Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 6:06 am Post subject: Annual Condition Inspection

Hi, Gang,



We're about to conduct our Annual, and could use a little help. We've found an A&P, (since we're not the original builders,) and he has extensive experience w/ building experimentals, but not Kolbs. 



We want to make sure he hits all the hot spots and gives the airplane a thorough checkup. 



Does anyone have a checklist that you use for the Annual that  you are willing to share? 



Ours is a MK 3 Classic, finished in 2001. We've got a 912ULS and the plane and engine are right at 600 hours. Steven Green updated the gearbox, having Lockwood add the clutch at about 250 hours. We're burning predominently auto gas, w/ occasional 100LL. 



Any help on-list or off-list would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

Dave, FAR 43 Appendix D has every item he should cover on the plane. ROAN will have all the latest Service Bulletins and Instructions specific to the engine.While you're airplane is experimental and the TBO requirements do not apply as they would for an S-LSA, you should check to see if your engine is in the serial number range to qualify. Nice thing to have in the logbook, if nothing else. Is he a Rotax mechanic, too? If not, I would be very wary of letting him touch the engine. Check ROAN, but I don't think he can sign off for the TBO increase if he isn't.

I echo Rick's advice on the 912 but, sensible or not, any A&P can sign off your condition inspection regardless of what engine it has on it.Get the signature and then inspect it using common sense.

Ralph,

Good list.

Don't forget to check all  cables, cable thimbles and tangs ?



Perhaps you included that and I missed it.

Thanks, Ralph, this is a great list. Also, "Slyck" and "Eugene."



I'll kick it around with the guy, and double check his Rotax training, shopping around for more help in that area, as needed.

The checklist can be tailored to your aircraft or ultralight to fit your needs. This is what I did when I got it from a guy who flew an Avid Flyer.
