Airframe and Structures

Airframe section covers fuselage wings empennage landing gear. Inspections for cracks corrosion fatigue. Torque specs for bolts like wing attach 200-250 in-lbs but check exact in tables some general. Repairs composite metal riveting welding. Control surfaces ailerons flaps rudder elevator rigging cable tensions pulley checks.

Engine and Propeller

Engine Lycoming IO-540 or similar disassembly inspection overhaul. Compression oil pressure valve clearance specs. Fuel system carburetor injection lines tanks. Cooling baffles cowling. Ignition magnetos harness plugs. Propeller Hartzell or McCauley blade pitch hub overhaul constant speed governor. Torque for prop bolts around 60-70 ft-lbs not all listed.

Electrical and Avionics

Electrical chapter wiring batteries alternator starter circuits lighting navigation. Troubleshooting no charge shorts grounds multimeter tests. Avionics radios GPS transponder ELT antenna coax. Battery 12V checks fuses breakers.

Systems and Maintenance

Hydraulics brakes lines master cylinders fluid bleed. Fuel vent drain selector. Instruments pitot static altimeter airspeed vacuum. Maintenance schedules 100-hour annual progressive inspections condition checks. Lubrication points grease fittings. Weight balance rigging control deflections.

Troubleshooting and Appendices

Troubleshooting engine rough running electrical faults flight control binds flowcharts causes remedies. Appendices parts lists diagrams some torque charts limited. Missing exhaustive voltages assumes experience. Solid for hangar use photos clear but some sections assume tools like torque wrench compression tester.
