve based on the information provided by the wheel transducers. The servo valve responds to
the input from the skid control unit by varying its control pressure. The control pressure is created in the
cavity of the servo valve between the system pressure nozzle and the system return nozzle. Signals
from the skid control unit control the opening and closing of the two nozzles. When no electrical signal
from the skid control unit is present, the pressure nozzle is open and the return nozzle is closed;
therefore, the control pressure of the servo valve is the same as the pump pressure and has no effect
on the operation of the control valve. When a skid condition is imminent, the appropriate signal is sent to
the servo valve and the servo valve control pressure is reduced as the pressure nozzle is closed. When
the control pressure is reduced, pump pressure at the opposite end of the control valve spools moves
the spools to open the return passages allowing fluid in the control valves to bleed off, resulting in a
reduced pressure to all four brake assemblies. As the wheel RPM begins to increase, the servo valve
control pressure increases, resulting in an increased brake pressure. If the wheel transducers indicate
that the wheels are still in a skid condition, the brake pressure will be decreased again. This cycle will
continue until the tendency for the wheels to skid has ended. Differential braking between the LH and
RH master cylinders will be maintained while the antiskid function is operating.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
NOTE: Refer to 32-40-00 for the following maintenance practices: removal and installation of the master
cylinders, parking brake valves, nose wheel, and main wheel and brakes; adjustment of the parking
brake cable and the master cylinder linkage; brake wear limits; and cleaning of the pressure
equalization filter and orifice.

A. Servicing
Brake system servicing is limited primarily to maintaining the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir
mounted in the upper RH corner of the aft bulkhead of the nose avionics compartment and to
maintaining an accumulator precharge of 600 ± 100 psi. To check the fluid level, turn the master switch
ON, turn the antiskid switch OFF, ensure that the parking brake is off, remove the reservoir cap and
depress the brake pedals 15 to 20 times to deplete the accumulator. If no fluid is visible in the reservoir
sight glass, add a sufficient quantity of hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) to raise the fluid level to
the lower edge of the filler neck.

B. Bleeding
Brake system bleeding will be required whenever the system is opened at any point between the master
cylinders and the wheel brake assemblies, whenever the brakes become spongy in service, or
whenever the parking brakes will no longer hold. In the latter instance, the system should be further
checked for leakage.
Use only hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) in the brake system and ensure that no dirt or foreign
matter is allowed to get into the brake system. Dirt can get under seals and cause leaks or clog the
compensating ports in the master cylinders and cause the brakes to lock.
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends the use of pressure pot bleeding. If the pressure pot
bleeding method is not available, electric bleeding is recommended. Use the gravity method only if the
other two methods are not available. If the gravity method is used, pressure bleed the brakes at the
earliest possible time. Using any method, the parking brake control and toe brake pedals must both be
fully released to open the compensating ports in the brake master cylinders.
If the brakes feel soft or spongy after the bleeding operation, air may be trapped in the cylinders.
Remove the brake and lay it on its side. Add brake fluid as needed through the bleed port and tap the
brake lightly with a rubber hammer to dislodge any air bubbles. When air bubbles no longer appear at
the port, install the brake and repeat the bleeding procedure.

Page 201
32-41-00 May 1/12
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Gravity Bleeding Method


This method of bleeding is done from the master cylinder down to the brake assembly. The brake fluid
reservoir must be kept full during the bleeding operation. Since the pilot's and copilot's master cylinders
are plumbed in series, the manual portion of the system may be bled by operating the pilot's brake
pedals only. Bleed the brakes in the following manner:

(1) Cut the safety wire and open the bleeder port screws of both brake assemblies on one landing
gear.

(2) Press the pilot's corresponding brake pedal slowly and smoothly to eliminate air trapped in the
system.

(3) Hold the brake pedal in the pressed position and close the bleeder port screws at the brake
assemblies.

(4) Release the brake pedal.

(5) Repeat Steps (1), (2), (3), and (4) until no more air bubbles appear in the drained fluid.

(6) Open the bleeder port screws of the other brake assembly and repeat Steps (1), (2), (3), and (4)
while pressing the other brake pedal until no more air bubbles appear in the drained fluid.

(7) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) as required to
obtain a full reading.

(8) Remove the screws from the brake bleeder ports of each brake assembly. Install a bleeder hose
adapter into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a bleeder hose assembly for each set of brakes;
connect the bleeder hose assemblies to the bleeder hose adapters (Ref. 32-40-00).

(9) Connect 25 feet of tygon tubing with an in-line filter to the bleeder hose assembly on the LH
landing gear; remove the brake fluid reservoir cap and place the other end of the tygon tubing in
the reservoir. Cap the bleeder hose assembly on the RH landing gear.

(10) Connect an external power supply to the airplane and adjust the voltage to 28 ± 0.25 volts
(Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(11) Place the antiskid control switch in the ANTISKID position and allow the system to normalize.

(12) Apply light pressure to the pilot's left brake pedal and hold. Allow the antiskid system pump to
slowly purge all the remaining air from the left side of the brake system. When the brake fluid
returning to the reservoir is free of air, place the antiskid control switch in the OFF position.

(13) Disconnect the tygon tubing from the LH brake assemblies and connect it to the bleeder hose
assembly on the RH brake assemblies; cap the bleeder hose assembly on the LH landing gear.

(14) Turn the antiskid control switch to the ANTISKID position and allow the system to normalize.

(15) Apply light pressure to the pilot's right brake pedal and hold. Allow the antiskid system pump to
slowly purge all the remaining air from the right side of the brake system. When the brake fluid
returning to the reservoir is free of air, place the antiskid control switch in the OFF position.

(16) Disconnect the tygon tubing from the RH brake assemblies.

Page 202
May 1/12 32-41-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(17) Remove the bleeder hose assemblies and adapters from the brake assemblies. Install the screws
into the bleeder ports of each brake assembly and safety wire.

(18) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) as required to
obtain a full reading.

(19) With the antiskid control switch in the OFF position check the brakes for proper operation. When
the brake pedals are pressed, there should be no spongy feeling and the pedal pressure should be
equal for both brakes.

D. Pressure Bleeding
Pressure bleeding is the most efficient method of bleeding the brake system. This procedure involves
attaching a pressure pot or an electric bleeder to the brake fluid reservoir and bleeding the system to the
brake assemblies. Procedures for utilizing the pressure pot and the electric bleeder are outlined below.

E. Pressure Pot Bleeding Method


(1) Remove the sheet metal shield from around the brake fluid reservoir.

(2) Disconnect the pressure equalization line from the reservoir and attach the pressure line of the
pressure pot to the reservoir.

(3) Cut the safety wire and remove the screws from the bleeder ports of each brake assembly. Install
a bleeder hose adapter into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a bleeder hose assembly for each
set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose assemblies to the bleeder hose adapters (Ref. 32-40-00).

(4) Connect an extension line to each bleeder hose assembly and place the ends of the extension
lines in a clean receptacle to collect the brake fluid overflow.

(5) Apply a constant pressure of approximately 15 pounds to the pressure pot. Open the pressure pot
control valve.

(6) Bleed the system until the draining fluid is free of air bubbles.

(7) Close the pressure pot valve.

(8) Remove the pressure pot pressure line from the reservoir. Connect the pressure equalization line
to the reservoir, and install the shield around the reservoir.

(9) Remove the extension lines from the bleeder hose assemblies.

(10) Remove the cap from the hydraulic fluid reservoir and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00)
as required to obtain a full reading.

(11) Connect 25 feet of tygon tubing with an in-line filter to the bleeder hose assembly of the LH landing
gear; remove the brake fluid reservoir cap and place the other end of the tygon tubing in the
reservoir. Cap the bleeder hose assembly on the RH landing gear.

(12) Connect an external power supply to the airplane and adjust the voltage to 28 ± 0.25 volts
(Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(13) Place the antiskid control switch in the ANTISKID position and allow the system to normalize.

Page 203
32-41-00 May 1/12
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(14) Apply light pressure to the pilot's left brake pedal and hold. Allow the antiskid system pump to
slowly purge all the remaining air from the left side of the brake system. When the brake fluid
returning to the reservoir is free of air, place the antiskid control switch in the OFF position.

(15) Disconnect the tygon tubing from the LH brake assemblies and connect it to the bleeder hose
assembly on the RH brake assemblies; cap the bleeder hose assembly on the LH landing gear.

(16) Turn the antiskid control switch to the ANTISKID position and allow the system to normalize.

(17) Apply light pressure to the pilot's right brake pedal and hold. Allow the antiskid system pump to
slowly purge all the remaining air from the right side of the brake system. When the brake fluid
returning to the reservoir is free of air, place the antiskid control switch in the OFF position.

(18) Disconnect the tygon tubing from the RH brake assemblies.

(19) Remove the bleeder hose assemblies and adapters from the brake assemblies. Install the screws
into the bleeder ports of each brake assembly and safety wire.

(20) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) as required to
obtain a full reading.

(21) With the antiskid control switch in the OFF position, check the brakes for proper operation. When
the brake pedals are pressed, there should be no spongy feeling and the pedal pressure should be
equal for both brakes.

F. Electric Bleeder Method


(1) Remove the sheet metal shield from around the brake fluid reservoir.

(2) Disconnect the pressure equalization line from the reservoir and attach the electric bleeder fluid
infusion line.

(3) Cut the safety wire and remove the screws from the bleeder ports of each brake assembly. Install
a bleeder hose adapter into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a bleeder hose assembly for each
set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose assemblies to the bleeder hose adapters (Ref. 32-40-00).

(4) Connect the electric bleeder fluid return line to the bleeder hose assemblies on each brake
assembly.

(5) Activate the bleeder and set the relief valve to approximately 15 pounds; this may be ascertained
by observing the pressure gage prior to opening the brake bleeder valves.

(6) Open the electric bleeder control valve and observe the returning fluid through the in-line sight
glass. Pumping the pilot's and copilot's pedals during the bleeding process may help to dislodge
any air bubbles trapped in the master cylinders.

(7) When the returning fluid shows no further evidence of air bubbles, close the electric bleeder
control valve.

(8) Disconnect the fluid infusion line and the fluid return line from the airplane.

(9) Connect 25 feet of tygon tubing with an in-line filter to the bleeder hose assembly of the LH landing
gear; remove the brake fluid reservoir cap and place the other end of the tygon tubing in the
reservoir. Cap the bleeder hose assembly on the RH landing gear.

returning to the reservoir is free of air, place the antiskid control switch in the OFF position.

(16) Disconnect the tygon tubing from the RH brake assemblies.

(17) Remove the bleeder hose assemblies and adapters from the brake assemblies. Install the screws
into the bleeder ports of each brake assembly and safety wire.

(18) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, 91-00-00) as required to
obtain a full reading.

(19) With the antiskid control switch in the OFF position, check the brakes for proper operation. When
the brake pedals are pressed, there should be no spongy feeling and the pedal pressure should be
equal for both brakes.

2. ANTISKID SYSTEM

A. Functional Check
This check is to be used whenever major components of the antiskid system have been replaced, when
faulty system operation is suspected, or at intervals specified in Chapter 05-10-00. The procedure will
verify proper operation of the complete system including components, plumbing, control and associated
wiring.
The mechanical coupling of the hubcap and drive clip to the wheel speed transducer is not covered in
this check. This must be visually checked during installation of the hubcaps.
NOTE: The brake hydraulic system must be thoroughly bled before performing this procedure.
The following equipment is required to perform the functional test:
• A hand held drill with a range of 1000 to 2000 rpm.
• A transducer drive fixture fabricated locally (Ref. Figure 201 or 202).
• Pressure gages with a range of 0 to 1000 psi.
Two technicians are required to perform the test.

(1) Release the parking brake and chock both the left and right wheels.

(2) Remove all the main gear hubcaps (Ref. 32-40-00).

Page 205

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Install pressure gages in the brake bleed port.

(4) Connect the airplane to an external 28 vdc power source (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(5) Close the antiskid circuit breaker and place the antiskid control switch in the ON position.

(6) Apply full brake pressure and hold through the next five Steps. All brake pressures should be
approximately 600 psi.

drill. Abruptly stop rotation of the transducer and note an immediate drop in pressure at all brakes
followed by gradual increase of pressure (smooth return to original pressure) within 10 to 20
seconds (time is not critical).

(10) Spin the right outboard wheel speed transducer at a constant 1000 to 2000 rpm with the hand held
drill. Abruptly stop rotation of the transducer and note an immediate drop in pressure at all brakes
followed by gradual increase of pressure (smooth return to original pressure) within about 10 to 20
seconds (time is not critical).

(11) Spin the right inboard wheel speed transducer at a constant 1000 to 2000 rpm with the hand held
drill. Abruptly stop rotation of the transducer and note an immediate drop in pressure at all brakes
followed by a gradual increase of pressure (smooth return to original pressure) within about 10 to
20 seconds (time is not critical).

(12) The functional check is now complete. Remove the pressure gages and install all hubcaps so the
transducer drive clips properly engage the wheel speed transducer couplings (Ref. 32-40-00).

LANDING GEAR
BRAKE DEICE SYSTEM
32-42-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The heated air for brake deicing is supplied by bleeding air from the compressor of each engine. The brake
deicer is plumbed into the bleed air system that provides air for surface deice and instrument vacuum
operation. The engine bleed air line is routed near the center of each nacelle to a solenoid-operated firewall
shutoff valve in each main gear wheel well. From the shutoff valve, bleed air is routed through a hose secured
to the aft side of the landing gear strut and down to a distributor manifold attached to each brake assembly.
The bleed air is directed to the brake for each wheel through orifices around the circumference of each ring of
the distributor manifold (Ref Figures 1 and 2).
The brake deice system is controlled by a toggle switch (placarded BRAKE DEICE/OFF) mounted on the
pilot's inboard subpanel. When this switch is in the BRAKE DEICE position, power from the airplane electrical
system is supplied through a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the RH circuit breaker panel to the brake deice
control module assembly, located under the center aisle floorboard nine feet forward of the main spar.
Current is then supplied from this point to open the solenoid shutoff valves on the aft side of the firewall in the
main gear wheel wells, allowing the hot bleed air to enter the distributor manifold for diffusion through the
orifices to deice the brakes. A switch, which is part of the solenoid shutoff valve, provides a signal to light the
green L BK DEICE ON and R BK DEICE ON annunciators in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel when the
shutoff valve is open. If the airplane is flown without the brake deice switch having been turned to OFF, a
circuit is completed through the brake deice control module relay to a timing circuit in the brake deice control
module. The timing circuit will close the shutoff valves after 10 minutes of operation, shutting off the flow of
bleed air to the brakes so that adjacent components will incur no damage through overheating. If it is desired
to turn the brake deice system back on, the landing gear must be lowered and the switch cycled OFF, then
ON, before the system will operate.
Additional protection against damage from overheating of the brake deice system is provided by the brake
deice overtemp warning system. In this system low pressure plumbing lines are routed from the engine bleed
air distributor manifold beneath the cabin floorboards into each wheel well, where the lines are terminated in
soft plastic tubing plugged at the end to contain pressure. The soft plastic tubing is routed in close proximity to
the main engine bleed air lines which provide hot air to deice the brakes. If overheating of the brake deice
system should occur, the soft plastic lines will melt, thus relieving the pressure in the warning system lines. As
pressure is relieved, a pressure switch, which is tapped off of the soft plastic line in each wheel well, will
activate yellow L BK DI OVHT and/or R BK DI OVHT annunciators in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel,
thereby warning the operator that the brake deice system should be turned OFF.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The nose wheel steering mechanism, which is mounted on the LH side of the nose wheel well, provides direct
linkage to the rudder pedals, allowing the nose wheel to be turned 15° to the left of center and 15° to the right.
A spring mechanism in the steering linkage dampens the transmission of excessive shock loads to the rudder
pedals and permits tow bar or braked steering angles greater than that provided by the rudder pedal system.
A straightener bracket on the airplane structure and the straightener guide on the steering bellcrank
automatically centers the nose gear wheel when the landing gear is extended or retracted.
To remove the steering action from the rudder pedals when the airplane is in flight, a steering disconnect
actuator, disconnect link and disconnect cam are incorporated into the steering mechanism. The aft end of
the disconnect link is connected to the disconnect cam with a bearing that travels in a slot in the cam. The
actuator, which is attached to the disconnect link, moves the bearing up and down in the slot as the actuator
is extended and retracted. Switches in the actuator limit the travel of the actuator. Power for the electric
disconnect actuator is drawn from a 5-ampere NOSE GEAR STEER circuit breaker located on the RH circuit
breaker panel. When the weight is removed from the LH main gear strut, the safety switch is actuated to
complete a circuit to the extend circuit of the actuator. As the actuator is extended, the aft end of the steering
disconnect link follows the slot in the disconnect cam, rendering the steering mechanism unaffected by the
rudder pedals. When weight is placed on the LH landing gear strut, the safety switch is actuated to complete
a circuit to the actuator retract circuit. As the actuator is retracted the aft end of the steering disconnect link
follows the slot in the disconnect cam, making the nose wheel steering operable through the rudder pedals.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the aircraft from jacks.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The power steering system provides two steering modes, a ± 10° taxi mode and a ± 63° parking mode, both
of which are selected by the control switch located on the pedestal and placarded OFF - TAXI - PARK.
Rotation of the nose gear shock absorber for steering purposes is performed by a rotary actuator mounted on
top of the nose gear assembly. The actuator consists of a two-position solenoid arming valve, a servo valve,
a pressure-actuated selector valve, and two pistons. A pump and motor assembly located in the LH wheel
well drives the actuator hydraulically. The power steering pump uses the primary reservoir of the landing gear
power pack as a fluid supply. The nose landing gear normal extend line is utilized as the pressure line to the
power steering actuator. A two-position solenoid valve mounted just outboard of the power pack is plumbed
into the nose gear extend line to block the entry of the power steering system pressure fluid into the power
pack. A tee located in the nose gear extend line in the nose wheel well directs the fluid to the pressure port of
the actuator. Until it is energized, the actuator arming valve prevents the entry of the pressure fluid into the
actuator. Return fluid from the power steering actuator enters the emergency extension hand pump suction
line, returning the fluid to the power pack (Ref. Figures 1 and 2).
CAUTION: Do not operate the power steering pump without having the landing gear power pack reservoir
pressurized to 18 psi with regulated dry air.
Command potentiometers, mounted on the pilot's rudder pedal assembly, transmit the pilot's steering input to
the power steering signal amplifier located under the copilot's seat. Nose gear follow-up potentiometers,
located above the nose gear assembly, monitor the nose gear steering action and relay this information to the
power steering signal amplifier. The signal amplifier then transmits electrical signals to the actuator servo
valve where the appropriate orifices and valves are closed or opened to achieve the correct steering direction
as commanded by the rudder pedal steering input.
The power steering control circuit is protected by a five ampere circuit breaker located on the RH circuit
breaker panel. Power for the pump motor is supplied through the power steering motor relay and 35-ampere
limiter, both of which are located in the LH nacelle electrical power distribution panel. The motor relay, two
position solenoid valve, and actuator arming valve are energized simultaneously by current from the control
relay. The control relay is energized by the power steering control switch and is grounded through the locking
relay and the power steering activation switch located on the LH power lever. The locking relay will retain the
ground circuit through the steering disconnect switches as long as either power lever is retarded below an N1
speed of 89%. Once the power levers are advanced beyond an N1 speed of 91% the control relay will be
grounded only while the steering activation switch is actuated. The LH main gear downlock switch and safety
switch will open the control circuit, nullifying the steering system, when the airplane leaves the ground. A
nose gear position switch mounted on the nose gear straightener link (on airplane prior to S/N UB-68) will
prevent retraction of the landing gear if the nose wheel is not centered. This switch will not be present on
airplane that have complied with Optional Service Bulletin 2191.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

When the power steering control switch is in the OFF position or in the TAXI or PARK position without the
power steering activation switch being actuated, the steering system is inoperative and the steering actuator
will be in the caster mode functioning as a shimmy damper. When the power steering control switch is in the
PARK position, the steering system provides a ± 63° steering mode when the steering activation switch is
actuated, on the condition that at least one power lever is retarded below an N1 speed of 89%. Once both
power levers are advanced beyond an N1 speed of 91%, the control switch solenoid will no longer hold the
switch in the PARK position and it will move to the TAXI position, with the only steering available being ±10°
steering while the power steering activation switch is actuated. The ± 63° steering mode can be reactivated
by retarding one or both power levers below an N1 speed of 89% and placing the control switch in the PARK
position. When the control switch is in the TAXI position, the steering system provides a ± 10° steering mode
when the steering activation switch is actuated.
A yellow MAN STEER FAIL annunciator in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel illuminates if the actuator
selector valve is in the power steering mode with:
(a) The airplane on the ground and the control switch OFF.
(b) The airplane on the ground with the control switch in the TAXI or PARK position without the
steering activation switch actuated.
(c) The airplane in flight and the control switch in the OFF or TAXI position with landing gear
extended.
(d) The airplane in flight and the control switch in the TAXI position with landing gear retracted.

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the aircraft from jacks.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The 1900 Airliner power steering system utilizes a number of primary, secondary and tertiary controls which
are interfaced to provide an efficient and highly dependable system. A fault detection system provides for
monitoring the response of the nose wheel to inputs from the flight crew when the power steering is in use.
Fault sensing is accomplished by the power steering signal amplifier through which all command and
monitoring information is processed.
The various amplifier inputs and outputs have very predictable characteristics in the operating system. It is
possible to access these inputs and outputs by using a special breakout unit. The predictable nature of the
amplifier signals makes it possible to use these values to troubleshoot faults in the system. The breakout unit
provides parallel access to the amplifier signals. Refer to Charts in Figures 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106.

A. Troubleshooting Notes (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Prior to beginning any troubleshooting of the power steering system, the airplane must be placed in the
following state:

(1) Nose wheel jacked clear of the ground.

(2) Nose wheel and rudder pedals in the neutral position.

(3) Breakout unit connected between the amplifier and the airplane harness.

(4) 28-vdc regulated APU connected to airplane and turned on.

(5) Battery switch turned on.

(6) External power switch turned on.

(7) Main gear on the ground or squat switches bypassed. Refer to Wiring Diagram Manual for correct
switch location.

(8) References to the following notes are found on the troubleshooting Charts in this section:

1. Remove the low pressure switch that is located on the LH side of the Nose Gear Wheel
Well and jumper the leads from the switch. Install in the line a pressure gage capable of
measuring 3000 psi. Engage the power steering system and monitor the system
pressure until the pressure meets or exceeds 2000 psig.

Page 101
32-51-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

2. Disconnect the extend line from the landing gear power pack and engage the power
steering system; there should be no fluid returning from the extend line if the
two-position valve is operating properly.
3. System calibration is to be found in this section. Refer to POWER STEERING
CALIBRATION.
4. Check the servo solenoid coils with an ohmmeter or continuity checker for open or
shorted condition.
5. Continuity between pins A and B of the selector valve receptacle (J3) will confirm that
the arming valve is open.
6. Diodes may be checked by using an ohmmeter or a continuity checker; continuity
should be indicated in one direction only. In the event one of these diodes is shorted,
damage may have resulted to the amplifier.
7. The power steering can only be engaged with the switch in the TAXI or PARK position,
then momentarily pressing the activation switch on the power lever.
8. Restrictor fittings installed in the valve body inlet and return ports are color coded. The
inlet restrictor is brown and the return restrictor is black. Failure to install the restrictors
in the proper ports will render the landing gear inoperative (UB-1 thru UB-22).

B. Signal Amplifier (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Command and monitoring logic and functional testing of the fault detection circuits are all functions of
the power steering signal amplifier. Inputs from the command and nose gear follow-up potentiometers
are compared by way of a Wheatstone bridge circuit. When the amplifier senses an imbalance between
the sides of the bridge circuit, the nose gear actuator is driven one direction or the other in an attempt to
rebalance the bridge. Similarly, the two monitor potentiometers are compared to one another by the
amplifier. When an imbalance is sensed between the monitor potentiometer circuit and the control
potentiometer circuit, the amplifier will interrupt ground to the controlling relays at pin 1 of the amplifier,
and the system will be deactivated. On earlier model amplifiers the imbalance is sensed with 3°
difference between rudder pedal position and nosewheel position. On airplane with the amplifier, P/N
50700-5, a 7° difference will deactivate the system.
Inputs from the test switch bypass the command potentiometer and drive the nose gear actuator to the
right or left to create a deliberate imbalance between the monitor and control circuits. This imbalance is
then sensed by the amplifier, which activates the fault detection circuitry. Pin 16 inputs the test signal
while pins 26 and 31 provide the signal outputs.
The amplifier provides an output from pin 28 which, when applied back into the amplifier at pin 29, will
reset the nose gear maximum travel circuitry to a greater maximum travel so the airplane can be more
easily maneuvered for parking.
Operating current to the amplifier is input at pin 20 and grounding is effected at pin 22. Pins 37 and 19
are discrete outputs which operate the servo valve in the actuator.
Two adjustable potentiometers, accessible through the case of the amplifier, can be used for making
final adjustments for centering of the nose gear. One potentiometer is labeled CENTER and the other is
labeled MONITOR. Any time an adjustment is made to the centering potentiometer, an equal
adjustment must be made to the monitoring potentiometer.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. System Control (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


When the Power steering control switch is in the OFF position, current from the 5-ampere power
steering control circuit breaker arms the MAN STEER FAIL annunciator circuit through the RH gear
downlock switch.
When the control switch is placed in the TAXI position, current to the MAN STEER FAIL annunciator
circuit is shunted around the RH gear downlock switch through the normally closed contacts of the
control relay. Control current is then fed through the LH gear safety switch to power the ground latching
relay and the control relay; however, neither relay is energized in this state since their ground circuits
are not complete. Current through the LH gear downlock switch is supplied to the fault indicator relay,
closing it. In the event the fault indicator relay does not close as a result of the amplifier removing
ground from the relay, the current will be fed through the normally closed contacts of the fault indicator
relay to the fault indicator time delay module and PWR STEER FAIL annunciator. The time delay
module must complete a two second delay before energizing the annunciator light. This same current is
also fed to the amplifier as operating power. The system is armed in this state, but not operating.
When the power steering activation switch is actuated, the ground circuit to the ground latching relay is
completed and the relay closes, latching to ground and simultaneously supplying ground to the control
relay which closes in response. When the control relay closes, ground is applied to the arming valve and
the servo valve circuits. At the same time, current which had been made available to the MAN STEER
FAIL annunciator circuit is now switched by the control relay to energize the two-position solenoid valve,
the pump motor power relay, the arming valve and the low pressure switch circuit and, if the low
pressure switch is closed, the fault indicator time delay module and the PWR STEER FAIL annunciator
after the appropriate time delay.
Placing the control switch in the PARK position applies the park signal to the amplifier which activates
the park circuitry after a four second time delay. In this state, should the power levers be advanced
enough to open the park disconnect switches, the park signal circuit will be interrupted and the control
switch will return to the TAXI position. When the park disconnect switches open, the steering disconnect
switches are opened as well, thereby removing ground from the ground latching relay, and opening it,
which will open the grounding circuit to the control relay, opening it. The fault indicator relay will continue
to be energized. When the control relay opens, the ground signals will be removed from the arming
valve and the servo valve. Power will be removed from the two-position solenoid valve, the pump motor
relay, the arming valve and the low pressure switch circuit.
Any time the amplifier senses a fault and system operation is interrupted, the nose gear always returns
to the caster mode and taxi is accomplished by differential braking.

D. Breakout Unit (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


A breakout unit, used to access amplifier inputs and outputs, can be built in the shop from readily
available materials (Ref. Figure 101). Each jack on the face of the unit corresponds to a pin of the
connector on the power steering amplifier unit. Each wire in the length of cable which has the plug
attached to it is soldered to the correspondingly numbered jack and then attached to the receptacle on
the side of the unit. When the unit is completed and the unit's plug is connected to the amplifier and the
airplane harness is connected to the breakout unit, the breakout unit is in parallel with the airplane
harness and, therefore, in parallel with any signals carried through the breakout unit.
A digital voltmeter is recommended for use when troubleshooting the power steering system. Only a
digital voltmeter should be used when adjusting the potentiometers. The negative lead from the DVM
should be connected to jack number 22, since this is the only pin of the amplifier which has a continuous
ground.

The troubleshooting Charts which follow are to be used as a guide for the logical flow of activity during
the troubleshooting procedure. All possible faults or pilot complaints and observations were considered
when building these troubleshooting Charts, and it is anticipated that all faults will be discovered during
troubleshooting if the Charts are followed to conclusion.

E. System Calibration (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Should troubleshooting reveal that an out-of-calibration condition has caused the fault in a system, the
command and monitoring potentiometers must be adjusted. The following procedure is the only
procedure recommended for calibration of the command and monitoring potentiometers.

(1) Jack the nose gear off the ground.

(2) Connect a regulated 28-vdc APU to the airplane.

(3) Connect the breakout unit between the amplifier and the airplane harness.

(4) The nose gear and the rudder pedals must be in the neutral position.

(5) Turn on the battery and master switches and the external power switch, then place the power
steering switch in TAXI.

(6) Measure the voltage between amplifier pins 33 and 25 and between pins 34 and 23; these
voltages must be equal to 24 ± 0.2 vdc.

(7) Divide this voltage by 2; this voltage ± 0.1 vdc is the target voltage for adjusting the
potentiometers.

(8) Connect a digital voltmeter between test points 14 and 34 of the breakout unit.

(9) Loosen the three clamping screws at the base of the potentiometer assembly.

(10) Rotate the command potentiometer assembly until the voltmeter reading is equal to the target
voltage ± 0.1 vdc.

(11) Tighten the three clamping screws.

(12) Connect the voltmeter between test points 6 and 36 and read this voltage.

(13) If adjustment is necessary, loosen the screw on the band clamp which holds the two
potentiometers together.

(14) Rotate the monitor potentiometer until the voltmeter reading is equal to the target reading ± 0.1
vdc.

(15) Tighten the band clamp screw securing the potentiometers.

(16) Recheck the adjusted voltages to ensure that the potentiometers did not move during the
tightening procedure.

(17) Connect the voltmeter between test points 17 and 33 of the breakout unit.

(18) Working in the nose gear wheel well, adjust this potentiometer assembly until the target voltage is
established and tighten the clamping screws.

Page 104
Nov 1/09 32-51-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(19) Connect the voltmeter between test points 4 and 35.

(20) If adjustment is necessary, loosen the band clamp screw and adjust the monitor potentiometer to
the target voltage.

(21) Tighten the band clamp screw and recheck the voltages.

(22) Should the nose gear not be centered, the center adjusting potentiometer on the amplifier may be
adjusted to effect proper centering of the nose gear; however, be certain to note the number and
direction of turns, as an equal adjustment must be made to the monitor adjusting potentiometer on
the amplifier for proper balancing of the monitoring circuitry.

(23) Operate the nose gear in the park mode and check for proper nose gear travel limits; the nose
gear should travel smoothly and freely between the red travel limit marks on the nose gear strut.

NOTE: Should the rudder pedals be moved slowly, some incremental movement of the nose gear
may be noticed; however, this is a normal characteristic of the system.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROCEDURES
WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the aircraft from jacks.

A. System Servicing (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Since the power steering system is a continuous flow system using the landing gear power pack
reservoir for the fluid source, servicing the system consists of maintaining the correct fluid level in the
landing gear hydraulic system as instructed in 32-30-00.

B. System Filter Replacement (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Replace the system filter every 100 hours for the first 300 hours of service, then every 600 hours. The
filter is located on the LH keel of the nose gear wheel well.

C. Hydraulic Fittings Installation (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


Anytime a fitting is loosened or removed, discard the packing and install the fitting with a new packing.
To prevent damage to the packing, coat the packing and the threads of the fitting with hydraulic fluid
(39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) before installing the packing on the fitting. Some fittings in the steering
system employ both an packing and a ring. When this type of fitting is loosened or removed, both the
packing and the ring must be replaced when the fitting is installed (Ref. Figure 201).

2. POWER STEERING ACTUATOR

A. Maintenance Checks (UA-1 and After; UB-1 and After)


(1) Turn power steering system OFF.

(2) Disconnect plug P490 from the low pressure switch located in the nose wheel well.

(3) Apply 28 vdc at P490 pin B to engage the pump and arm the actuator.

(4) Observe that the MAN STEER FAIL annunciator is illuminated. If not, and the continuity of the
system can be verified, replace the actuator.

(5) Remove the 28 vdc applied to P490 pin B.

(6) Disconnect the arming valve plug P491.

(7) “Cold soak” the arming valve using best shop practices.

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).
The power steering system has three modes: TAXI, PARK and caster. The TAXI mode provides ± 15°
steering and PARK mode provides ± 55° steering. Both are selected by the TAXI/PARK switch on the
pedestal. The caster mode is in effect when the system is OFF. Power lever disconnect switches and an
activate switch control when the two steering modes are operable.

Three annunciators report system status:


• PWR STEER ENGA - system is activated and ready.
• PWR STEER FAIL - system electrical failure or low hydraulic pressure.
• MAN STEER FAIL - system actuator has not returned to caster mode.
A 3000 psig hydraulic pump and motor assembly located in the nose wheel well supplies hydraulic pressure
and receives hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic reservoir mounted on the RH pressure bulkhead. Power for the
pump motor is supplied through the power steering motor relay and 30 ampere circuit breaker, which is
located in the LH nacelle on the electrical power distribution panel. A pressure switch and filter are located in
the nose wheel well. The pressure switch detects low pressure and signals the power steering relay PCB.
The filter protects the hydraulic fluid from contamination.
Two command potentiometers, mounted on the pilot's rudder pedal assembly, transmit the pilot's steering
input to the power steering amplifier, located under the copilots seat. The amplifier and power steering relay
PCB control the actuator. The amplifier compares potentiometer inputs and directs actuator movements. The
power steering relay PCB contains relay logic to activate the system with respect to power lever positions,
landing gear positions and signals the annunciator fault detect PCB.
The power steering actuator twists the nose gear strut right or left with respect to rudder pedal movement.
The actuator consists of two pistons, a selector valve, servo valve, arming valve, response restrictors, and a
feedback potentiometer. The selector valve allows hydraulic fluid to move the pistons or isolates the pistons.
The servo valve directs hydraulic fluid pressure to each piston as required for nose wheel movement. The
actuator arming valve prevents the entry of the pressure fluid into the actuator until it is energized. The
response restrictors dampen the actuator movement. The feedback potentiometer provides voltage feedback
to the power steering amplifier which is recognized as nose wheel strut movement (Ref. Figure 103, POWER
STEERING - TROUBLESHOOTING).

A. Power Steering Amplifier (UC-1 and After)


The power steering amplifier contains fault diagnostic circuits to aid in isolating system faults. The fault
diagnostic codes are shown in the POWER STEERING - TROUBLESHOOTING section of this chapter
(Ref. Figure 102).
Command, feedback and logic circuits control the actuator and report status to the relay PCB. Inputs
from the command and feedback circuits are compared and as a result the actuator valves are
positioned to move the nose gear right or left. When an imbalance of approximately 10° TAXI mode is
sensed between the feedback potentiometer circuit and the command potentiometer circuit, the
amplifier will interrupt the relay PCB logic, and the system will be deactivated.
An adjustable potentiometer, placarded center on the power steering amplifier, is used for centering the
nose gear.

(c) Turn on and engage power steering.

(d) With the system operating in park mode, check that the nose strut can travel smoothly to 55
± 5° left and right from neutral or centered position. If travel is jerky or the rate varies
appreciably through the range of travel, check all joints for binding and proper lubrication
before proceeding.

(e) Starting from a nose strut position of 45° right, abruptly swing the rudder pedals to full nose
left position and record the time required for the nose strut to travel through 45° left position
to the nearest ± 0.2 second. Repeat this procedure from left to right. The times shall be
between 5.0 and 6.0 seconds at a fluid temperature of 80° to 90°F. Times outside this range
indicate the servo valve may have been contaminated or damaged during installation.

NOTE: Times below this range due to prolonged system operation or high fluid
temperatures and times above this range due to low fluid temperatures are normal
and acceptable as long as the system operation is smooth and the rate of nose
wheel travel to the left is approximately the same as to the right.

LANDING GEAR
LANDING GEAR POSITION AND WARNING
32-60-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
WARNING: When an airplane has experienced abnormal landing gear procedures of any type, as a
safety precaution, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any inspection or
maintenance. Ensure that all three landing gears are down and locked prior to removing
the airplane from jacks.
When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the airplane from jacks.
Any time maintenance is to be performed on the landing gear system, place the airplane
on jacks.
When jacking the airplane in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 kts will be
encountered, never jack more than one gear at a time clear of the ground.
Any time the landing gear is only partially retracted during maintenance, always cycle the
gear with the power pack through at least one complete cycle before removing the
airplane from the jacks.
For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker panel that LANDING GEAR
MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during maintenance on the landing gear.
The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the down-and-locked
position while the airplane is on the ground.
It is recommended that the area be roped off during extension or retraction of the landing
gear.
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection, servicing or
maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed building or hangar. In the interest of
safety, should it become necessary to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction
and terrain variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid or if the landing gear
system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic
hand pump or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging (Ref. Chapter 91-00-00).
Visual indication of the landing gear position is provided by two red in-transit lights located in the landing gear
control switch handle and a green GEAR DOWN indicator light assembly, labeled NOSE - L - R, located
adjacent to the landing gear control switch on the pilot's inboard subpanel (Ref. Figure 1). Illumination of the
red in-transit lights indicates when the landing gear is in transit; gear-up is indicated when they go out.

