Wing De-Ice Boot; Main Landing Gear (Front) - Eclipse Aviation Eclipse 500 Flight Manual

• Inspect lower wing surface for 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.
7. Fuel Drains (3)
• Inspect fuel drains for obstructions and fuel leaks.
8. Fuel Vents (2)
• Inspect fuel vents for obstructions.
9. Wing Tip
a. Static Wick
b. Fuel Filler Cap
c. Position and Recognition / Anti-Collision Lights
• 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.

10. Wing De-Ice Boot

• Inspect boot for cracks, holes, chips, and wear. A damaged boot may not
inflate/deflate properly which could result in the inability to shed ice. In addition, a
damaged boot may not be held tight against the wing which could result in a
significant loss in aircraft performance.

11. Main Landing Gear (Front)

a. No External Damage
b. Actuator Condition
c. Tire Condition
d. Wheel Condition
e. Brake Condition
f. Sensors (WOW and downlock)
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.
