Don,

The engine driven compressor has a coil/windings that when you turn it on locks the pulley to the compressor. I’d see if that is working on the ground without the engine running. It will usually give an audible click when it engages. Easy enough check and where I’d start. If that isn’t it, time to get out the wiring diagram and start…[Read more]

Those pictures include the Avion change over. If you look closely in the second picture you see the control T behind the panel. In the third it is now the updated U configuration. That then allows for the updated panels and center stack type panel.

Dale,

I have a copy of an original 210C equipment list as shipped from Cessna Rev. 11-26-62. It shows the arm for the prop as -42.0″.

I don’t have one of the current manuals to look at but unless Cessna created and included an “Airworthiness Limitations” section that meets the requirements of A23.4 the overhaul is not mandatory. I dread…[Read more]

Steve,

It is an AN24-30 clevis bolt based on your measurements and the chart I linked. If you don’t need the hole in the threads you would add an A at the end.

Neil,

I will offer a theory based on what I’ve seen in the years of mx. The 182 trim can develop a skip in the chain that turns the lower sprocket and adjusts the length of the steering bungee. Since the nose wheel locks straight the bungee then is used to hold the rudder pedals for you. The skip in the chain just means the trim didn’t actually…[Read more]

It would need to be a Lycoming powered 182. The earliest fixed gear I recall was the restart 98 S model. I took a quick look at the Type Certificate and see the hub and blade model isn’t the same for the two blade McCauley.

For what it is worth: That circuit breaker is replaced with a 55 amp unit using an SK if I recall correctly.

Likely the chevron type seal in the adapter that seals the pump drive gear/shaft.

Archie,

It sounds like the through bolt was not one of the cylinder hold down through studs as those cannot come out without the cylinder coming off.

I am not sure I follow what a prop torque test is unless you are talking about checking the prop bolt/nut torque applied during installation, but then why pull?

Why is your A&P refusing to follow…[Read more]

I believe since the AD recurring inspections reference the 1241423 saddles specifically, any recurring inspection is only applicable to that p/n saddle including the improved version. The newest version 1294151 doesn’t have the recurring inspection requirements by p/n. I’d consider these p/n’s as terminating action. The 1241004 is used on the…[Read more]

Preferred Airparts shows some as new surplus, KRN shows some as well.

I see an alternate number listed as 1650-00-992-0838. Dixie Air Parts Supply Inc. in Texas shows a big number of them.

Randy,

Keep in mind when you go making your own hoses there are a few minor things that you will probably learn by doing. I’d recommend having someone that has done a few show you as well as review the procedure in the advisory circular. It is something that can be done but it is also something that can be done wrong if you don’t quite understand…[Read more]

John,

Just to clarify, the AD is the binding and required document. The SB is only mandatory by reference in the AD. In this instance the AD deviates from the SB by requiring the additional inspection. Thus even though not referenced by the manufacturer and SB, the administrator has made it mandatory.

Stephen,

I’d go ahead and start by pulling all the lifters. That can be done on a TCM without too much pain. See just how many lifter faces are in that condition. You can take a look at the cam lobes through the lifter bore. If the cam looks ok, another set of lifters could get you some more time. The good news is this issue isn’t really…[Read more]

I downloaded SEB 94-8 and attempted to attach.

Ed B.

Richard,

I assume you are referring to the forward spar at the lightning hole where the trim cables pass. If so there is an SEB on it. A couple different numbers pop out of my memory so I am not sure which it is but I do believe it was a late 80’s bulletin. You should be able to look it up on the website. If the rear spar I’ve only come across it…[Read more]

Mark,

The air box looks correct to me. I am leaning toward the duct from the air filter is misaligned. It normally sits up closer to the exhaust. It is not uncommon to find a rub on that duct from the exhaust. Is it possible that has been replaced or repaired?

Ed B.

Mark,

I have never come across this before. It almost appears your air box is mounted flat the bottom of the carb in the picture.  There is a flange that is on the box that would lower the box under the carb. Your pictures don’t really show that. The other thought is what does the other end of the duct, at the air filter element end look like.…[Read more]