Page 1
32-60-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Illumination of the green GEAR DOWN light indicates when the landing gear is down and locked. The red
control handle lights can be checked by pressing the HDL LT TEST push-button switch located to the right of
the landing gear control switch. To check the GEAR DOWN lights press the light assembly case.
Power for the in-transit and GEAR DOWN lights is drawn from a 5 ampere LANDING GEAR - IND circuit
breaker located on the RH circuit breaker panel. A circuit to the in-transit lights is completed through the
downlock and up-position switches of each landing gear and through the automatic light dimming circuit. A
circuit to the GEAR DOWN lights is completed through the downlock and actuator downlock switches of each
landing gear. An up-position switch is located in the upper part of each wheel well. When the landing gear is
in the fully retracted position, each landing gear strut actuates its respective up-position switch to open the
circuit to the in-transit lights. The in-transit lights will remain illuminated until all three landing gears are fully
retracted. As soon as the landing gear moves from the fully retracted position, each landing gear strut
actuates its respective up-position switch to illuminate the in-transit lights. The in-transit lights go out when
the drag brace of each landing gear actuates its respective downlock switch to open the circuit to the in-transit
lights and to complete the circuit to the actuator downlock switch. In this position the internal locking
mechanism of the landing gear actuator will actuate the actuator downlock switch mounted in the actuator to
illuminate its respective GEAR DOWN light.
A landing gear warning system is provided to warn the pilot that the landing gear is not down and locked
during specific flight regimes. Various warning modes result, depending upon the position of the flaps. With
the flaps in the UP, TAKE OFF or APPROACH position and either or both power levers retarded below 84%
to 86% N1, the warning horn will sound intermittently and the landing gear control switch handle lights will
illuminate. The horn can be silenced by pressing the WARN HORN SILENCE button adjacent to the landing
gear switch handle; the lights in the landing gear control switch handle cannot be cancelled. The landing gear
warning system will be rearmed if the power lever(s) are advanced sufficiently. With the flaps beyond the
APPROACH position, the warning horn and landing gear control switch handle lights will be activated
regardless of the power settings, and neither can be cancelled.
To prevent accidental gear retraction on the ground, the safety switch on the right main strut breaks the
control circuit whenever the strut is compressed.
CAUTION: Never rely on the safety switch to keep the gear down while taxiing or on landing or take-off roll.
Always check the position of the landing gear control switch handle.
The safety switch also actuates a solenoid-operated downlock hook, which prevents the landing gear handle
from being raised when the airplane is on the ground. The hook automatically unlocks when the airplane
leaves the ground, but it can be manually overridden by pressing down on the red button placarded DN LCK
REL. The right safety switch will ground the in-transit light relay to illuminate the in-transit lights anytime the
landing gear control handle is moved to the UP position while the airplane is on the ground with the shock
strut compressed.

circuit on pins “T” and “U” or the test box red lights illuminate.

(16) Tighten the retaining nut (8) on the shaft and tighten the lock screw (10) ensuring that the
ohmmeter still indicates a closed circuit or the test box red lights are still illuminated.

NOTE: The point at which the switch is actuated during compression and extension of the shock
strut differs from the tolerances in the switch and its attendant linkage on the landing gear.

(17) Check the safety switch rigging as follows:

(a) Fully compress the shock strut.

(b) Allow the shock strut to extend from the fully compressed position, ensure the green test
lights are illuminated or the ohmmeter continues to indicate an open circuit until the shock
strut reaches a position 0.38 to 2.0 inches from the fully extended position. At this point, the

Page 202
Nov 1/09 32-60-05
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

red test lights illuminate or the ohmmeter will indicate a closed circuit up to and including the
fully extended position.

(c) From fully extended compress the strut. The red lights of the test box will extinguish and the
green lights will illuminate or the ohmmeter indication will change from a closed circuit to an
open circuit when the shock strut reaches a position 0.38 to 2 inches from the fully extended
position. The green test lights will remain illuminated or the ohmmeter will continue to
indicate an open circuit as the shock strut is fully compressed.

(b) Clearance can be increased a small amount by adjusting the rod end. The actuator rod (3)
must be threaded into the rod end 0.38 to 0.50 inch. Verify the actuator rod covers the
inspection hole in the rod end.

(5) Press the strut air valve and completely deflate the strut. Remove valve core and attach a 1/4 inch
I.D. hose to the air valve and connect a container to the other end to contain any possible fluid
spillage.

(6) Remove the cotter pin, nut (6), washer (5) and bolt (4) to disconnect the actuator rod (3)
(Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: Use a gear-type puller (obtain locally) to remove the switch arm (9) from the switch shaft
to prevent damage to the internal mechanism of the switch. Do Not Pry Off With
Screwdrivers.

(7) Remove the retaining nut (8) and the switch arm (9) from the switch shaft.

(8) Disconnect the switch wiring from the airplane wiring and connect the test box (30, Table 7,
Chapter 91-00-00) to the switch wiring or connect the wire leads from an ohmmeter to pins “T” and
“U” of the receptacle plug located in the upper rear of each wheel well.

(9) With the shock strut fully extended, using a suitable marker, mark the shock strut piston at 0.38,
0.62 and 2.0 inches from the bottom of the brace assembly.

(10) Position a jack under the landing gear. Jack the landing gear so the shock strut is compressed to
0.38 to 0.62 inch from the fully extended position.

(11) Rotate switch shaft counterclockwise until the ohmmeter indicates a closed circuit or the test box
red lights illuminate then continue rotating counterclockwise until the ohmmeter indicates an open
circuit or the test box green lights illuminate.

(12) Install the switch arm (9) on the switch shaft. Tighten retaining nut (8) on shaft to engage splines
then back off the nut (Ref. Figure 201).

(13) Install bolt (4), washer (5), nut (6) and cotter pin to connect the actuator rod (3) to the upper torque

(15) Using an allen wrench, adjust the gear lever counterclockwise until the ohmmeter indicates a
closed circuit or the test box red lights illuminate then continue rotating counterclockwise until the
ohmmeter indicates an open circuit or the test box red lights extinguish.

(16) Using an allen wrench, adjust the hex head adjusting screw (13) clockwise in the switch arm (9)
until the ohmmeter indicates a closed circuit on pins “T” and “U” or the test box red lights
illuminate.

(17) Tighten the locking nuts (12) on the switch arm (9) ensuring that the switch still indicates closed.
Do not apply more than 20 to 25 inch pounds torque when tightening the lock nuts.

NOTE: The point at which the switch is actuated during compression and extension of the shock
strut differs from the tolerances in the switch and its attendant linkage on the landing gear.

(18) Check the safety switch rigging as follows:

(a) Fully compress the shock strut.

(b) Allow the shock strut to extend from the fully compressed position, ensure the green test
lights are illuminated or the ohmmeter continues to indicate an open circuit until the shock
strut reaches a position 0.38 to 2.0 inches from the fully extended position. At this point, the
red test lights illuminate or the ohmmeter will indicate a closed circuit up to and including the
fully extended position.

(c) From fully extended compress the strut. The red lights of the test box will extinguish and the
green lights will illuminate or the ohmmeter indication will change from a closed circuit to an
open circuit when the shock strut reaches a position 0.38 to 2 inches from the fully extended
position. The green test lights will remain illuminated or the ohmmeter will continue to
indicate an open circuit as the shock strut is fully compressed.

WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the landing gear
emergency-extend hand pump handle is in the stowed position, the plunger on
the service valve is pushed down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing
gear control handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 ± 50 psi.

(19) For fine adjustment, use the hex head adjusting screw (13) on the switch arm (9).

NOTE: Ensure that the retaining nut (8) on the switch shaft is tight after each adjustment.

(20) Safety wire the locking nuts (12) on the switch arm (9).

(21) Connect the switch wiring to the airplane by connecting the receptacle plug located in the upper
rear of each wheel well.

(22) Perform the MAIN LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER SERVICING procedure (Ref. 32-10-00).

(23) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

1. LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN


WARNING: When performing maintenance on a hydraulically operated landing gear system, be
aware that any movement of a hydraulic actuator cylinder can displace hydraulic fluid
and cause unanticipated movement of other actuator cylinders in the landing gear
retraction system. Servicing of the landing gear hydraulic accumulator can also result in
unanticipated movement of an actuator. Either action can result in an unsafe, unlocked
landing gear system. Therefore, place the airplane on jacks prior to performing any
inspection or maintenance. Cycle the landing gear and ensure that all three landing gears
are down and locked prior to removing the aircraft from jacks.

A. Check
WARNING: Do not adjust the landing gear warning horn switches using this procedure. Perform
the LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN ADJUSTMENT procedure in this section.

(1) Perform the THREE POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedure


(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.

(2) Perform APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(3) Move the Engine Power levers fully forward.

(4) Raise the landing gear electrically.

(5) Verify that flaps are in the full UP position.

(6) Retard one power lever until the warning horn sounds. The warning lights in the landing gear
control handle should activate along with the horn. Advance the lever to silence the horn and to
extinguish the warning lights.

(7) Retard the opposite power lever until the warning horn sounds. The warning lights in the landing
gear control handle should activate along with the horn. Advance the lever to silence the horn and
to extinguish the warning lights.

(8) Retard both power levers together until the warning horn sounds. Use the silence button next to
the gear selector to silence the horn, then advance the levers back to full power.

(9) Lower the flaps to the TAKEOFF and then to the APPROACH position. The warning horn will
sound and the warning lights will activate when the flaps are lowered to these positions. Use the
silence button to silence the horn for these flap positions.

(10) Lower the flaps beyond the APPROACH position. The warning horn will activate and will continue
to sound at any power lever position.

(11) Attempt to silence the horn by using the silence button next to the gear selector. The horn shall
continue to sound. Raise flaps to 0° UP and push the warning horn silence button.

(12) Lower the landing gear electrically and make sure all three landing gear are down and locked.

32-60-06 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(13) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedure
(Ref. Chapter 07-10-00).

(14) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

B. Adjustment
A cam-operated switch is connected to each power lever linkage in the pedestal. The switches are
wired so that moving either or both levers beyond the safe flight setting with the gear retracted will
sound the warning horn intermittently. The airplane must be in flight when determining the position of
the power levers, which correspond to 84% to 86% N1 (gas generator speed), as the ram air effect will
alter the 84% to 86% N1 position indicated during ground operation (Ref. Figure 201).

(1) With the airplane in flight, advance the power levers until 84% to 86% N1 is attained on each
engine.

(2) Mark the position of the power levers on the pedestal with a piece of tape. Land the airplane.

(3) Remove the lower upholstery panels from both sides of the pedestal.

(4) Place the power levers in alignment with the tape on the pedestal.

(5) Adjust the landing gear warning horn switches by moving them in their slotted mounting brackets
to just actuate in this position.

(6) Move the power levers and listen for an audible “click” when the power levers are moved aft of the
tape.

(7) Remove the tape and install the pedestal upholstery.

(8) Flight test the airplane with the landing gear retracted and the power levers retarded until the
warning horn sounds at an N1 speed of 84% to 86%.

1. GENERAL
Flight compartment lighting consists of annunciator panel lights, electroluminescent panels, indicator lights,
map lights, an overhead light, lights installed in the landing gear control handle and lights in the fire
extinguisher pull handle.
Passenger compartment lighting consists of overhead fluorescent lights, reading lights, airstair door lights,
entry way lights and spar cover lights.
Lights located in the baggage and cargo compartments are controlled by switches located in the
compartments.
Visibility of the airplane exterior is improved by the use of strobe lights, rotating beacons, navigation lights,
and recognition lights. Landing lights and taxi lights illuminate the runway. The empennage logo lights
illuminate the identification numbers located on the vertical stabilizer.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The brightness of the electroluminescent panels, glareshield indirect instrument lights, engine instrument and
flight instrument direct lights, avionics panel lights and overhead lights is controlled by dimmer switches
located on the overhead light control panel. Power supplies for the electroluminescent panel dimmer circuits
and the engine instrument lights dimmer circuit are located on the cabin forward electrical equipment panel.
Refer to the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual, P/N 114-590021-11, for further
information on the power supply for the electroluminescent panels. Flight compartment lights can be
controlled by the master panel light switch located on the overhead light control panel. The indirect instrument
lights on the glareshield can be controlled by the emergency lights switch located on the overhead meter
panel.
Annunciator system circuitry includes fault detection cards, time delay printed circuit boards, an annunciator
control card, and circuit breakers. Refer to Chapter 39-20-00 for maintenance practices on these
components.

A. Annunciator System
The annunciator system consists of a warning annunciator panel located on the glareshield, a caution/
advisory panel located on the center subpanel, a press-to-test switch, pilot's and copilot's master
warning flasher lights, and pilot's and copilot's master caution flasher lights. The warning annunciator
lights are red, the caution lights are yellow, and the advisory lights are green. The press-to-test switch is
located adjacent to the warning annunciator panel. The master warning flashers and master caution
flashers are located on the glareshield. The master warning flashers are red and the master caution
flashers are yellow. Individual warning and caution lights incorporate wording to indicate which airplane
system is called to the operator's attention.
If an airplane system fault requires the immediate attention of the pilot, the master warning light (red) on
the glareshield will flash. The flashing warning light may be extinguished by pressing the face of the
light, resetting the circuit. However, the warning annunciator light will illuminate and remain illuminated if
the fault is not corrected or cannot be corrected. If an additional fault occurs, the appropriate
annunciator panel light will illuminate and the master warning light will again flash.
When an airplane system fault does not require the operator's immediate attention or action, the master
caution light (yellow) will flash and the appropriate light on the caution/advisory annunciator panel will
illuminate. The flashing master caution light may be extinguished by pressing the face of the light. An
additional fault will illuminate the caution/advisory light and the master caution light again.
The advisory annunciator lights (green) indicate that a system is operating under certain conditions. The
master warning and master caution flasher lights are not associated with the advisory system.
Generally, current necessary to illuminate the annunciator lights is taken from the appropriate system's
control circuits; however, on airplanes having the ANN PWR SOURCE annunciator light in the caution/
advisory panel, certain annunciator lights receive their current from the annunciator power source
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) (A141) (Ref. Figure 1).
The annunciator power source PCB precludes the possibility of losing power to an annunciator should a
fault develop within the control circuits of an affected system. Additionally, to further minimize the
possibility of losing power to an annunciator, the annunciator power source PCB provides power to the
associated annunciator lights from two separate sources: the triple fed bus and a generator bus.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The circuitry to each light being fed from the annunciator power source PCB is protected by a fuse in
each power source feeder. The fuses are mounted on the PCB and can be replaced by field service
personnel. Should any one of the PCB fuses open or a power failure occur on either one of the power
supplying buses, the yellow ANN PWR SOURCE annunciator light will be illuminated in the caution/
advisory panel. This is an announcement to the flight crew that an annunciator light being powered by
the annunciator power source PCB has experienced a partial or complete loss of power. The lights that
are powered by the annunciator power source PCB are as follows: R and L FUEL FEED, R and L FW
VALVE, R and L BK DI OVHT, R and L ENG ICE FAIL, HYD FLUID LOW, BATT CHARGE, MAN
STEER FAIL, PWR STEER FAIL, R and L ENVIR OFF, ANTI SKID FAIL, INVERTER, FWD CABIN
DOOR, AFT CABIN DOOR, R and L OIL PRESS, CABIN ALT, R and L ENVIR FAIL, and ANN PWR
SOURCE.
The annunciator panel lights function in a “bright” or a “dim” mode. The system functions in the “dim”
mode automatically when all of the following conditions exist: a generator is on the line; the overhead
flood light is OFF; the pilot's instrument lights are ON; and the ambient light sensor senses light below a
preset value. Unless all these conditions exist, the annunciator panel lights will function in the “bright”
mode. The ambient light sensor is located on the overhead light control panel.

5. EDGELIGHTED PANEL ASSEMBLIES


The edgelighted panel assemblies consist of an outer plastic panel and a printed circuit board to which wheat
lights are soldered. These panel assemblies are mounted strategically throughout the crew compartment to
identify the function and mode of the various switches and systems. The inscriptions on the outer,
counterbored, plastic panel of the edgelighted assemblies are illuminated of wheat light lamps soldered in
parallel to a printed circuit board and powered by 28 vdc.
Due to the fact that edgelighted panels can be damaged by inappropriate maintenance practices and
contamination, usually moisture resulting from spills or storm windows left open in moist environments, they
should be functionally checked during each routine checking of all lights.

A. Replacement
(1) Disconnect the airplane power.

(2) Remove any knobs that may interfere with the removal of the panel assemblies.

NOTE: Exercise care not to scratch or damage the panel assemblies.

(3) Remove the attaching screws and lift the edgelighted panel away from the structure (Ref. Figure
203).

(4) Position the new edgelighted panel in place and install it with the attaching screws. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

6. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)

A. Repair Procedure
Because of the bonded type construction of the board, repair of the PCB assembly is limited to
replacement of the wheat light lamps. The following Steps should be observed when replacement of a
lamp (or lamps) becomes necessary.

(1) Utilizing a low wattage soldering iron, heat the solder holding each of the lamp leads to the PCB.
As the solder begins to soften, lift the lead away from its mounting pad.

CAUTION: The lamp mounting pads and leads may lift away from the board if excessive heat is
applied to the solder attaching the lamp leads to the mounting pads. If this occurs, the
PCB must be replaced.

(2) Solder the new wheat light lamp to the appropriate pads on the PCB. Do not apply excessive
solder to the assembly, and ensure that each connection has a good fillet between the pad and the
lead. The contour of each lamp lead should be visible in the solder.

(3) After completing repairs, check that all lamps match the counterbores in the outer plastic panel.

(4) Connect a regulated 28 vdc power source to the PCB and verify that all lamps illuminate. When
normal panel function is attained, the panel must be cleaned and a conformal coating applied
before final assembly (Ref. PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CLEANING and PRINTED CIRCUIT
BOARD - CONFORMAL COATING).

B. Cleaning
(1) Immerse the entire PCB in a container of isopropyl alcohol (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

NOTE: The PCB may be lightly scrubbed with a soft bristled brush as necessary to remove
stubborn contaminants.

(2) Assure that all traces of flux and other contaminants are washed away.

(3) Remove the PCB from the container and rinse it by pouring clean isopropyl alcohol over the panel
assembly.

NOTE: After cleaning, care must be exercised to protect from the environment. All traces of oil,
moisture or any other contaminants must be kept away from the PCB. Clean, lint-free,
white gloves or clean rubber gloves must be worn at all times during and after the cleaning
of a PCB assembly.

(4) Immediately after rinsing, place the assembly in a vertical position (to draw off any residual
moisture) and allow to dry.

C. Conformal Coating
(1) As soon as possible after the PCB is fully dry, the conformal coating should be applied. The
coating must completely cover the side of the PCB on which the light lamps are installed.

Page 210
Nov 1/09 33-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends coating (108 or 109, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) thinned 25% with solvent (110, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). CE1155 is a two
part product and should be mixed in a ratio of 10 parts of component A to 7 parts
component B by weight. CE1155 is the preferred coating agent; however, any coating that
conforms to MIL-I-46058 may be used.

(2) The coating may be applied by dipping, brush or spray. Whichever coating method is used, care
must be taken to avoid getting any coating in the area of the electrical connector. After application,
the coating must be cured as recommended in the manufacturer's instructions.

(3) Inspect the coating for complete coverage, fisheyes, bubbles, dry spots, peeling, blisters, wrinkles,
and cracks. If any coating defects are found, the panel must be cleaned and have the conformal
coating applied.

(4) When the conformal coating has been satisfactorily applied and cured, the edgelighted panel may
be assembled and installed. Replace any knobs that were removed and connect the airplane
power.

7. EXTINGUISHER PUSH/FIREWALL VALVE SWITCH

A. Lamp Replacement
CAUTION: Failure to disconnect the battery from the “hot” battery bus before lamp replacement may
result in accidental discharge of the engine fire extinguishers or closing of the firewall
valves.

(1) Remove all electrical power from the airplane and disconnect the airplane battery.

(2) Remove the copper safety wire from the clear plastic guard. Flip the clear plastic guard up, grasp
the finger grips on the sides of the legend face, and pull outward (Ref. Figure 205).

(3) While fully extended, rotate the legend face a 1/4 turn in either direction.

(4) Push in on the legend face to release the lamp holder tabs from their slots.

1. GENERAL

A. Strobe Light System


Strobe lights installed on the aft end of the vertical stabilizer and on the wing tips increase visibility of the
airplane during night flight. A toggle switch located on the LH inboard subpanel controls the strobe light
system. The toggle switch incorporates a 5-amp circuit breaker. The wing strobe lights power supply
units are installed adjacent to the strobe lights. The vertical stabilizer strobe light power supply is
installed on a bulkhead located forward of the stabilizer strobe light. Transistorized circuitry in the power
supply units steps up 28-vdc airplane power, producing between 400 and 600 volts. The stepped-up
voltage is stored in two capacitors until a timer releases the voltage to the strobe light assembly. The
high voltage stored in the capacitor then surges through the gas in the flashtube to produce a brilliant
burst of light.

B. Recognition Lights
The recognition lights are installed in each wing tip, forward of the strobe lights. The lights are aimed
forward and outboard of the airplane. The recognition lights are controlled by a toggle switch located on
the pilot's inboard subpanel. The switch incorporates a 7.5-amp circuit breaker.

C. Navigation Lights
Navigation lights are installed in each wing tip and on the aft end of the vertical stabilizer fairing. The
lights are controlled by a toggle switch located on the pilot's inboard subpanel. The toggle switch
incorporates a 5-amp circuit breaker.

D. Taxi Light
The taxi light is installed on the nose landing gear strut and illuminates the runway when the landing
gear is extended. A toggle switch incorporating a 15-amp circuit breaker is located on the pilot's inboard
subpanel and controls the taxi light. If the taxi light control switch is in the ON position when the landing
gear is retracted, an advisory panel light will illuminate.

E. Landing Lights
Landing lights are installed in the leading edge of each wing and are controlled by LH and RH toggle
switches. The switches are located on the pilot's inboard subpanel and incorporate circuit breakers.

F. Wing Ice Lights


Wing ice lights aid the pilot in detecting the formation of ice on the wing leading edge. The lights are
installed on the outboard side of each engine nacelle and are controlled by a toggle switch located on
the pilot's inboard subpanel. The switch incorporates a 5-amp circuit breaker.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Strobe Light System


The following procedures are recommended when a strobe light flashtube fails to illuminate:

(1) Ensure that the flashtube is not broken and that the electrical connectors are installed securely.

WARNING: Although a bleed-off resistor is incorporated in the power supply circuit, high
voltage is involved in the circuit between the power supply and light
assemblies. For this reason, turn the control switch for the strobe lights off and
wait at least ten minutes before disconnecting the cables at the power supply
and before handling or disassembling these units in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in physical injury or shock.

(2) Disconnect the power cable from the inoperative light. Connect the power cable to a light known to
be good. If the flashtube of the good light fails to illuminate, the strobe light circuit breaker has
tripped or the power supply unit has failed.

CAUTION: Never connect the wiring of a good power supply to the circuit of an inoperative light,
because a short in the defective light would damage the power supply.
The most likely reasons for malfunctions of this system are: (1) shorts in the power supply unit or
the lamp assembly, (2) shorts caused by contact of the power supply unit with a foreign object
during operation, (3) moisture in the connectors and (4) excessive heat within the power supply
unit.

1. GENERAL
Airstair door and emergency door exit signs are manufactured with T-lights. These lights are sealed glass
tubes filled with tritium gas and are phosphor-coated internally. In principle, T-lights produce light much the
same way as television tubes or luminous watch dials; no exposure to daylight is necessary. T-lights have a
useful life of many years; however, FAA regulations require a minimum operational brightness of 100
microlamberts. Periodic brightness checks must be conducted to insure that the brightness level remains at
or above 100 microlamberts. Refer to Chapter 4-00-00 for inspection interval information.

4. SELF-ILLUMINATED EXIT SIGN


The equipment used in this check consists of DB-45-B1 T-light Comparator (Ref. Figure 203). This equipment
is available from Self-Powered Lighting Inc., 8 Westchester Plaza, Elmsford, New York 10523.
Self-illuminated exit signs can be inspected on the airplane under all types of lighting conditions without the
need for removing the sign. Checking for brightness requires the use of a T-light Comparator. The test is
performed as follows:

A. Brightness Check
(1) Place the comparator base plate flat on the surface of the sign and move it gently until the viewing
aperture is over the portion of the sign to be inspected.

(2) Compare the brightness of the sign portion seen through the aperture and the calibrated source; if
the sign is as bright or brighter than the calibrated source, the sign brightness is equivalent to, or
better than, the 100 microlamberts required. If the sign brightness is less than that of the
comparator, the sign must be replaced.

(3) Move the comparator over all the illuminated portions of the sign to check minimum brightness at
all points.

(4) If the sign at any point appears less bright than the comparator, the sign is due for replacement.

A. JAR-OPS Emergency Exit Lighting System (Optional on UC-1 and After, and
with kit 114-5313-3 Installed)
NOTE: This equipment is installed on airplanes operating in accordance with Joint Aviation
Requirements (JAR-OPS 1). It is installed by Kit No. 114-5313-3.
The emergency exit lighting system is a self-activating self-contained lighting system designed to
provide emergency lighting to the interior areas around the cabin door and three emergency exits
(Ref. Figure 1). Three lighting modules are located in the headliner of the cabin: one opposite the cabin
door, one opposite the right forward emergency exit, and one between the left and right emergency
exits.
Each module is equipped with two light sources. A dim light source, which is illuminated during normal
operations is powered by the 28 volt aircraft battery through a 5 amp circuit breaker on the right-hand
circuit breaker panel. The other, brighter light source is powered by four internal alkaline batteries and is
controlled by two switches (Ref. Figure 2). One is an internal “g” switch which activates upon sensing
rapid deceleration in the forward direction. The other is an external three-position rocker switch
(spring-loaded to the center position) placarded ON-TEST-/OFF-RESET. The light illuminates when the
switch is momentarily placed in the ON-TEST position. The light extinguishes when the switch is
momentarily placed in the OFF-RESET position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL

A. Pitot And Static Pressure System


The pitot and static pressure system provides a source of impact air pressure and static air for operation
of the instruments (Ref. Figure 1). The pitot portion of the system utilizes the pitot/static masts, located
on each side of the upper fuselage nose (Ref. Figure 2). The impact air pressure entering the masts is
transmitted through separate tubing to the dual airspeed indicators mounted on the instrument panel.
Since the pitot/static mast is the lowest point in each line from the instrument panel, the resultant natural
drainage eliminates the need for drain valves. Two circuit breaker switches on the left subpanel control
the heating elements that prevent the openings in the pitot/static masts from becoming clogged with ice
which would cause the indicators to register erroneous readings.
The static portion of the system includes the pitot/static masts, located on each side of the upper
fuselage nose (Ref. Figure 2). Static air is routed through separate tubing to the pilot and copilot vertical
speed indicator, altimeter, and airspeed indicator on the instrument panel. Copilot static air is also
routed to pneumatic pressure, and cabin differential pressure gage on the subpanel. The need for drain
valves is eliminated since the pitot/static mast is the lowest point in each line from the instrument panel.
Should abnormal or erratic instrument readings indicate that the normal static source is restricted, an
alternate static air source is provided. Alternate air static buttons are located on each side of the lower
fuselage at FS 120.00. Alternate static air is routed from these static buttons through tubing to the pilot
and copilot alternate static air selector valves. The alternate static air selector valve for the pilot is
located on the LH side of the instrument panel, below and to the left of the airspeed indicator. The
copilot's alternate static air selector valve is located on the RH side of the instrument panel, just to the
right of the vertical speed indicator. When the alternate air source is required, the toggle switch is
moved from the NORMAL to the ALTERNATE position on the pilot's or copilot's alternate static air
selector valve. The need for drain valves is eliminated since the alternate static buttons are located in
the lowest point in each line from the instrument panel.

B. Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Indicator


The outside air temperature indicator is installed in the left sidewall panel in the pilot's compartment.
The indicator dial is on the inside of the compartment with the stem of the instrument protruding through
the skin of the airplane to the outside air. The unit is hermetically sealed against dust and moisture. A
post light adjacent to the indicator face provides illumination for low light conditions and night time
operation.

1. PROCEDURES
The removal and installation procedure for the left and right masts are almost identical. Both are accessed
from outside of the airplane. Two index pins on the mast base plate engage with two index pin holes on the
mast mounting plate to ensure approximate pitot/static mast alignment.

2. PITOT/STATIC MAST

A. Removal
(1) Make sure the BATT switch is set to the OFF position and attach a red tag indicating “DO NOT
APPLY POWER”.

(2) Perform BATTERY DISCONNECTION procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-31-00).

(3) Remove the upper (6) and lower (7) half doors around the pitot/static mast (5), by removing the
door screws (10 and 11). Clean any residual sealant from doors (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).

CAUTION: When removing the pitot/static mast (5) be very careful not to dislodge the Wet Shim
(15) or the surface plate (14) from the surface of the mount assembly (8) (Ref. Figure
203, Sheet 2 of 2). If this happens, keep the pieces as intact as possible and contact
Hawker Beechcraft Technical Support at 800.429.5372 or 316.676.3140. Assistance
is available at any time.

(4) Remove four screws (12) from the base of the pitot/static mast (5). Without breaking the wet shim
(15) carefully pull the mast (5) and the gasket (13) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2) away from the
airplane just far enough to expose the hoses and electrical connector (4) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1
of 2, Detail D).

NOTE: On the right-hand pitot/static mast the aft most static line is the S2. On the left-hand pitot/
static mast the aft most static line is the S1.

(5) Disconnect the pitot pressure hose (1), the S2 and S1 static pressure hoses (2 and 3) and the
electrical connector (4) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).

(6) Remove the gasket (13) from the base of the pitot/static mast (5) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).

(7) Inspect gasket for pliability, cracks, tears or excess wear of any kind. Replace if necessary.

(8) Install protective covers on the pitot/static hoses (1, 2 and 3) and the electrical connector (4) also
cover the opening on the airplane fuselage (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).

(9) Install protective covers on the pitot/static mast (5), if it is to be put back on the airplane.

B. Installation
(1) Perform PITOT/STATIC MAST ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY TEST procedures in this chapter prior
to installation.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Remove the protective covers from airplane fuselage, pitot/static hoses (1, 2 and 3) and electrical
connector (4) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).

(3) Place the gasket (13) on the base of the pitot/static mast (5) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).

(4) Connect the airplane pitot/static hoses (1, 2 and 3) and electrical connector (4) to the pitot/static
mast (5) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).

(5) Install pitot/static mast (5) through the opening in the fuselage and secure with four screws (12)
(Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).

(6) Perform PITOT/STATIC MAST HEAT TEST procedure in this chapter.

NOTE: Allow sufficient time for the Pitot/Static Mast to cool before proceeding with Step (7).

(7) Temporarily install the upper (6) and lower (7) half doors. Use masking tape to mark a line where
the outside contour of the door halves meet with the pitot/static mast (5). Remove the door halves
and apply a bead of sealant (188, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the pitot/static mast (5) as shown
(Ref. Details B and C- C Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).

(8) Install upper (6) and lower (7) half doors, ensuring the sealant (188, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) on
the pitot/static mast does not protrude beyond the outside edge of the doors. Secure door halves
with door screws (10 and 11). Remove masking tape from pitot/static mast (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet
2 of 2).

(9) Remove the red tag from BATT switch and perform BATTERY CONNECTION procedure
(Ref. Chapter 24-31-00).

(10) Perform PITOT SYSTEM TEST and STATIC SYSTEM TEST procedures in this chapter.

C. Electrical Continuity Test


The purpose of this test is to ensure continuity of the heating element and to verify that no short exists in
the circuit.
NOTE: If any one of the following three Steps fail, DO NOT INSTALL this pitot/static mast (5) in the
airplane (Ref. Figure 203).

(1) With a suitable ohm meter check that continuity exists between pins A and B of the pitot/static
mast (5).

(2) Check from pin A to the case of the pitot static mast (5) to ensure that continuity DOES NOT exist.

(3) Check from pin B to the case of the pitot static mast (5) to ensure that continuity DOES NOT exist.

D. Heat Test
WARNING: Application of electrical power to the heating elements should not exceed ten
seconds at a time. To prevent possible burns do not directly touch the heated areas.
If testing cannot be completed within the ten seconds, allow the elements to cool
before continuing.
Ensure Pitot/Static Masts are not covered and are free of any foreign material that
may burn or melt due to the extreme heat.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 34-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(1) Apply ground power to the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

(2) Position pitot heat switches (left, right or both depending on mast being tested) to ON
(Ref. Figure 204).

(3) Verify that the corresponding left-hand or right-hand pitot/static mast surface gets hot
(Ref. Figure 201).

(4) Position the pitot/static heat switch or switches to OFF (Ref. Figure 204).

(5) Remove ground power from the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).

3. PITOT SYSTEM

A. Test
The purpose of these tests is to verify that no leaks exist in the entire system sufficient to induce a
significant error in the airspeed or altitude indications. Note that NO instrument may be disconnected or
any break made in the plumbing which would result in an untested point.

(1) Cap both the pitot/static masts with Pitot/Static Adapter (4, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00). The pitot/
static masts are located on the left and right upper side of fuselage nose. Do not cover the static
ports on the pitot/static masts while performing this test.

(2) Position the Pitot/Static Tester (3, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) in the pilot's compartment so the
operator can see the instruments.

(3) Connect a shop air source to the test equipment.

(4) Remove the dust cap from the pilot's pitot system test port and connect the hose from the test
equipment to the port. The pitot/static system test ports are located on the forward side of the
bulkhead at FS 84.00 on either the pilot's or copilot's side.

(5) Open the pilot's pitot test valve, close the coupler valve on the test box, then open the pressure
needle valve to slowly increase pressure in the pitot system until the airspeed indicator registers
90% of the maximum reading.

(6) Close the pressure valve to isolate the pitot system and observe the airspeed indicator. If the
system retains the pressure for a period of five minutes, there are no leaks in the pitot lines.

CAUTION: The pressure must be released SLOWLY to avoid damaging the airspeed indicator.

(7) Open the pressure bleed valve and slowly reduce the pressure to zero. If a leak in the system is
indicated, repair as necessary and repeat Steps (5) thru (7).

(8) With the system at ambient pressure and no leaks, turn off the test port valve, and slowly apply
pressure while observing the airspeed indicator. If the valves are properly closed and sealed there
will be no indication of airspeed increase.

(9) Disconnect the test hose from the pilot's test port and install the dust cap.

(10) Repeat Steps (4) thru (9) on the copilot's pitot system.

34-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4. STATIC SYSTEM

A. Test
Upon completion of the PITOT SYSTEM TEST, proceed with the following:

(1) Apply nonporous tape to the alternate static source buttons located on each side of the lower
fuselage at FS 120.00.

(2) Tape off the static ports on each pitot/static mast.

(3) Remove the dust caps and connect the hoses from the Pitot/Static tester (3, Table 7, Chapter
91-00-00) to the pilot's static and pitot system test ports, which are located on the forward side of
the bulkhead at FS 84.00 on the pilot's side.

(4) Open the coupler valve of the test equipment.

(5) Set the airplane altimeter to 29.92 inches Hg.

NOTE: Static air toggle switches for the pilot and copilot are located on the left and right sides of
the instrument panel and are placarded NORMAL and ALTERNATE.

(6) Separate tests should be performed on the pilot's static system, pilot's alternate air static system,
copilot's static system, and the copilot's alternate static system. While performing the pilot's and
copilot's static system test, the alternate static air valve must remain in the NORMAL position.
While performing the pilot's and copilot's alternate static system test, the alternate static air valve
must remain in the ALTERNATE position, but only on the side being tested.

(7) Slowly open the suction valve while observing the panel instruments for response. The coupler
valve can be adjusted to delay the pressure change in the pitot system, thus causing the airspeed
indicator to read upscale to near half scale.

(8) When the required altitude reading is attained, the pitot and static system pressures will become
equalized and the airspeed indicator will return to zero.

(9) Make a preliminary leak check at 1,000 feet above the airplane pressure altitude to determine any
loose connections.

CAUTION: Excessive leakage in the static system can cause the airspeed indicator to run
backwards, which will damage the indicator.

(10) Close the suction valve and observe the altimeter for 30 seconds. After verifying there are no
leaks, continue to increase altitude to the airplane altimeter reading indicated. (4.8 psi of vacuum)
(Ref. Figure 201).

(11) Close the suction valve and observe the airplane altimeter for one minute. The acceptable altitude
loss may be determined from the graph in Figure 201.

NOTE: The acceptable altitude loss over a one minute period is 2% of the difference between the
altimeter reading before and after application of 4.8 psi of vacuum to the static system.

(12) Reducing the altitude reading on the altimeter is a critical portion of the test. Use the pressure
bleed valve to allow ambient air to enter the system.

Page 204
Nov 1/09 34-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CAUTION: Never disconnect any hose or move the alternate static air selector until the altimeter
has returned to field elevation (ambient Pressure).

(13) Reduce the vacuum very slowly while monitoring the instruments to avoid damage.

(14) Repeat Steps (3) thru (13) on the pilot's alternate static system.

NOTE: In Step (6) the alternate air selector valve, on the side being tested, must be placed in the
ALTERNATE position (the other side must be in the NORMAL position) and remain there.

(15) Close the coupler valve.

(16) With the system at ambient pressure, close the test valves, and slowly apply suction to the static
system while observing the altimeter. A rise in the altimeter reading indicates a leaky valve. Very
slowly reduce the vacuum to ambient. Slowly apply a positive pressure to the pitot system test
valve and observe the airspeed indicator. A rise in the airspeed indicator indicates a leaky valve. If
the test valves are properly closed and sealed there will be no indication on the instrument panel.

(17) Repeat Steps (3) thru (15) on the copilot's system.

CAUTION: At the completion of this test the alternate air selector valve must be placed in the
NORMAL position for both the pilot's and copilot's system.

(18) Upon satisfactory completion of these tests, remove the test hoses from the test ports and install
the dust caps.

(19) Disconnect the shop air from the test equipment and remove the test equipment from the pilot's
compartment.

(20) Remove the tape from the alternate static source buttons, located on each side of the lower
fuselage at FS 120.00. Clean the static buttons.

(21) Remove the covers and tape from the pitot/static masts, located on the left and right side of the
fuselage nose.

(22) Be certain the alternate static air selector valves are in the NORMAL position.

5. PITOT SYSTEM HOSES

A. Inspecting
Inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration, particularly at bends and at the connection points to the
pitot/static mast and airspeed indicator. Hoses that are cracked or hardened should be replaced.
NOTE: Any time a hose is replaced, the PITOT SYSTEM TEST and STATIC SYSTEM TEST
procedures in this section must be accomplished.

6. PITOT HEADS

A. Inspecting
The pitot/static masts installed on the Model 1900 Series airplanes have a precision contour machined
on their head in order to accurately measure static pressure. The surface finish of a new contour is very
smooth, 32 micro inches or finer, and the color ranges from shiny metal to very dark.

Page 205
34-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Over time the high temperatures the probe heads reach, when the heater is used on the ground, will
darken the entire probe heads. This darkening is a natural oxide layer protecting the heads from
corrosion. In some cases over time, contaminates can break down this oxide layer, attack the base
metal and cause a gradual roughening of the contour surfaces.
CAUTION: No smoothing or repair to the roughened surface of the head on the probe should be
attempted. Attempts to repair the roughened contour cause damage to static port edges
and alter the contour. This damage will cause erroneous pressure reading.

