3.6.1 Periodicity
The periods of an inspection is signalled by a dot entered in the corresponding
column.

CAUTION
CAUTION: THE INSPECTION SCHEDULES ARE CUMULATIVE

ST
1 example: A 200 h visit includes the work prescribed in 50 h, 100 h and 200 h visit.

2nd example: The 3 year visit will include the work prescribed in 1 year and 3 year
visit

3.6.2 Aircraft Applicability

For each line entry, if no specific mention is made of aircraft type then all R2000 series
are affected. In the opposite way, if the type of aircraft is noted then the line is only
applicable to that specific type.

3.6.3 Servicing Worksheet Notes

The following notes are references to the Notes column on the servicing worksheets.

Note 1: At 3500 hrs then every 750 hrs. (Refer to Para 3.4.9).

Note 2: Use strobe equipment to test in situ.

Note 3: Optionally, the aircraft may be supplied with a carbon monoxide detector
(after sale service). In this case, the removal of heater envelope will occur
only every 500 hours for R2000 all types except R2160i, and every 200
hours for R2160i.

Note 4: To perform filter cleaning, the fuel cock must be shut. At this time verify
its operation. Check the fuel shut off cable for proper operation.

Note 5: Check the torque loading after the first flight, then at 25 hours and then
every 50 hours.

Note 6. At the first 500 hours visit and then every 2000 hours.

Note 7: Check the torque loading after the first 50 hours and then every 100
hours.

Note 8: Flush lines and valve with suitable solvent each 300hrs or when there is
evidence of loss of oil through the breather after normal flight.

Note 9: This inspection shall include inspection for corrosion, especially the wing
spar web and upper & lower spar caps. Particular interest should be
taken in the spar cap area where the MLG is attached. When the MLG is
removed in accordance with Addendum 1: Task 32-08, a detailed
inspection of the mating surfaces (MLG/Spar Cap) shall be carried out. If
any corrosion is found it is to be treated and the surface finish restored.

Note 10: On reaching 3500 hrs refer to Addendum 1: Task 57-08 for on-going
maintenance requirements

3.6.4 Release of Aircraft to Service

Each owner/operator should develop a cover sheet for the inspection schedules to
allow for release to service certification in compliance with local Airworthiness
Authority requirements.
