Hi All,
As a result of many questions that I have receivd over the years that I've been a Technical Advisor, I decided to write a book about Comanche maintenance. It's title is as shown above.
It contains a fairly deep description of the following:
1- The pre purchase inspection. What do you look for? The importance of having a professional A&P do the inspection for you. Some hints on determining the final price.
2-The Annual Inspection. The importance of a quality inspection and the opportunity it represents for learning sbout your Comanche.
3-The 1000 hour landing gear inspection. Some intimate details about how to conduct this inspection properly.
4- The SB 1160 stabilator inspection. The detailed description of doing this inspection on a horrible example and how it was repaired as new.
5- Preventative maintenance. What maintenance you can and cannot perform legally, on your airplane.
In addition, there are comments about landing gear operation which should be "required reading" for any Comanche owner. There is also a brief description of some of the old but important SL's, SB's, and AD's.
The book (let) is available from our President, Dave Fitzgerald for a nominal charge of $25. The entire work is a present from me to the ICS and any proceeds will go directly into the ICS treasury.
Do yourself a favor and get (and read) your personal copy.
Cheers,