(1) Inspect the critical area of the head, i.e. the area from the pitot tip to 1/2 inch aft of the S2 static
ports (the static port closest to the strut), for roughening. Replace the pitot/static mast when any of
the following conditions are found:

(a) Roughening in the critical area exceeds that of lightly sandblasted metal.

(b) Roughening in the critical area is generally non-uniform.

(c) Evidence of metal flaking in the critical area.

(d) Roughening and an indication of faulty static pressure measurement, such as altitude splits
between the pilot and copilot altimeters.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Calibration
Correction of the standby compass card for magnetic error is accomplished by removing the correction
card plate and adjusting the compensator with a brass or other non-magnetic screwdriver. Calibrate the
standby compass to a compass rose, or by use of a calibrated precision sight compass. Compass
calibration is performed under the following conditions.

(1) Start both engines.

(2) Turn all normal electrical and avionics equipment ON.

(3) Turn left and right generators ON.

(4) Verify windshield electric heat is OFF.

(5) Verify windshield wipers are OFF.

(6) Turn power steering OFF. (If Installed)

(7) Turn left and right pitot heat ON.

(8) Turn stall warning heat ON.

(9) Set the adjustment screws of the compensator on zero. Zero position of the adjustment screws is
obtained by lining up the dot on the compensator frame.

CAUTION: The N-S and E-W adjustment screws make approximately 3/4 turn and hit a stop. DO
NOT FORCE BEYOND THE STOPS. This can cause a misalignment of the magnets
and make the compass unable to be compensated.

(10) Align the aircraft to a magnetic NORTH heading. Adjust the N-S adjustment screw until the
compass reads exactly NORTH.

(11) Align the aircraft to a magnetic EAST heading. Adjust the E-W adjustment screw until the compass
reads exactly EAST.

(12) Align the aircraft to a magnetic SOUTH heading. Note the resulting SOUTH error. Adjust the N-S
adjustment screw until one half of this error is removed.

(13) Align the aircraft to a magnetic WEST heading. Note the resulting WEST error. Adjust the E-W
adjustment screw until one half of this error is removed.

(14) Align the aircraft in successive magnetic 30° headings and record all errors on the outer ring of the
deviation card of the compass. In each position the standby magnetic compass should read within
± 10° of the actual aircraft magnetic heading (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: Steps (10) thru (14) may be repeated as necessary to obtain an accuracy of ± 10° at each
30° heading.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
UA-1 and After are equipped with two identical King KI-229 radio magnetic indicators (Ref. Figure 1). UB-1
and After and UC-1 and After may be equipped with either two identical King KI-229 or two identical Collins
RMI-30 radio magnetic indicators, one on the pilot’s instrument panel and one on the copilot’s instrument
panel. The RMI is an internally lighted, panel-mounted, dual-needle indicator that displays the airplane
gyro-stabilized magnetic-heading information to either VOR or ADF stations. Each pointer is read against the
compass card with a fixed lubber (index) line. Each pointer operates independently and can be switched to
separate ADF or VOR receivers. A compass flag is used to show loss of power, compass invalid condition
and servo error.
The RMI’s derive their power from the airplane 28-VDC and 26-VAC electrical power systems. Each indicator
is protected by circuit breakers. The pilot’s and copilot’s circuit breakers are located in the right sidewall circuit
breaker panel.
With the RMI operational, the pilot has the option of displaying heading information from NAV System No. 1,
NAV System No. 2, or the ADF System. A choice of ADF or VOR heading information on the single needle is
made by placing the single needle pointer button on the front of the indicator in the ADF or VOR position and
selecting the desired input information on the RMI VOR/ADF remote switch next to the indicator. Compass
information is displayed by the servoed compass card. The pointers will be stored in a horizontal position with
VOR selected when the NAV signal is invalid, or when the selected NAV receiver is turned OFF.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The oxygen system is designed to provide an adequate flow of oxygen for an airplane pressure altitude of
25,000 feet.
The standard version of the airplane incorporates two oxygen cylinders with a capacity of 76.6 liters each,
mounted one on either side, under the floor of the nose baggage compartment (Ref. Figure 1). The oxygen
cylinders are equipped with pressure regulator/shutoff valves. The regulators are set to deliver oxygen at a
constant regulated pressure. Two cylinder pressure gages are mounted on the copilot's right subpanel. A
gage indicating pressure to the cabin masks is mounted at the right side of the forward pressure bulkhead
(Ref. Figure 3). The optional executive liner version of the airplane is equipped with a single 22 cubic-foot
oxygen cylinder which is mounted beneath the left nose baggage compartment floor. A cylinder-mounted
regulator provides a reduced constant output pressure to the four phase dilution type crew and auxiliary
masks. A cylinder pressure gage is mounted on the copilot's right subpanel.
Earlier airplanes and executive liner versions of the airplane equipped with the 22 cubic-foot oxygen system
provide two supplemental oxygen masks mounted in the ceiling aft of the forward cabin entrance door.
Access to the masks is achieved by manually opening the compartment cover and then removing the mask.
Oxygen flow to these masks is controlled by the removal and insertion of a lanyard pin located on the masks.
The oxygen system is manually activated by the pilot using push-pull cable controls. The control on the top
left side of the pilot's subpanel (OXYGEN PULL ON) actuates both oxygen cylinder valves to pressurize the
crew system and the plumbing up to the passenger system control valve (CABIN PULL ON). The passenger
control valve is located on the lower left side of the pilot's subpanel. To provide oxygen to the passenger
oxygen masks, both controls must be pulled on.
The oxygen system for the crew utilizes cylinder-mounted regulators of the constant flow type with a reduced
controlled output pressure. The regulator provides for a flow rate to the crew masks of 3.8 liters per minute.
The crew masks are located behind the overhead light control panel. Access to the crew masks is
accomplished by manually opening the mask compartment cover and removing the mask. Oxygen flow to
these masks is controlled by removing and inserting a lanyard pin on the mask.
The passenger oxygen system on the standard version of the airplane is equipped with an altitude
compensated, constant flow regulator mounted on the left side of the airplane just aft of the forward pressure
bulkhead. This regulator varies the flow rate to the oxygen masks from a minimum of 0.1 liters per minute per
mask at 1,000 feet to a maximum of 3.8 liters per minute per mask at 25,000 feet. The 19 passenger oxygen
masks are located on the outboard sidewalls of the airplane close to the elbow of a seated passenger.
When the CABIN OXYGEN control knob is pulled on, a surge valve momentarily allows high pressure to
reach the passenger mask container assemblies. The high pressure extends a plunger which allows the
dispenser door to open, allowing access to the oxygen mask. The surge valve then closes, reducing the high
pressure in the line. The high pressure upstream of the surge valve is released by the vented shutoff valve.
The altitude compensated regulator then controls pressure to the passenger oxygen masks. When the
CABIN OXYGEN control knob is pushed in (passenger oxygen turned OFF), the surge valve resets. In order
to allow oxygen flow from the mask, a lanyard valve pin must be pulled out. The pin must be inserted to stop
the flow of oxygen.

A. Crew Oxygen Masks and Smoke Goggles


(All Airplanes with Kit No. 118-5000 Installed)
The crew oxygen mask is a diluter/demand type with a mask vent valve (Ref. Figure 2). The vent valve
is used in conjunction with smoke protection goggles. The mask has a diluter/demand type regulator
and is equipped with a dynamic microphone. The crew oxygen mask are stowed in an overhead
container. To begin oxygen flow, place the regulator manual select switch to the desired operating
position. An oxygen flow indicator on the mask hose indicates CLEAR with proper flow and RED with no
flow. The manually operated push-pull vent valve is used in conjunction with the regulator
EMERGENCY pressure feature to divert a small flow of oxygen from the mask cavity into the smoke
goggle cavity to vent smoke or fumes which may be present in the smoke goggle cavity. The smoke
goggles are in a pouch stowed behind the crew members seats.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Oxygen Cylinder Positive Pressure Check


WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the airplane. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean, particularly
with respect to oil or grease, for these contaminants will ignite upon contact with
pure oxygen under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and close all
oxygen valves slowly.
The oxygen cylinders are located along both outboard sides of the nose wheel well (Ref. Figure 1, in the
Description and Operation section). Access is gained by removing the nose baggage compartment
floor.
NOTE: If the pressure gauge on an oxygen cylinder reads zero, there may still be positive pressure in
the cylinder. An oxygen system cylinder without any internal positive pressure, is empty. A
slight positive pressure, would not be considered empty. If a cylinder is empty it must be
removed, inspected and cleaned per SAE-ARP1176.

(1) Loosen the cabin low pressure line at the oxygen cylinder regulator.

(2) Disconnect the oxygen regulator control cable from the regulator.

(3) Slowly open the cylinder valve.

(4) If positive pressure is detected perform the following Steps:

(a) Close the cylinder valve.

(b) Connect the oxygen regulator control cable to the oxygen regulator.

(c) Tighten the cabin low pressure line at the oxygen cylinder regulator.

(d) Perform the OXYGEN SYSTEM SERVICING procedure.

(5) If positive pressure is not detected, remove the oxygen system cylinder for inspection by
performing the OXYGEN CYLINDER REMOVAL procedure in this section. Inspect and clean per
SAE-ARP1176.

B. Removal
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the oxygen cylinder. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean,
particularly with respect to oil or grease, for these contaminants will ignite upon
contact with pure oxygen under pressure.
The oxygen cylinders are located along both outboard sides of the nose wheel well (Ref. Figure 1, in the
Description and Operation section). Access is gained by removing the nose baggage compartment
floor.

(1) Make sure the OXYGEN control knob is pushed completely in (oxygen shut off).

Page 201

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Disconnect all lines and the control cable from the regulator.

(3) Immediately cap each open line with a clean fitting.

(4) Immediately cap each open line with a clean fitting.

NOTE: Observe the special handling precautions on the tag attached to the oxygen cylinder.

C. Installation
(1) Position the cylinder in the mounting brackets and install the bracket clamp wing nuts.

(2) Tighten and safety the wing nuts.

(3) Carefully inspect the fittings on both the cylinder and the line for cleanliness and the presence of
foreign matter, since such matter may contaminate the oxygen until it is unfit for breathing.

(4) Connect the oxygen lines to the regulator. Refer to OXYGEN SYSTEM PLUMBING
MAINTENANCE procedure in this section.

(5) Connect the OXYGEN control cable to the on off lever on the regulator.

(6) Test the connections for leaks. Refer to OXYGEN SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE procedure in this
section.

2. OXYGEN SYSTEM

A. Servicing
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the airplane. Make sure that the oxygen shutoff valve control (placarded OXYGEN
PULL ON) located on the subpanel to the left of the copilot's seat is in the OFF
position. Inspect the filler connection for cleanliness before attaching it to the filler
valve. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean, particularly of
grease or oil, for these contaminants will ignite upon contact with pure oxygen
under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and close all oxygen
valves slowly.
NOTE: Refer to Advisory Circular 43.13-1B for the additional servicing precautions recommended by
the FAA on the oxygen systems.
Determine Cause of oxygen system pressure loss, i.e. test, leak or crew write up due to
oxygen use. The system should be purged any time system bottle pressure drops to zero psi.
Refer to OXYGEN CYLINDER POSITIVE PRESSURE CHECK, and/or OXYGEN SYSTEM
PURGING instructions in this section.

(1) Access to the pressure gage and filler valve of the oxygen system is gained through an access
door located on the left side of the nose section below the nose baggage compartment.

WARNING: Ensure both the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment are
properly grounded before servicing the system.

(2) Ground the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment to a common ground in the ramp.

Page 202
Nov 1/09 35-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING: When filling the oxygen system, use only Aviator's Breathing Oxygen (28,
Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Do not use oxygen intended for medical purposes,
or industrial purposes such as welding. Such oxygen may contain excessive
moisture that could freeze in the valves and lines of the oxygen system.

(3) To recharge the oxygen system, remove the protective cap from the filler valve and attach the
hose from an oxygen recharging cart to the filler valve.

(4) To prevent overheating, fill the oxygen system slowly by adjusting the recharging rate with the
pressure regulating valve on the cart.

(5) At a temperature of 70°F the cylinders should be filled to 1,850 psi. This pressure may be
increased an additional 3.5 psi for each degree of increase in temperature. For each degree of
drop in temperature, reduce the pressure for the cylinders by 3.5 psi (Ref. Chapter 12-10-00,
Table 3).

(6) When the oxygen system is properly charged, disconnect the filler hose from the filler valve and
replace the protective cap on the filler valve.

(7) If at any time, in the process of servicing and purging the system or replacing the oxygen cylinder,
it becomes necessary to disconnect a fitting, refer to OXYGEN SYSTEM PLUMBING
MAINTENANCE in this section.

B. Purging
Offensive odors may be removed from the oxygen system by purging. The system should also be
purged any time the lines are left open. Purging is accomplished simply by connecting a recharging cart
into the system and permitting oxygen to flow through the lines and outlets until any offensive odors
have been carried away. The following Steps outline the procedures recommended for purging the
oxygen system.
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the airplane when the outlets are in use. Inspect the filler connection for cleanliness
before attaching it to the filler valve. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing
are clean, particularly of grease or oil stains, for these contaminants will ignite upon
contact with pure oxygen. As a further precaution against fire, open and close all
oxygen valves slowly during filling.
When filling the oxygen system, use only Aviator's Breathing Oxygen (28, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00).
Do not use oxygen intended for medical purposes, or such industrial uses as
welding. Such oxygen may contain excessive moisture that could freeze in the
valves and lines of the oxygen system.
Ensure both the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment are properly
grounded before servicing the system.

(1) Ground the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment to a common ground in the ramp.

(2) Open the access panel for the filler valve, remove the protective cap, and attach the hose from an
oxygen recharging cart to the filler valve.

(3) Open the cabin door, then activate the system by pulling out the OXYGEN and CABIN OXYGEN
control knobs.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: The packing in the control cable may be lubricated with lubricant (46, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) to reduce friction during operation of the cable.

(4) Activate the crew and passenger oxygen outlets by removing the lanyard pins. Activate the
auxiliary outlets by turning on the valve located inside the container assembly.

(5) Set the cart pressure regulator to deliver 200 psi of pressure to the system and turn the valve on
slowly.

(6) Allow the system to purge.

(7) If any offensive odors remain, continue to purge.

(8) If such odors still remain, replace the airplane’s oxygen cylinders.

(9) After the system has been adequately purged, return the cylinder valve to its normal operation
position and service the system.

C. Plumbing Maintenance
Apply antiseize tape (168, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to tapered threads of male fittings. Do not allow
the tape to enter the inside of the fitting. Do not apply to female fittings.
Apply a thin film of grease (169, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the straight threads of male fittings. Do
not apply to the first two threads. Do not apply to the female fittings. Do not allow grease to get inside
the fittings.
When the oxygen system plumbing has been connected after maintenance, the new connections
should be checked for leakage by applying leak detector fluid (47, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), to the
connections and pressurized. Wipe dry immediately after testing.
When connections leak, check that they are tightened to the proper torque value for that fitting. If this
does not stop the leakage, disassemble the connection and check all mating surfaces for damage.
Smooth rough mating surfaces if possible to provide a tight connection or install new fittings.

3. OXYGEN SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE

A. Oxygen System Low Pressure Test - Crew and Auxiliary Section


(Auxiliary masks not used in airplane serials UB-23 and After, and UC-1 and After)
The test equipment required to perform this test consists of: Supply Valve and Test Harness (5, Table 7,
Chapter 91-00-00) and Pressure Gauge (6, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) (Ref. Figure 201, Sheet 2 of 2).
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the oxygen cylinder. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean,
particularly with respect to oil or grease, for these contaminants will ignite upon
contact with pure oxygen under pressure.

(1) Be sure that the OXYGEN control cable is pushed in completely (oxygen shut off). Connect a
jumper hose and a test gage between the low pressure fitting on the regulator and the low
pressure line (Ref. Figure 201, Sheet 1 of 2). On the two bottle system, attach the jumper to the left

WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of
the oxygen cylinder. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean,
particularly with respect to oil or grease, for these contaminants will ignite upon
contact with pure oxygen under pressure.

(1) Be sure that the OXYGEN control cable is pushed in completely (oxygen shut off). Connect a
jumper hose and a test gage between the low pressure fitting on the regulator and the low
pressure line. On the two bottle system, attach the jumper to the left side bottle. Disconnect the
low pressure line which connects to the right side bottle and plug it. Cap the regulator assembly or
deactivate the control cable which connects to the shutoff valve lever.

(2) Disconnect the Altitude Compensator from the oxygen system by removing the left oxygen bottle
plumbing line and the cabin plumbing line from the compensator. Be certain that the RH bottle is
capped. Connect a jumper hose (7, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00) from the LH bottle plumbing to the
cabin plumbing and cap both fittings on the Altitude Compensator. Refer to Figure 202 for
installation and location of test equipment.

(3) Open the supply valve on the jumper hose and gage assembly.

(4) Pull the CABIN OXYGEN cable on.

(5) Pull the CABIN OXYGEN PULL ON control knob and allow pressure in the lines to stabilize.

NOTE: Oxygen pressure is required to open the oxygen inlet valve when the lanyard pin is pulled.
However, the relatively low oxygen pressure supplied by the altitude compensated
regulator at field elevations may not be adequate to initiate flow at all masks. Masks not
showing flow at field elevation may be rechecked at higher cabin altitudes (up to 10,000
feet maximum) for acceptance.

(6) All cabin masks should deploy at this time.

(7) Pull lanyard pins of all cabin masks to initiate flow and check flow indicators and masks for proper
operation at this time. Do not pull crew masks lanyards.

(8) Install all lanyard pins to stop flow and allow two minutes for pressure in the system to equalize
(note pressure for Step (10)), then close the supply valve on the jumper hose to trap pressure in
the system.

(9) Close the valve on the regulator. Push in the OXYGEN PULL ON control knob (oxygen off).

(10) After 15 minutes, the pressure should not have dropped more than 5 psig.

(11) If the leakage is excessive, apply leak detector fluid or equivalent (47, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
Use the fluid sparingly on the fittings and wipe dry immediately after testing.

NOTE: Refer to OXYGEN SYSTEM PLUMBING MAINTENANCE procedure when connecting

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Air is bled from the third stage of each engine compressor at a flow rate sufficient to produce 18 psi of
regulated pressure required to operate the bleed air warning system, surface deicer, and vacuum system.
Bleed air is routed aft from each engine through a shutoff valve and check valve to a single pressure
regulator/relief valve, located just to the right of the airplane centerline and forward of Fuselage Station
258.25 in line with the second cabin window (Ref. Figure 1). The regulator valve is set at approximately 18 psi
of pressure and incorporates a safety valve that is set at approximately 21 psi. The relief valve is set higher
than the regulator pressure as a safety feature to protect against regulator failure.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended 18 ± 1 psi regulator setting because higher settings will result
in excessive wear on the relief valve.
From the pressure regulator/relief valve, lines are routed to the various airplane systems that utilize
pneumatic pressure (Ref. Figure 2).
The pneumatic system also incorporates a solenoid-operated shutoff valve that is energized when the bleed
air control switch located on the copilot's subpanel is placed to the OFF position. This shutoff valve closes off
engine bleed air at the nacelle firewall on UA and UB airplanes and at the inboard leading edge on UC
airplanes and airplanes modified by Kit 114-9020-1 in the event of bleed air line breakage downstream of the
valve itself. The valve is “fail/safe” in that it opens upon a loss of electrical power.

1. PNEUMATIC BLEED AIR SHUTOFF VALVE

A. Removal
The pneumatic bleed air shutoff valves are located as specified in the preceding paragraph. The
appropriate panels must be removed to gain access to the valves.

(1) Remove electrical power from the airplane.

(2) Remove the appropriate panels.

(3) Disconnect the electrical connector from the valve (Ref. Figure 201).

(4) Cut safety wire on outboard B-nut. Disconnect the lines from both sides of the valve and remove
the valve from the airplane.

(5) Install plugs in the open lines to prevent the entrance of contaminants.

B. Installation
(1) Remove electrical power from the airplane.

(2) Remove the plugs from the lines (Ref. Figure 201).

(3) Position the valve in the airplane with the flow arrow pointing inboard and connect the bleed air
lines. The valve must be installed as near vertical as possible to promote drainage. Make sure that
plumbing, electrical wiring or control cables are not directly beneath the valve vent as hot air from
the vent could possibly cause damage.

(4) Safety wire the outboard B-nut.

(5) Connect the electrical connector to the valve.

(6) Cover the valve body with insulation. DO NOT install insulation over the vent or around the
solenoid of the valve.

(7) Install the panels removed earlier.

2. REGULATOR/RELIEF VALVE

A. Adjustment
The unit incorporates a safety valve that is set at approximately 21 psi. Ordinarily, the regulator/relief
valve will not require adjustment since each unit is preset at the factory; however, the pressure regulator
valve is equipped with an adjusting screw should it become necessary to reset the valve in the field
(Ref. Figure 202). Adjustment may be accomplished as follows:

(1) Run up the engine until a reading between 70% to 80% is registered by the gas generator
tachometer.

(2) Check the deicer pressure gage for a reading of 18 ± 1 psi. If necessary, unsafety the lock
retaining washer and loosen the adjusting-screw locknut located on top of the valve.

(3) Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure
setting until the pressure gage indicates 18 ± 1 psi.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended setting of 18 ± 1 psi because higher settings will
result in excessive wear on the relief valve.

(4) Tighten and safety the locknut, then shut down the engine.

NOTE: Check the system suction gage for a reading of 4.9 to 5.9 in. Hg. Adjustment of the
pressure regulator valve may affect system suction enough to necessitate readjusting the
vacuum regulator valve. Ascertain that the air filter for the vacuum-operated instruments is
clean and free of lint or foreign material prior to making any adjustment of the vacuum
regulator valve (Ref. Chapter 37-00-00, VACUUM REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Bleed air from the engines is routed through the venturi of an ejector to provide the vacuum necessary for
operation of the instruments and deflation of the deicer boots. The vacuum is regulated by a suction relief
valve designed to admit into the system the amount of air required to maintain sufficient vacuum (4.3 to 5.9 in.
Hg) for proper operation of the vacuum operated instruments. As part of the vacuum system, the turn and slip
indicator operates on a reduced vacuum setting.
The vacuum ports of the vacuum operated instruments are plumbed to a vacuum manifold which is located to
the right of the airplane centerline and aft of forward pressure bulkhead at Fuselage Station 97.00. The
instrument air inlet ports are plumbed to an air intake manifold, located forward and inboard from the vacuum
manifold between Fuselage Stations 84.00 and 94.00. Filtered air is supplied to the intake manifold through
the instrument air filter. The port on the end of each manifold is plumbed to the gyro suction gage. The
second port of each manifold is plumbed to the turn and slip indicator. The third port of each manifold is
plumbed to the directional gyro indicator.
The fourth port of each manifold is plumbed to the gyro horizon indicator (Ref. Figure 1).
CAUTION: Permit no oil, grease, pipe compound, or any foreign material to enter the gyros. Be certain that
all air lines are clean and free of foreign particles and/or residue before connecting lines to the
gyros. Do not use thread lube on gyros with plastic housings and threads. Do not exceed 20
inch-pounds of torque on the fittings.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Instrument Air Filter Servicing


The instrument air filter is located just forward of the instrument intake manifold on the forward side of
the pressure bulkhead at Fuselage Station 84.00. The instrument air filter should be checked and
replaced at intervals specified in Chapter 5 or sooner if conditions warrant, such as operation in heavy
smoke or dust (Ref. Figure 201).

B. Vacuum Regulator Valve Filter Servicing


The vacuum regulator valve is located on the forward right side of the forward pressure bulkhead at
Fuselage Station 84.00. The valve is protected by a foam-type filter mounted on top of the vacuum
regulator. The filter should be cleaned with cleaning solvent (2, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and blown
dry with compressed air or replaced at each 200 hour interval detailed inspection. If the vacuum in the
system exceeds 5.9 inches Hg, clean or replace the filter and check vacuum pressure before attempting
to adjust the regulator valve (Ref. Figure 202).

C. Vacuum Regulator Adjustment


The vacuum regulator valve is located on the forward right side of the forward pressure bulkhead at
Fuselage Station 84.00. Adjust the valve to provide sufficient vacuum for operation of the instruments as
follows (Ref. Figure 202):
NOTE: Prior to making any adjustments to the vacuum regulator valve, make certain that the
instrument air filter and vacuum regulator filter are clean, free of lint or other foreign materials.

(1) Start one engine and run it up until a reading of 70% to 80% is registered by the gas generator
tachometer.

(2) Check the vacuum gage for a reading of approximately 5.9 inches Hg. If the indication is incorrect,
adjust the vacuum regulator valve by removing the safety wire from the lock retaining washer and
loosening the adjusting screw locknut. A calibrated vacuum gage should be used to ensure the
correct setting.

(3) Turn the adjusting screw IN (clockwise) to increase or OUT (counterclockwise) to decrease the
vacuum setting.

(4) When the vacuum gage registers a reading of 5.9 inches Hg with the engine operating within the
range designated in Step (1), tighten the locknut and safety wire, then shut down the engine.

1. GENERAL
The information contained in this chapter is effective for the 1900 Series Airliners. The wiring diagrams
pertinent to these airplanes are found in the following Wiring Diagram Manuals:
Wiring Diagram Manual
P/N 114-590032-3B for
1900 Airliner (UA Serials).
Wiring Diagram Manual
P/N 114-590021-13E for
1900C Airliner (UB Serials).
Wiring Diagram Manual
P/N 114-590021-61C for
1900C Airliner (UC Serials).
This chapter is divided into two sections. Section 39-10-00 contains information necessary for the location
and basic maintenance of panels containing the various indicating instruments and primary controls. Airplane
system performance and total airplane system control is achieved through the use of these various panels
and instruments; therefore, all the electrical panels covered in this section are located in the flight
compartment and are within easy access of the flight crew.
Section 39-20-00 deals with the location and maintenance of panels which contain most of the secondary
controls and electrical circuitry components. Access to these panels and components is necessary only
during maintenance and is gained through access openings located throughout the airplane.
Panels and equipment found within this chapter can be located in the airplane by referring to the zone
diagrams. Refer to Figure 1 and 2 for UA/UB/UC Serials.
NOTE: Pictorial depictions in this Chapter are representative of a typical airplane and do not necessarily
represent the configuration of every airplane. The appropriate wiring diagram manual should be used
in conjunction with this manual.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
A swing down door, hinged at the bottom, provides cabin security for flight and a convenient stairway for entry
and exit. A plastic encased cable provides support for the door in the open position, a hand hold for
passengers, and a convenience for closing the door from the inside. A rubber seal around the cabin door
positively seals the pressure vessel while the airplane is in flight. A hydraulic damper permits the door to
lower gradually during opening (Ref. Figure 1).
The latching mechanism for the airstair door is operated by two handles interconnected inside the door. The
rotary handle on each side of the door is attached to cable drums. When the handle is rotated, cables
attached to the drums wind or unwind in response to the direction of handle movement. The cables from the
handle are routed around splined drums at each of the camlock latches on the forward and aft sides of the
door. The splines in the drum engage splines on the camlock shafts of the latch so that rotation of the drum,
when actuated by the cable from the handle, rotates the face of the latch to engage the latch post in the frame
of the door. The latch cables are adjusted by turnbuckles to a tension sufficient to ensure proper latching and
unlatching of the door in response to handle movement. A splined cam on the ends of the camlock shaft
opposite the latch face actuates switches mounted on brackets at the lower latches to indicate when the door
is closed and latched.
Whether unlocking the door from the outside or inside, the release button adjacent to the door handle must be
held depressed before the handle can be rotated to unlock the door. The release button acts as a safety
device to help prevent accidental opening of the door. As an additional safety measure, a differential pressure
sensitive diaphragm is incorporated into the release button mechanism. The outboard side of the diaphragm
is open to atmospheric pressure, the inboard side to cabin air pressure. As the cabin to atmospheric pressure
increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to press the release button, because the diaphragm moves
inboard when either the inside or outside release button is pressed.

A. Service
(1) Attach the barrel rod end to the cabin door supports and the movable piston rod to the supports on
the door frame when installing the hydraulic snubber (Ref. Figure 201). Shim as necessary with
AN960-14 washers to eliminate side play between the rod ends and their supports.

(2) Service the snubber with hydraulic fluid (39, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). To service, loosen the
cap on the end of the cylinder barrel with the movable rod by removing the three set screws
securing the cap to the barrel. Push down on the rod end until the piston is bottomed in the
cylinder barrel. Slide the cap up on the rod end and fill the barrel with 215 cubic centimeters
(7.2 ounces) hydraulic fluid. Secure the cap to the cylinder barrel with the three set screws.

C. Mounting and Fitting (New)


A new airstair door is supplied with the door hinge half, the seal retainer, and the seal separate from the
door. Do not rivet the hinge half or seal retainer to the new door until after the door has been fitted.
NOTE: To determine if the door hinge requires replacement, a minimum wall thickness of 0.109 inch is
permissible.
If only the hinge is being replaced, the factory installed hinge used NAS1739B5 rivets in 0.176
to 0.180 inch diameter holes. If an oversized or elongated hole is encountered, use
NAS9303B6 rivets in 0.192 to 0.196 inch diameter holes. If additional oversized (larger than
above) rivets are required on subsequent replacement, use NAS9305B6 or NAS1739B6 rivets
in 0.205 to 0.209 inch diameter holes. Countersink the holes to 105° X 0.353 inch diameter.
When measuring the diameter of the hinge pin, if the diameter is less than 0.126 inch replace
the pin.

(1) Remove the old door from the airplane. Perform the AIRSTAIR DOOR REMOVAL procedure.

(2) Place a shim, approximately 0.038 to 0.050 inch thick and 8 to 10 inches long, into the recessed
airstair door frame on the fuselage.

NOTE: A shim will hold the skin of the new airstair door flush with the outside skin of the fuselage
once the airstair door is properly trimmed.

(3) Position the airstair door in the fuselage frame. The excess skin on the door will not allow it to fit
into the recessed frame; however, center the camlock latches on the posts as loosely as possible.

(4) Place the handle of the airstair door to the fully open position. This will allow the six camlock
latches to align with the posts in the fuselage frame.

CAUTION: Extreme caution must be used during skin removal to prevent removing excess
material and creating an enlarged gap between the fuselage and the airstair doors.
The gap between the airstair door and the fuselage is to be a maximum of 0.060 inch.

(5) Starting at the bottom of the airstair door, determine where the excess skin needs to be removed
to allow the bottom of the door to fit into the recessed frame. Remove the airstair door from the
fuselage frame. Using a 40 grit sanding disc attached to an electric motor, remove excess skin
from the bottom of the door as required.

(6) Position the airstair door in the fuselage frame and center the forward and aft camlock latches on
the post. Determine where excess skin needs to be removed from the sides of the door so it will fit
into the recessed frame. Remove excess skin from the sides as required.

NOTE: Repeat the above procedure as many times as required until the sides of the door fit into
the recessed frame.

(7) As the door begins to fit into the opening, place four 3/8 to 1/2 inch shims, two on each side, into
the recessed opening to support the door flush with the outside skin of the fuselage.

(8) Mark and begin removing excess skin material from the top of the door. This is best accomplished
by leaving the door in the opening and raising the top up for sanding. Repeat this process, as
required, until the top of the door will fit into the recessed opening. Place three 3/8 to 1/2 inch
shims into the recessed opening to support the top of the door flush with the outside skin of the
fuselage.

(9) Once the door fits completely into the opening, check that the camlock latches are centered on the
post and latch the door closed. Mate the new hinge to the existing hinge half on the fuselage frame
and install the hinge pin. Use shims as required all around the door to keep it from moving while
drilling hinge holes.

(10) Drill twenty-three 0.128 to 0.133 inch diameter holes through the door, using the first row of pilot
holes adjacent to the hinge pin as guides. Countersink the holes 100° X 0.230 inch diameter on
the hinge half.

(11) Install #30-pull cleco fasteners (minimum of seven) equally spaced to hold the door to the hinge
half. Drill thirty-five 0.176 to 0.180 inch diameter holes, using the remainder of the holes in the
hinge half as guides. Countersink the holes 100° X 0.286 inch diameter on the hinge half.

CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum gap of 0.060 inch between the door and the fuselage
frame.

(12) The door can now be opened and closed freely on the hinge. Remove the remaining excess skin
material until the desired gap of 0.040 inch is obtained between the airstair door and the fuselage.

(13) Remove the hinge pin and the cleco fasteners. Remove the airstair door from the fuselage frame.
Apply sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) between the hinge half and the door frame.

(14) Position the new hinge half and the lower seal retainer on the door and align the pilot holes in the
retainer with the twenty-three holes drilled in Step (10). Seal between the lower seal retainer and
the door with sealer.

(15) Install twenty-three rivets through the hinge half, door skin, and the retainer. Install thirty-five rivets
through the remaining holes in the hinge half.

(16) Position the two side retainers and the top retainer along the inside edge of the door. The outside
edge of the retainers should be 0.025 inch from the outside edge of the door. Drill 0.096 inch
diameter holes through the door, using the holes in the retainers as guides. Countersink the holes
100° X 0.230 inch in diameter on the outside skin.

(17) Seal between the retainers and the door with sealer. Install rivets to secure the retainers to the
door.

(18) Carefully place the airstair door into position, mate the hinge halves, and install the hinge pin.
Install the hinge pin retainers on each end of the hinge with screws.

(19) Install the bushing, spacer, washer, and screw attaching the handrail cable eye to the fuselage
mount bracket.

(20) Perform the ADJUSTMENT OF AIRSTAIR DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM procedure.

(21) Connect the electrical connector for the airstair door warning switches located under the doorsill
step adjacent to the door hinge. Perform the ADJUSTMENT OF CARGO AND AIRSTAIR DOOR
WARNING SWITCHES procedure in Chapter 52-70-00.

(22) Apply soapstone powder to the new seal and retainer. Starting with the seal at the marked location
on the door, work the seal into the retainer. A thin flat strip of plexiglas or phenolic with a rounded
end will facilitate installation. Clean off the soapstone powder as necessary.

NOTE: To ensure retention of the seal in the track, the seal may be cemented in place with
adhesive (43, 145, 167 or 193, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(23) Remove upholstery from the old door and install on the new door, or install new upholstery as
required.

(24) Perform the AIRSTAIR DOOR INSTALLATION procedure.

(25) After the door has been installed and painted to match the fuselage, lubricate the door
(Ref. Chapter 12-20-00, LUBRICATION SCHEDULE).

4. AIRSTAIR DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM

A. Adjustment
(1) Remove the upholstery panels as necessary to gain access to the latching mechanism.

(2) Remove the seal from its retainer around the periphery of the airstair door.

Page 204
May 1/10 52-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Shim the airstair door with spacer blocks taped to the door at the six latch points so that the
outside contour of the door matches that of the fuselage.

NOTE: An undercontour of 0.06 inch between the airstair door and the fuselage is acceptable, but
the airstair door contour must NEVER be outside that of the fuselage.

(4) With the outside handles in the closed position and the pressure lock engaged by the arm
assembly, insert a rig pin through the handle support into the cable drum, then adjust the handle
rod to fit the arm of the outside handle as shown (Ref. Figure 202, Detail B).

NOTE: Only the rod end that attaches to the inside handle is adjustable. After the handle rod is
adjusted to the proper length, check that the threads of the adjustable end are visible in
the inspection hole of the rod before tightening the jam nut and attaching the rod to the
handle arm.
If it is necessary to replace the door pressure lock or the handle actuator assembly, the
0.015 to 0.045 inch dimension shown must be maintained (Ref. Figure 208).

(5) Remove the rig pin from the support of the inside arm.

(6) Remove upholstery panels and Step(s) on the airstair door as necessary to inspect the latch
mechanism cable. Check the latch mechanism cables for clearances.

NOTE: If a door cable requires replacement, wrap the cable around each latch drum and the
handle drum so that the retaining pin slot in the drum is aligned with the drum guide
retaining screw on the inboard side of the latch housing (Ref. Figure 203). This will ensure
adequate rotation of the camlock shaft to complete the latching and unlatching
movements of the latching mechanism.
At each change of season, or if difficulty is experienced with airstair door operation, it is
recommended that the bearings on the cam and drum assemblies be lubricated with
lubricant (111, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or equivalent.

(7) Check latch mechanism cables for clearances, damage, broken strands, corrosion, condition and
security of attachment. Move door handle from open to closed to check entire length of cables.
Replace cables with broken strands.

(8) Rig the latch cables to the tension designated by the graph (Ref. Figure 207). Cable tension for the
camlock latches is adjusted with the turnbuckles on each side of the door.

(9) After the cable tension has been set, safety the turnbuckle as indicated (Ref. Figure 204).

(10) With the door handles in the open position, insert the splines of each camlock shaft into the splines
of its respective cable drum so that the cutout in the latch face of the shaft is centered with respect
to the arc made by the latch when the door is closing as indicated (Ref. Figure 205).

(11) Engage the splines of each latch cam with the splines on the small end of the camlock shaft so
that the cam just contacts its stop pin (Ref. Figure 203). On the latch on each side of the door
where the electrical switches are located, back the cam off one spline from the point where it
contacts the stop pin, then install the washer and nut securing it in place. On the other four latches,
back the cam off two splines from the point where it contacts the stop pin, then install the washer
and nut securing the cam in place.

Page 205
52-10-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Any time the camlock shafts are repositioned with respect to the cable drums, the latch
cams must be reindexed to the camlock shaft to ensure full travel (90°) of the latch
handles.

(12) Adjust each latch post on the fuselage frame adjacent to the latches of the airstair door until the
post's point of contact with the latch face of the camlock shaft aligns with the closing arc made by
the latch when the door is fully closed (Ref. Figure 206). To make this adjustment, rotate the
eccentric bushing, in conjunction with the eccentric latch post, until the post is properly aligned
with the latch, then tighten and safety the nut securing the post in place. A special latch post
wrench (P/N 101-590052-1) is required to adjust the eccentric bushing.

(13) Perform the ADJUSTMENT OF CARGO AND AIRSTAIR DOOR WARNING SWITCHES
procedure in Chapter 52-70-00.

NOTE: Coating the latch post with Blue Dykem, or its equivalent, will facilitate pinpointing its area
of contact with the face of the latch.

(14) Remove the spacer blocks taped to the door at the six latch points.

(15) Work the door seal into the retainer channel around the periphery of the door.

NOTE: To ensure retention of the seal in the track, the seal may be cemented in place with
adhesive (43, 145, 167 or 193, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(16) Attach a pull gage to the outside handle and check the torque required to operate the latching
mechanism while closing the door. The torque required to start rotation of the handle should not
exceed 250 inch-pounds, and the torque required to continue the latching movement should not
exceed 100 inch-pounds.

