Engine Inlet; Engine Fan; Nacelle Skin; Oil Level And Servicing Door - Eclipse Aviation Eclipse 500 Flight Manual

• Check PhostrEx canister pressure by viewing the pressure gauge on the top of the
engine pylon. The pressure should be in the green arc (see note for cold weather
operations)
If the outside air temperature is -10°C or lower and the aircraft has been soaked at
or near that temperature, the fire canister pressure reading may be at or below
the green band on the canister pressure gauge. For outside
air temperatures below -10°C refer to AFM Figure 4-2

3. Engine Inlet

• Inspect engine inlet for damage. Ensure all surfaces of the engine inlet are free of
dents and other deformities that would diminish airflow and anti ice capability.

4. Engine Fan

• Inspect fan hub/blades for damage. Fan should rotate freely via the hub.
Do not touch the fan blades as oil from the fingertips will contaminate the blades. The
pilot should only rotate the fan by placing their hand on the hub and rotating.

5. Nacelle Skin

• Inspect engine nacelle for damage. All surfaces at fasteners should be secure and
flush with the surface of the nacelle.

6. Oil Level and Servicing Door

• Check that engine oil levels are between MIN and MAX on the sight gauge.
Significant ramp slope may affect oil level indications. If additional oil is required,
use the same brand Type II oil previously used. If necessary, refer to the engine
log for the brand name.
Use only approved turbine engine oils; do not mix brands or types.
7. Drain Lines (4)
• Inspect all drain lines for obstructions and signs of damage.
8. Engine Exhaust and Bypass Duct
• Inspect engine exhaust and bypass duct for blockage and damage. Care should be
taken when inspecting these components after engine operation as they will
remain hot.
