The following easy procedure should be carried out to check the

correct correspondence between fuel selector handle and fuel
selector valve positions and to set the control.
The correct correspondence between the position of the handle on
fuel selector placard and the position of fuel selector valve may
be checked with reference to “L” split existing on the valve
shaft which shows the through way of the valve.
In the normal open position (“RIGHT ENGINE – R.H. TANK; LEFT
ENGINE – L.H. TANK”), the above mentioned slit must be positioned
as follows (Refer to figure 2a):

a) Left wing: the two legs of the “L” slit must be directed
exactly towards left tank pipe and left engine pipe.
b) Right wing: legs must be directed towards right tank pipe and
right engine pipe.

For the access to the fuel selector valves, remove the two
inspection panels on the wing leading edge immediately outboard
to engine nacelles.
The incorrect correspondence, also shown by a fuel flow between
the left tank and right tank, on ground or in flight, may be due
to stretching of the control cable.

For corrective action, carry out the following

(Refer to figure 2b):

1. Position fuel selector handles on “RIGHT ENGINE – R.H. TANK;

LEFT ENGINE – L.H. TANK”.

NOTE
To make sure of reinstalling the handles
in the original position after the work,
carry out a recording slit on fuel
selector placard.

2. Remove the handles and skin panel p/n 2.7049-1.

3. Remove the stop tubes (black-coloured) from fuel selector
control transmitters (p/n 7.1043-1).
4. Shorten the end of the cables (about ½ inch) with a cutting
nipper.
5. Reinstall stop tubes and skin panel.
6. Reinstall the handles in the same preexisting position (see
item 1 and Note).
7. Check for correct operation. The handles should rotate in the
selector placard black are about 8 degrees from the normal
open position. With the handles on ”ENG. SHUT_OFF” position,
check that engines stop due to feed lack.

2 – LUBRICATION
Proper periodic lubrication of moveable components and parts will
greatly reduce wear and extend their service life.
In the Table 2-1 information on the type of lubricants to be used
are given.
Care must be taken when lubricating bearings and bearing surface
with a grease gun, to make sure that gun is filled with new clean
grease before applying lubricant to the grease fitting.
Lubrication instructions, concerning location and frequency of
application may be found in the lubrication charts, Figure 2-2.

NOTE
Lubricate at the recommended time or at every
disassembly/assembly.
Lubricate more frequently in severe climates or
operating conditions.
Do not grease on the threads. It will reduce the
friction of the lock-nut.

SPECIFICATION LUBRIFICANT
MIL-H-5606 Hydraulic fluid, petroleum base.
SAE-J1966 Lubricating oil, aircraft reciprocating engine
single-viscosity (*).
SAE-J1899 Lubricating oil, aircraft reciprocating engine
multi-viscosity (*).
MIL-G-81322 Grease, general purpose and propeller lubrication.

MIL-G-23827 Grease, bearing lubrication.

(*)NOTE: Refer to Textron Lycoming Service Instruction No.1014

(latest issue) for correct single or multi-viscosity
aviation grade oil use.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bearings Clean exterior surface with a dry type
Solvent before lubricating.
2. Lubrication points Wipe all lubrication points and clean of
old grease, oil, dirt, etc., before
lubricating.

CAUTIONS
1. Do not apply lubricant to rubber parts.
2. Do not lubricate cables. This causes slippages.
3. Do not lubricate bearings. Excess of grease or
oil on bearing outside surface will collect dust
and sand, resulting on malfunction of bearing.

4 – OVERLIMITS INSPECTION
If the airplane has been operated so that any of its components
have exceeded their maximum operational limits, check with
VULCANAIR for applicable inspection and eventual repairs.
The list of applicable checks for heavy landing, lightning
strike, non-utilization of the airplane form more than 6 or 12
months, are given in the following paragraphs.