(17) Check the torque required to operate the latching mechanism while opening the door. The torque
required to start rotation of the handle should not exceed 250 inch-pounds, and the torque
required to continue the latching mechanism movement should not exceed 100 inch-pounds.

NOTE: Multiply the distance in inches from the handle shaft to the attachment point of the pull
gage times the reading in pounds on the gage to measure the inch-pounds of torque
required for actuation of the latch mechanism. If the actuating torque does not fall within
the prescribed limits, adjust the door posts and cable rigging until the proper torque is
acquired.

(18) Install all upholstery that was removed to facilitate latch adjustment.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

7. AIRSTAIR DOOR HANDRAIL

A. Functional Check
The purpose of this functional check is to ensure that the airstair door handrails do not become
damaged and do not interfere with the operation of the door. The handrails should be installed so that
as the door closes the handrails twist away from the edges of the door to avoid being pinched and
damaged. Also, with the airstair door in the closed position, the handrails must not be situated in a way
that may interferer with the door being opened.

(1) Perform a functional check of the airstair door handrails by performing the following Steps:

NOTE: While performing this functional check, do not pull on the handrails from the inside of the
airplane to close the airstair door. The handrails should be allowed to move on their own
as the door is closed. Observe the handrail behavior from inside the airplane as the door
is slowly closed by someone outside the airplane.

(a) Inspect the airstair door decals for installation, condition and legibility on the interior and
exterior of the airstair door assembly (Ref. Chapter 11).

(b) With weight on the bottom airstair door step, adjust the turnbuckle on the lower forward
handrail (19) so the stairs are level and the load is shared equally by the forward and aft
handrails (Ref. Figure 209).

(c) With assistance, observe from inside the airplane the behavior of the airstair door handrails
as the door is closed. The handrails should not interfere in any way with the operation of the
airstair door during closing. If the handrails cause any interference, disconnect the handrail
at clevis (8 or 18) and return to UPPER FORWARD AND AFT HANDRAIL INSTALLATION
Step (2) and LOWER FORWARD AND AFT HANDRAIL INSTALLATION Step (4).

(d) With assistance, observe from inside the airplane the behavior of the airstair door handrails
as the door is opened. The handrails should not interfere in any way with the operation of the
airstair door during opening of the door. If the handrails cause any interference, disconnect
the handrail at clevis (8 or 18) and return to UPPER FORWARD AND AFT HANDRAIL
INSTALLATION Step (2) and LOWER FORWARD AND AFT HANDRAIL INSTALLATION
Step (4).

(e) When no interference is observed, repeat Steps (1) (c) and (1) (d) at least three times to
ensure proper operation of the airstair door handrails. If proper operation cannot be obtained,
it may be necessary to replace one or more of the handrails.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL

A. Cargo Door
The cargo door is hinged at the top and incorporates a bottom latching mechanism. Gas springs
charged with nitrogen are attached to the door frame and to brackets on each side of the door for
automatically opening the door after the initial opening force is applied. Two small gas springs, attached
to brackets on the door and on the fuselage structure above the door, cushion the closing force of the
large gas springs on the sides of the door. The door is counterbalanced to remain in the open position;
however, a support rod is provided for additional support and to hold the door open during gusty
conditions. The gas springs also apply a closing force to assist in closing and latching the door. A rubber
seal is held in place by retainers around the periphery of the door to effectively seal the pressure vessel
when the cabin is pressurized.
The latching mechanism for the cargo door is operated by two interconnected handles, one on the
outside and one on the inside of the door. The handles are attached to cable drums. When the handles
are rotated, cables attached to the drums wind or unwind in response to the direction of handle
movement. The cables from the handles are routed around splined drums at each of the camlock
latches on the forward and aft sides of the door. The splines in the drums engage splines on the
camlock shafts of the latch so that the rotation of the drum, when actuated by the cable from the handle,
rotates the face of the latch to engage the latch post in the door frame. The latch cables are adjusted by
turnbuckles to a tension sufficient to ensure proper latching and unlatching of the latches in response to
handle movement. A splined cam on the end of the camlock shaft opposite the latch face actuates
switches mounted on brackets at the upper latches to indicate when the door is closed and latched. The
movement of the inside latch handle fore and aft is transferred by a tube running the width of the cargo
door to four latch pins that engage latch brackets on the door with lugs attached to the doorsill of the
fuselage.
To open the cargo door after it is unlatched, push on the bottom of the door. After the cargo door is
manually opened a few feet, gas springs take over and raise the door to the fully open position.
To close the cargo door, pull it down and inboard. The gas springs will resist the closing effort until the
door is only open a few feet. Then, as the springs move overcenter, they begin applying a closing force
to the door.
The door closes against an inflatable rubber seal around the opening in the cargo door frame. When the
cabin is pressurized, air seeps into the rubber seal through small holes drilled in the side of the seal.
The higher the cabin differential pressure, the more the seal inflates. This is a passive seal system and
has no mechanical connection to a bleed air source.

B. Nose Baggage Compartment Door


The nose baggage compartment door has two hinges located at the top which permits the door to be
opened upward. Three latch pins, one located on each side of the door and one at the bottom, are
connected by couplings to a bellcrank, located at the center of the door.
A microswitch, actuated by the forward latching pin, will extinguish the DOOR OPEN warning light when
the door is closed and locked.

Page 1
52-30-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

To open the nose baggage door, use the thumb to press in on the forward portion of the door latch
handle. As the forward portion is pressed in, the aft portion of the latch will protrude past the recess in
the door. While holding in on the forward portion of the handle, grasp the aft portion and rotate the
handle downward until the door is completely unlocked. Raise the door up to the open position. The
door is equipped with a gas spring to assist opening and to steady the door in gusty conditions. To close
the door, exert downward pressure to overcome the gas spring. While holding the door in the closed
position, rotate the handle upward; the handle will automatically return to the locked position.

C. Prerigging
The following rigging instructions may be accomplished with the door on a work bench or installed on
the airplane in the open position:

(1) Place the cargo door latching handle in the closed and locked position.

(2) Adjust the latching mechanism pushrod so that the untapered shoulder of each latch pin extends a
minimum of 0.15 inch beyond its respective bracket (Ref. Figure 202). Shim the pin with
AN960-616 or AN960-616L washers as necessary to obtain this dimension.

(3) Place the cargo door latching handle in the unlocked position and adjust the latch pins until each
pin clears the bracket by 0.18 inch (Ref. Figure 202).

(4) Adjust the cargo door latch handle stop bolt to maintain the 0.18 inch clearance with a handle
rotation of 85 1/2° from open to lock. If the 85 1/2° rotation cannot achieved, readjust the cargo
door latch handle stop bolt until 85 1/2° of latch handle travel is assured (Ref. Figure 203).

(5) Install the door latch cable drum on the door with the cable slot in the drum (where the cable
originates) on the inboard side of the latch housing. This is a starting point only and is not
absolute, as this position may change with further rigging.

(6) Rig the cables as indicated in the Cable Tension Graph (Ref. Figure 208).

(7) Safety the turnbuckle (Ref. Figure 204).

NOTE: If the preceding Steps were done on a work bench, the cargo door must now be installed
on the airplane prior to proceeding.

(8) With the latch handle in the fully open position, insert the splines of each camlock shaft in the
splines of its respective cable drum so that the cutout in the latch face is centered with respect to
the arc made by the latch when the door is closing (Ref. Figure 205).

(9) Engage the splines of each latch cam with the splines on the small end of the camlock shaft so
that the cam just contacts its stop pin (Ref. Figure 206). On the top latch on each side of the door
where the electrical switches are located, back the cam off one spline from the point where it
contacts the stop pin, then install the washer and nut securing it in place.

CAUTION: Anytime the camlock shafts are repositioned with respect to the cable drums, the latch
cams must be reindexed to the camlock shaft to ensure full travel of the latch handle.

2. CARGO DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM

A. Adjustment
NOTE: Ensure that all other cargo door rigging requirements are complied with before performing this
procedure.
The gas springs must be disconnected and the door seal removed before these instructions
are performed.

(1) Disconnect the door latch mechanism pushrod from the latch pin guide tube, and tie the rod back
out of the way.

(2) Manually engage the latch pin to hold the door in the closed position.

(3) With the door closed and held in place by the bottom latch pin, adjust each camlock latch post on
the side of the doorframe so that the post maintains a clearance of 0.062-inch with the face of the
camlock latch. When the camlock latch is in the latched position shim the post as necessary with
P/N 101-514033-1 laminated washers to obtain this clearance (Ref. Figure 207).

(4) With the door closed and held in place by the bottom latch pins, adjust each latch post on the side
of the door frame until the post's point of contact with the latch face of the camlock shaft aligns with
the closing arc made by the latch when the door is fully closed (Ref. Figure 209). To make this
adjustment, rotate the eccentric bushing, in conjunction with the eccentric latch post, until the post
is properly aligned with the latch, then tighten and torque the nut 290 to 410 inch-pounds. Safety
the nut securing the post in place. A special latch post wrench (P/N 101-590052-1) is required to
adjust the eccentric bushing.

NOTE: Coating the latch post with “Blue Dykem”, or equivalent, will facilitate pinpointing its area
of contact with the face of the latch (Ref. Figure 209).

(5) Paint the grooves on the camlock assemblies with Calypso Orange paint or equivalent.

(6) With the door latch handle in the closed and latched position, align the orange grooves on the
camlock latch assemblies with the slots on the indicator assemblies mounted on the door frame
(Ref. Figure 210).

(7) Reconnect the door latching mechanism pushrod.

(8) With the door in the closed and latched position, align the pointer on the latching pin guide rod with
the target assembly mounted below the lower pulley (Ref. Figure 211).

(9) Adjust the eccentric bushing of the roller guide assembly in the doorframe on each side of the
cargo door adjacent to the upper latches until the roller just contacts the guide bracket on the door
when the door is fully latched (Ref. Figure 212). After the roller is properly positioned on the door
frame with respect to the guide bracket on the door, tighten the nut securing the roller in place.

(10) Close the door and check that the camlock latches on the sides of the cargo door and the bottom
latches operate properly when actuated by the latching handles.

(11) Adjust the doorsill, lower latch, lower latch handle, rotary handle, and forward and aft latch
switches as necessary to ensure that the cabin door warning system functions properly. Adjust the
switches in accordance with the procedures described under CARGO AND AIRSTAIR DOOR
WARNING SWITCHES in 52-70-00.

(12) Work the door seal into the retainer channel around the perimeter of the door with a tongue
depressor or its equivalent.

(13) Engage the ends of the gas spring assemblies with the ball studs securing them to the brackets on
the sides and over the cargo door, then lock each in place with a retaining clip.

(14) Check the latch mechanism for proper operation in the open and closed positions.

CAUTION: Adjustment of the two cargo door alignment guides are not to be made until all other
cargo door mechanism rigging requirements are completed.

(15) Center the cargo door lower latch mechanism with the lower doorsill lugs. Adjust the striker plates
on the forward and aft fuselage door frame, using shims (P/N 101-514190-11) as required to
maintain a 0.06 to 0.03 inch clearance between the roller and striker plate.

criterion may be used to determine replacement of the gas spring assemblies.

(1) Open the cargo door and install the door support rod.

NOTE: It should be noted that sluggish operation of the gas springs is normal during exceptionally
cold weather and does not indicate a need for replacement of the part.

(2) During door closing, after the gas spring assemblies pass overcenter position, the downward force
is insufficient to close the door.

(3) Gas spring rods are nicked or bent.

4. CARGO DOOR SEAL

A. Replacement
NOTE: This procedure is typical for both the forward and aft airstair door post removal.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the airplane, a support shall be placed beneath the airstair door
whenever any handrail(s) are not fully installed.

CARGO AND AIRSTAIR DOOR WARNING
52-70-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The warning system for the cargo and cabin entrance (airstair) doors utilize nine switches, five on the cargo
door and four on the airstair door, to indicate that all door handles and latches are safety positioned when the
doors are closed and latched. Two separate switch circuits are used to illuminate the FWD CABIN DOOR and
AFT CABIN DOOR lights in the warning annunciator panel to indicate that the cargo and airstair doors are not
properly secured.
The circuit for the cargo door is wired in parallel through the doorsill, forward and aft camlock latch, latch
handle and the latch pin switches to send a signal to the annunciator fault detection card assembly, which in
turn activates the AFT CABIN DOOR light in the warning annunciator panel to indicate that any one of the
switches is not actuated. The doorsill, forward and aft camlock latch and the latch handle switches on the
airstair door are wired in the same manner as the switches on the cargo door to illuminate the FWD CABIN
DOOR light on the warning annunciator panel.
The camlock switches utilized in both circuits are actuated by a cam attached to the shaft of the camlock latch
that is rotated by the cable and handle drums; consequently, these switches sense the rotary motion of the
handle and subsequent movement of the cables when the door is being locked or unlocked. If the cable
breaks or the switch actuator or cam fails, the switch will return to the normally closed position to indicate an
unlocked condition.

1. GENERAL
Being of semimonocoque construction, the Model 1900 Airliner fuselage is pressurized to the skin between
pressure bulk-heads at stations 84.00 and 557.50. All skin, bulkhead and structure points, plumbing and
wiring connections passing through a pressure wall, access doors, windows, control cables, and torque
shafts are sealed to minimize air leakage. The Model 1900 Airliner is equipped with forward and aft, left side
swing down cabin entrance doors. The Model 1900C Airliner is provided with a forward left side swing down
cabin entrance door and a left rear swing up cargo door. The swing down cabin entrance door provides a
convenient stairway for boarding the airplane. The swing up cargo door provides a means of loading and
unloading baggage as well as cargo. Three emergency exits are installed for quick egress should the need
arise. Two of these exits are located on the right side of the airplane at the third and fifth cabin windows and
the other exit on the left side at the fifth cabin window. Other fuselage openings include a swing up nose
baggage door on the left side of the airplane, an avionics compartment door opposite the nose baggage
compartment door, an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) access door on the right side of the airplane
below the stabilon, and access doors attached to each main landing gear and the nose landing gear
(Ref. Chapter 6-50-00).
For fuselage skin thickness (Ref. MODEL 1900 AIRLINER SERIES STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL,
P/N 114-590021-9).
The subfloor area of the fuselage contains various electrical and mechanical systems components. Access to
these components is gained by removing the floorboard panels (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00).

1. GENERAL

A. Flight Compartment Seat Tracks


The flight compartment seats (pilot and copilot) are moveable forward and aft on tracks attached to the
floor. Lock pins are controlled by the seat occupant to adjust and secure the seat in a selected position
on the tracks. The pilot and copilot seats are equipped with support channels that are designed to move
on the tracks while preventing seat and track separation.
Four crew compartment seat tracks extend from FS 118.00 to FS 142.00 along left and right BL 11.00
and BL 21.00. Each seat track is secured to a track support with screws into nut plates on the track
support structure.

B. Passenger Compartment Seat Tracks


The passenger seats are mounted on one floor mounted seat track and one sidewall mounted seat
track in a fixed position. Movement of the seat on the tracks is necessary only during installation and
removal of the seat (Ref. Chapter 25-20-00).

2. FLIGHT COMPARTMENT SEAT TRACK

A. Wear Limits
Excessive wear of the seat attach components and seat tracks will cause the crew seat to become
unstable. Wear limits of the components have been established to determine when component
replacement is necessary. These components include the seat channel on the seat base, seat lock pins
and the seat tracks. The maximum wear limits are illustrated in Figure 201. Replacement of worn parts
must be accomplished if the limits are exceeded.

(1) The seat base must be replaced if measurements of the seat channel are less than the minimum
dimensions in Detail A.

(2) Replace the lock pins if the diameter is less than 0.220 inch or pin engagement into the seat track
is less than 0.11 inch as shown in Detail D.

(3) The seat tracks must be replaced if measurements of the tracks are less than the minimum
dimensions shown in Figure 201. A slight gouge in the top surface (Detail B), caused by the lock
pin, is not detrimental to the operation of the seat. The lock pin hole may be elongated in a forward
and aft direction to a maximum of 0.315 inch long, measured at the 0.06 inch depth, before track
replacement is necessary. The diameter of the holes must not exceed 0.270 inch below 0.06 inch
depth.

3. PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SEAT TRACK

A. Wear Limits
As the seat tracks wear their strength is reduced. Refer to Figure 202 and Figure 203 for acceptable
wear limitations which have been established for the passenger compartment seat tracks.
If gouging or chafing is present and the depth does not exceed the values shown in Figure 202 and
Figure 203, proceed with the following repair procedure.
• Remove any sharp edges using aluminum oxide sandpaper. Do not sand any deeper
than the initial gouge or chafe.
• Apply Alodine 1200 or 600 on any exposed surface.
If the minimum and maximum limitations shown in Figure 202 and Figure 203 cannot be met,
contact Hawker Beechcraft Technical Support.

4. CORROSION ON THE SEAT TRACK


If corrosion is found on the seat tracks, refer to Chapter 20-09-00 for information on corrosion removal.
Inspect each seat track. Refer to Figure 202 and Figure 203 for acceptable corrosion limitations, which
have been established for the passenger compartment seat tracks.
If the minimum and maximum limitations shown in Figure 202 and Figure 203 can not be met, contact
Hawker Beechcraft Technical Support.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Removal
(1) Remove the aft pressure bulkhead and the access panels on either side of the empennage below
the stabilon (Ref. Figure 201).

(2) Disconnect the deice tube.

(3) Remove the screws attaching the stabilon angles to the fuselage and the bolts securing the
stabilon to the splice plates.

(4) Slide the stabilon out of the fuselage.

B. Installation
(1) If the replacement stabilon has attach angles, proceed to Step (3), if angles are not installed,
proceed with Step (2).

(2) Locate, drill and install the upper and lower stabilon attach angles on the stabilon using adjustable
preload fasteners. Fastener removal and installation instructions can be found in Chapter
51-40-07 of the Model 1900 Series AIRLINER STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL.

NOTE: To determine attach angle location, the stabilon must be properly located on the fuselage.
Stabilon location is determined by comparing measurements from the stabilon trailing
edge tips to the fuselage centerline at the tailcone when the stabilons are inserted into the
fuselage until they are in contact with each other and centered.
CAUTION: If the holes in the stabilon are misdrilled, the stabilon is not repairable. New angles or
splice plates may be matched to an existing stabilon or a new stabilon may be
matched to existing angles and splice plates.

(3) Slide the replacement stabilon into position in the fuselage (Ref. Figure 201).

(4) Locate and mark the hole positions on the attach angles and the stabilon mounting area at the
splice plates.

(5) Remove the stabilon and drill holes. The attach angle to fuselage mounting holes should be
0.193 to 0.200-inch in diameter.

NOTE: Once the holes are drilled, the attach angles, stabilon and splice plates are matched to
each other and may not fit another installation.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Removal
(1) Remove the fasteners (Ref. Figure 201). Fastener removal and installation instructions can be
found in Chapter 51-40-03 of the Model 1900 SERIES AIRLINER STRUCTURAL REPAIR
MANUAL.

(2) Remove the tail-let by sliding it down and tilting it outboard.

(3) Remove the access panel on top of the stabilizer and remove the rivet shanks, metal chips and
any other debris.

B. Installation
(1) If the replacement tail-let has attach angles, proceed to Step (3), if the angles are not installed,
proceed to Step (2).

(2) Locate, drill, and install the four attach angles on the tail-let using adjustable preload fasteners.
Fastener removal and installation instructions can be found in Chapter 51-40-07 of the Model 1900
SERIES AIRLINER STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL.

NOTE: To determine attach angle location, the tail-let must be properly located in the stabilizer.
Tail-let location is determined by inserting the tail-let into the stabilizer until it contacts the
lower stabilizer skin and aligning the top brackets with the existing rivet holes in the
stabilizer.
CAUTION: If the holes in the tail-let are misdrilled, the tail-let is not repairable. New angles may
be matched to an existing tail-let or a new tail-let may be matched to existing angles.

(3) Place the tail-let into position in the stabilizer and drill the attach angles to match the existing
stabilizer structure (Ref. Figure 201).

NOTE: Once the holes are drilled, the attach angles, tail-let and stabilizer are matched to each
other and may not fit another installation.

(4) Install new fasteners to replace those removed during tail-let removal (Ref. Figure 201).

(5) Install the access plate on the top of the stabilizer.

(6) Seal the tail-let to the stabilizer with sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or equivalent.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Balancing
After repainting and/or repair, the finished elevator must be check balanced to ensure that its static
moment about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The static moment for all completed elevator
assemblies must fall within the range of 1.60 inch-pounds nose heavy to 0.80 inch-pounds tail heavy at
the measured moment about the hinge line (Ref. Figure 201). The static moment of the elevator is
determined by multiplying the unbalanced weight of the elevator assembly times the perpendicular
distance from the hinge centerline to the center of gravity when the chord line is horizontally level. The
weight is measured in pounds and the distance in inches. The static moment of a 100 percent balanced
elevator assembly is 0.0 inch-pounds. Tail heaviness indicates static underbalance while nose
heaviness indicates static overbalance.

B. Checking Balance
The balance must be checked in a draft-free area with the elevator completely assembled in flying
condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod, static
wicks, and hinge bolts must be attached. The chord line must be horizontally level and the hinge line
must be properly supported when the static moment is measured. Although many different methods of
check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following two headings:

(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from the
hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the elevator assembly.

(2) Actual Force Measurement - Measurement of the force applied by the elevator surface on a
single support at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.

NOTE: Counterbalancing is the simplest method of check balancing.

C. Balancing Procedures
WARNING: Airplanes using adjustment weight attachment screws must replace them with
adjustment weight attachment bolts while performing these procedures (Ref. Figure
201). Refer to Table 201 for appropriate adjustment weight attachment bolts.

2. CHECK BALANCING BY FORCE MEASUREMENT METHOD

A. Equipment Required
(1) A stand with knife-edge supports (Ref. Figure 201). The knife edges should be in the same
horizontal plane.

(2) A certified beam balance calibrated in units of 0.01 pounds or less. The balance should have a flat
weighing platform and its capacity should equal tare plus 2.0 pounds minimum.

(3) A support spindle similar to the illustration and leveling blocks, as required (blocks + spindle =
tare).

Page 201
55-20-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) A straightedge, rule and spirit level.

B. Force Measurement Method


(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the inboard end of the elevator so that one end
is aligned with the center of the torque tube and the other end is centered on the trailing edge.
Mark the chord line by grease pencil or other means on the rib. Remove the straightedge.

(2) Fit correct size bolts in the outboard and center hinge brackets and mount the elevator on the knife
edges. Ensure that it is free to rotate about the hinge line.

(3) Place a small platform scale under the trailing edge if the control surface is tail-heavy or under the
leading edge if it is nose-heavy.

(4) Place the upper end of the spindle under the trailing edge of tail-heavy surfaces or under the
leading edge of the nose-heavy surfaces. The spindle must be vertical throughout the balancing
procedure. Hold a spirit level against the marked chord line and level it by extending or contracting
the spindle, or by using blocks and shims under the spindle.

(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction on
the beam balance.

(6) Calculate the static underbalance moment M from the formula:

M = D (R-T) inch-pounds where,


D = Perpendicular distance from the hinge center line to the spindle point (inches).
R = Reaction (pounds) read from the beam balance.
T = Tare, i.e. spindle plus leveling blocks or shims on the scale platform (pounds).
EXAMPLE
D is 10.0 inches, R is 1.100 lbs and T = 1.000 lbs
M = 10.0 (1.100-1.000); M = 1.00 inch-pounds.
M is within the prescribed range which is satisfactory. If M is not within the prescribed range, refer
to Step (9) of the COUNTERBALANCING METHOD procedures, in this section.

B. Counterbalancing Method
(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the inboard end of the elevator assembly so that
one end is on the hinge center line and the other end is centered on the trailing edge. Mark the
chord line with a suitable marker, such as a grease pencil, then remove the straightedge.

NOTE: While the hinge center line is not openly visible, it can be located as follows: With the
hinge clevis properly aligned and tightened, locate the center of the clevis mounting bolt
on the top of the elevator (covered with a plug button) as a reference point. The hinge line
is 1.13 inches forward of this reference point. Mark the hinge line with a grease pencil.

(2) Secure the trim tab in its neutral position with a small piece of masking tape.

(3) Fit the correct sized bolts in the hinge clevises and mount the elevator on the knife-edge supports
(Ref. Figure 201). Ascertain that the elevator is free to rotate about the hinge line.

(4) To determine if adjustment weights should be added or removed, suspend a paper cup from a
point near the center of the elevator trailing edge if the balance is nose-down or near the inboard
end of the balance weight assembly on the elevator leading edge if the balance is tail-down. Use a
short length of small diameter string secured to the surface with a small piece of masking tape
(Ref. Figure 201). The cup must be free to hang vertically.

(5) Add small quantities of lead shot to the cup until the elevator balances with the chord line level.
Check this by holding the spirit level aligned with the marked chord line.

(6) Carefully measure the perpendicular distance D within 0.1-inch from the hinge centerline to the
point of suspension of the cup.

(7) Remove the cup, contents, and string, then weigh them to within 0.05-pound.

NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance D weighing is most important and
must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.

(8) Calculate the static balance as follows:

(a) The weight of the cup and contents is designated by W.

(b) The distance between the center line of the hinge and the suspension point of the cup is
designated by D.

(c) The over- or underbalance moment is designated by M.

(d) M = W x D

(e) The following is a typical example of a balancing calculation: Assume the elevator is slightly
overbalance (nose-heavy) and the paper cup was suspended from the trailing edge. If the
elevator balances with the chord line level at W = 0.100-pound and D = 13.8-inches, then...
M = 0.100 x 13.8; M = 1.38 inch-pounds (The product of W x D must be accurate to within
0.05 inch-pound). In this instance M is within the required static balance range and is
therefore acceptable.

(9) If the static balance does not fall within the range of 1.60 inch-pound nose-heavy (overbalance) to
0.80 inch-pound tail-heavy (underbalance), adjustment weights must be added or removed and
the balance rechecked.

NOTE: A maximum of four small adjustment weights (P/N 101-610026-5) and seven large
adjustment weights (P/N 101-610026-7) may be added or removed from the balance
weight assembly on the outboard leading edge of the elevator. The steel cover plate must
be installed over the adjustment weights with NAS6703HUXX bolts (Ref. SB 27-3187).
Bolt lengths vary with the number of weights installed. Refer to Table 201 for the proper
attachment bolts. Nut plates are located inside the elevator assemblies to anchor the
bolts. Bolts are torqued 20 to 30 inch-pounds then safety wired with MS20995C32 wire.

1. PROCEDURES

A. Balancing
When the rudder surface is being repainted it is recommended to position it by utilizing best shop
practice so that excess paint will drain toward the leading edge. This will minimize the amount of
balance weights required.
After repainting and/or repair, the finished rudder must be check balanced to ensure that its static
moment about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The static moment for all completed rudder
assemblies must fall within the range of 3.55 pound-inches to 9.55 pound-inches tail-heavy at the
measured moment about the hinge line. The static moment of the rudder is determined by multiplying
the unbalanced weight of the rudder assembly times the perpendicular distance from the hinge
centerline to the center of gravity when the chord line is horizontally level (Ref. Figure 201). The weight
is measured in pounds and the distance in inches. The static moment of a 100 percent balanced rudder
assembly is 0.0 pound-inches. Tail heaviness indicates static underbalance while nose heaviness
indicates static overbalance.

B. Checking Balance
The rudder balance must be checked in a draft free area with the rudder completely assembled in flying
condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod, static
wicks, hinge clevises, bonding jumpers and hardware, must be attached. The chord line must be
horizontally level and the hinge line must be properly supported when the static moment is measured.
Although many different methods of check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following
two headings:

(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from the
hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the rudder assembly.

(2) Actual Force Measurement - Measurement of the force applied by the rudder surface on a single
support at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.

NOTE: Counterbalancing is the simplest method of check balancing.

2. BALANCING PROCEDURES

A. Equipment Required to Perform Check Balancing by Force Measurement


Method
(1) A stand with knife-edge supports (Ref. Figure 201). The knife edges should be in the same
horizontal plane.

(2) A certified beam balance calibrated in units of 0.01 pounds or less. The balance should have a flat
weighing platform and its capacity should equal tare plus 2.0 pounds minimum.

(3) A support spindle similar to the illustration and leveling blocks, as required (blocks + spindles =
tare).

Page 201
55-40-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) A straightedge, rule and spirit level.

B. Force Measurement Method


(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the inboard end of the rudder so that one end is
aligned with the center of the torque tube and the other end is centered on the trailing edge. Mark
the chord line by grease pencil or other means on the rib. Remove the straightedge.

(2) Fit correct size bolts in the outboard and center hinge brackets and mount the rudder on the knife
edges. Ensure that it is free to rotate about the hinge line.

(3) Place a small platform scale under the trailing edge if the control surface is tail-heavy or under the
leading edge if it is nose-heavy.

(4) Place the upper end of the spindle under the trailing edge of tail-heavy surfaces or under the
leading edge of the nose-heavy surfaces. The spindle must be vertical throughout the balancing
procedure. Hold a spirit level against the marked chord line and level it by extending or contracting
the spindle, or by using blocks and shims under the spindle.

(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction on
the beam balance.

(6) Calculate the static underbalance moment M from the formula:

M = D (R-T) inch-pounds where, D = Perpendicular distance from the hinge center line to the
spindle point (inches).
R = Reaction (pounds) read from the beam balance.
T = Tare, i.e. spindle plus leveling blocks or shims on the scale platform (pounds).
EXAMPLE
D is 13.8 inches, R is 1.490 lbs and T = 1.000 lbs
M = 13.8 (1.490-1.000); M = 6.76 inch-pounds.
M is within the prescribed range which is satisfactory.
The complete painted rudder assembly with the tab, tab pushrod, static wicks, hinge clevises,
bonding jumper and hardware, must fall within the range of 3.55 pound-inches to 9.55
pound-inches tail heavy. If the static balance is not as noted, adjustment weights must be added or
removed and the balance rechecked to bring the rudder balance within the required limits.

C. Equipment Required to Perform Check Balancing by Counterbalancing Method


(1) A stand with knife-edge supports (Ref. Figure 201). The knife edges should be in the same
horizontal plane.

(2) A paper cup or similar lightweight container.

(3) Approximately 2 pound of lead shot.

(4) A certified beam balance weighing device calibrated in units of 0.01 pound or less.

(5) A straightedge, ruler, and spirit level.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

D. Counterbalancing Method
(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the lower closure rib of the rudder so that one
end is aligned with the center of the torque tube while the other end is centered on the trailing
edge. Mark the chord line with a suitable marker, such as a grease pencil, then remove the straight
edge.

(2) Secure the trim tab in its neutral position with a small piece of masking tape.

(3) Fit the correct sized bolts in the hinge brackets and mount the rudder on the knife-edge supports.
Ascertain that the elevator is free to rotate about the hinge line.

(4) To determine if adjustment weights should be added or removed, suspend a paper cup from a
point near the center of the leading edge. Use a short length of small diameter string secured to
the surface with a small piece of masking tape (Ref. Figure 201). The cup must be free to hang
vertically.

(5) Add small quantities of lead shot to the cup until the rudder balances with the chord line level.
Check this by holding the spirit level aligned with the marked chord line.

(6) Carefully measure the perpendicular distance D within 0.1 inch from the hinge centerline to the
point of suspension of the cup.

(7) Remove the cup, contents, and string, then weigh them to within 0.05-pound.

NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance D, weighing is most important and
must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.

(8) Calculate the static balance as follows:

(a) The weight of the cup and contents is designated by W.

(b) The distance between the center line of the hinge and the suspension point of the cup is
designated by D.

(c) The over or underbalance moment is designated by M.

(d) M = W x D

The following is a typical example of a balancing calculation: Assume the rudder was slightly
underbalance (tail heavy) and the paper cup was suspended from the leading edge. If the rudder
balances with the chord line level at W = 0.650 pounds and D = 12.5 inches, then...
M = 0.650 x 12.5
M = 8.12 pound-inches
In this instance, M is within the required static balance range and is therefore acceptable.
The complete painted rudder assembly with the tab, tab pushrod, static wicks, hinge clevises,
bonding jumper and hardware, must fall within the range of 3.55 pound-inches to 9.55
pound-inches tailheavy. If the static balance is not as noted, adjustment weights must be added or
removed and the balance rechecked to bring the rudder balance within the required limits.

NOTE: Install the P/N 101-630017-1 adjustment weights as necessary to obtain the required
balance. Use a maximum of 7 at the root rib and a maximum of 7 at Cant Station 34.59.
One P/N 114-630020-7 weight must be installed between the head of the bolt and stack of
101-630017-1 adjustment weights at each location. Nut plates are located on the rib to
anchor the attaching screws. Refer to Table 201 for screw sizes.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PLASTIC WINDOWS

A. Cleaning
The plastic windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches and crazing,
wash the windows carefully with plenty of soap and running water.
CAUTION: When washing the windows, do not use water from a bucket or pail. Sand, dirt particles or
other debris may collect in the standing water and cause scratches in the plastic.
Use the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may be
used only for the purpose of carrying water to the surface of the window. After washing, rinse the
window thoroughly with running water and dry it with a clean, moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic
window with a dry cloth, because this will cause an electrostatic charge which attracts dust.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene (49, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), solvent
(54, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or hexane (51, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), then rinse the window with
clear water.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, benzene, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher or
anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner, or glass cleaner with a base of these materials, for such
materials will soften the plastic and may cause crazing. Aliphatic naphtha and similar
solvents are highly flammable and extreme care must be exercised when using these
chemicals.
If using a commercial cleaner to clean the plastic windows, use only cleaners that are approved by
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. There are several cleaners available commercially that state that they
are approved for use on acrylic surfaces; however, it has been discovered that some of these cleaners
cause acrylic plastic to craze. Only the following product is approved as a cleaner for acrylic plastic
windows: Federal Specification P-P-560, Tend Plastic Cleaner and Polish, Loctite plastic cleaner P/N
30559 or Clearview plastic cleaner P/N AVL-CV-16 (48, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Follow the
directions on the container.
After washing plastic windows with soap and water, apply a good grade of commercial wax. The wax
will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratches. Apply a thin, even coat of wax and bring it
to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Never use a power buffer, as the
heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.
If the windows were cleaned with the commercial cleaner mentioned previously, it will not be necessary
to apply wax. This cleaner contains wax, as well as cleaning agents.

2. WINDSHIELDS

A. Cleaning
Glass windshields with antistatic coating should be cleaned as follows:
CAUTION: When washing the windshield, do not use water from a bucket or pail. Sand, dirt particles or
other debris may collect in the standing water and cause scratches in the glass.

(1) Wash excessive dirt and other substances from the glass with clean water.

Page 201
56-00-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Clean the windshield with mild soap and water or with a 50/50 solution of solvent (30, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) and water. Wipe the glass surface in a straight rubbing motion with a soft cloth
or sponge. Never use any abrasive materials or any strong acids or bases to clean the glass.

(3) Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry, but do not apply wax.

3. WINDOWS

A. Removing Paint
(1) Mask the acrylic crew compartment side windows and the paint on the airplane skin to prevent
damage from solvent.

CAUTION: The acrylic side windows are extremely susceptible to damage from solvents. To
prevent damage, use care not to contact the acrylic windows, or the airplane paint
with the methyl propyl ketone or other solvent. To avoid damage to the window
anti-static coating, never use any rubbing compound or polish, or any substance
containing acid, on the windshield.

(2) If the paint on the window is dry, contact Hawker Beechcraft Corporation Technical Support for
consultation.

(3) If the paint on the window is still wet, use a clean, soft cloth dampened with solvent (14, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) to remove the paint. Wipe the glass surface in a straight rubbing motion. Never
use any abrasive materials or acids to remove the paint.

(4) Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry, but do not apply wax.

4. WINDOW INSPECTION AND REPAIR PROCEDURES

A. Flight Compartment, Cabin, and Baggage Windows


The two most forward cabin windows of the airplane are made of a fail safe, multi-ply stretched acrylic
material. Inspect these windows for deep scratches, chips, excessive crazing, and all other evidence of
damage (Ref. Figures 201 and 202). Refer to Table 201 for damage types and recommended action. A
preflight inspection should be conducted by the pilot to disclose any possible condition that could
warrant further inspection as noted above.
The remaining cabin windows and the flight compartment side and storm windows are made of a
single-ply stretched acrylic material. These windows are life limited. Refer to 1900 Airliner Series
Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00. Inspect the windows for
deep scratches, chips, excessive crazing and all other evidence of damage (Ref. Figures 201 and 202).
Refer to Table 202 for types of damage and recommended action. A preflight inspection should be
conducted by the pilot to disclose any possible condition that could warrant further inspection as
previously noted.

B. Acrylic Window Refurbishing Procedure


Table 201 and Table 202 outline the types and limits of window damage which may be repaired utilizing
this procedure. If any unusual conditions are found that are not covered in Table 201 and Table 202,
contact the Technical Support Department of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation for consultation. Use of
this procedure is prohibited except as specifically instructed by Table 201 and Table 202 or by the
Technical Support Department of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Only experienced personnel should perform repair work on Plexiglas windows.
The flight compartment side windows may be reduced by a total of 0.015 inch from the original
thickness of 0.312 inch.
The single-ply cabin side windows may be reduced by a total of 0.015 inch from the original
thickness of 0.188 inch.
The multi-ply cabin side windows may be reduced by a total of 0.015 inch from the original
thickness 0.195 inch.

(1) Mask off any major portions of the window which are not involved in the refurbishing.

(2) Use wet abrasives only.

(3) Flush the window surface with a liberal amount of water after using each abrasive grade.

(4) Use a straight-line sanding motion and alternate the line of sanding at right angles to cross the
sanding pattern.

(5) Gradually lighten the working pressure on the abrasive as each finer grade is utilized. Do not exert
excessive force on the window pane.

(6) Work a marginally larger area as each finer abrasive is used. Completely remove each previous
sanding pattern before moving to the next finer abrasive.

(7) Do not overheat the acrylic window.

NOTE: Depending on the depth of the scratch, the repair may start at any of the following Steps.

(8) Start the refurbishing procedure with 240 grit wet/dry silicon carbide cloth or equivalent and an
orbital sander. Use this combination until all traces of the damage have been removed.

(9) Use a 320 grit wet/dry silicon carbide cloth with the orbital sander and work the window until the
240 grit pattern has been removed.

