As all possible circumstances cannot be listed here, the following is provided as guidance only. A
critical, trained eye is required and inspections should include, but not be limited to, these items.
- Overall undercarriage: check for bent or damaged nuts, bolts etc. Check for damaged spats or
spat mounting hardware.
Nose leg – check for bends / cracks. Check rubber has not cracked & rubber shaft is straight.
-
Check nose wheel yoke & nose wheel housing on firewall have not bent.
- Main undercarriage: check inboard and outboard bolts and clamps for damage and security.
Carefully inspect the leg for cracking or other damage.
Brakes: check for bent discs, loose or damaged hardware. Check security of brake lines – i.e.
-
they are strapped to the undercarriage leg and are not rubbing against any sharp objects such as
screws etc.
- Fuselage: check structure surrounding undercarriage mount points for damage including de-
lamination, cracking, buckling etc.
- Propeller tip: check for indications of impact.
- Wings: check for free-play at attachments as detailed in Section 5.12.
