Logbook Entry
After any of the above work is accomplished, appropriate logbook entries
must be made. Logbook entries should contain:
•
The date the work was accomplished.
•
Description of the work.
•
Number of hours on the aircraft.
•
The certificate number of pilot performing the work.
•
Signature of the individual doing the work.
Logbooks should be complete and up to date. Good records reduce main-
tenance cost by giving the mechanic information about what has or has not
been accomplished.
Ground Handling
Application of External Power
An external power receptacle, located just aft of the cowl on the left side of
the airplane, permits the use of an external power unit for cold weather
starting and maintenance procedures.
• WARNING •
If external power will be used to start engine, keep yourself, others,
and power unit cables well clear of the propeller rotation plane.
To Apply External Power to Airplane
• CAUTION •
In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation, external
power should not be used to start the airplane with a dead battery
or to charge a dead or weak battery in the airplane. The battery
must be removed from the airplane and battery maintenance
performed in accordance with the appropriate AMM procedures.
1.
Ensure external power unit is regulated to 28 VDC.
2.
Verify BAT and AVIONICS power switches are set to OFF.
3.
Plug external power unit into the receptacle.
4.
Set BAT 1 switch to ON. 28 VDC from the external power unit will
energize the main distribution and essential distribution buses. The
airplane may now be started or electrical equipment operated.
5.
If avionics are required, set AVIONICS power switch ON.
• CAUTION •
If maintenance on avionics systems is to be performed, it is
recommended that external power be used. Do not start or crank
the engine with the AVIONICS power switch ‘on.’