(10) Repeat Step (9) using 400 grit, 600 grit, 1800 grit, 2400 grit, 3200 grit, 4000 grit, and 6000 grit
silicon carbide cloth in succession.

(11) Finish the refurbishing procedure using an 8000 grit cushioned abrasive cloth or cerium oxide.

(12) Inspect the finished window to ensure that all damage and grit patterns have been removed
(Ref. Figure 201).

(13) When satisfied that the window has been properly refurbished, apply a small amount of antistatic
cleaner or wax to the window and buff to a high luster. For removal of minor crazing or scratches,
the Plexiglas scratch remover (50, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is recommended.

1. GENERAL

A. Storm Window Seals


The primary seal for the storm window is installed onto the inner surface of the fuselage pan assembly.
The seal performs two functions: it keeps the cabin pressure from escaping during flight and prevents
water from entering the cockpit when the airplane is parked.
A newer style storm window includes a secondary seal. This secondary seal is installed on the outer
surface of the window and mates up against the primary seal. The secondary seal is designed to
increase contact pressure and friction on the primary seal, providing improved noise reduction and leak
prevention. This secondary seal can be installed to existing storm windows as required. Although the
secondary seal is designed to improve the sealing of the storm window, it is possible that in some
installations the secondary seal may actually worsen the seal or increase noise. Because of this, the
secondary seal should be considered optional and may be removed if desired.

B. Windshield Surface Seal Coating


PPG offers the Surface Seal© Coating System, which includes customized kits for coating application,
refurbishing and efficiency measurement. The DSS1040 Master Kits contain reusable equipment,
replenishable supplies for approximately 10 windshields and chemicals to coat 2 windshields. The
DSS1015 Application Kits (Kit A) contains supplies and chemicals to coat 1 windshield. The DSS1027
Master Kit Refill contains replenishable supplies to prepare approximately 10 windshields, less the
Surface Seal© preparation and coating solutions. The DSS2000 and DSS2999 Curing Kits contain
protective films and customized heating blankets.
All part number 101-384025-17/-18 and subsequent windshields have the Surface Seal© Coating
System protection applied. For inspection and application refer to the Model 1900 Airliner Series
Component Maintenance Manual, Chapter 56.

1. WINDSHIELD

A. Removal
(1) Cut the sealing compound free from the retainer strip and window frame.

(2) Remove the screws at the front of the windshield.

(3) Inside the flight compartment, remove the screw that secures the ground jumper wire at the
outboard corner of the windshield and detach the power supply lead from the electrothermal
windshield at the corner post. Gently push the windshield panels outward one at a time.

NOTE: During removal/cleaning of fiberglass windshield retainer frames, spacer bushings may
fall out. Retain all spacer bushings if using fiberglass windshield retainer frames. Metal
windshield retainer frames do not require the use of spacer bushings.

(4) Pull the rubber seal and rubber filler free from the window frame and channel.

(5) Scrape away any remnants of sealing compound, filler or seal that may have adhered to the
window frame.

(6) Wash the window frame and channel with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

B. Installation
Proper performance of this procedure should ensure a stress-free windshield installation. Kit No.
101-5041-1 provides the parts and detailed instructions for installation of both windshields. Kit No.
101-5041-3 provides the parts and detailed instructions for installation of either windshield. The
windshields are not part of the kits. In the event of conflict between the procedures in this manual and
the instructions provided with the kits, the kits instructions should be followed.
Prior to installing the windshield, inspect the windshield frames for old sealer or other obstructions that
could cause the windshield to bind or seat improperly. Check all windshield mounting holes with a screw
to ensure that all nutplates are in alignment and undamaged. It is recommended that the heating
element and temperature sensor resistance of the new windshield be checked (Ref. Chapter 30-40-00,
WINDSHIELD HEATING ELEMENTS RESISTANCE CHECK).
NOTE: After mixing the sealer used to install the windshield, two people must work constantly to
complete the installation of the windshield before the sealer sets up.

(1) Mask off the exterior area around the windshields with masking tape. Mask off the nutplates by
covering the screw holes on the inside of the windshield frames with masking tape.

(2) Cover any exposed windshield glass with masking tape. Press the masking tape around each of
the countersunk holes. Cut the masking tape from the countersink of each screw hole with a sharp
knife until all masking tape has been removed from the screw holes.

(3) Trim the excess protective paper from the inside of the windshield along the raised lip.

Page 201
56-10-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Install the AN-15A bolts (10 places) through holes 5, 7 and 12 on the top and bottom and through
holes 4 and 10 on each side of the windshield (Ref. Figure 201). Tape the bolt shanks to hold them
in place with the bolt heads against the inside surface of the windshield.

(5) Fabricate four guide pins by cutting the heads from 3 inch long AN3 bolts. Insert a guide pin and
secure it in place in hole 1 at the top and bottom of the frame for each windshield half.

(6) Using the guide pins for alignment, carefully center the windshield in the frame as evenly as
possible. Check for a minimum clearance of 0.020 inch between the inside glass and the lower
frame member. If necessary, place a shim (drill rod or drill shank of sufficient diameter) between
the edge of the inside glass and the frame near the lower guide pin. Mark the location of the shim
for future reference. If the required clearance cannot be maintained, or interference between the
windshield and adjacent structure is encountered, contact Beechcraft Corporation Product
Support.

(7) With the windshield centered, use a 3 inch long straightedge to match the contour of the
windshield with that of the windshield frame. If the windshield rocks on the bolt heads, center the
windshield as evenly as possible to equalize the free play. Mark at least four places (one or more
on at least three edges) where the exterior surface of the airplane is level with the metal retaining
ring of the windshield. If there are not four places that are level, mark the places where the
contours most nearly match and identify them as high or low in inches as measured.

(8) Remove the windshield from the windshield frame. Remove the ten bolts taped to the windshield.
Remove the shims (if installed in Step (6)). Do not remove the guide pins from the windshield
frame.

(9) Using solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), clean the contact surfaces of the windshield frame
and the new silicone seals. The 50-420066-341 silicone seals are to be applied to the sides and
centers of the windshield frame, the 50-420066-343 seals to the bottom and the 50-420066-345
seals to the top.

(10) Glue the silicone seals flush with the inside periphery of the windshield frame with silicone
adhesive (57, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). The ends of the dam material used at the corners
should be butted together snugly.

(11) The 50-420066-347 sponge rubber strips are to be applied to the sides and center of the
windshield, the 50-420066-349 strips to the bottom, and the 50-420066-351 strips to the top. Apply
a 0.25 inch wide strip of adhesive (16, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the inside periphery of the
sponge rubber strips and apply a similar strip of cement to the windshield between the screw holes
and inside periphery of the windshield where the glass thickens. Glue the sponge rubber strips to
the windshield by matching the cement strip on the rubber to the cement strip on the windshield
glass.

(12) Trim the sponge rubber strips on the ends so that the ends are butted against each other. Trim the
outer edge of the sponge rubber strips until a 0.064 inch overlap is maintained around the
periphery of the windshield.

(13) Fabricate a hollow drill by sharpening one end of a piece of steel tubing with an inside diameter of
0.064 inch. Cut the tubing to the proper length. Fabricate a drill bushing from a 2 to 3 inch length of
aluminum tubing having an outside diameter that will fit freely into the screw holes in the
windshield and an inside diameter sufficient for insertion and rotation of the drill tube just
fabricated. Insert the fabricated drill and bushing into a screw hole of the windshield to ensure that
the drill will not bind in the windshield mounting holes.

Page 202
Nov 1/13 56-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(14) Using the hollow drill with a block of wood as a backup, drill out all the screw mounting holes
through the sponge rubber strips. It may become necessary to punch out the accumulated rubber
from inside the drill.

(15) Mix approximately 1,200 grams of sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Apply a 0.25 inch deep bead of sealer around the periphery of
the windshield frame in the valley between the silicone rubber seals and the frame.

CAUTION: Fiberglass windshield retainer frames require spacer bushings to prevent attaching
screws from collapsing the fiberglass frame on installation, which may cause the
windshield to crack some time later. Metal windshield retainer frames do not require
the use of spacer bushings.

(16) Using the guide pins installed in Step (5) for alignment, carefully position the windshield in the
frame. Replace the shims removed in Step (8) between the windshield and frame. The shims are
to remain in place until the sealer is completely cured. Start, but do not tighten, all screws in the
open mounting holes. To facilitate installation of the screws through the rubber seals, lubricate all
the screw threads with liquid soap. When installing the screws, carefully note the depth to which
the screws penetrate the frame before actually entering the nut plate. In areas where the
windshield will remain high after installation, screws with a longer grip length will be required. This
can be gaged by visually comparing the amount these screws protrude above the frame after the
marked screws are tightened. As a general rule, holes where the windshield is more than
1/16-inch above contour will require the longer screws.

(17) Tighten the screws at the locations marked in Step (7) until the windshield is positioned for the
contour match as marked. Do not tighten any of the remaining screws.

(18) Remove the guide pins and install screws in the guide pin holes. Tighten all screws only
sufficiently to seat the screw heads in the countersunk holes of the retainer. Do not tighten the
screws as this could create stress by pulling the windshield tighter into the frame. After these
screws have been seated into the countersinks, the screws tightened in the previous Step should
still be seated and snug against the retainer.

(19) Mask off all screw heads with masking tape and smooth and fair the sealer between the
windshield and windshield frame. Liquid soap may be used to facilitate smoothing the sealer.
Remove the masking tape and clean up the area when the smoothing and fairing process has
been completed.

NOTE: Following windshield replacement, the aircraft may continue operation Unpressurized,
while the sealer achieves a final cure. To allow continued operation, prior to final cure
follow Step (20) without deviation, otherwise proceed to Step (21).

(20) The sealant must be in a setting stage (usually 1 to 2 hours after application). Ensure adjacent
surfaces are clean and free of any oily film and apply aluminum speed tape (187, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) as follows:

CAUTION: The 2 inch wide tape must be applied evenly, centered on the seal. This refers to the
seal between the windshield frame and the airframe. By following this procedure the
tape cannot come in contact with the windshield glass. Under no circumstance must
the tape be allowed to contact the windshield glass.

(a) Adhere the tape evenly paying particular attention to edge sealing.

NOTE: Flight altitude temperatures may be different than ground or hanger temperatures
and must be considered when calculating cure time requirements. The aircraft can
be pressurized and tape removed when the appropriate cure time has been
achieved.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to pressurize the cabin or tighten the screws until the sealer has
completely cured.

(b) When sealant cure time is achieved, proceed to Step (22) to complete the windshield
installation.

NOTE: For every 10°F rise in temperature above 77°F, reduce the cure time by half; for
every 10°F below 77°F, double the cure time.
The cure time of the sealer can be accelerated through the use of heat lamps or
circulation of warm air. Do not allow the temperature to exceed 140°F.

(21) Allow sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to cure for 30 hours or more as required at an
ambient temperature of 77°F, at 50% humidity.

(22) After the required cure time has elapsed, torque the windshield mounting screws to 20 inch
pounds. After torquing, check all screws to ensure the countersunk heads are properly seated and
that all screws are tight. If shims were used between the windshield and frame, remove them and
fill the gap with sealer.

(23) Touch-up paint in the windshield area as required. Paint the windshield retainer in the following
manner:

CAUTION: Never use aluminum foil to mask electrothermal windshields during painting. Most
metal brighteners will combine with aluminum to form a hydrogen gas that corrodes
the stannous oxide used as an antistatic coating on the windshields.

(a) Mask the windshield and surrounding structure with paper or pasteboard masking material.

(b) Remove the old paint with paint stripper (8, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(c) Sand the windshield retainer with 120 to 280 grit paper to remove the original anodized
coating.

(d) Clean the sanded retainer with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to remove any
residue.

(e) Prime the retainer with primer (5, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

(f) Paint the windshield retainer with the appropriate color urethane paint (6, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00).

(24) Attach the ground jumper wire at the outboard corner of the windshield and connect the power
supply lead at the windshield corner post.

2. WINDSHIELD WEATHER SEAL INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

A. Seal Inspection
Inspect the weather seal between the glass and windshield retainer at the intervals specified
(Ref. Chapter 05-20-00, CONTINUOUS INSPECTION SCHEDULE).

(1) Turn off all electrical power to the airplane.

NOTE: The entire weather seal should be inspected to determine if it is well bonded to glass and
retainer surfaces. If there is evidence that portions of the seal can be lifted with finger or
spatula pressure, the seal must be repaired or replaced. If the Hump Seal is damaged, a
temporary repair (good for 7 days) can be made. This temporary repair will allow the
operator to fly the airplane until it can be scheduled into maintenance such that either the
hump seal repair or hump seal replacement can be carried out. Refer to the TEMPORARY
HUMP SEAL REPAIR procedure. It is essential that repairs are made as needed to
ensure maximum windshield service life.

(2) Thoroughly inspect the weather seal for debonding, cracks, or deterioration. Particular attention
should be given to areas eroded by the wiper blades along the top and bottom of the windshield.
To ensure the windshield is serviceable if the seal is damaged or debonded, refer to WINDSHIELD
REPLACEMENT CRITERIA for moisture damage. If no moisture damage is noted you may either
repair or replace the hump seal. Refer to Step (3) below.

NOTE: Weather seals made from silicone material must be repaired with sealer (38, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00). Weather seals made from polysulfide material must be repaired with
sealer (124, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). It is easy to distinguish the difference between
the seal material used. The silicone seal will be flush with the windshield and the frame
surface and will appear translucent white or a milky color. The polysulfide seals will be
humped over the seal area and appear either gray or black depending on the date of
manufacture.

(3) To repair silicone seals, refer to SILICONE SEAL REPAIR. Replace the hump seal using Seal Kit
No. 101-5172-1 (LH) or -2 (RH), or repair (Ref. HUMP SEAL REPAIR/REPLACEMENT).

NOTE: It is acceptable to repair or replace existing gray or black hump seals, or to replace gray
hump seals with black hump seals on all 1900 Airliner models except for some very old
models that do not have the latest windshield design. All hump seals are to be installed
per kit instructions.

B. Silicone Seal Repair


(1) Turn off all electrical power to the airplane.

CAUTION: To prevent scratches, nicks, or cracks to the windshield, do not use a metallic scraper
when removing old sealant material.

(2) Carefully remove any damaged or deteriorated sealant.

(3) Clean the damaged area of the seal with solvent (54, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Wipe with a
clean, dry cloth before the solvent evaporates.

Page 206
Nov 1/13 56-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Apply sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the damaged area until flush with the existing
surface and overlapping the windshield and retainer by 0.125 to 0.250 inch. Smooth sealer to
match the original contour. Liquid soap may be used to smooth sealer.

NOTE: At 75°F with 50% relative humidity, sealer (38, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) is tack free in 8
hours. Cure time is 30 hours. For every 10°F rise in temperature (to a maximum of 140°F)
the cure time is cut in half. For every 10°F decrease the cure time is doubled.

(5) Allow the sealer to cure before flight or perform Step (20) of WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.

C. Temporary Hump Seal Repair (UB-1 thru UB-74 and UC-1 thru UC-174)
NOTE: This is a temporary hump seal repair and may be used for a maximum of 7 days. After which
time, a permanent repair must be accomplished.
The aluminum speed tape should be only wide enough to ensure full coverage over the
channel between the glass and the frame to prevent the ingression of moisture.

(1) Apply aluminum speed tape (187, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) to the outside periphery of the
windshield. There are no tape length limitations.

D. Hump Seal Repair/Replacement


NOTE: This procedure applies to installed windshields that have hump seals as the primary weather
seal between the glass and retainer. The seals will be either gray or black depending on the
date of manufacture.

(1) Turn off all electrical power to the airplane.

CAUTION: To prevent scratches, nicks or cracks to the windshield, use extreme care if using
metallic tools to remove old sealant material.

(2) Apply masking material to the outer surface of the windshield leaving 1 1/2 inches of exposed
glass along the glass edge interface.

CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken if removing sealant along the bottom of the windshield.
Antistatic grounding tabs are located as shown (Ref. Figure 202).
Be careful not to abrade or scratch the outer glass ply surface with the Scotch-Brite
pad or sandpaper.

(3) With a single-edge razor blade held at a very shallow angle, carefully remove any damaged or
deteriorated sealant. This can be made easier by slightly bending the razor blade at the center to
ensure the corners do not scratch or cut into the outboard glass surface. All sealant can be
removed from the windshield surface with the razor blade. The small amount of sealant that
remains on the retainer can be removed using: 80 grit sandpaper on fiberglass frames, or a
Scotch-Brite pad (150, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) soaked in solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) on metal frames. Clean a small area at a time, followed by alcohol rinse (30, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00), then dry with a clean cloth. Discard soiled cloths regularly to prevent
redepositing contaminants. Sealant in the gap between the windshield and retainer does not need
to be removed and it is permissible to leave a small amount of sealant on the antistatic tabs.

CAUTION: In Step (4), ensure a slurry is maintained. Rubbing the windshield with dry cleanser
will scratch the windshield.

Page 207
56-10-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Soak cheese cloth with water and using a slurry of cleanser (149, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and
water, polish the glass surface by hand only in the repair area where the seal material will be
applied until a water-break free surface is observed (a water-break free surface completely wets or
sheets over the glass with no sign of drawing up into droplets showing dry areas in between).
Achieving a water-break free surface is critical to insure adhesion of sealant to the outer glass
surface.

(5) After a water-break free surface is obtained, clean the entire area with solvent (30, Table 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) and allow to air dry.

(6) Mark the retainer in the repair area to match the outer edge of the remaining seal and mark the
windshield in the repair area to match the inner edge of the remaining seal. Apply 1 inch masking
tape along the marks on the retainer and along the marks on the windshield (you may use several
layers of tape to form an edge to guide the hump seal forming tool). The area left open should
match the original area where the hump seal was. Ensure the remaining area of glass (daylight
opening) is masked to protect the glass surface during the repair operation.

(7) Wet a piece of clean cheese cloth with primer (151, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and in one
smooth, continuous motion apply a thin coat of primer to the surface of the windshield and
retainer. The primer should dry clear. If a haze, or streaks appear, repeat Steps (3) thru (6) and
apply primer.

(8) Mix sealant (124, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) per manufacturers instructions. Using a plastic
spatula, apply sealant to repair area.

(9) Using the hump seal tool (make from 2 inch plastic spatula or equivalent by filing the contour of the
original hump seal into the flat edge), form the hump seal, matching the contour of the existing
weather seal as closely as possible.

(10) Blend the ends of the repair area to match the existing seal by rubbing very lightly with a cellulose
sponge saturated with water.

(11) After the seal is formed, immediately remove the 1 inch masking tape while the sealant is wet.

(12) Smooth the surface of the sealant by rubbing the surface of the sealant very lightly and briskly with
a cellulose sponge saturated with water.

(13) Allow sealant to cure. Cure time reference is based on 75°F and 50% relative humidity. For every
10°F to 15°F rise in temperature (to a maximum of 140°F), the cure time is cut in half. For every
10°F to 15°F decrease in temperature, cure time is doubled. Sealant (124, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00) is tack free in 8 hours; full cure time is 30 hours.

(14) After sealant is cured, remove masking and clean as necessary. Inspect for voids and repair as
necessary.

3. WINDSHIELD

A. Replacement Criteria
The electrically heated laminated glass windshield is subject to a gradual process of delamination due
to the effect of chemical action and differentials of temperature and pressure incurred during
pressurized flights at varying altitudes and under varying weather conditions. This delamination is not
detrimental to the structural integrity of the windshield, although it may significantly decrease visibility or
the deicing capability of the windshield. Beyond certain limits, either of these effects will require the

Page 208
Nov 1/13 56-10-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

replacement of the windshield. The following information is provided to evaluate the condition of the
windshield. Refer to the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133,
Chapter 04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
.

(1) Visibility Impairment: Replace the windshield when areas of delamination are enlarged to the
point of impairing vision, whether or not these areas extend to the edge of the glass. Smaller
delamination appearing as bubbles is no cause for concern. The rate of growth of delaminated
areas should be used as a guide for scheduling windshield replacement.

(2) Heating Impairment Limits: Replace the windshield when the lost heating area exceeds 1/4 to
1/3 of the total heated area.

(3) Cracked Glass:

(a) Applicable to P/N 114-384020-3/4/5/6 Both glass plies are chemically strengthened and are
structural plies. Depending on the stress level on the glass at the time of fracture, the break
pattern will generally be of relatively large size fragments adhered to the interlayer. Refer to
the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter
04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.

(b) Applicable to P/N 101-384025-(all dash numbers) If the outboard glass ply should fracture,
the break pattern will generally be of relatively large in size fragments adhered to the
interlayer. If the inboard glass ply should fracture, the break pattern will generally be of small
size fragments adhered to the interlayer. Refer to the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness
Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED
WINDSHIELD.

(c) Cracking of the interlayer is usually located in the PPG112 interlayer. Cracking is caused by
moisture attacking the interlayer and causing the interlayer to degrade. The manufacturer
recommends the same criteria be used for this defect as is currently applied to delamination.

(4) Scratches:

(a) Applicable to P/N 114-384020-3/4/5/6 Scratches or nicks on either surface as deep as


0.005 inch are considered acceptable as long as vision is not seriously impaired. Scratches
deeper than 0.005 inch require the windshield to be replaced. Refer to the 1900 Airliner
Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.

(b) Applicable to P/N 101-384025-(all dash numbers) There are no limits on these defects for
this part numbered windshields as long as vision is not seriously impaired. Refer to the 1900
Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.

(5) Glass Adhesion Chips: Glass adhesion chips can occur on the inboard surface of the outer ply,
or the outboard surface of the inner ply. Chips are caused by the vinyl interlayer pulling glass out
of the glass surface and usually form at or near the glass edge. The chip will continue to
expand/propagate until the stress that caused the chip is relieved. A chip in a non-structural ply is
not cause for windshield replacement unless vision is seriously impaired. A chip in a structural ply
causes major glass strength reduction, and is cause for windshield replacement. Refer to the 1900
Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.

Page 209
56-10-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(6) Moisture Damage: The primary cause of moisture ingress is a deteriorated weather seal.
Moisture ingress caused by a deteriorated weather seal will eventually lead to one or all of the
following windshield degradation modes:

(a) Delamination between the glass and PVB interlayer (Separation between glass and
interlayer characterized by a separation line with a different reflection characteristic on each
side of the line). (Ref. Visibility Impairment).

(b) Corrosion of the bus bar - heating wire junctions (black spots at the bus bar - heating wires
interface).

(c) Failure of the electric heating system (lost heating area exceeds 1/4 or 1/3 of the total heated
area). (Refer to Heating Impairment Limits).

(d) Outer glass ply fracture (Ref. Cracked Glass).

If the windshield is severely degraded due to any or all of the above conditions, the useful
service life is limited and is cause for windshield replacement. Refer to the 1900 Airliner
Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.

4. ANTISTATIC TAB

A. Installation (Aluminum Frames)


NOTE: Kit No. 90-5048-1S provides the parts to install two new removable type antistatic tabs on the
removable or bonded tab windshields.

(1) Remove the existing antistatic tab from windshields that have removable tabs (Ref. Figure 202).
Clean the windshield glass with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). A wood or plastic scraper
may be used to aid in removing the sealer.

(2) Center the new antistatic tab on the mark on the windshield retainer that tested 100 megohms or
less in ten different locations. A 0.59 inch section of the antistatic tab must cover the windshield
glass. Mark the antistatic tab top end at a point 0.5 inch from the outer side of the windshield
retainer. Drill a 0.098 inch diameter hole through each side of the tab (Ref. Figure 203).

(3) Using the two holes drilled in the antistatic tab as a guide, mark the windshield retainer.

(4) Drill two 0.0935-inch diameter holes at the marks on the windshield retainer. Vacuum the area to
remove the debris created by the drilling operation.

(5) Tap the two holes in the windshield retainer with a No. 4-48 flat bottom tap.

NOTE: If the windshield frame is buffed, buff the antistatic tabs before installation.

(6) Attach the antistatic tab to the windshield with two MS35207-212 screws furnished with the kit.
Mask off the antistatic tab with masking tape so that, when the tab is removed, the periphery of the
tab location will be outlined by the tape. Remove the antistatic tab and lightly sand the bottom end.
Sand the windshield retainer until bare metal is exposed.

(7) Clean inside the masked off area with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and apply a strip of
electrical conductive tape (143, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) approximately 1.125 inches long.
Center the tape in the masked off area. Install 0.47 inch of the conductive tape on the windshield
glass (Ref. Figure 203). Press the electrical conductive tape down with finger pressure only.

(8) Clean the bottom surface of the antistatic tab and the top surface of the electrical conductive tape
with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). Apply an electrical conductive sealant, such as
sealer (144, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00), to the top surface of the electrical conductive tape.

(9) Install the antistatic tab on the windshield retainer, sealant should flow from under the edges of the
tab. If the sealant does not flow out around the tab, remove the tab and apply additional sealer.

NOTE: Do not press on top of the tab in an attempt to squeeze out the sealer.

(10) Remove tape from around the antistatic tab and allow sealant to cure as recommended by the
product instructions.

(11) Mask off the four sides of the tab, leaving 0.0937 inch clearance between the edge of the masking
tape and the edge of the tab. Mask off the top surface of the antistatic tab. Do not mask the area
between the masking tape and the tab.

(12) Apply adhesive (145, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or equivalent to the four sides of the antistatic
tab to provide a weather seal. Remove the masking tape and allow the adhesive to cure as
recommended by the manufacturer’s instructions.

(13) If necessary, paint the antistatic tab to match the finish on the windshield retainer frame. Do not
buff the tab after installation on the airplane.

(14) Clean the windshield (Ref. 56-00-00, CLEANING WINDSHIELDS).

5. WINDSHIELD ANTISTATIC COATING AND TAB

A. Inspection (Aluminum Frames)


Inspect the electrically heated windshields as specified in Chapter 05-20-00.

(1) Turn off all electrical power and disconnect the battery.

(2) Clean the exterior of the windshield glass with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the windshield, refer to CLEANING WINDSHIELDS in


56-00-00.
NOTE: A megometer capable of reading 100,000,000 ohms (100 megohms) will be required for
the following inspection.

(3) Set the megometer range dial on 100M and adjust the needle reading to zero.

(4) If necessary, the finish may be removed from a spot on the windshield frame to expose bare metal
to be used as a ground point.

(5) Attach one test lead to the bare metal on the windshield frame. Attach the other test lead to a
copper wire mesh pad, such as a Brillo scrub pad.

(6) Contact the windshield glass with the wire mesh pad. Check the meter reading. If the meter
reading is 0 to 100 megohms in at least 10 different locations, no further action is required. If the
finish was removed from a spot on the windshield frame for this test, repaint the spot to match the
surrounding finish.

NOTE: Resistance between the windshield and windshield frame should not exceed 100
megohms. Consistency in the readings is desirable.

(7) If the megometer reading is more than 100 megohms, proceed with the following Steps:

NOTE: Do not remove the windshield from the airplane as a result of this inspection. Contact the
Customer Support Department of Beechcraft Corporation for consultation.

(8) If some of the readings were more than 100 megohms, draw a diagram noting the locations of the
excessive readings, and contact the Customer Support Department of Beechcraft Corporation for
consultation.

(9) If all the megometer readings were more than 100 megohms, perform the following antistatic tab
inspection Steps:

(a) Remove the megometer test lead from the wire mesh pad.

(b) Place the megometer test lead on the windshield glass within 0.50 inch of the antistatic tab.
Do not press down on the antistatic tab during this inspection.

(c) If the meter reading is 10 megohms or less as the lead is drawn around the antistatic tab, the
antistatic tab is providing sufficient electrical continuity between the windshield retainer and
the antistatic coating on the windshield glass. If the meter reading is more than 10 megohms,
continue with the following Steps.

Page 213

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: During the following test, ensure that the hands and body are completely insulated
from the airplane, windshield, and meter probes. If more than one antistatic tab is
installed, check each tab.

(d) Connect the meter test leads to wire mesh pads. Place one pad within 0.50 inch of the
antistatic tab. Place the other wire mesh pad in 10 different locations on the windshield and
note the resistance readings. If the 10 resistance readings are 100 megohms or less, a new
antistatic tab must be installed.

(10) If intermittent readings of 100 megohms or less were indicated, repeat Step (9). If all resistance
readings were more than 100 megohms, proceed with the following Steps:

(a) Move the megometer test lead and pad approximately four inches away from the edge of the
antistatic tab and within 0.25 inch of the windshield retainer. Hold the pad stationary on the
windshield glass.

(b) Place the other pad and test lead in 10 different locations on the windshield and note the
resistance readings.

(c) Place a mark on the windshield retainer in the vicinity of the stationary pad. At the mark, write
the number of resistance readings that were 100 megohms or less. If all ten resistance
readings were 100 megohms or less, install a new antistatic tab. Center the new tab on the
mark made on the windshield retainer.

(d) If ten resistance readings of 100 megohms or less were not found, move the ohmmeter test
lead approximately four inches from the previous test point and take an additional ten
resistance readings with the wire mesh pad. The other ohmmeter test lead must remain
within 0.25 inch if the windshield retainer.

(e) Connect the meter test leads to wire mesh pads. Place one pad within 0.50 inch of the
antistatic tab. Place the other wire mesh pad in 10 different locations on the windshield and
note the resistance readings. If the 10 resistance readings are 100 megohms or less, a new
antistatic tab must be installed.

NOTE: If meter readings of 100 megohms were not indicated at any test point, do not
remove the windshield from the airplane until contacting the Customer Support
Department of Beechcraft Corporation for consultation.

(11) Restore electrical power as required.

B. Coating Inspection (Lightweight Fiberglass Frame)


The electrically heated windshields are to be inspected at the interval specified in Chapter 05-20-00.
This inspection may be accomplished as follows:

(1) Turn off all electrical power and disconnect the battery.

(2) Clean the exterior of the windshield glass with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the windshield, use extreme care when cleaning the
windshield glass and performing this inspection. Do not remove the windshield from
the airplane.

Page 214

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Open the nose avionics compartment access door and locate a suitable location to serve as a
grounding point for the volt-ohmmeter test lead.

NOTE: A megometer capable of reading 100,000,000 ohms (100 megohms) will be required for
the following inspection.

(4) Set the range dial on the meter to 100M and adjust the reading needle to zero.

(5) Attach one meter test lead to the ground point inside the nose avionics compartment. Attach the
other test lead to a copper wire mesh pad, such as a Brillo scrub pad.

(6) Contact the windshield glass with the wire mesh pad. Check the meter reading. If the meter
reading is 0 to 100 megohms in at least ten different locations, no further action is required.

NOTE: Resistance between the windshield and ground should not exceed 100 megohms.
Consistency in the readings is desirable.

(7) If the meter reading is more than 100 megohms, check the connection between the anti-static bus
bar and ground. If the connection is not secured properly, or if it is corroded, use appropriate
measures to repair the connection. If the connection is good, the anti-static coating on the
windshield is no longer functioning properly. The windshield must be removed in order to have it
coated or replaced.

(8) Restore electrical power as required.

6. BONDED ANTISTATIC TAB

A. Repair (Aluminum Frames)


Inspect the electrically heated windshields as specified in Chapter 05-20-00.

(1) Tape off an area around the fiberglass cover tab. The area should be large enough to protect the
glass and contain excessive sealant flow.

(2) Using a plastic wedge, gently pry the fiberglass tab away from the windshield surface. Do not
disconnect the tab from the metal edge attachment.

(3) Fold the fiberglass cover tab back over the metal edge attachment and tape it down out of the
work area.

(4) Using a plastic wedge, pry the copper tab away from the windshield surface. Do not break or sever
the braided wire attaching the copper tab. Tape the tab out of the work area.

(5) Gently scrape the sealant from the windshield surface with the plastic wedge.

(6) Remove any residual sealant by rubbing the area with a soft cloth dampened with solvent
(14, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00). The glass may exhibit some staining that cannot be removed;
however, it is not detrimental to the tape bond.

(7) Using a 40 watt pencil type soldering iron, melt the solder attaching the copper tab to the braided
wire and separate the wire from the tab.

(8) Cut a piece of copper foil tape (146, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) 1/2 inch long.

Page 215
56-10-00 Nov 1/13
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(9) Remove the tape backing, being careful not to contaminate the adhesive with body oils or dirt.
Place the copper tape over the area originally used for tab bonding. Rub the tape down to the
surface of the windshield with a plastic wedge.

(10) Position a section of wire solder on the center of the copper tape (installed in the previous Step).
Apply the tip of the pencil soldering iron to the solder just long enough to melt a puddle of solder
with a maximum diameter of 1/8 inch. Remove the soldering iron and the solder simultaneously.

(11) Using tweezers or some other suitable tool, hold the braided wire to the top of the solder spot.
Apply the tip of the soldering iron to the braided wire at the solder spot. Remove the soldering iron
as soon as the solder has blended with the braided wire.

(12) Remove any excess flux with a cotton swab dampened with solvent (14, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). Wipe the interior of the taped-off area with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00).

CAUTION: Use only minimal amounts of solvent and isopropyl alcohol, as either could destroy
the adhesive bond of the copper tape.

(13) Thoroughly clean the bond surface of the fiberglass cover tab with solvent (30, Table 1, Chapter
91-00-00). Using a cotton swab, apply a moderate coat of primer (147, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00)
to the bond surface of the fiberglass cover tab. Allow the primer to dry for approximately two

A. Removal
(1) Remove the headliner from its retainer strip at the top of the window.

NOTE: If the RH window frame is to be removed, remove the screws from the RH circuit breaker
panel and move it slightly away from the upholstery before removing the upholstery panel
from its retainer.

(2) Remove the upholstery panel from its retainer strip at the bottom of the window frame.

(3) Remove the attaching screws from both the upper and lower retainer strips and remove the
retainer strips (Ref. Figure 204).

(4) Remove the bolts and washers from the storm window stop and remove the stop.

(5) Work the plastic window frame away from the airplane structure.

NOTE: The inner window will be removed along with the window frame. If the inner window
requires removal, it may be pressed out of its retaining groove in the plastic window frame
with hand pressure.

(6) Remove the screws from the outer window retainer and remove the retainer.

(7) Carefully remove the outer window from the airplane.

(8) Clean all residual sealer from the inner retainer ring and the outer window frame.

B. Installation
WARNING: Because of manufacturing variables, there may be some dimensional variation in
the flight compartment side window cutouts. These cutouts may be somewhat
larger than standard on some airplanes. A window with standard dimensions must
not be installed in an oversize cutout because the milled shoulder on the standard
window will not be sufficient to assure structural integrity. To determine the correct
replacement window, measure the originally installed window (Ref. Figure 205).

(1) Apply sealant (124, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) around the periphery of the side window frame.

(2) Install a new 90-380030-3 seal around the rim of the window with the sealing ridges on the
outboard side of the window. All surfaces of the seal must lay flat against the window when
installed (Ref. Figure 204).

(3) Position the window in the outer window frame. Ensure that the window is centered in the frame.

(4) Install the metal retainer ring and secure it with the attaching screws.

CAUTION: Use care not to cut or scratch the window pane when cutting away center portion of
window seal.

(5) Using a single-edge razor blade, carefully cut away the center portion of the window seal covering
the outer surface of the window pane. Cut the seal flush with the cutout in the airplane skin.

upholstery retainer strips in place on the window frame and secure each with the attaching screws.

(9) If necessary, install the RH circuit breaker panel and secure it with the attaching screws.

(10) Install the upholstery panel and the headliner in their respective retainer strips.

8. WINDOW ATTACH FRAMES

A. Inspection and Repair


(1) Press on the cabin windows and the flight compartment side windows from the outside of the
airplane. If no movement is observed, no further action will be required. If there is an indication of
looseness, proceed as indicated in the following Steps.

(2) Remove each loose window as indicated in the preceding portions of this chapter.

(3) With the frame pressed back against the outer skin, drill 0.098 inch diameter holes through the
frame and skin at a distance of 0.20 inch from the edge of the frame with a No. 40 drill. Drill the
holes 6 inches apart in the areas where the frame has separated from the skin.

(4) Countersink the holes 100 degrees on both sides. The holes on the frame assembly side need be
countersunk only enough to hold the frame in place while the epoxy adhesive dries and the rivet
butts are made flush.

(5) Pry the frame and skin apart enough to sand their mating surfaces with 380-grit sandpaper until all
the adhesive is removed.

CAUTION: Pry the frame and skin apart only enough to permit repair. Any attempt to break the
two free from one another may result in damage to either or both.

(6) Clean the mating surfaces with solvent (17, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and a clean cloth until all
the residue of adhesive is removed.

(7) Mix epoxy adhesive (93, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) in accordance with the manufacturer's
directions and apply it onto the mating surfaces (Ref. Figure 204).

(8) Install NAS1097 rivets and flatten the rivet butts enough to fill countersink.

(9) Flush the rivet butts to the frame assembly and remove all the excess epoxy adhesive with
naphtha and a clean cloth.

(10) Install the windows as outlined in the preceding portions of this chapter.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
This wing is fabricated and assembled as a one-piece unit spanning from left Wing Station 291.735 to right
Wing Station 291.735. The upper and lower main spar caps are continuous from left Wing Station 215.376 to
right Wing Station 215.376. The lower main cap is made from three extrusions bonded together, with any two
of the three capable of withstanding the limit load. The upper cap is a single machined extrusion. The rear
spar caps are also machined extrusions. Outboard rear spar caps are joined to the center section caps in
permanent joints outboard of the nacelles. These joints use nested angles as splice plates. Aluminum alloy
sheet metal webs and stiffeners complete the spar assemblies. The primary structural materials in the wing
are 2024 alclad aluminum alloy sheet, with 2014 and 7075 aluminum alloys used for forgings and extrusions.
Outboard of the nacelle, the wing is a two-cell semimonocoque box structure of conventional design. The
leading edge assembly and the main section assembly are joined to the wing spar with riveted lap joints. A
subspar is installed forward of the main spar. The space forward of the subspar is utilized to route wiring,
plumbing and engine controls.
The nacelle keel members are machined aluminum alloy plate and incorporate the landing gear hinge point
support structure. Formed sheet metal formers and stringers establish the nacelle contours and a cavity for
the main landing gear.
The ailerons are symmetrical sections, except in the wing tip area. They are hinged at the centerline and have
overhanging aerodynamic balance. Each aileron has a single-channel-section spar as a main structural
member. The aileron is attached to the wing at three hinge points. The aileron spar and skins are 2024
aluminum alclad sheet. An adjustable trim tab is located at the inboard end of the left aileron.
The single-slotted flaps are fabricated in four sections, one on each outboard wing panel and one on each
side just outboard of the fuselage. The structural material is 2024 alclad aluminum and 6061 aluminum sheet.
Each flap has a single-channel-section spar. The outboard flap skins have chordwise beads in both top and
bottom skins. The inboard flap skins are beaded chordwise aft of the spar on the bottom side only. Each flap
is mounted on two tracks that are attached to the wing rear spar. Antifriction rollers in the flap roll in slots in
the flap tracks.

