Under Wing; Fuel Drains; Fuel Vents; Wing Tip - Eclipse Aviation Eclipse 500 Flight Manual

g. Side Brace Condition
h. Strut Extension / Hard Landing Indicator
i. Gear Door
• All landing gear components should be free of damage and should be inspected
thoroughly prior to flight. The gear wells should be inspected for anything that
would restrict free landing gear operation. The tire should have sufficient tread
depth and if necessary be filled to the proper pressure. Brake wear indicator pins
should be inspected and should not be flush with their mounting surface. Brake
lines should be firmly attached in a manner that will not cause any pinching during
gear cycles. Brake line fittings should show no evidence of leakage. A leak will be
indicated by yellowish brake fluid dripping from brake line fittings. Both WOW and
Downlock sensors should be firmly mounted to their mounting surface. The hard
landing indicator should be properly seated in its grove. The landing gear over-
center brace should be fully extended and the landing gear door should be
inspected for signs of damage.
A displaced landing gear ring (red groove visible) indicates a hard landing and the
aircraft's landing gear requires inspection prior to flight.

5. Under Wing

• Ensure lower wing surface is free of dents and deformities. Inspect for ice and
other contaminants adhering to the wing. These contaminants must be removed
prior to flight as they can significantly reduce aircraft performance.

6. Fuel Drains (3)

• Inspect fuel drains for obstructions and fuel leaks prior to flight.

7. Fuel Vents (2)

• Inspect fuel vents for obstructions.

8. Wing Tip

a. Taxi / Recognition and Anti-Collision / Position Lights
b. Fuel Filler Cap
c. Static Wick
• Inspect wing tip condition with emphasis on the light fixtures, fuel filler cap and
seal, as well as the condition of the static wick. Note that fuel may not be visible if
tank is less than full.
9. Over Wing
• Ensure over wing surface is free of dents and deformities. Inspect for ice and other
contaminants adhering to the wing. These containments must be removed prior to
flight as they can significantly reduce aircraft performance.