4.1 – HEAVY LANDING

The extent of inspection after a heavy landing is governed by the
nature of the landing itself.
The decision taken in this respect, therefore, must always rest
with the engineer/inspector who is responsible for certifying the
airplane fit for further flight.
The following inspection is recommended for information and
guidance only. In the event of a heavy landing or landing made
with airplane overweight, an inspection procedure in the
following sequence is recommended:

MAIN AND NOSE LANDING GEAR

1. NOSE WHEEL STRUT UPPER ATTACHMENT – check for deformation
and cracks;
2. NOSE FRAME – check for deformation and damage to riveting
and stiffeners;
3. NOSE WHEEL STRUT SUPPORT TRESTLE – Check for deformation,
broken spotwelds, and damage to attachments on the frame;
4. NOSE WHEEL STRUT AND TORQUE LINKS – Check for deformation
and cracks;

4.2 – LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION

Lightning strike usually result in two types of damage (i.e.
damage caused by the actual strike, and damage caused by the
discharge of the static electricity which follows the strike).

Rev. 16
DATE: 22 September 2017
 Section F
A/C P68B VICTOR
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Pag. 35

It is possible to receive damage from heavy static discharge

without actually being struck by lightning.
A lightning strike usually causes burning of small circular
holes. Results of such a strike may also show in burnt or
discolored skin or rivets, evidence of such lightning strikes is
usually more prevalent on fuselage nose sections propeller blades
and spinners, or other leading edge areas.
Evidence of static discharge is usually more prevalent on
trailing edge, on lower afterward fuselage areas, radio aerials,
wing, fin, tail-plane, tips and trailing edge.
The following inspections are recommended for information and
guidance only. In the event of lightning strikes or static
electricity discharges, an inspection in the following sequence
is recommended:
1. SKINS – Inspect for burns and melting;
2. RIVETS, BOLTS, SCREWS & FASTENERS - Inspect for burns and
melting;
3. ANTI-STATIC WICKS – Check for damage and burns;
4. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – With engines running, check for
correct operation;
5. ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS, WIRING & CONNECTORS – Check for
damage and short circuit;
6. AVIONICS AND ANTENNAE – Check correct operation;
7. AUTOPILOT (if installed) – Check for harness damage and
correct operation;
8. MAGNETIC COMPASS – Check correct reading;
9. NAVIGATION LIGHTS – Check correct operation;
10. RADOME – Inspect carefully for punctures or delamination
points. If damage is found, remove the radome and inspect
for further damage to radome or radar components;

procedures.

11. ENGINE – If evidence of a lightning strike is found on a

propeller, the engine must be removed and overhauled.

the following sequence of inspections has been complied as a
guide for operators:

table shows the recommended intervals at which the items are to
be overhauled or replaced.
The times given in the Charts below are recommended by the
Airplane Manufacturer and/or OEM. Perform the scheduled overhaul
and replacement at the given times, because they are the minimum
required to keep the airplane in a good technical condition.
These checks do not over-ride the requirements of the
Airworthiness Authority of the country where the airplane is
registered. You must make sure that all Airworthiness Directives,
Service Bulletins and any other requirements of the Airworthiness
Authority of the country where the airplane is registered are
completed as required.

6 – CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS

INTRODUCTION
This Section sets out the limitations which, if not observed
during maintenance procedure, would adversely affect the
airworthiness of the airplane.

SPECIAL INSPECTION
Special inspection have been prescribed for the horizontal tail
surface of the airplane. These inspections are classed as
“Special” only because they are dictated by the necessity to keep
under surveillance, the horizontal stabilator and relevant trim
tab which are subject to the influence of the propeller slipstream
in operation.
The complete special inspection procedure is detailed in the
following table.

NOTE
This Continued Airworthiness Limitations
is also FAA approved for U.S. registered
aiplanes in accordance with provisions of
14 CFR Section 21.29 and it meets the
requirements of Section 23.1529. In
addition his section is also required by
FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet No. A31EU.
Refer to check list FAA Approved pages.

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Certain information in this Maintenance Manual may become subject
to amendments on account of Mandatory / Recommended Service
Bulletins issued by Vulcanair or Partenavia and follow-up