2. WING FUEL PROVISIONS


(EFFECTIVITY: UA-1 AND AFTER, UB-1 AND AFTER)
Between the subspar and main spar, bladder fuel cells are installed, extending from just outboard of the
nacelle to the wing tip assembly. Aft of the main spar, an integral fuel tank is a part of each outboard main
section. Inboard of the integral tank, two bladder fuel cells are installed. Chordwise, the main section tanks
extend from the front spar to the rear spar.

3. WING FUEL PROVISIONS


(EFFECTIVITY: UC-1 AND AFTER)
The wing fuel system is composed of an integral wet wing. Tubing is routed through the box section to be
utilized for wire routing. A subspar is installed forward of the rear spar from Wing Station 114.25 through Wing
Station 159.51 to provide utilization for control cable routing. Chordwise, the main section tanks extend from
the leading edge skin to the rear spar.
The main and rear spars in the center section of the wing are parallel in the plan view. A subspar located
forward of the rear spar provides a tunnel for control cables and flap drive shafts and also serves as a fuel
wall for the aft side of the center section wet fuel tank. The subspar extends from the root rib to the nacelle.

AILERON
57-50-00

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. AILERON

A. Balancing
After repainting and/or repair, the finished aileron must be checked to ensure that its static moment
about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The prescribed limits are 8.80 to 10.00 pound-inches
nose-heavy. The static moment of the aileron is determined by multiplying the unbalanced weight of the
aileron assembly times the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the center of gravity
when the chord line is horizontally level. The weight is measured in pounds and the distance in inches.

B. Checking Balance
The balance must be checked in a draft-free area with the aileron completely assembled in flying
condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod, static
wicks, and hinge bolts must be attached. The chord line must be horizontally level and the hinge line
must be properly supported when the static moment is measured. Although many different methods of
check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following two headings:

(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from the
hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the aileron assembly.

(2) Actual Force Method - Measurement of the force applied by the aileron surface on a single support
at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.

NOTE: Counterbalancing is the simplest method of check balancing.

2. BALANCING PROCEDURES

A. Equipment Required To Perform Check Balancing By Force Measurement


Method
(1) A stand with knife-edge supports as illustrated in Figure 201. The knife edges should be in the
same horizontal plane.

(2) A certified beam balance calibrated in units of 0.01 pound(s) or less. The balance should have a
flat weighing platform and its capacity should equal tare plus 2.0 pound(s) minimum.

(3) A support spindle similar to the illustration and levelling blocks, as required. (Blocks + spindle =
tare).

(4) A straightedge, rule and spirit level.

B. Force Measurement Method


(1) Locate the chord line at the inboard end of the surface by placing a straightedge at the inboard end
so that one edge bisects the center of the hinge point and the trailing edge.

(2) Mark the chord line.

(3) Place a small platform scale under the trailing edge if the control surface is tail heavy or under the
leading edge if it is nose heavy.

(4) Place the upper end of the spindle under the trailing edge of the tail-heavy surfaces or under the
leading edge of the nose-heavy surfaces. The spindle must be vertical throughout the balancing
procedure. Hold a spirit level against the marked chord line and level it by extending or contracting
the spindle, or by using blocks and shims under the spindle.

(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction on
the beam balance.

(6) Calculate the static underbalance moment M from the formula:

M = D (R-T) pound-inches where,


D = Perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the spindle point (inches).
R = Reaction (Pounds) read from the beam balance.
T = Tare, i.e. spindle plus levelling blocks or shims on the scale platform (Pounds).

EXAMPLE:

D is 10.0 inches, R is 7.680 lb. and T = 6.780lb.


M = 10.0 (7.680 - 6.780); M = 9.00 pound-inches.
M is within the prescribed range which is satisfactory.

If M is not within the prescribed range, refer to Step (9) under BALANCING PROCEDURE
COUNTERBALANCING METHOD in this section.

C. Equipment Required To Perform Check Balancing By Counterbalancing Method


(1) A stand with knife-edge supports as illustrated in Figure 201. The knife edges must be in the same
horizontal plane.

(2) A paper cup or similar lightweight container.

(3) Approximately one pound of lead shot.

(4) A certified beam balance weighing device calibrated in units of 0.01 pound or less.

(5) A straightedge, ruler, and spirit level.

D. Counterbalancing Method
(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the inboard end of the aileron assembly so that
one end is on the trailing edge and the other end is centered on the leading edge. Mark the chord
line with a suitable marker such as a grease pencil, then remove the straight edge.

(2) Secure the trim tab (LH Only) in its neutral position with a small piece of masking tape.

(3) Fit the correct size bolts in the hinge brackets and mount the aileron on the knife-edge supports.
Ascertain that the aileron is free to rotate about the hinge line.

(4) To determine if adjustment weights should be added or removed, suspend a paper cup from a
point near the center of the aileron trailing edge. Use a short length of small diameter string
secured to the surface with a piece of masking tape as illustrated in Figure 201. The cup must be
free to hang vertically.

(5) Add small quantities of lead shot to the cup until the aileron balances with the chord line level.
Check this by holding the spirit level aligned with the marked chord line.

(6) Carefully measure the perpendicular distance D within 0.1 inch from the hinge line to the point of
suspension of the cup.

(7) Remove the cup, contents, and string, then weigh them to within 0.05 pound.

NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance D, weighing is most important and
must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.

(8) Calculate the static balance as follows:

(a) The weight of the cup and contents is designated by W.

(b) The distance between the centerline of the hinge and suspension point of the cup is
designated by D.

(c) The over- or underbalance moment is designated by M.

(d) M = W x D

(e) The following is a typical example of a balancing calculation: Assume the aileron is
overbalance (nose heavy) and the paper cup was suspended from the trailing edge. Assume
that the aileron balances with the chord line level at W = 0.900 pound and D = 10.0 inches,
then...

M = 0.900 x 10.0

M = 9.00 pound-inches. (The product of W x D must be accurate to within 0.05


pound-inches.) In this instance, M is within the required static balance range and is therefore
acceptable.

(9) Adjustment weights must be added or removed and the balance rechecked if the static balance
does not fall within the prescribed limits 8.80 to 10.00 pound-inches nose heavy.

NOTE: If the balance is not within the limits stated above, lead adjustment weights may be added
or removed from the forward end of the inboard main leading edge closure rib to attain the
required balanced condition. A steel cover plate must be installed over the adjustment
weights. If necessary to meet the conditions of balancing, one or two cover plates may be
used without the addition of weights, or two cover plates in addition to the weights may be
used. Refer to Table 201 or Table 202.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The 1900 airliner uses two four blade propellers of composite construction with standard hubs. Each constant
speed, full feathering, reversible propeller is controlled by engine oil from a single acting engine driven
governor. Backing up the engine driven governor is an overspeed governor and a fuel topping governor, also
known as the power turbine governor, which is a component within the normal or primary governor. A servo
piston mounted on front of the propeller spider hub moves the propeller blades through links connected to the
trailing edge. Centrifugal counterweights on each blade, in conjunction with a feathering spring on the servo
piston, increase pitch (decrease rpm) to the feathered position as governor oil pressure is relieved. The
feathering spring completes the feathering operation when centrifugal twisting moment is lost as the propeller
stops rotating. To further expedite feathering, the normal feathering mechanism is backed by an automatic
feathering system that provides a means of immediately dumping oil from the propeller governor to enable
the feathering springs to start feathering the propeller blades as soon as engine torque meter oil pressure
drops below 3.1 ± 0.6 psi at power settings of 85 to 90% N1.
The servo piston of the reversing propeller is connected by four spring loaded sliding rods to a low pitch stop
collar (feedback ring) located behind the propeller. The movement of the low pitch stop collar is transmitted
by one carbon block through a reversing lever and connecting linkage to a Beta valve, which is positioned to
maintain the blade angle while propeller RPM is lower than that of the governor pilot valve as selected by the
control. The reversing lever is also connected to the fuel topping governor to limit propeller RPM in the
reverse position. A push-pull cable extends from the reversing lever aft to a control Beta cam box connected
to the power lever control and fuel control unit. Movement of the controls is transmitted through the Beta cam
box and interconnecting linkage to the fuel control unit and governors to regulate propeller speed and pitch.

A. Settings
Full Feathered....80° ± 0.5° at the Angle 42 inch station
Mechanical Reverse....-14° ± 0.50° Pitch Stop
The angle at which the prop dome just touches the 4 low pitch stop rod nuts which move the mechanical
low pitch stop collar is 8.0 ± 1° when the blades are held toward the decrease position at the 42 inch
station.
Low RPM....1400 (at detent)
Maximum RPM....1700 (at take off)
NOTE: When a propeller synchrophaser is installed there is no change in governor setting
procedures. The synchrophaser must be turned OFF while making governor settings.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
200200

1. PROPELLER

A. Hub Lubrication
(1) Follow all the Steps of the 100 hour inspection procedure.

CAUTION: Lubrication procedures must be followed correctly to maintain accurate dynamic


balance of the propeller blade assemblies and hub assembly. Improper lubrication
practices can create grease leaks, out-of-balance conditions, and/or internal
corrosion.
Use approved lubricants only.

(2) Proceed as follows to lubricate the propeller assembly:

CAUTION: Failure to remove one of the fittings on each of the blades for venting purposes will
result in either leaking past the blade shank-to-hub seal or forcing grease into the hub
cavity. Both conditions will result in grease leakage and can affect propeller operation
both in pitch change and balance.

(a) Remove the grease fittings from the engine side of the hub unit.

NOTE: The same amount of grease must be applied to all blades of a propeller assembly at
the time of lubrication. Failure to apply the same amount of grease to each blade
may result in balance changes which result in increased vibration during operation.

(b) Add an equal number of pumps of grease through each of the grease fittings on the cylinder
side of the hub unit (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00, FLIGHT COMPARTMENT ENGINE
CONTROLS AND PROPELLER LUBRICATION).

NOTE: When pumping the grease into the fitting, observe the grease coming out of the
opening. Lubrication is complete when the grease emerges in a steady flow with no
air pockets or moisture and has the color and texture of the new grease.

(c) Work a probe (loop) of wire in and out of the openings on the engine side of the hubs to help
release air pockets in the grease.

(d) Install all grease fittings, making sure that each grease fitting is properly installed and that the
ball of each fitting is seated properly against the opening of the fitting.

NOTE: The interval between lubrication is an important factor in minimizing internal


corrosion. Observe the proper lubrication intervals of 300 hours.

(e) Make an entry in the Log Book verifying that these inspection and lubrication procedures
have been completed.

B. Removal
(1) Remove the upper and lower forward engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00, COWLING
REMOVAL).

Page 201
61-10-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Remove the nuts, washers and screws securing the propeller deicer brush block assembly to the
engine bracket (Ref. Chapter 30-60-00, PROPELLER DEICER BRUSH REPLACEMENT).

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the deicer brushes after removal, tape them in place after
removing the brush block.

(3) Remove the screws and fiber washers from around the rear circumference of the spinner dome.
Carefully remove the spinner dome and store it to prevent damage.

(4) Disconnect the engine beta linkage and carbon block assembly from the feedback ring.

(5) Support the propeller assembly with a suitable sling and mobile hoist with a capacity of 300
pounds or more.

(6) Install the beta system puller (P/N CST2987) or feedback ring puller (P/N TK1573-918-1)
(Ref. Figure 202). Pull the feedback ring forward to expose the eight double hex headed propeller
mounting bolts and washers.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the propeller, ensure the tool is not cocked. Avoid bending or
otherwise damaging the spring loaded rods and the feedback ring (Ref. Figure 202).

(7) Remove the safety wire from the propeller mounting bolts.

(8) Remove the eight bolts and washers securing the propeller, and carefully remove the propeller
assembly from the engine.

NOTE: If the propeller is being overhauled, discard the mounting bolts and washers as new bolts
and washers are to be installed after propeller overhaul.

(9) Decompress and remove the beta system compression tool.

(10) Remove and discard the propeller mounting packing seal.

C. Installation
NOTE: For correct propeller synchrophaser pickup installation for left hand or right hand propellers
(Ref. 61-22-00).

(1) Place the new packing seal over the engine shaft.

(2) Pull the low pitch stop collar fully forward with the beta system puller (P/N CST2987) or the
feedback ring puller (P/N TK1573-918-1) (Ref. Figure 202).

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the propeller, make sure that the tool is not cocked. Take the
precautions necessary to avoid bending or otherwise damaging the spring loaded
rods and the low pitch stop collar (brass ring).
NOTE: The B3001-2 low pitch stop collar is not installed on new propellers delivered from the
factory as a precaution against damage during shipment. Only one of the FOUR jam nuts
is installed on one of the B3002-2 rods. This one nut is locked in position on the rod with
thread locking compound (59, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) for proper positioning of the
B3001-2 collar.

(3) When installing a propeller that was previously removed, proceed to Step (4). If a new propeller is
being installed, proceed as follows:

Page 202

the three remaining B3002-2 rods and jam nuts as required to obtain the specified runout.

(g) Torque the three remaining jam nuts to 12 foot-pounds.

NOTE: In the event that the black colored jam nut (coated with Loctite) becomes loose by
accident or mistake, it can be repositioned at the exact point on the rod by
measuring the distance between the outer surface of the low pitch stop collar (brass
ring) and the outer surface of the propeller flange (Ref. Figure 203). The distance
must be 1.88 inch.

(h) Torque the nut on the front of each B3002-2 rod to 12 foot-pounds.

(4) Pull the low pitch stop collar fully forward with beta system puller (P/N CST2987) or the feedback
ring puller (P/N TK1573-918-1) (Ref. Figure 202).

(10) Final torque all bolts to 100 to 105 foot-pounds following torque sequence B (Ref. Figure 201).
After final torque, lockwire (178, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) all mounting bolts (Ref. Chapter
20-07-00, LOCKWIRE).

CAUTION: The torque on the bolts shall not exceed 105 foot-pounds.

(11) Remove the feedback ring puller and connect the propeller reversing lever to the propeller control
linkage.

CAUTION: With the carbon brush block held against the low pitch stop collar, check the clearance
between the low pitch stop collar and the metal retaining clip of the carbon block. If at
any point this clearance is 0.005 inch or less, replace the carbon block to prevent
damage to the low pitch stop collar by the retaining clip. Give clearance between
carbon brush block and brass ring wall at the nearest point.

D. Inspection
Check propellers for condition, and attachment; check condition of mechanical feedback ring and stop
rods and springs; check reversing linkage for evidence of binding and security of attachment; check the
valve and plumbing for security of attachment and leakage (Ref. Chapter 5-20-00).

2. DYNAMIC BALANCING
NOTE: Dynamic balancing frequency should be based on individual operator service experience. Operators
are encouraged to initially implement a dynamic propeller balance program at intervals not to exceed
1200 service hours. Thereafter dynamic propeller balancing should be accomplished at appropriate
intervals, based on individual operator’s field experience or any time propeller maintenance is
accomplished which could effect propeller balance; such as blade repairs. Balancing is also
recommended after lubrication. Dynamically balanced propellers shall be rebalanced whenever the
engine and/or propeller is changed.
Dynamic balancing of the propellers must be accomplished ONLY by personnel who are totally familiar with
the applicable service equipment and data. Personnel must be thoroughly instructed as to the use and care of
the test equipment being used.
Different brands of dynamic balancing equipment are available for purchase and may be used as directed by
the manufacturer of the equipment. The equipment listed below is almost totally automatic and, when
connected properly, will furnish Step by Step instructions on the readout screen as test procedures are
performed. UC-151 and After are equipped with permanent hardware provisions installed for propeller
dynamic balancing. Two kits are available for propeller balancing on UA-3, UB-1 thru UB-74 and UC-1 thru
UC-150. Kit 114-9032-1 has permanent dynamic balancing provisions similar to installations on UC-151 and
After. For the airplanes which do not have the Kit 114-9032-1 installed, Kit 114-9035-1 provides temporary
provisions to dynamically balance the propellers. It is recommended that the manufacturer's instructions for
the equipment being used be followed closely during the balancing procedure.
The following balancing procedure has been developed for use with the Chadwick-Helmuth Model 8500
Vibration Analyzer (8, Table 7, Chapter 91-00-00). When using a vibration analyzer other than a
Chadwick-Helmuth Model 8500, make adjustments to the following procedures based on the equipment
manufacturer’s instructions on the use of this equipment.

A. Test Preparation
(UA-3, UB-1 thru UB-74, UC-1 thru UC-150 without Kit 114-9032-1 Installed)
Kit 114-9035-1 provides information on how to modify the cowling and to temporarily route the cables on
airplanes without Kit 114-9032-1 installed.

(1) Remove the upper forward cowling assembly.

(2) Following Chadwick-Helmuth procedures, install the velocimeter and propeller R.P.M. sensor to
the forward lower stud on the tach generator pad with the arrow on the sensor pointing down.

(3) Route the cables into the flight compartment through the lower forward cowling as shown on the kit
drawing. If the cowling is not equipped to route the cables properly, install an access panel per Kit
114-9035-1.

(4) Clamp the cables as required in the cowling area and tape the cables to the airplane skin, keeping
the cables as flat as possible. Use 2 inch wide tedlar tape (112, Table 1, Chapter 91-00-00) or
equivalent for this purpose.

(5) Install the upper forward cowling assembly if the balancing data is to be recorded in flight.

B. Test Preparation
(UA-3, UB-1 thru UB-74, UC-1 thru UC-150 with Kit 114-9032-1 Installed and
UC-151 and After)
Kit 114-9032-1 provides information and parts required to install permanent provisions similar to those
used on UC-151 for dynamically balancing the propeller assembly.
NOTE: The Kit 114-9023 provides information to relocate the propeller deice brush block to a location
that will reduce the dirt and grime on the brush block. This kit MUST be installed prior to, or in
conjunction with, Kit 114-9032-1.

(1) Remove the upper forward engine cowling.

(2) Unplug the connector and remove the dummy vibration sensor from the bracket on the tach
generator pad (Ref. Figure 204).

(3) Install the vibration sensor furnished with the balancing equipment. Ensure that the arrow on the
sensor points down when the sensor is secured to the bracket.

(4) Plug the connector into the vibration sensor, and install the upper cowling assembly.

NOTE: This installation is identical for both engines.

(5) Place the Vibration Analyzer in the flight compartment.

(6) Connect the adapter cable (Chadwick-Helmuth P/N 10390) to the receptacle in the sidewall behind
the copilot's seat.

(7) Connect the left engine leads from the adapter cable to channels 1 and A and the right engine
leads from the adapter cable to channels 2 and B on the switch box (Chadwick-Helmuth P/N
9110).

(8) Connect the patch cord (furnished with the 9110 switch box) to the 9110 switch box and to the

3. TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE: Propeller maintenance, such as blade repairs, lubrication, painting, etc., must be accomplished prior
to dynamic balancing procedures. Engine and/or propeller changes will require balancing.
Propeller dynamic balancing procedures may be accomplished on the ground or in flight. Generally, better
results are obtained with the in flight procedure since vibration readings are taken when the propeller is
operating at typical cruise flight blade angle and aerodynamic loads. Readings taken during high power
ground running may not be as consistently accurate due to blade angle and/or ground buffeting.
NOTE: Hawker Beechcraft Corporation recommends that the propeller be balanced to 0.2 inch per second
(IPS) or less when in flight and 0.1 IPS or less during ground operation.

A. Ground Test
(1) Perform a normal engine start. Taxi to the run up pad and position the airplane crosswind to
perform the ground balancing procedure.

(2) Ground run the downwind engine at the most frequently used parameters for cruise power and
propeller RPM. Press START on the analyzer and the analyzer will automatically acquire a
reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on the analyzer to print the solution.

(3) Turn the airplane around so the opposite engine will be on the downwind side. Again run the
downwind engine at the most frequently used parameters for cruise power and propeller RPM.

(4) Press SEL CHART on the analyzer (as indicated by the cursor on the analyzer display) and switch
to the opposite propeller on the switch box. Press START on the analyzer and the analyzer will
automatically acquire a reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on the analyzer to
print the solution.

CAUTION: Do not alter static balance to achieve dynamic balance.

(5) Compute the weight amounts and locations required for dynamic balance of the propeller in
accordance with Figure 205 and Table 201.

NOTE: Dynamic balancing weights (washers) may be attached to the spinner bulkhead; twelve
possible weight locations may be utilized (Ref. Figure 206). The balancing weights should
be located on the engine side of the bulkhead and should not exceed 0.9 ounce per
location. Nut plates, riveted to the propeller side of the bulkhead, may be used in place of
nuts for screw attachment.

(6) Adjust the weight installation until satisfactory balance readings are confirmed. Ensure that the
decal is installed on the aft side of the spinner bulkhead to indicate that the propeller has been
dynamically balanced.

NOTE: Table 201 indicates the combined weight of the balance weights (washers) and the
attaching screws.

(7) Remove the forward engine cowling and disconnect and remove the vibration sensor from the tach
generator bracket. Connect and install the dummy sensor and install the forward engine cowling.

(8) Make appropriate log book entries denoting that the propellers have been dynamically balanced.
Record the amount of weight added or removed at each location and the IPS of the final balance.

B. Flight Test
(1) Fly the airplane at the altitude and cruising speed at which the airplane is normally operated.

(2) When the propeller speed has stabilized at cruise RPM, press START on the analyzer and the
analyzer will automatically acquire a reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on
the analyzer to print the solution.

(3) Press SEL CHART on the analyzer (as indicated by the cursor position on the analyzer display)
and switch to the opposite propeller on the switchbox. Press START on the analyzer and the
analyzer will automatically require a reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on
the analyzer to print the solution.

CAUTION: Do not alter static balance to achieve dynamic balance.

(4) Compute the weight amounts and locations required for dynamic balance of the propeller in
accordance with Figure 205 and Table 201.

NOTE: Dynamic balancing weights (washers) may be attached to the spinner bulkhead; twelve
possible weight locations may be utilized (Ref. Figure 206). The balancing weights should
be located on the engine side of the bulkhead and should not exceed 0.9 ounce per
location. Nut plates, riveted to the propeller side of the bulkhead, may be used in place of
nuts for screw attachment.

(5) Adjust the weight installation until satisfactory balance readings are confirmed. Ensure that the
decal is installed on the aft side of the spinner bulkhead to indicate that the propeller has been
dynamically balanced.

(6) Disconnect and remove all of the test equipment from the airplane.

(7) Remove the forward engine cowling and disconnect and remove the vibration sensor from the tach
generator bracket. Connect and install the dummy sensor and install the forward engine cowling.

(8) Make appropriate log book entries denoting that the propellers have been dynamically balanced.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL

A. Primary Governor
An increase in the flow of oil regulated by the primary governor passes through the oil transfer housing
and the hollow center of the propeller shaft to move the propeller blades toward the low pitch (high rpm)
hydraulic stop and reverse positions. The primary governor, mounted on top of the gear reduction
housing, regulates N2 by varying propeller blade pitch. The governor consists of a gear-type oil pump
with flyweights mounted on a rotating head, and a spring-loaded pilot valve that regulates the flow of oil
to and from the propeller servo piston. The position of the pilot valve is controlled by the rotating
flyweights, in conjunction with the spring-load imposed by the external speed control lever. When the
engine rpm drops to an underspeed condition below the control setting, spring force overcomes
flyweight force to lower the pilot valve plunger and open the port in the governor drive gear shaft,
through which oil flows to the propeller servo piston and decreases blade angle. The decrease in pitch
decreases the load on the engine. The resultant increase in engine rpm also increases the centrifugal
force of the rotating flyweights, which then lifts the pilot valve plunger to cover the port in the governor
drive gear shaft and shut off the flow of oil to the propeller. The forces exerted on the pilot valve plunger
by the flyweights and speeder spring then balance to initiate the on-speed cycle of the governor. An
overspeed condition occurs with a decrease in propeller load or with movement of the propeller control
to decrease rpm. Flyweight force then overcomes speeder spring force and raises the pilot valve
plunger to open the port through which oil drains from the propeller through the governor to the sump.
The load on the engine increases and rpm drops as the counterweights and feathering spring increase
propeller pitch. The pilot valve then centers in the governor drive gear shaft to block the flow of oil to and
from the propeller as governor flyweight and speeder spring force reach a state of equilibrium.
The primary governor contains a fuel topping governor which has an airbleed orifice that opens to
change the effect of the fuel control valve in the Fuel Control Unit (FCU) to reduce fuel, power, and N1.
During normal flying, instantaneous changes in the atmosphere density cause high N2 rpm. When the
primary governor senses the overspeed condition, the governing section moves an airbleed lever to
open the airbleed orifice. When the propeller control lever is at high rpm, the airbleed will open as N2
increases 6% above the selected value. When the propeller control lever is at low rpm, the airbleed will
open when N2 reaches 4% below the selected value. When the engine control lever is moved into
reverse, the Beta cambox push/pull cable pulls the reset linkage aft to hold the airbleed orifice open
(Ref. Figure 1).

B. Overspeed Governor
A propeller overspeed governor, mounted on the left side of the reduction gear housing, acts as a
safeguard against propeller overspeed should the primary governor fail. The overspeed governor
regulates the flow of oil to the propeller pitch-change mechanism by means of a flyweight and speeder
spring arrangement similar to that of the primary governor. The overspeed unit governs at 104% N2
speed (approximately 1768 rpm). Since it has no mechanical controls, the overspeed governor is
equipped with a testing solenoid that resets the normal overspeed setting to approximately 1564 rpm for
ground testing (Ref. Figure 2).

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Low Pitch Stop


Propeller blade angle will be on the low pitch stop anytime the propeller rpm is lower than that selected.
With the engine condition levers on low setting, the gas turbine section N1 cannot drive the propeller
rpm N2 to the setting selected by the propeller control lever. At that point, the propeller rpm falls below
the range of the governor and reaches the low pitch stop.
As N1 power is reduced, N2 is reduced. The primary governor senses this underspeed condition, lowers
the pilot valve in the governing section to reduce pitch (reduce the load). The decrease in blade angle
allows the propeller rpm N2 to increase and match the rpm as selected in the cockpit. The Beta ring on
the propeller gives mechanical feedback of the blade position to the reverse lever of the Beta valve.
When the blade pitch reaches the desired position as determined by the rigging, the reverse lever
moves the Beta valve outward to stop the oil flow to the propeller and hold the blade at that pitch. At that
point the governor has no effect because the Beta valve prevents oil from going to or leaving the
propeller.

D. Ground Fine Stop System


The ground fine stop system uses an electrical solenoid mounted on the front of the reversing push/pull
cable to limit the propeller blade angle to 0 to 7°. The solenoid is connected to the propeller reversing
lever by means of a slotted clevis which allows the reversing lever to be pulled aft, resetting the Beta
valve.
The electrical solenoid can be energized by two ground paths. One is through the RH landing gear
squat switch. The other occurs by pulling the power levers to the ground idle fine switch. The solenoid in
each case energizes and pulls the reverse lever of the Beta valve aft to reset the blade angle.

E. Reversing System
When the power lever controls are lifted for placement in the reversing range, the power levers actuate
the pedestal switches that break the circuit of the secondary low pitch stop system. This enables the
propeller servo piston to reverse the pitch of the propeller blades with engine oil pressure from the
governor sump. The power lever controls are connected to the engine control Beta cam box which is
also linked to the fuel control unit. A push-cable extends from the Beta cam box forward to the reversing
lever to which is attached the brush that rides in the propeller brass feedback ring. Movement of the
power control lever is transmitted through the Beta cam box and interconnecting linkage to the fuel
control unit. Propeller control levers to the governors regulate propeller speed and pitch.

F. Synchrophaser
The propeller synchrophaser automatically matches the RPM of both propellers and positions the
propellers at a pre-set phase relationship between the blades of the left and the right propellers. This
phase relationship is designed to decrease cabin noise and is not adjustable by the pilot. The control
box senses pulses which are generated by pickups mounted on both engines at identical locations in
relation to the engine centerline. Steel targets, mounted on the propeller spinner bulkheads, provide the
pulse reference for the pickups.
The magnetic pickups operate on the magetoelectric principle: when the steel target passes in close
proximity to the magnetic field of the pickup, an alternating current is induced in the pickup. The
magnitude of the peak-to-peak voltage should ideally be a minimum of 4 volts.
The control box does not respond to amplitude of the input signals, but to phasing of the waveforms. A
specific amount of voltage change, approximately 0.7 volts, is necessary to trigger the control box.
Maintaining a time-phase relationship is the control box’s only priority. The control box senses the

Page 4
Nov 1/09 61-20-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

pulses from each pickup and attempts to superimpose the waveforms by trimming the speed of each
propeller. Current flow through each trim coil (independent of polarity) either pulls the governor
flyweights inward, or pulls on a disc attached to the pilot valve to simulate an under speed condition.
Speed trim of the propellers is accomplished by the control box with correction commands to each
propeller governor. The character of the correction commands is in the form of pulse width-modulated
28 volt direct current: the duration of the pulse of current is regulated to produce the proper amount of
speed trim. The amount of speed trim per pulse width modulation by the control box is a function of the
governor and will always be within a very narrow range (holding range, approximately 25 ± 2 RPM).
The governor servo can increase, but never decrease, the speed set by the propeller control lever. The
RPM of one propeller will follow the changes in RPM of the other propeller over the predetermined
holding range of the governor. This limited holding range prevents either propeller from losing more than
limited RPM if the RPM of the other propeller is manually reduced, such as in power changes or
propeller feathering, while the synchrophaser is on.
The synchrophaser system is controlled through a toggle switch placarded PROP SYNCH-ON-OFF. To
operate the system, synchronize the propellers manually and set the RPM of each propeller to within 10
RPM of each other and turn the syncrophaser on. To change RPM, adjust both propellers at the same
time. This will keep the setting within the holding range of the system. If the synchrophaser is on, but will
not synchronize propellers, the propeller speeds are not within the limits required for the system to
assume control (outside capture range). Turn the synchrophaser off, synchronize the propellers
manually, then turn the synchrophaser on. Engagement will automatically occur when the relative phase
of the input signals is within 30 rotational degrees of the control box internal phase setting. Engagement
usually occurs within seconds of system turn-on; however it may take as long as 30 seconds for the
input signals to drift within phasing range.
When input conditions are satisfied, the system engages. Both propeller speeds are increased by
one-half the holding range of the system. Each control box output signal is the inversion of the other. As
propeller RPM is increased on one side, it is decreased on the other. Syncrophaser engagement or
operation can never reduce propeller RPM below manual speed settings except in rare instances where
torque or temperature limiting is approached.

PROPELLER
PROPELLER AUTOFEATHERING
61-21-00

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The automatic feathering system provides a means of immediately dumping oil from the propeller governor to
enable the feathering springs to start feathering the propeller blades as soon as engine torquemeter oil
pressure drops below a preset point, equivalent to approximately 260 foot-pounds. of torque, at power
settings of 85 to 90% N1 or greater. The system is primarily intended for use during takeoff and landing. It
should be kept on until the airplane has gained enough altitude that the loss of one engine and its resultant
drag will not present an immediate problem to the pilot.

2. DESCRIPTION
The autofeathering system is controlled through a four-pole three-position control switch with modes of ARM
(the up position), OFF (the center position), and TEST (the momentary down position) (Ref. Figures 1, 2,
and 3). The system is armed by placing the arming switch, located in the subpanel, in the ARM position. This
closes the circuit from a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the right circuit breaker panel to the power lever switches
mounted on a bracket in the control pedestal; however, the autofeathering system will remain inactive as long
as the power levers are retarded below the 85 to 90% N1 position. When the power levers are advanced to
the 85 to 90% N1 position, a mechanical actuator connected to each power lever will close its respective
switch and complete the circuit to the high and low pressure switches mounted adjacent to the torque
pressure transmitter just forward and above the left exhaust outlet on each engine. These pressure switches
monitor torquemeter oil pressure.

A. High Pressure Switch


The high pressure switch is a double-pole, double-throw switch that actuates to the normally closed set
of contacts when the torquemeter oil pressure drops below 4.7 ± 0.4 psi and closes to the normally open
set of contacts when the pressure rises again to 6.1 ± 0.5 psi. When closed to its normally open set of
contacts (torquemeter oil pressure above 6.1 ± 0.5 psi), the high pressure switch provides current from
the number 1 power lever switch to the opposite autofeather system annunciator while making current
available to energize the opposite system's autofeather dump solenoid valve and arm-light-out relay.
Should a fault cause the torquemeter pressure to drop below 4.7 ± 0.4 psi on either autofeather system,
the high pressure switch on the faulted side will return to its normally closed position, thereby removing
current from the opposite side to disable that system and providing current to its own feather dump
solenoid control relay; consequently, the possibility of automatically feathering both propellers is
precluded.

B. Low Pressure Switch


The autofeather low pressure switch provides for the switching of ground to the control relay and the
autofeather dump solenoid valve. The low pressure switch is a single-pole, double-throw pressure
actuated switch permanently set to actuate on rising pressure to its normally open contact at 4.0 ± 0.8
psi. On falling pressure, it will return to its normally closed contact at 3.1 ± 0.6 psi. In its normally closed
position (torquemeter pressure below 3.1 ± 0.6 psi), the low pressure switch completes the ground
circuit to the autofeather dump solenoid valve and to its respective control relay. The normally open
contact of this switch is unused.

Page 1
61-21-00 Nov 1/09
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. Annunciation
When the autofeather control switch is in the ARM position and the engine power levers are advanced
above 85 to 90% N1, the annunciator light for one side receives operating current through the high
pressure switch in the opposite side system. Grounding of the annunciator lights is accomplished
through the number two power lever switches. When the autofeather system on one side activates, its
control relay closes, energizing its respective arm-light-out relay which removes current to extinguish
the annunciator.

D. Control and Arming-Light-Out Relays


The relays for the RH autofeathering system are installed on relay panel A121 (1900), A120 (1900C),
located in the PCB rack beneath the center aisle floorboard. The relays for the LH autofeathering
system are mounted on relay panel A119 in the same pcb rack.

3. OPERATION
When the engines are operating at some power in excess of 85 to 90% N1 and the autofeather system is
armed, the autofeather pressure switches will all be closed to the normally open position. Energizing current
is available at one pole of the control relays for operation of the feather dump solenoid valves and the
arm-light-out relays by way of the opposite system high pressure switch. The annunciators are also energized
through the opposite high pressure switch in this mode. Should the torquemeter pressure begin to drop on
one engine due to an engine fault, the high pressure switch on the faulted side will close at approximately
4.7 psi. At this point, the unfaulted side of the system is disabled and its annunciator extinguished because
the energizing current provided through the high pressure switch of the faulted side of the system is no longer
available; due to the switching of the high pressure switch on the faulted side, this current is now applied to
the coil of the control relay of the faulted side of the system. The faulted side of the system annunciator is still
illuminated since it is receiving its power from the unfaulted side. At this point, should the torquemeter
pressure on the faulted side continue to fall, the low pressure switch will actuate at approximately 3.1 psi.
Actuation of the low pressure switch completes the ground circuit of the already energized control relay,
closing it to energize the feather dump solenoid that immediately dumps the oil from the propeller governor.
This same current is applied to the coil of the arm-light-out relay, closing it to remove current from, and
extinguish, the annunciator.
For testing purposes, the autofeather control switch is equipped with a TEST mode by which the power lever
switches in the pedestal can be bypassed to check out the system with the power levers retarded to below
the 90% N1 position.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. PROCEDURES
The flight crew will probably be first to note a fault in operation of the autofeather system; the system must be
tested before each flight. Flight crew observations may include comments such as “no annunciation during
test” or “propeller not feathering during test”. Regardless of the nature of the particular complaint, the same
troubleshooting Chart (Chart 1, in Figure 101) will enable the technician to properly differentiate between
faulted components of the autofeather system. As a result of the interplay between RH and LH sides of the
system, a certain logical continuity must be maintained during the troubleshooting procedure in order to
eliminate confusion and needless replacement of components; therefore, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation
strongly advises the technician to follow the troubleshooting Chart until the Chart suggests some terminal
activity which should lead to fault correction.

A. Operational Check
The following check procedure should be performed prior to beginning the troubleshooting process; this
should more clearly define the exact nature of the complaint. This procedure is the only procedure
recommended for evaluating the switching level of the torque pressure switches and evaluating
adjustment of the autofeather power lever switches.
NOTE: The first half of this procedure evaluates the torque pressure switches.

(1) Start both engines.

(2) Place the power levers in IDLE.

(3) Hold the autofeather control switch in the TEST position.

(4) The propellers should remain unfeathered, and the autofeather annunciator lights should remain
extinguished.

(5) Increase engine torque slightly above 650 foot-pounds and hold the autofeather control switch in
TEST. Both autofeather annunciators should illuminate, confirming the switching of the high
pressure torque switches to their normally open position.

(6) Slowly retard the LH engine power lever while holding the control switch in the TEST position, and
check that the RH AUTOFEATHER light extinguishes between 450 and 650 foot-pounds, thus
signaling the switching of the high pressure switch to its NC position. Continue retarding the LH
engine power lever and check that both the LH and RH autofeather annunciator lights extinguish
and the propeller begins to feather between 220 and 420 foot-pounds: this indicates that the low
pressure switch has closed.

NOTE: Any indication that the pressure switches have not reacted in the predicted manner will
necessitate replacing the affected pressure switch. As the propeller blades rotate toward
feather, the engine torque will increase above the low pressure switch setting and result in
system cycling.

(7) Repeat the preceding check with the RH engine.

NOTE: The balance of this check evaluates power lever switch adjustment.

Page 101
61-21-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(8) Place the autofeather control switch in the ARM position.

(9) Advance the LH power lever 89 to 91% N1; the propeller should remain unfeathered and the
annunciator lights should remain extinguished.

(10) Retard the LH power lever and perform the previous check with the RH power lever; the same
results should be observed.

(11) Advance both power levers 89 to 91% N1; both autofeather annunciators should illuminate.

NOTE: Any indications inconsistent with the expected results of this check will necessitate
replacing or readjusting the autofeather power lever switches.

PROPELLER SYNCHROPHASER

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The propeller synchrophaser automatically matches the RPM of both propellers as a result of maintaining a
specific phase relationship between the blades of the left and right propellers. The control box senses pulses
which are generated by pickups mounted at identical locations on both engines, in relation to the engine
centerline. Ferrous metal targets, mounted on the propeller spinner bulkheads, provide the pulse reference
for the pickups.
The magnetic pickups operate on the magnetoelectric induction principle: when the ferrous metal target
passes in close proximity to the magnetic field of the pickup, an alternating current is induced in the pickup.
The waveform of the current is essentially a sine wave with a very narrow bandwidth at the peaks of the
wave. The amplitude of the positive signal may not necessarily be equal to the amplitude of the negative
signal; therefore, it will be necessary to measure peak-to-peak voltages (the magnitude of difference between
the voltage of the positive peak and the voltage of the negative peak) in order to properly assess the
operating outputs of the pickups. The duration of the waveform, from the time it leaves the baseline until it
returns to the baseline after the negative peak, is approximately 1/215 of the time the waveform remains at
the baseline. The frequency of the alternating current is dependent upon propeller RPM and will equate to
25 Hz. at 1500 RPM. Attesting to the sensitivity of the control box is the fact that the entire waveform cycle
occurs during a time span of less than 1/5000 second. As a result of the peculiar characteristics of the AC
waveform produced by the pickups, an oscilloscope must be used to measure peak-to-peak voltages. The
magnitude of the peak-to-peak voltage should be between 4 and 110 volts.
The control box does not respond to amplitude of the input signals, but to phasing of the waveforms. A
specific amount of voltage change, approximately 0.7 volts, is necessary to trigger the control box.
Maintaining a time-phase relationship is the control box's only priority. The control box senses the pulses
from each pickup and attempts to superimpose the waveforms by trimming the speed of each propeller.
Speed trim of the propellers is accomplished by the control box with correction commands to each propeller
governor. The character of these correction commands is in the form of pulse width modulated 28 volt direct
current: the duration of the pulse of current is regulated to produce the proper amount of speed trim. The
amount of speed trim per pulse width modulation by the control box is a function of the governor and will
always be within a very narrow range (holding range of approximately 25 ± 2 RPM).
The governor servo can increase, but never decrease, the speed set by the propeller control lever. The RPM
of one propeller will follow the changes in RPM of the other propeller over the predetermined holding range of
the governor. This limited holding range prevents either propeller from losing more than a limited RPM if the
RPM of the other propeller is manually reduced, such as in power changes or propeller feathering, while the
synchrophaser is on.
The synchrophaser system is controlled through a toggle switch placarded PROP SYNCH-ON-OFF. To
operate the system, synchronize the propellers in the normal manner and turn the synchrophaser on. To
change RPM, adjust both propellers at the same time. This will keep the setting within the holding range of
the system. If the synchrophaser is on, but will not synchronize propellers, the propeller speeds are not within
the limits required for the system to assume control (outside capture range). Turn the synchrophaser off,
synchronize the propellers manually, then turn the synchrophaser on.

1. PROCEDURES
The first indication that a fault may exist in the synchrophaser system will most likely be squawks from the
flight crew; however, performing a functional check of the operation of the synchrophaser system before
troubleshooting may yield information essential to differentiating faults within the system. The functional
check which follows should be performed as the first phase of troubleshooting.
The second phase of troubleshooting will include checking the wiring and peripheral components. A breakout
box can be fabricated in the shop and will provide convenient access to the various circuits of the
synchrophaser system (Ref. Figure 102).
Should the checks fail to reveal the nature of the fault, it will be necessary to begin the third phase of
trouble-shooting, which will be to evaluate the reaction of the propeller governors. This is done by using the
breakout box to check the effect of the synchrophaser control box on the speed-biasing coil of the propeller
governor.
If no faults became apparent during previous troubleshooting attempts, the fourth phase of troubleshooting is
to evaluate the character of the outputs from the magnetic pickups.
In the event none of the previous checks or procedures reveals the exact nature of the fault, the fault may be
assumed to be in the control box, and a control box, known to be operational, should be installed.
The troubleshooting diagram, refer to the Chart in Figure 104, proposes a logical sequence of checks and
activities to be performed during the troubleshooting process and may aid the technician in eliminating
confusion and maintaining logical order. All manners of faults have been investigated, but only the most
probable causes of faults in the system are detailed in this diagram.

2. SYNCHROPHASER

A. Functional Check
The proper operation of the synchrophaser system may be ground checked as follows:
CAUTION: Do not overtorque the engines.

(1) Start the engines and increase power until N1 torque reads approximately 1500 foot-pounds. With
the propeller levers in HIGH RPM, the propellers will be at about 1700 RPM.

(2) Using the propeller levers, reduce propeller RPM on both engines to as nearly 1500 RPM as
possible.

(3) Turn the synchrophaser switch to the ON position.

(4) Using the propeller lever, increase the RPM of the left propeller slightly and check that the
synchrophaser increased the RPM on the right propeller to match.

NOTE: Should the previous check yield negative results, turn the synchrophaser off and repeat
the above procedure.

(5) If the previous check indicated that the synchrophaser is operating, continue increasing the
propeller RPM with the propeller lever until synchronization is lost and record this RPM.

Page 101
61-22-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(6) Using the propeller lever, slowly decrease the propeller RPM on the left engine below the RPM of
the right engine until synchronization is again lost and record this RPM.

(7) The difference between the two propeller speeds at which synchronization was lost is the holding
range and should be at least 23 to 27 RPM. This check evaluates the ability of the right propeller
governor to respond to correction commands from the control box, as well as the control box's
ability to issue commands properly.

NOTE: Failure of this check will necessitate performing the synchrophaser continuity check.

(8) Repeat the functional check procedure by varying the propeller RPM of the right engine while
letting the left propeller governor respond.

(9) During this functional check, determine that the communications and navigation equipment is not
adversely affected by the synchrophaser operation and that synchrophaser operation is not
adversely affected by the operation of other electrical equipment.

B. Synchrophaser Checks
Use this check to locate the source of the fault should the synchrophaser system fail the functional
check. Use a multimeter with an ohm function or an ohmmeter to accomplish these checks.

(1) Check that the battery master switch is off, and open the synchrophaser circuit breaker.

(2) Remove the connector from the control box.

(3) Check the synchrophaser system wiring for conformity to the schematic in Figure 101, Sheet 1 of 2
or Sheet 2 of 2.

(4) Perform the continuity checks as indicated in Table 101 for UC-1 thru UC-40 or Table 102 for
UC-41 and After.

NOTE: Resistance readings noted in Table 101 or Table 102 may be as much as 20% higher
during heat soak following engine shutdown.

(5) After performing the continuity checks, close the synchrophaser circuit breaker, turn the battery
master switch on and check for battery voltage between pins A and B.

(6) Correct any wiring faults that may have been revealed during these continuity checks. Replace
any component which failed to meet the proper resistance specified for that component. Restore
the system to operational status and perform the functional check again.

CAUTION: DO NOT connect the plug to the control box before turning the battery master switch
off and opening the synchrophaser circuit breaker.

(7) If no faults were found by the continuity checks, perform the propeller GOVERNOR SPEED
BIASING COIL CHECK.

C. Governor Speed Biasing Coil Check


The following checks assess the operation of the governors. Perform this check before evaluating the
outputs of the magnetic pickups:

(1) Connect the breakout box between the airplane harness and the control box.

Page 104
Nov 1/10 61-22-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) Start the engines and increase the propeller RPM to 1600 RPM with the propeller levers in high
RPM.

(3) Using the propeller levers, reduce the RPM to 1500 RPM to insure that the propellers are being
controlled by the governors.

(4) Install a jumper between jacks R and A. The speed of the right propeller should noticeably
increase.

(5) Install the jumper between jacks L and A of the breakout box. The speed of the left propeller
should noticeably increase.

(6) A failure of either propeller governor to increase propeller speed indicates that there is a fault in
the speed biasing coil of that governor.

(7) If no faults were revealed by this operational check, perform the MAGNETIC PICKUP VOLTAGE
CHECK before condemning the control box.

D. Magnetic Pickup Voltage Check


It is important that the output voltages of the magnetic pickups be within the 4 to 110 volt peak-to-peak
(Vpp) operating range. In addition, it is also important that the output voltage waveforms generated
begin with a 0 to +V transition and the Vpp is the same for each magnetic pickup to within ± 0.10 Vpp
(Ref. Figure 103).
This procedure requires a ground runup of the engines with an oscilloscope in the cockpit to measure
the voltage waveforms.

(1) Ensure that all electrical power is off and the PROP SYNCH circuit breaker is disengaged.

(2) Disconnect the wire harness plug from the synchrophaser control box and install the breakout box
between the plug and the control box.

(3) Set the oscilloscope to read 1 volt/division and scan once every 125 milliseconds.

(4) Connect the oscilloscope leads to the breakout box to observe the left magnetic pickup.

NOTE: Match the polarity of the oscilloscope leads to the polarity of the magnetic pickup.

(5) Restore electrical power to the airplane.

(6) Start the engines in accordance with the operator's manual.

(7) Manually set both propellers as close to 1500 rpm as possible.

NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the sweep of the oscilloscope to obtain a steady picture.

(8) Observe the waveforms on the oscilloscope. Record the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp). The ideal
Vpp should be between 4 and 110 volts. The magnetic pickup waveforms should depart smoothly
from the baseline, rise sharply to a positive peak (+V), descend sharply to a negative peak (-V),
and return smoothly to the baseline (Ref. Figure 103). The waveforms should be symmetrical; if
they are not:

(a) A ragged waveform indicates a faulty pickup.

Page 105
61-22-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) An asymmetrical waveform indicates the target is not parallel to the tip of the magnetic
pickup.

(c) A secondary peak may indicate a damaged target.

(9) Repeat the magnetic pickup voltage check for the right magnetic pickup.

(10) Shut down the engines in accordance with the operator's manual.

1. PICKUP

A. Installation and Adjustment


The synchrophaser pickups are located in a bracket adjacent to each propeller deicer brush block. The
pickup should be installed and adjusted as follows:

(1) Ensure that battery and generator switches are off and the external power source is disconnected.

(2) Remove the lower forward engine cowling in accordance with COWLING REMOVALS, Chapter
71-10-00.

(3) Install the pickup into the mounting bracket and secure with the mounting locknuts.

NOTE: For proper function of the propeller synchrophaser, the pickup must be installed as
follows: 5° behind the blade for the left hand propeller; 20° ahead of the blade for the right
hand propeller.

(4) Adjust the magnetic pickup to obtain a reference gap of 0.050-inch between the magnetic pickup
tip and the target.

(5) Tighten the locknuts at 25 inch-pounds.

(6) Connect the two electrical leads.

(7) Perform the MAGNETIC PICKUP VOLTAGE CHECKS procedure in the TROUBLESHOOTING
section. Record the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) values for each pickup. Optimum voltage output is
between 4 and 110 volts.

(8) Readjust the pickups as required to obtain matching voltage outputs from each pickup. Move the
pickup away from the target to decrease the voltage output and closer to the target to increase the
voltage output. Altering gap by 0.007-inch will increase/decrease voltage by approximately 0.5
volt.

(9) Repeat Steps (7) and (8) as required to match the voltage outputs from each pickup. Install the
cowling in accordance with COWLING INSTALLATION in Chapter 71-10-00.

(10) Torque the locknut on the pickup to a maximum of 25 inch-pounds and safety wire the locknut.

(11) If the connector plug was previously disconnected, connect the plug to the control box.

(12) Perform the SYNCHROPHASER FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure in the TROUBLESHOOTING


section.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL
The PT6A-65B engines installed on the airplane are of the “free turbine” type. Each engine utilizes two
independent turbine sections: one driving the compressor in the gas generator section and the second
(two-stage power turbine) driving the propeller shaft through a reduction gearbox (Ref. Figure 201, in the
Maintenance Practices section). Each engine is self-sufficient since its gas generator driven oil system
provides lubrication for all areas of the engine, pressure for the torquemeter and power for propeller pitch
control. Inlet air enters the engine through an annular plenum chamber, formed by the compressor inlet case,
where it is directed forward to the compressor. The PT6A-65B engine compressor consists of four axial
stages combined with a single centrifugal stage, assembled as an integral unit. The engine is equipped with a
compressor wash ring at the compressor air inlet case. A row of stator vanes, located between each stage of
compression, diffuses the air, raises its static pressure and directs it to the next stage of compression. The
compressed air passes through diffuser tubes which turn the air through 90° in direction and convert velocity
to static pressure. The diffused air then passes through straightening vanes to the annulus surrounding the
combustion chamber liner assembly. The combustion chamber liner consists of two annular wrappers bolted
together at the front dome-shaped end. The outer wrapper incorporates an integral large exit duct. The liner
assembly has perforations of various sizes that allow entry of compressor delivery air. The flow of air changes
direction 180° as it enters and mixes with fuel. The fuel/air mixture is ignited and the resultant expanding
gases are directed to the turbines.
Fuel is supplied by a dual manifold consisting of primary and secondary transfer tubes and adapters. The fuel
is then injected into the combustion chamber liner through 14 individual nozzles arranged in two sets of
seven. The fuel/air mixture is ignited by two spark ignitors which protrude into the liner. The resultant gases
expand from the liner, reverse direction in the exit duct zone and pass through the compressor turbine inlet
guide vanes to the single-stage compressor turbine. The guide vanes ensure that the expanding gases
contact the turbine blades at the correct angle, with minimum loss of energy. The still expanding gases are
then directed forward to drive the power turbine section. The two-stage power turbine, consisting of the
first-stage guide vane and turbine and the second-stage inlet guide vane and turbine, drives the propeller
shaft through a reduction gearbox.
The compressor and power turbines are located in the approximate center of the engine with their respective
shafts extending in opposite directions. The exhaust gas from the power turbine is collected, routed into the
exhaust duct assembly and directed to the atmosphere by twin opposed exhaust stubs. Interturbine
temperature (T5) is monitored by an integral bus-bar, probe and harness assembly installed between the
compressor and power turbines with the probes projecting into the gas path. A terminal block mounted on the
gas generator case provides a connection point to the flight compartment instrumentation. All engine-driven
accessories, with the exception of the propeller governor, overspeed governor and tachometer-generator, are
mounted on the accessory gearbox at the rear of the engine. These components are driven by the
compressor by means of a coupling shaft which extends the drive through a tube at the center of the oil tank.
The engine oil supply is contained in an integral oil tank which forms the rear section of the compressor inlet
case. The tank has a total capacity of 2.35 U.S. gallons and is provided with a dipstick.
Refer to the engine Maintenance Manual for complete description and maintenance information on the
engine and accessories.

C. Buildup
CAUTION: Consult the Pratt and Whitney PT6A-65B Engine Maintenance Manual before attempting to
remove the new engine from the shipping container.
Engine buildup consists of the installation of accessories and equipment on the new engine. Refer to
the Pratt and Whitney PT6A-65B Engine Maintenance Manual for removal and replacement
procedures. After all accessories have been installed, complete the engine buildup as follows:
NOTE: Tag or identify all hoses, bolts, nuts, washers, electrical connectors, and note harness clamp
locations for installation on the new engine. Cap all open hoses and engine ports to prevent
contamination.

(1) Remove the engine mount (vibration isolators) from the old engine and install on the new engine.

NOTE: All engine mounts (vibration isolators) on an engine must be of the same manufacturer
and type. The engine mount (vibration isolator) may be rebuilt by the replacement of the
molded rubber assembly.

(2) Torque the engine mount (vibration isolator) attaching bolts to engine case 225 to 300 inch pounds
(Ref. Table 202, ENGINE INSTALLATION, AND BUILDUP AND TRUSS MOUNT TORQUES,
71-20-00).

(3) Remove the bleed air adapter from the old engine and install on the new engine using the same
bolt and washer combination, with a new gasket.

(4) Remove engine control brackets and supports from the old engine and install on the new engine.

(5) Remove the exhaust stacks and install on corresponding (left or right) exhaust ports.

2. FUEL CONTROL UNIT

A. Purge and Soak Procedure


CAUTION: Throughout the following procedure, observe the starter operating limits of 30 seconds ON,
10 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF, 30
seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF.

(1) To purge the fuel control unit of preservation oil, install the unit on the engine and connect it to the
airplane fuel supply. Install a suitable line between the fuel control outlet and a clean container.

(2) With the ignition OFF, and the fuel control lever in the IDLE position, motor the engine until clean
fuel flows from the fuel outlet. During the motoring run, move the fuel lever from the IDLE to
CUTOFF position to ascertain fuel shutoff.

(3) Remove the line used to purge the fuel control unit and connect the engine plumbing to the fuel
control outlet. Check the installation for leakage.

NOTE: An eight-hour soaking period is recommended following the purging procedure. This will
enable the bypass valve diaphragm to regain the pliability it possessed during unit
calibration and will permit the synthetic packing in the unit to swell for a satisfactory seal.
CAUTION: Before attempting a start, motor the engine with the fuel shutoff to ensure that all fuel
has been purged from the engine.

3. HANDLING FUEL NOZZLES


Extreme care should be exercised when handling fuel nozzles; even fingerprints on the orifice may produce a
poor spray pattern. If fuel nozzles are not to be installed in the engine immediately, they should be placed in a
covered container to prevent exposure to dirt. If nozzles are to be shipped or stored, they must be separately
and securely wrapped. Packing nozzles together in a single container which allows relative movement will
damage orifice faces.

4. ENGINE WASHING PROCEDURES


CAUTION: The compressor bleed air must be capped off when washing the compressor.
For both external and compressor washing procedures for the PT6A-65B engine, refer to the Pratt and
Whitney PT6A-65B Engine Maintenance Manual.
CAUTION: For continuous cycling, use of the starter is limited to 30 seconds ON, 10 minutes OFF, 30
seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF. For engine clearing and restart, use of the starter is limited to 30
seconds ON, 3 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF.
Before any external engine washing, cover or protect all electrical components and plugs located
on the engine or in the engine compartment. Do not allow water to enter the engine air inlet or
exhaust. High pressure water or solvent should not be directed on electrical components or
mechanical parts having air vent holes. After washing the engine blow dry the components with
dry shop air.
NOTE: The following engine wash cycle limitations are applicable to Lucas Aerospace starter-generator
installations.

1. GENERAL

A. Engine Truss Assembly


The engine is supported by a welded tubular truss assembly of 4130 chrome molybdenum steel, which
is bolted to the nacelle firewall at four attaching points.

B. Engine Mounts
Four engine mounts (vibration isolators) are utilized to secure the engine to the truss assembly and
dampen engine vibration to the airframe structure. Each engine mount is attached to the engine by four
bolts, and each isolator is anchored to the truss assembly with one bolt (Ref. Figure 201, in the
Maintenance Practices section). Individual engine mounts may be replaced or overhauled without
removing the engine provided the weight of the engine is adequately supported. For detailed
instructions on the removal and installation of engine mounts, refer to ENGINE BUILDUP and ENGINE
INSTALLATION, 71-00-00. All engine mounts (vibration isolators) on an engine must be of the same
manufacturer and type.

1. TRUSS ASSEMBLY

A. Installation
Should the engine truss assemblies be removed for any reason, or a new truss assembly be installed,
the following Steps should be followed to ensure proper alignment with the firewall and the engine
cowling:

(1) Position the truss assembly up to the firewall and install only those bolts at which the truss
assembly attach points are flush with the firewall (Ref. Figure 201). Torque these bolts 365 to 390
inch-pounds. If at least one thread does not protrude through the barrel nut, remove the
AN960-616 washer from the bolt and torque as above.

(2) Check the remaining attach points. If all attach points are flush with the firewall, the attach bolts
may be installed at these points and torqued 365 to 390 inch pounds (Ref. Table 202).

(3) If the remaining attach points are not flush with the firewall, measure the gap. If the gap does not
exceed 0.100 inch, install a shim (of 321 stainless steel), or combination of shims equating the
proper thickness, between the truss and the firewall (Ref. Table 201). The bolt, then, is to be
installed and torqued as called out in Step (1). If the gap exceeds 0.100 inch between the truss
assembly and the firewall, contact Hawker Beechcraft Customer Service for evaluation and
recommended action.

(4) If the engine truss assembly is removed from the firewall to install the engine after aligning the
truss assembly with the firewall, install the engine into the engine truss assembly and install the
truss assembly and engine up to the firewall assembly using the shims that were established for
proper alignment on the engine truss assembly.

(5) If the engine and engine truss assembly was built-up off the airplane without checking proper
alignment with the firewall, the engine and truss assembly must be positioned up to the firewall
and those bolts at which the truss attach points are flush with the firewall are to be installed.
Remove the attach bolts to the engine isolator and engine truss, lift the engine clear of the engine
truss assembly, then perform the procedure to check for proper alignment with the firewall as
noted in Steps (1), (2), and (3).

(6) Check the fit of the engine cowling to ensure that no binding or twisting is prevalent. If any binding
or twisting is noted, repeat the above procedure.

B. Engine Truss Bolt Torque Check


NOTE: This procedure provides data on checking the torque of the truss bolts on a previously installed
truss. The weight of the engine and propeller does not change this procedure therefore it is not
necessary to support the engine during the torque check. Perform this procedure on each of
the four bolts attaching the truss to the nacelle structure, aft of the firewall.

(1) Check that the torque applied to bolt (7) is 365 to 390 inch-pounds. (Ref. Figure 201 and
Table 202).

(2) Verify that at least one thread of bolt (7) protrudes through the barrel nut.

(3) If bolt (7) does not protrude through the barrel nut, verify that an MS20002C6 washer (6) is
installed under the head of the bolt. If an additional AN960-616 washer is installed on the bolt
head, remove the flat washer. If one thread of the bolt still does not protrude through the barrel nut,
replace the bolt.

(4) Verify that bolt (7) does not touch the barrel nut retainer.

(5) If bolt (7) touches the barrel nut retainer, verify that a MS20002C6 washer (6) is installed under the
head of the bolt. Verify that an AN960-616 or AN960-616L washer (3) is installed on the bolt.

(6) If washer (3) and an AN960-616L washer are installed on bolt (7) and the bolt still touches the
barrel nut retainer, replace the bolt.

2. INSPECTION CRITERIA

A. Isolators Only
The following inspection criteria are intended only to be a general rule of thumb when evaluating
vibration isolators. If a particular isolator pair does not quite meet any single criterion, but has a large
percentage of several, it would be prudent to change out the isolator.
The important point to bear in mind when evaluating isolators for replacement is that degradation due to
repeated torque loadings tends to be a gradual phenomenon. The presence of cracks in any of the
zones listed does indicate some degradation, but the rate of decrease in stiffness does not accelerate
appreciably until a very high percentage of the elastomer/plate interface is visibly separated
(Ref. Figure 202).

(1) Figure 202, Zone 1: The elastomer separation from the outer (cast) plate must not exceed 75% of
the region along the radius of the isolator (shaded area).

(2) Figure 202, Zone 2: The elastomer separation from the inner (stamped) plate or cracks in the
elastomer along the length of the elastomer/plate interface must not exceed 75% of this distance.

(3) Figure 202, Zone 3: Any transverse tears (plate to plate) of the elastomer must not exceed 50% of
the elastomer thickness: zone 3 is the most likely place for this to occur.

(4) Figure 202, Zone 4: If tears to any degree exist in Zones 1, 2 or 3 and if elastomer separation from
the inner plate approaches 100% of the area along the radius of the isolator, the isolator must be
replaced.

1. GENERAL

A. Engine Fuel Purge System


The fuel purge system is designed to ensure that any residual by fuel in the fuel manifolds is consumed
during engine shutdown. During engine operation, compressor discharge air (P3 air) is routed through a
filter and check valve pressurizing a small air tank mounted on the engine truss mount. On engine
shutdown the pressure differential between the air tank and fuel manifolds causes air to be discharged
from the air tank, through a check valve and into the fuel manifold system. The air forces all residual
fuel, remaining in the fuel manifolds, out through the nozzles and into the combustion chamber
(Ref. Figure 1).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The spark ignition system of the PT6A-65B engine provides quick light-ups over a wide temperature range.
The system includes a solid state ignition exciter designed to be mounted on the airframe, two individual high
tension cable assemblies, and two spark igniters. Although designed to be energized by the 28 VDC electrical
system of the airplane, the ignition system will function effectively over a range of 9 to 30 volts.
The sealed unit of the ignition exciter encases in epoxy resin the solid state circuitry, transformer, and diodes
required to transform the DC input to a high voltage output. When the ignition exciter is energized, a capacitor
is progressively charged until the energy stored is sufficient to ionize a spark gap in the unit and discharge the
capacitor across the two spark igniters through a dividing and step-up transformer network. The network is
designed so that one igniter will continue to function even though the other is open or shorted. The network
also enables the capacitor to discharge automatically should either or both igniters become inoperative, or
should input voltage be switched off.
The electrical energy output from the ignition exciter to the spark igniters on the engine is delivered by two
ignition cable assemblies, each consisting of an electrical lead contained in flexible metal braiding. The
cables are equipped with coupling nuts at each end for connection to the ignition exciter and spark igniter.
The spark igniters are mounted adjacent to the fuel manifold at the 4 and 9 o'clock positions on the gas
generator case. Each spark igniter is a double-ended, threaded plug with a central positive electrode
enclosed in annular semiconducting material. The electrical potential produced by the ignition exciter is
applied across the gap between the central conductor and the igniter shell (ground). A small current passes
across the semiconducting material of the spark igniter as the potential developed by the ignition exciter
increases. This current increases until the air between the central conductor and the shell ionizes into a high
energy discharge between the electrodes. The resultant spark always occurs at some point in the annular
space between the central conductor and its shell.

2. AUTOIGNITION SYSTEM
The autoignition system is designed to provide automatic ignition when engine torque falls too low. This
system ensures ignition during take-off, landing, turbulence, and during adverse conditions of icing weather.
The autoignition control switch on the left subpanel is wired to a pressure switch mounted adjacent to the
torque pressure transmitter just forward and above the exhaust outlet on each engine (Ref. Figure 1). This
switch monitors torquemeter oil pressure. When the control switch is in the ARM position and engine torque
drops below 400 foot-pounds, the pressure switch closes to provide power from a 5-ampere circuit breaker on
the right circuit breaker panel to energize the engine igniter and illuminate the IGNITION ON light (green) in
the annunciator panel located forward of the pedestal. The igniter will continue to function until engine torque
increases enough to actuate the pressure switch and break the circuit to the igniter and annunciator lights.
For extended ground operation, the autoignition system should be turned off to prolong the service life of the
igniter units.

1. SPARK IGNITERS
WARNING: Residual voltage in the ignition exciter may be dangerously high. If a spark igniter is to be
removed, remove power from the ignition system and ensure the system has been
inoperative for at least six minutes prior to removing any ignition components. Always
disconnect couplings at the exciter first and use insulated tools to remove the nuts. Do
not touch output connectors or coupling nuts with bare hands.
To check the spark igniters for proper operation, disconnect one lead at the ignition exciter and listen for the
discharge of the spark igniter that is still connected, then repeat the procedure for the other spark igniter. The
igniters will spark at a rate of 0.8 to 1.0 spark per second with 9 volts applied and up to a rate of 1.4 to 4.0
sparks per second with 30 volts applied.

2. IGNITER PLUG

A. Cleaning and Inspection


The spark igniters, located at the 4 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions on the gas generator case, are
air-cooled, threaded plugs with a central positive electrode enclosed in an annular semiconducting shell.
The plug should be removed, cleaned and inspected as follows:
WARNING: Residual voltage in the ignition exciter may be dangerously high. Remove power
from the ignition system and ensure the system has been inoperative for at least six
minutes prior to removing any ignition components. Always disconnect couplings
at the exciter first and use insulated tools to remove the nuts. Do not touch output
connectors or coupling nuts with bare hands.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
Three engine controls for each engine are mounted on the pedestal between the pilot’s and copilot’s control
columns. The engine controls control all adjustable aspects of the operating engine. The controls from left to
right on the pedestal are the power levers, propeller levers and condition levers. The different levers are also
distinguished from one another by the shape of the knobs on each lever (Ref. Figure 1).

2. POWER LEVERS
The power levers control the amount of power the engines are delivering to the propellers. This function (N1)
is measured by means of a percentage of maximum gas generator speed. Propeller reversing and reverse
power are controlled by the power levers as well. A preset idle speed can be selected through detents on the
pedestal control mount. A ground fine detent provides for a further flattening of the propeller blade angle
during ground roll, achieving more efficient aerodynamic braking. There should be no change in N1 when the
power lever is moved through the idle detent and into the ground fine detent. The idle and ground fine range
should produce an N1 of 59% ± 1%.

The power levers control the reversing mechanisms by means of linkages attached to the power lever
cambox assemblies, mounted forward of the fuel control unit on the rear of the engine. A linkage from the
cambox assembly is connected to the beta valve actuating arm, located on the propeller governor.
When the power levers are moved through the ground fine detent into the reversing range, the beta valve
position is changed, allowing the propeller blades to move from the ground fine blade angle into the reverse
pitch blade angle. A control linkage from the cambox assembly is connected to the fuel control unit providing
control movements to the fuel control unit.
When the power lever is in the maximum reverse position, a tab on the fuel control unit contacts the
maximum reverse power stop and the lost motion link (airbleed link), through the beta cable interconnect,
resets maximum reverse propeller speed.

3. PROPELLER CONTROLS
The propeller control levers are connected to the speed adjusting lever of the propeller governor through
control linkages. The propeller governor is located in the 12-o’clock position on the forward portion of the
reduction gearbox.
High rpm, low rpm and feathered markings on the pedestal indicate the forward and aft positions of the
propeller levers. Propeller and governor operation is discussed in Chapter 61 of this maintenance manual.

4. CONDITION LEVERS
Control linkages connect the fuel condition levers to lever and stop mechanisms on top of the fuel control
units. High idle, low idle and cutoff markings on the pedestal allow for the preset selection of the various fuel
conditions.
When the condition lever is in the CUTOFF position, the fuel condition cam moves against the cutoff stop and
actuates a lever depressing the fuel cutoff valve on the fuel control unit.
Gas generator speed is controlled by the amount of fuel metered into the engine. Metering of the fuel is a
function of valve position in the fuel control unit and of P3 bleed air pressure.

4. ENGINE CONTROL

A. Rigging
The following rigging instructions produce nominal settings of the operating parameters of the engine.
Any time an engine is removed, the fuel control unit is changed, the propeller governor is replaced or
any other time the adjustments of one of these units is disturbed, the engine controls rigging procedure
should be performed, all or in part.
These rigging procedures yield only nominal results; a ground check and final adjustment must be
performed any time a rigging procedure is completed. Results of the operating parameters of each
engine should be recorded and final adjustments must be made to restore the engine to its original
performance parameters.
The following final adjustments to the engine operating parameters are permitted to field technicians:
• 1500 rpm torque per Chart 2 ± 50 foot-pounds and ± 20 foot-pounds between engines
• Lo-idle speed of 58 to 61%
• Hi-idle speed of 70% ± 1%
• Max N1 of 104%, 95% with the max N1 shim tool in place
• Max N2 of 1700 rpm.
• Max reverse N1 of 87% ± 1%

5. POWER LEVERS

A. Rigging
WARNING: Misadjustment of the beta valve can cause unplanned feathering of the propeller.
Resulting in a possible hazard to airplane operation and overtorque damage to the
engine (Ref. Figure 208).

(1) Install a pin through the rigging hole in the lower LH side of the pedestal and through the two
power lever bellcranks.

(2) Adjust the pedestal interconnect rods until the power levers line up in the same position. Both
power levers should be against the idle stop.

(3) Install a pin through the rigging hole in the cambox; a No. 41 drill bit can be used as the rig pin
(Ref. Figure 205).

Page 208
Nov 1/10 76-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Connect the power lever cable end to the cambox input lever. The lever may be adjusted on the
input lever shaft as necessary to facilitate connecting the power lever cable to the input lever.

(5) Adjust the power lever cable end as necessary to ensure that the angle of the input lever is equal
to the angle of the input lever on the opposite engine. The input levers should be situated in a
nearly horizontal position. To control backlash at idle settings, a maximum of two springs may be
used on the power control cable (Ref. Figure 205)

NOTE: The input lever must be in a 9-o’clock to 10-o’clock position, otherwise the rig pin hole will
be covered up by the input lever bolt.

(6) Disconnect the beta cable from the cambox to avoid damaging the carbon block in the propeller
feedback ring.

(7) Adjust the cambox-to-fuel-control-unit of the interconnect rod to a length of 8.25-inches as


measured from the centers of the attach holes.

(8) The interconnect rod should be installed between the top hole on the fuel control unit arm and the
next-to-top hole on the cambox.

(9) Remove the rig pins from the cambox and the pedestal power levers.

(10) Place a protractor on the cambox input lever.

(11) Pull the power lever back into the reverse range as far as necessary in order to get the
dead-band-stop screw to move off the dead-band stop. Slowly move the power lever forward until
the dead-band-stop screw hits the stop. The screw should be against the stop such that a piece of
paper between the screw and the stop is held tightly and any further motion in the reverse direction
will release the paper (Ref. Figure 206).

(12) Measure the angle of the cambox input lever.

(13) Push the power lever forward to the point where the stop screw is about to lift off the stop, but will
still grip the piece of paper tightly.

(14) Measure the cambox input lever angle again. The difference between the two angular
measurements represents the dead-band travel and should be 11° to 12°. Adjust the
dead-band-stop screw as necessary to obtain the proper dead-band travel. One full turn out of the
dead-band-stop screw will widen the dead band 1.32°.

(15) Check that the dead-band-stop screw first contacts the stop slightly before the pedestal power
lever goes into idle and that dead-band-stop screw begins to lift off the stop as the pedestal power
lever goes into reverse.

(16) Place the pedestal power levers in idle. Check that the rig pin will fit into the rig pin hole. If it does
not, adjust the input lever on the input lever shaft.

(17) Once the amount of dead-band travel has been properly set, the dead-band travel can be
repositioned between ground fine and idle by adjusting the serrated washer on the upper fuel
control arm (Ref. Figure 206). A movement of one serration will result in a 0.6° change in the
position of the input arm. Fine adjustments of the position of the dead band may be made by
adjusting the length of the interconnect rod.

Page 209
76-00-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: If it is impossible to position the dead band between idle and ground fine, it is permissible
to widen the dead band by an amount not to exceed 1° forward of the idle detent or 1° aft
of the ground fine detent.
CAUTION: Once the beta cable is connected to the cambox lever, no further attempts to place the
power levers in reverse should be made unless the engine is running.

(18) Connect the beta cable to the cambox cam in the second hole from the top.

NOTE: When lengthening the beta cable by adjusting the rod ends, leave at least one thread
visible inside the inspection hole.

(19) The beta cable should be adjusted at either the forward or aft rod ends so that the flat surface of
the clevis on the beta valve plunger is flush with the forward surface of the conical cap nut on the
propeller governor beta valve. This adjustment should be made with the propeller solenoids
de-energized (Ref. Figure 207).

(20) Adjust the airbleed link (lost motion link) until a 0.1-inch gap between the upper and lower halves is
apparent.

NOTE: Three complete turns of either upper or lower end adjustment of the airbleed link is
equivalent to 0.1-inch.

6. CONDITION LEVERS

A. Rigging
(1) Place the condition lever in the LOW IDLE detent.

(2) Install a rig pin through the rig pin hole in the lever stop assembly on the left side of the fuel control
lever (Ref. Figure 206).

(3) Adjust the condition lever cable end or the input lever position as necessary and connect the cable
to the fuel lever stop assembly.

(4) Remove the rig pin from the fuel lever stop assembly.

7. PROPELLER LEVERS

A. Rigging
(1) Place the propeller lever in FEATHER.

(2) Adjust the cable end so that the feather dump valve plunger is fully compressed and bottomed-out
when the cable is connected to the speed adjusting lever on the propeller governor
(Ref. Figure 207).

(3) Check that the bolt connecting the cable to the governor lever does not strike the governor body.

8. PROPELLER GROUND-FINE SOLENOID

A. Rigging
WARNING: Misadjustment of the beta valve can cause unplanned feathering of the propeller.
Resulting in a possible hazard to airplane operation and overtorque damage to the
engine (Ref. Figure 208).

(1) Install the solenoid in the supporting bracket with the aft surface of the solenoid flush with the aft
portion of the support bracket.

(2) Connect the solenoid arm to the propeller reversing lever (Ref. Figure 207).

(3) Position the solenoid bracket on the beta cable housing so that the distance between the forward
surface of the solenoid and the center of the clevis pin through the end of the solenoid plunger is
0.5-inch.

(4) Assure that all hardware is tight and that the safety wires are installed at the beta cable end as
appropriate.

9. GROUND-FINE

A. Check
(1) Ground fine check shall be done with full fuel (for UA and UB series airplanes) or full mains (for UC
series) with the airplane setting on a flat surface. If any wind exists, the check shall be done in a
crosswind condition.

CAUTION: To avoid overheating the cabin windows, do not run the engines in the feathered
position while in a quartering to crosswind condition.

(2) Check that N1 remains at idle N1 setting and N2 increases slightly, indicating that the propeller
pitch has shifted to a lower setting (N1 should not begin to increase until power levers are lifted
and moved aft of the ground fine stop). Advance power levers forward, then pull back to ground
idle position.

(3) Without brakes, advance the condition levers from low idle to high idle. Check that N2 increases
and that the airplane does not move forward or backwards.

(4) If the airplane has forward movement, reposition the beta cable on the cambox to the next higher
hole (Ref. Figure 205). Adjust the clevis on the aft end of the beta cable so that previous settings
are not changed. If the beta cable is in the top hole, no further adjustments are possible. If an
adjustment is made, return to Step (2).

(5) If the airplane has movement aft and the beta cable has just been moved up one hole, no more
adjustments are possible and the clevis shall be positioned to the previous hole down. If the
airplane has aft movement and the clevis is in the bottom hole, return to the ground fine rigging
and power lever rigging position and recheck. If an adjustment has been made, return to Step (2).

10. ENGINE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS


Prior to beginning any final adjustment procedures to the engine controls, a ground performance check must
be performed. The ground performance work sheet should be used to record engine performance data. Refer
to Table 201. The worksheet may be retained following final engine controls adjustments for the purpose of
documentation of proper engine performance and controls rigging.
WARNING: Never make adjustments or perform any of these maintenance procedures while the
engine is running.

A. Ground Performance Check Procedure


When performing this procedure, it should be noted that at least two of the performance parameters will
be outside the expected limits when a fault is in the engine. If only one performance parameter is
suspect, it can be assumed that the problem is in the indicating system for that parameter and a check
of that system must be performed.

(1) Install the Bauer Howden Inc. max N1 shim tool (WT107901) on the condition lever shaft stop tab
so the LH side of the tool is flush with the LH side of the stop tab (Ref. Figure 206).

NOTE: If the max N1 shim tool is not available, N1 will have to be checked during the test flight.

(2) Verify that the feather valve plungers on the propeller GOVERNORS are fully compressed when
the propeller controls are in the FEATHER position.

(3) Verify that the fuel cutoff is functioning properly (Ref. FUEL CUTOFF CHECK).

(4) Start the engines and allow the oil temperature to increase well into the operating range.

(5) Check the dead-band position. N1 should remain constant between the idle and ground fine
detents; however, N1 should rise as the power levers are moved forward from IDLE and when
moved aft from GND FINE.

(6) Idle speed should be 58 to 61%; if not, discontinue this procedure and go to LOW IDLE
ADJUSTMENT.

(7) Place power levers in idle, condition levers at high idle and note prop N2 rpm. Hold prop test switch
in low pitch position, note L&R prop rpm decrease of approximately 200 rpm. Ensure rpm has
stabilized. Release prop test switch, note prop rpm returns to original noted value.

(8) With the power lever in the idle detent, place the propeller lever in high rpm and the condition lever
in high idle. Place the propeller test switch in the low pitch position. Advance the power lever to
1500 rpm N2 record the engine 1500 rpm torque.

(9) A setting of 1500 rpm torque should correspond to the value obtained from the 1500 rpm torque
graph (Ref. Chart 2 Figure 209) ± 50 foot-pounds, and torque readings between engines should
agree within 20 foot-pounds. Refer to ENGINE TORQUE ADJUSTMENT.

(10) Place the propeller test switch in the OFF position and record the 1500 rpm torque.

Page 217
76-00-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(11) This 1500 rpm torque should correspond to the values (+ 0 to 150 foot-pounds) on the graph.
Refer to Chart 3, in Figure 210.

NOTE: In the event the torque is out of tolerance, check for binding at the beta cable and solenoid
mechanism, then adjust the solenoid aft in the bracket to lower torque or forward in the
bracket to increase torque. If adjusting the solenoid does not result in an acceptable
torque reading, refer to the propeller manual for adjusting the propeller low pitch stops,
then return to this procedure.

(12) With the power levers in the idle detent, advance the condition levers to the HI-IDLE position; this
should yield an N1 of 69 to 71%; if not, discontinue this procedure, and adjust the high idle speed.
Refer to HIGH IDLE ADJUSTMENT.

(13) Check for power lever mismatch by moving the power levers forward and aft while observing the
N1 responses; should a mismatch exist, refer to POWER LEVER ALIGNMENT.

(14) Advance the power levers to the maximum forward position. Record the N1 readings.

(15) Retard the power levers and move the levers into the full-reverse range. Record the N1 readings.

(16) Maximum forward and reverse N1 can now be adjusted if no power lever mismatch exits.
Maximum forward N1 is 95% with the max N1 shim tool in place; max reverse N1 is 88%.

Example:
Pressure Altitude A = 1350 ft.
Outside Air Temperature B = 27° C

(a) Draw a line horizontally from a point on the left side of the graph corresponding to the current
pressure altitude, point A.

(b) Draw a line upward from a point on the bottom of the graph corresponding to the current
IOAT, point B.

(c) Adjust the engine 1500 rpm torque to the torque value where the two lines from points A and
B intersect, point C.

(17) Advance the power levers until maximum propeller rpm is reached. Propeller rpm should advance
to 1700 rpm if the propeller governor is properly adjusted; otherwise refer to PROPELLER
GOVERNOR ADJUSTMENT.

(18) Shut down the engines and remove the max N1 shim tool.

(19) Check that all cotter pins and safety wiring are correctly installed and that all clevis end nuts are
properly tightened and safetied.

(20) Perform the ENGINE OPERATING PARAMETERS CHECK.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Engine Operating Parameters Check


NOTE: Engine parameter check data is used to evaluate the effects of component replacement,
inaccuracies in the engine instruments or progressive hot section deterioration; however, such
data should never be used as the sole criteria for determining the airworthiness of an engine.
Refer to the MINIMUM TAKE-OFF POWER Chart and procedures in the appropriate Pilot’s
Operating Handbook to determine if the engines are producing sufficient power for airworthy
operation.
The graphs for engine operating parameter checks are presented as torque versus ambient
temperature and pressure so that engine parameters can be checked over a wide range of conditions
without overtorquing the reduction gearbox. Periodic engine checks must be carried out and changes in
engine parameters noted.
All forms of engine deterioration will be accompanied by an increase in interstage turbine temperature
and fuel flow at a given power. Compressor deterioration will, in most cases, be due to dirt deposits and
will effect an increase in gas generator speed to obtain a given power setting. This form of deterioration
can be remedied by compressor washing as described in the engine maintenance manual. Hot-section
deterioration will cause a decrease in the gas generator speed, an increase in fuel flow and an increase
in ITT for a given power setting.
NOTE: Prior to beginning the following checks, the engine cowling must be in place in order to ensure
consistency of engine check parameters.

(1) Determine the field barometric pressure.

NOTE: This pressure may be obtained by setting the altimeter to zero and reading the pressure
from the Kollsman window or by contacting the local Flight Service for an uncorrected
pressure reading. Do not use the sea level pressure normally reported by the tower.

(2) Record the outside air temperature in degrees Celsius.

(3) Obtain the target torque reading from Graph 1 of Chart 4, in Figure 211 by plotting temperature
against field barometric pressure.

(4) Start the engines and allow the oil temperature to increase to operating temperature.

(5) Position the airplane crosswind, 90° to the wind direction, to eliminate variation in parameters due
to changing wind velocity.

(6) Turn off the generator, bleed air and air conditioning on the engine to be checked.

(7) Check that the propeller levers are in high rpm.

(8) Bring the power levers forward to establish a torque indication equal to the target torque value
from Graph 1 of Chart 4, in Figure 211.

(9) Check that engine propeller rpm is governing at 1700 rpm.

(10) Record the N1 readings, ITT indications and the fuel flows from the engine being checked.

(11) Shut down the engines.

(12) Determine the reference fuel flow from Graph 2 of Chart 4, in Figure 211 by plotting the field
barometric pressure against the outside air temperature.

Page 219
76-00-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(13) Determine the reference N1 speed from Graph 3 of Chart 4, in Figure 211 based on outside air
temperature.

(14) Find the reference ITT value by plotting the outside air temperature to the ITT curve.

The graphs in Chart 4, in Figure 211 are based on a typical new installation. Minor differences
between engines and installations may produce results that are slightly different from the
reference values represented by the graphs; therefore, should the engine meet the minimum
takeoff power criteria as stated in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook, large variations of fuel flow and
ITT from the graph reference values may be indicative of faults within the engine’s indicating
systems. Should an engine parameter begin to drift progressively up or down during subsequent
checks, a trend toward engine deterioration may be assumed. A minimum takeoff power check
should be performed before the engine is declared nonairworthy. The real value of the graphs on
Chart 4, in Figure 211 is in giving the technician an approximation of where the engine parameters
should be for the typical new installation.
Detailed record keeping of engine performance parameters is all-important in detecting early
trends of change in performance. For that purpose, a good system of engine condition trend
monitoring should be employed by maintenance personnel so that preventive maintenance
measures may be accomplished well in advance of the development of more serious conditions.

C. Estimated Field Barometric Pressure Calculation


NOTE: This is an alternate method of obtaining field barometric pressure and should be used only in
instances where the Kollsman window is off scale.

(1) Set the altimeter to field elevation. Record the elevation and the barometric pressure from the
Kollsman window.

(a) Example: 1820 ft MSL at 29.84 inches Hg

(2) Use 1.0 inch Hg per 1,000 ft MSL of altitude to determine the estimated field barometric pressure.

(a) Example: 1820 ft MSL/1,000=1.82 inches Hg

(3) Subtract the 1.82 inches Hg from the barometric pressure recorded in Step (1) (a).

(a) Example: 29.84 inches Hg - 1.82 inches Hg=28.02 inches Estimated Field Barometric
Pressure

(4) Apply 28.02 inches Hg to the proper Charts. Refer to ENGINE OPERATING PARAMETERS
CHECK.

11. ENGINE POWER


This procedure is to help the mechanic determine if the engine is developing sufficient power to be
considered airworthy for safe operation at higher elevation airports. An engine that has deteriorated to the
condition that it would not develop sufficient takeoff power in hot ambient conditions at 9000 feet of elevation
may be completely sufficient in cooler ambient conditions at a lower elevation. Many factors, including the
engine controls being out of rig and malfunctioning components, could make a good engine appear
unairworthy. When using Chart 5 and Figure 212 to make an engine power check, refer to Chart 6 and the
graph in Figure 213 for an example of how the conditions defined in the Chart are plotted on the graph to
determine when engine ITT is within acceptable limits for safe operation at higher elevation airports.

A. Check
(1) Using the STATIC TAKE-OFF POWER AT 1700 RPM Chart in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook
and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual, determine the torque at which to set the engine
according to the outside air temperature and pressure altitude.

(2) Start the engine according to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual.

(3) Set the engine torque as determined in Step (1).

(4) Allow the engine to stabilize for two minutes.

(5) Record the torque, ITT, OAT and pressure altitude (PA) in Chart 5, Condition 1.

(6) Reduce the engine torque by 500 foot-pounds and allow the engine to stabilize for two minutes.

(7) Record the torque, ITT, OAT and PA in Chart 5, Condition 2.

(8) Shutdown the engine according to the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane
Flight Manual.

(9) Using a copy of Figure 212, plot the data from Step (5) as indicated in the following Steps:

(a) At the lower left corner of the Chart draw a vertical line up from the recorded torque to the
recorded OAT.

(b) From the recorded OAT draw a horizontal line to the right to the recorded PA.

(c) From the PA draw a vertical line up.

(d) At the upper left corner locate the recorded ITT and draw a vertical line down to the recorded
OAT.

(e) From the recorded OAT draw a horizontal line to the right.

(f) The intersecting point of the lines drawn in Substeps (c) and (e) is point A.

(10) Using the same copy of Figure 212, plot the data from Step (7) as indicated in the following
Substeps:

(a) At the lower left corner of the Figure 212, draw a vertical line up from the recorded torque to
the recorded OAT.

Page 226
Nov 1/10 76-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) From the recorded OAT draw a horizontal line to the right to the recorded PA.

(c) From the PA draw a vertical line up.

(d) At the upper left corner locate the recorded ITT and draw a vertical line down to the recorded
OAT.

(e) From the recorded OAT draw a horizontal line to the right.

(f) The intersecting point of the lines drawn in Substeps (c) and (e) is point B.

(11) Draw a line through points A and B.

(12) Using the STATIC TAKEOFF POWER AT 1700 RPM Chart in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook and
FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual, determine the takeoff torque setting required at the
expected OAT and PA.

(13) Using the same copy of Figure 212, enter the torque determined in Step (12) at the lower left
corner of the Chart and draw a vertical line up to the expected OAT used in Step (12).

(14) From the expected OAT point draw a horizontal line to the right until it intersects the expected PA.

(15) From the expected PA point draw a vertical line up to the line drawn in Step (11) and call the
intersection of the two lines point C.

(16) From point C draw a horizontal line to the left to the expected OAT used in Step (12).

(17) From the expected OAT point draw a vertical line up to the ITT scale at the upper left corner of the
Chart.

(18) If the ITT determined in Step (17) is less than the redline (820°C) for the engine, the engine is
acceptable for the anticipated flight.

12. FUEL CUTOFF

A. Check
(1) Disconnect the engine fuel line at the fuel flow divider.

(2) Place a container under the fuel line to catch any fuel that may be pumped out of the line during
this check.

(3) Motor the engine by placing the start control switch in the STARTER ONLY position.

(4) Move the condition lever forward and confirm that fuel flow is present.

(5) Place the condition lever in CUTOFF and confirm that the fuel flow has stopped.

(6) Reconnect the fuel line to the fuel flow divider.

Page 227
76-00-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

13. LOW IDLE

A. Adjustment
(1) Loosen the fuel control unit lever clamping screw (Ref. Figure 206). Do not confuse the nut in the
center of the fuel control unit with the clamping screw.

(2) Loosen one of the two idle adjustment screws and tighten the other to obtain the proper idle
adjustment setting (Ref. Figure 206). One flat on the allen screw will change the idle 4%. Loosen
the top screw to adjust the idle up or loosen the bottom screw to adjust the idle down.

(3) Tighten the fuel control unit lever clamping screw and safety wire the clamping screw and the idle
adjust screws.

(4) Any time low idle adjustments are changed, the maximum forward and reverse N1 schedule will
shift up or down with idle speed and must be set again.

(5) Go to the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE, Step (7).

14. ENGINE TORQUE

A. Adjustment
(1) Shorten the beta cable to lower idle torque by adjusting the beta cable end at the cambox. Idle
torque can be increased by lengthening the beta cable. Should insufficient threads remain in the
clevis of the beta cable to allow lengthening of the cable, the adjustment should be made at the
forward end of the cable.

(2) Tighten and safety wire the jam nuts.

(3) Go to the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE, Step (8).

15. HIGH IDLE


There are two possible procedures for adjusting the high idle speed of the engine. The first procedure should
always be the procedure of choice unless the condition levers are split, not properly aligned together; then the
second procedure would be the procedure of choice.

A. Adjustment (Condition Levers Not Split)


(1) Locate the high idle roller assembly on the main input shaft of the fuel control unit
(Ref. Figure 206).

(2) Adjusting the roller out will increase high idle speed 1.5% per one complete turn of the adjusting
nuts. Adjusting the roller in will decrease high idle speed 1.5% per one complete turn of the
adjusting nuts.

CAUTION: Do not set the roller so far out that the dead-band stop screw fails to ride against the
dead-band stop. Should this happen, reset the high idle stop screw to allow more
rotation of the condition lever shaft, then readjust the high idle roller.

(3) Go to the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE, Step (12).

Page 228
Nov 1/10 76-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Adjustment (Condition Levers Split)


(1) Locate the high idle stop adjusting screw (Ref. Figure 206).

(2) Turning the screw in will increase the high idle 1.6% for each flat of the screw head. Turning the
screw out will decrease the high idle speed 1.6% for each flat of the screw head.

(3) Safety wire the adjusting screw after making this adjustment.

(4) Go to the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE, Step (12).

16. MAXIMUM FORWARD AND REVERSE N1

A. Adjustment
(1) Locate the max forward N1 adjusting screw (Ref. Figure 206).

(2) Turning this screw in will increase max N1 0.3% per flat of the screw. Turning this screw out will
decrease max N1 0.3% per flat of the screw.

(3) Locate the max reverse stop adjusting screw.

(4) Turning this screw in will increase the max reverse N1 0.6% per flat of the screw. Turning this
screw out will decrease the max reverse N1 by 0.6% per flat of the screw.

(5) Safety wire the adjusting screws.

(6) Go to the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE, Step (16).

17. PROPELLER GOVERNOR

A. Adjustment
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the propeller governor while the engine is running.

(1) Remove the safety wire from the propeller governor adjusting screw.

(2) Turn the adjusting screw one turn for each 10 rpm of desired change. Turning the adjusting screw
clockwise will effect a decrease in maximum N2.

(3) After adjusting the governor, recheck the maximum propeller speed. More than one adjustment
may be necessary in order to achieve the proper rpm.

(4) Safety wire the adjusting screw.

18. POWER LEVERS

A. Alignment
(1) Place the power levers in IDLE.

(2) Measure the angles of both cambox input levers.

(3) Calculate the difference between the angles of the input levers by subtracting one from the other.

Page 229
76-00-00 Nov 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(4) Advance the power levers to the full-forward position and measure the angles of the cambox input
levers again.

(5) The difference between the angles of the input levers should be nearly the same as the difference
measured when the power levers were in the idle position.

(6) If the angular difference between the cambox input levers remained constant throughout the full
travel of the power levers, and the power lever mismatch is minor, split the difference by adjusting
the interconnect rod on each engine one-half of the amount required to realign the power levers.

(7) If the angular difference between the cambox input levers did not remain constant, check the
rigging of the power lever bellcranks in the pedestal. Refer to Step (1) in POWER LEVERS
RIGGING.

(8) Check the position of the dead band according to Step (15) in POWER LEVERS RIGGING. It may
be necessary to widen the dead bands slightly in order to cover the full range between the idle and
ground fine detents.

(9) If the previous attempts to correct the power lever mismatch failed, the fault may be in either the
fuel control unit or the engine.

NOTE: When attempting to match a new engine to an old engine, it may be necessary to alter the
adjustment of the rigging in the pedestal or to alter the engine-to-engine rigging of the
camboxes in order to match the power levers.
Fuel flows and ITT’s will not match between engines with differing amounts of use.

(10) Perform the GROUND PERFORMANCE CHECK PROCEDURE.

19. CONTROL CABLE REPAIRS AND CHECKS


Occasionally, should moisture be trapped within the control cable housing, freezing of the engine control
could occur during operation in very cold conditions. This procedure will help the technician identify possible
leaks and effect proper corrective action.

A. Equipment Required
• Vacuum Source
• Dry Nitrogen
• Dual Manifold and Gage Assembly
• Snap Ring Pliers
• Seal Kit (500-100-003, two required for each 3/16-inch cable)
• Seal Kit (500-100-005, two required for each 1/4-inch cable)

B. Leak Check Procedure


(1) Visually inspect cables for evidence of damage, such as crimps, cuts, unusually tight bends or
abrasions.

(2) Remove the snap ring washer and packing from the nacelle end of the suspect cable.

Page 230
Nov 1/10 76-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(3) Connect the manifold gage assembly to the control cable, and connect the vacuum source to one
side of the manifold.

(4) Apply vacuum (20 in. Hg.) to the cable, and close the valve which controls the vacuum side of the
manifold, thereby trapping the vacuum inside the cable housing.

(5) Monitor the vacuum gage; there should be no loss of vacuum pressure during a two minute period.

(6) Any loss of vacuum pressure will indicate either a leaking packing at the pedestal end of the cable,
or a leak in the cable housing cover.

(7) Refer to the following procedure for repair of faults revealed in this procedure.

C. Repairing Control Cables


NOTE: The following procedure applies to Teflon coated cables only and does not apply to stainless
steel braided cables. No repairs are authorized on stainless steel braided assemblies. Chaff
through the outer housing is justification for change.
This procedure can be used to repair cuts or cracks in the outer teflon covering of the cable only. More
extensive damage to the cable housing will necessitate replacing the cable. A repaired cable that
exhibits any additional signs of leaking or freezing should be retested and purged. If freezing still
persists, the cable should be replaced.

(1) Visually examine the cable to determine the extent of the damage. The cable assembly must be
discarded if the housing has been crushed, the binder or strand wires cut or if the binder or strand
wires have been contaminated by petroleum products or dirt.

(2) Clean the damaged area and the area within three inches either side of the damage, using a clean
cloth which has been dampened with 100% alcohol or triethane. Dry the area with a clean dry
cloth.

(3) Wrap the area two inches either side of the damaged area with pressure sensitive teflon tape
(0.005-inch-thick x 3/4-inch-wide extruded-type tape may be locally obtained). Wrapping should be
performed so that the tape overlaps itself by one-half its width.

(4) In areas subject to abrasion damage (clamp points and areas where the cable passes through
bulkheads or firewalls), a second layer of teflon tape should be applied. This layer should be
applied in the opposite direction of the first layer.

(5) Heat shrinking teflon tubing may be applied over the teflon tape to provide additional protection.
The recovered wall thickness of the heat shrinking teflon tubing should be approximately
0.010-inch. Maximum shrinkage may be obtained by using the largest size of tubing possible. The
heat shrinking tubing should extend at least 0.25-inch beyond the tape wrapped area.

(6) Heat the tubing above the crystalline melt point of the tubing (327 °F) with a forced air heat gun. As
the tubing begins to shrink, remove the heat (20 to 30% shrinkage takes place as the tubing
cools).

(7) Apply teflon heat shrinking tubing to the high abrasion areas when installing new control cables.

(8) After repairs have been effected, perform the following CABLE PURGING procedure.

D. Cable Purging
(1) Attach the dry nitrogen source to the gage manifold assembly.

(2) Remove the snap ring, packing and washer from the pedestal end of the suspect control cable.

(3) Apply 18 psig of dry nitrogen pressure to the cable for at least 15 minutes.

(4) Install a new packing, washer and snap ring on the pedestal end of the cable.

(5) Apply 10 psig of dry nitrogen pressure to the cable, trap the pressure in the cable, and monitor the
pressure gage for a two minute period. There should be no observed pressure loss.

(6) Remove the gage-manifold assembly and install a new packing, washer and snap ring on the
nacelle end of the cable.

(7) Connect the cable to the engine.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. GENERAL
Checks performed at Hawker Beechcraft facilities on engine indicating systems include the interturbine
temperature indicating system (ITT), gas generator speed (N1) indicating system, torquemeter system, fuel
flowmeter system, and the propeller speed (N2) indicator system.
Various analyzers and equipment are available for the purpose of checking and calibrating the engine
indicating systems; however, only the equipment used by Hawker Beechcraft facilities will be discussed in
this Chapter.
The JETCAL ANALYZER, a product of Howell Instruments, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas, is used by Hawker
Beechcraft facilities to check and calibrate the ITT indicator and N1 and N2 indicator systems.
The torquemeter system is checked by a precision pressure regulator gage assembly, manufactured by the
Heise Company and available through Hawker Beechcraft parts and service operations under the part
number 101-000000/934.
A mechanical flowrater is used in the check procedure for the fuel flowmeter system. Any precision flowrater
with a scale up to at least 700 pph can be used for this check.

1. PROCEDURES
The first indication that checks on the engine indicating systems may need to be performed would be that the
airplane engine had a shift in engine performance parameters.
Usually, when only one engine performance parameter is suspect, it can be assumed that a problem in the
indicating system for that parameter is present and an immediate check of that indicating system must be
performed. Normally, when the fault is in the engine, at least two of the performance parameters will be
outside the expected limits. In either case, the engine should never be automatically condemned without a
thorough investigation of the appropriate engine indicating systems.
Engine rigging should never be ruled out as a causative factor when an engine failed to meet the minimum
performance parameters.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. PROCEDURES
The following checks on the various engine indicating systems are compatible with analyzers and equipment
being used in Hawker Beechcraft facilities. Some modifications in these procedures may be necessary if
different equipment is used. All pressures, resistances and voltages are standard values and will remain
unaffected, regardless of the type of equipment being used.
Use of these analyzers and equipment by Hawker Beechcraft facilities does not necessarily constitute an
endorsement by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, as other factors affecting the accuracy of the equipment,
such as calibration, frequency of certification or misuse, must be taken into consideration before any
equipment may be used to check or calibrate the engine indicating systems.

2. INTERTURBINE TEMPERATURE (ITT) INDICATING SYSTEM


A series of thermal resistive temperature sensing probes, located in the interturbine gas flow between the first
stage and second stage turbines, are interconnected by a harness to form a continuous loop. The combined
resistance of the thermocouples, connected in parallel, and the harness is less than 8 ohms.
The resistance of the ITT loop is compensated to 8 ohms ± 0.05 ohms by the resistor thermocouple
compensator spool assembly located under the floor panel immediately inside the forward entry door. The
compensator spool is connected electrically in series with the thermocouple loop (Ref. Figure 201).
An adjustable ITT indicator, located in the instrument panel, completes the indicating system.
ITT loop resistance can be adjusted to a lower resistance by removing wire from the compensator spool or
increased, if excess wire has been left within the case and not separated from the spool, by winding wire back
onto the spool. The compensator spool assembly contains two spools. Only one of the spools is used at a
time. If wire has previously been removed from the spool and cut off, the alternate spool can be wired into the
system.
An adjusting screw on the back of the ITT indicator is used to calibrate the indicator to the same temperature
as indicated on the JETCAL unit.
The following resistance checks should be performed according to the instructions which are a part of the
particular Jetcal unit being used.
These checks should not be performed until at least 10 hours have elapsed since the engine was last run so
that the internal engine components and thermocouples will have cooled to ambient temperature.
The worksheet in Table 201 should be used to record the results of these checks and may be retained in the
airplanes records for the purpose of documentation.

(1) Place all switches on the Jetcal unit in the OFF position.

(2) Connect the power cable BH499A to the power input receptacle and to the power source.

(3) Connect the power interconnect cable between the two interconnect receptacles on the unit.

(4) Connect the BH485A instrument cable to the instrument cable receptacle and to the resistance
adapter BH823.

(5) Remove the ITT indicator from the instrument panel.

(6) Connect the airplane thermocouple harness leads to the terminal block on the resistance adapter
observing proper polarity.

(7) Place the resistance and A/C indicator check switch in the 8 ohm position.

(8) Place the function select switch in the RES position and the master power switch in the ON
position.

Page 202
May 1/10 77-00-00
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(9) Thermocouple loop resistance must be 8 ohms ± 0.05 ohms; if not, adjust the thermocouple spool
as necessary to bring the loop resistance within tolerance.

NOTE: Perform the ITT THERMOCOUPLE HARNESS INSULATION RESISTANCE CHECK


prior to making any adjustments to the thermocouple compensator spool.

B. Harness Insulation Resistance Check


If the thermocouple loop resistance is within acceptable limits, perform the following checks on the
harness insulation resistance:

(1) Place all switches on the Jetcal unit in the OFF position.

(2) Remove the resistance adapter from the instrument cable and connect the insulation resistance
adapter BH821 to the instrument cable.

(3) Place the function select switch in the INSUL position.

(4) Place the insulation check switch in the R X 1000 position.

(5) Place the master power switch in the ON position.

(6) Connect one lead of the insulation resistance adapter to one of the thermocouple harness leads
and connect the other lead of the insulation resistance adapter to an airplane ground.

(7) The insulation resistance meter should indicate 5,000 ohms or more.

(8) Connect the insulation resistance adapter leads to the other thermocouple harness lead and to an
airplane ground.

(9) Resistance should read 5,000 ohms or more. If either resistance reading is not within tolerance,
locate the short circuit and repair.

4. ITT INDICATOR

A. Calibration Check
The following check on the ITT indicator should be performed any time the indicator is suspected to be
in error or during Jetcal checks of other indicating instruments.
Should thermocouple harness resistances be found to be within acceptable limits, the fault will probably
be found in the indicator. The indicator may be non-functioning or simply needing a recalibration
adjustment due to seasoning of internal components or minor shock damage.
An adjustment screw on the back of the indicator is used to align the temperature indications on the
indicator with the temperature indications on the Jetcal unit. In the event the indicator has lost its linear
response to changes in thermocouple resistance, no adjustment can be made to correct this condition
and the indicator must be replaced.

(1) Place all switches on the Jetcal unit in the OFF position.

(2) Remove the insulation resistance adapter from the instrument cable.

(3) Connect the BH822 ITT indicator adapter to the instrument cable.

(4) Connect the ITT indicator adapter to the proper posts on the ITT indicator.

77-00-00 May 1/10
MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(5) Place the resistance and A/C indicator check switch in the 8-ohm position.

(6) Place the function select switch in the A/C IND CHK position.

(7) Place the temperature switch in the OPERATE position and turn the master power switch on.

(8) Set the test temperature on the Jetcal unit with the A/C IND ADJ control.

(9) The ITT indicator readings should match the temperature settings on the Jetcal unit within the
tolerances listed in Table 201.

(10) Adjust the ITT indicator as necessary.

(11) Seal the adjusting screw with Glyptol after calibration.

5. RPM INDICATOR SYSTEMS (N1 AND N2)

Gas generator speed (N1) is indicated as a percentage of the maximum allowable gas generator speed in
rpm. The Jetcal readout is expressed in percentage as well.
Propeller speed (N2) is indicated in rpm and will have to be converted to percentage in order to correlate to
Jetcal readings.
The Jetcal unit is capable of measuring rotating speeds within ± 0.1%; therefore, the Jetcal unit lends itself
well to being used as a calibrating standard.
The N1 and N2 indicator systems checks must be performed while the engine is running. The airplane inverter
system is used to power the Jetcal unit; therefore, a power adapter (Ref. Figure 202) will have to be
fabricated in the shop to allow using the AC test jack, located beneath the RH subpanel immediately adjacent
to the pedestal.
The N1 or N2 indicator has no adjustment and must be replaced in the event of a disagreement between the
indicator and the Jetcal reading.

A. N1 and N2 Indicator System Check

(1) Remove the interconnect cable from the Jetcal unit and lift the unit out of the carrier.

(2) Place the Jetcal unit in a convenient location in the airplane and connect BH499A power cable to
the POWER INTERCONNECT receptacle.

(3) Connect the shop fabricated power adapter to the power cable and connect the unit to the black
and blue AC test jacks under the RH subpanel.

(4) Place all switches on the Jetcal unit in the OFF position.

(10) Turn on the airplane inverter and the power switch on the Jetcal unit.

(11) Compare the N1 or N2 reading on the indicator to the N1 or N2 reading from the Jetcal and record
these on the worksheet in Table 201. When making N2 checks, refer to the conversion table in
Table 201 for converting propeller rpm to percentage.

(12) Place all switches in the OFF position before disconnecting any cables from the airplane or the
Jetcal unit.

6. TORQUE INDICATING SYSTEM


The torque transmitter, attached to the torque manifold located on the LH side of the reduction gearbox
senses pressure inside the reduction gearbox and transmits a signal to the torque indicator (Ref. Figure 203).
The torque indicator displays torque applied to the propeller shaft in foot-pound units.
The torque transmitter and indicator is functionally tested by simulating gearbox pressure. Shop air pressure
is applied to the torque manifold through a torque calibration unit.
The torque calibration unit is a precision pressure regulator and valve assembly. The face of the instrument is
calibrated in pounds per square-inch. While the Heise unit referenced in this Chapter is accuracy certified,
any precision pressure regulator accurate to within ± 0.25 psi in the range of 0 psi to 100 psi may be used in
calibrating the torque indicator system.
The torque indicating system response to gearbox pressure is a linear one and translates to approximately
83.6 foot-pounds of torque to 1 psi of gearbox pressure.
The worksheet in Table 201 should be used to record test data and may be retained in the airplanes files for
the purpose of documentation.
Adjustments to the torque indicating system may be accomplished by adjusting the adjustment screw which
is under a plug in the case of the transmitter.

7. TORQUE INDICATOR

A. Calibration Check
(1) Disconnect the vent line from the rear of the torque transmitter (Ref. Figure 203).

(2) Disconnect the lower AN fitting from the torque manifold and connect the torque calibration unit to
the manifold.

(3) Turn both valves on the torque calibration unit off and connect shop air to the unit.

(4) Connect an APU to the airplane with an output of 28 vdc.

(5) Turn the battery switch on and bring one of the inverters on the line.

(6) Turn the pressure source valve on the torque calibration unit on.

(7) Adjust the pressure valve to each of the values on the worksheet in Table 201 and record the
torque readings.

(8) Calibration adjustments to the torque transmitter can be made by adjusting the screw under the
adjustment plug.

8. FUEL FLOW INDICATING SYSTEM


The fuel flow indicating system makes use of a fuel flow transmitter, located beneath the RH side of the
engine just forward of the fuel control unit, and a precision indicator mounted in the instrument panel
(Ref. Figure 204).
The transmitter measures the volume of fuel actually flowing to the injectors. The volumetric measurement is
converted to mass flow (pounds per hour, pph) based upon the weight of fuel compensated for temperature.
As a rule of thumb; Jet A type fuel is approximately 6.74 pounds per gallon.
There are no calibration adjustments provided for this system. If an indication error is found to exist after the
calibration check, it is recommended that an alternate indicator, known to be accurate, be installed and the
calibration check be performed again. Should the alternate indicator yield readings not within the specified
tolerance, as noted in Table 201, the fault may be assumed to be in the transmitter.

14. RUNNING JETCAL INDICATOR

A. Checks
Occasionally, vibration, flight loads or varying flight attitudes may induce faults of an intermittent nature
which may not show up in routine indicator system checks. It may be desirable, at times to perform
Jetcal checks while the airplane engines are running or while the airplane is in flight.
Performance graphs in the appropriate flight manual may be used to set up engine power as a
reference for in-flight checks. Operating parameter graphs in Chapter 76, Chart 4 of this manual, should
be used for reference when performing static ground checks.
The following procedure provides instructions for connecting the Jetcal unit to the airplane indicating
systems for either static ground checks or the in-flight checks.

(1) Place all switches on the Jetcal unit in the OFF position.

(2) Remove the power interconnect cable, lift the Jetcal unit out of the carrier and place the unit in a
convenient position in the airplane.

(3) Connect the BH499A power cable to the POWER INTERCONNECT receptacle.

(4) Connect the shop fabricated power adapter to the power cable and connect the unit to the black
and blue AC test jacks under the RH subpanel (Ref. Figure 202).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The exhaust system consists of the engine exhaust stacks and the engine air inlet anti-ice lip (Ref. Figure 1).
The exhaust stack is an “L” shaped tube that is mounted directly to the engine and channels hot engine
exhaust gases past the cowlings and away from the engine.
The engine anti-ice lip is a continuous duct that channels hot engine exhaust gases from the engine's left
exhaust stack around the front edge of the engine air inlet opening to the engine's right exhaust stack. The
purpose of this lip is to prevent the formation of ice in and around the engine air intake during inclement
weather.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


00

1. GENERAL
The turboprop engines used on this airplane have integral oil tanks. All components of the oil system, except
the oil cooler, are mounted on or within the engine (Ref. Figure 1). The oil pressure relief valve is preset to
maintain the proper oil pressure and normally will require no adjustment. The oil system has two scavenge
pumps that return the lubricating oil to the oil cooling system. The oil cooler is mounted in the center of the
lower air inlet duct below the engine. The oil cooler contains a thermostat type valve that bypasses oil around
the cooler until proper operating temperature is reached. A bypass valve allows the oil to circulate around the
cooler in the event the cooler becomes clogged. For a more detailed description of the engine oil system refer
to the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65B ENGINE MAINTENANCE MANUAL.
Each engine oil pressure gage and temperature gage is internally lighted by 28 vdc from the triple fed buss
through a 5-amp circuit breaker. The circuit breakers are identified LEFT and RIGHT OIL TEMP PRESS.
Normal oil pressure is 90 to 135 psi green arc and the minimum oil pressure limit is 60 psi red line. Ref low
pressure warning lights for the left and right engines, located in the warning annunciator panel, will illuminate
if oil pressure drops below 60 psi. Normal oil temperature is 0° to 99°C and red line is 110°C. The oil pressure
transmitter, the temperature bulb and the low pressure sensor are located on the engine accessory case at
approximately the 4 o’clock position as viewed from the rear. A self-sealing chip detector is installed in the 6
o’clock position on the reduction gear case of each engine.

1. PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Anytime the oil system is contaminated by metal particles, the oil cooler must be replaced and
the oil system flushed to prevent engine damage. In addition, all airplane components and
associated plumbing utilizing the engine oil system, such as propeller governors, must be flushed
until free of contamination.

A. Servicing
Servicing the engine oil system primarily involves maintaining the engine oil at the proper level,
inspecting and cleaning the engine oil filter and changing the engine oil when the oil becomes
contaminated. Refer to Chapter 12-10-00 for the oil system filling procedure. The oil filter should be
cleaned and inspected every 200 hours and at each engine oil change, and replaced as required. Refer
to the CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL and OIL FILTER CLEANING procedures.

B. Changing
CAUTION: When changing to a different brand of oil, completely drain the airplane oil system as
indicated in this procedure. Remove the oil filter and immerse it in the brand of oil to be
used. Install the oil filter and drain plugs. Fill the system to the proper level, and ground run
the engines for 20 minutes to thoroughly circulate the new brand of oil throughout the
system. Completely drain the oil system and again remove the oil filter and immerse it in the
new brand of oil. Refill the oil system as indicated below. This will thoroughly purge the
system of the oil to prevent chemical interaction between it and the new brand.
Remove the upper forward, upper aft and lower forward cowlings to gain access to the engine oil drains.
Remove the small cover on the lower aft cowling to gain access to the oil cooler oil drain.

(1) Provide suitable containers, funnels and drain hoses to facilitate oil drainage and to prevent
unnecessary oil spillage.

(2) Remove the dust cap from the oil tank drain line at the lower right side of the accessory section.

(3) Attach an oil drain tube to the end of the engine oil tank drain line.

(4) Remove the safety wire from the shutoff valve and turn it to the open position.

(5) Remove the safety wire and drain plug from the oil cooler.

(6) Remove the oil filter assembly. Refer to the OIL FILTER CLEANING procedure.

(7) Remove the chip detector at the 6 o’clock position on the reduction gearbox front case.

MODEL 1900/1900C AIRLINER MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(9) With all the drain plugs removed, motor the engine over with the starter only (no ignition) to permit
the scavenge pumps to clear the engine.

CAUTION: Limit motoring to the time required to accomplish the above because of the limited
lubrication available to the engine during this operation. To prevent damage to the fuel
control unit, leave the condition lever in IDLE CUT-OFF while motoring the engine.

(10) Install the oil filter assembly. Refer to the OIL FILTER CLEANING procedure.

(11) Install new preformed packings on the drain plugs and the chip detector.

(12) Install the chip detector on the reduction gearbox front case. Torque to 50 ± 5 in.-lbs and safety.

(15) Remove the oil drain tube from the end of the engine oil tank drain line and install the dust cap,
then safety wire the shutoff valve in the closed position.

NOTE: The oil tank capacity is 2.5 gallons (10 quarts). An additional 4.4 quarts of oil is required to
fill the lines and oil cooler, giving a total system capacity of 14.4 quarts; however, because
of the residual oil trapped in the system, no more than 13 quarts should be added during
an oil change.

(16) Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of oil.

CAUTION: Observe the starter operating limits of 30 seconds ON, 10 minutes OFF, 30 seconds
ON, 30 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes
OFF, 30 seconds ON, 30 minutes OFF.

(17) Motor the engine over, with the starter only, long enough to get an oil pressure reading.

(18) Check engine for oil leaks.

(19) Fill the engine to proper oil level.

(20) Install the lower forward, upper aft and the upper forward cowlings. Install the small cover on the
lower after cowling.

2. OIL FILTER

A. Cleaning
The engine oil filter contains a metal screen element. It is located under the square cover plate at the 3
o’clock position of the compressor inlet case and just behind the aft fire seal. The filter should be
cleaned and inspected at each engine oil change and at each inspection interval specified in Chapter
5-20-00, CONTINUOUS INSPECTION SCHEDULE.

(1) Remove the four self-locking nuts and washer securing the filter cover to the compressor inlet
