Tech Tips Tech Tips is a sampling of responses from ABS Technical Advisors and Technical Staff to members’ questions. Neil Pobanz, ABS lead technical advisor, is a retired U.S. Army civilian pilot and maintenance manager. He is an A&P and IA with more than 50 years experience. Glen “Arky” Foulk, former owner of Delta Strut, has been an ABS technical advisor since 1986. Arthur Miller has won numerous FAA awards as a mechanic, and runs a Beech specialty shop in central Florida. Bob Ripley retired from Delta Airlines as a manager of line maintenance (Atlanta) and has run an FBO focusing on Beech maintenance for 20+ years. Bob Andrews is a retired Eastern Air Line pilot, CFI, mechanic and a Wright Brothers Award winner. He owns a Beech-only maintenance FBO in Atlanta, Georgia. Tom Turner, ABS-ASF Executive Director, holds a Master’s degree in Aviation Safety. He has specialized in Beech pilot instruction for over 20 years. E-series expert Lew Gage and avionics expert John Collins also occasionally contribute answers. Wing corrosion post-maintenance flight John Sciarrino, Fort Lauderdale, Florida My 1999 A36 went in the shop for wing corrosion and annual nine weeks Q. ago. The plan was to clean and repair the corrosion, then reassemble the aircraft. Turned out that both wings were removed to replace spars and hinges, and all six cylinders were replaced. The cost was over $80,000. I will save the details for a future article in ABS Magazine. Here’s the question: What advice or suggestions would you give for the first flights when placing this plane back in service How can I feel confident that ailerons, gear, rigging, and fuel system will work Florida is extremely unforgiving to aluminum, even if the airplane is A. hangared. That’s a shocking repair bill. I’m glad you were able to prevent scrapping the airframe. First, I would absolutely insist that the maintenance facility that did the repairs conduct a thorough inspection and, most importantly, a post-maintenance test flight prior to returning the airplane to service. Far too often shops rely on the customer to serve as production test pilot. In my view this is unacceptable in the case of such an extensive repair – with something as extensive as wing replacement, the first flight (or flights) should be conducted by an experienced post-maintenance evaluation or production test pilot to ensure all operational and rigging checks are complete and satisfactory. FAR 43.5, 43.9, and 43.11 describe the return-to-service requirements. FAR 43.7 tells us that the airplane owner can only approve the aircraft for return to service in the case of preventive maintenance such as an oil change. • Picking your airplane up from the paint shop, or any maintenance/inspection event Here’s a collection of past ABS Magazine articles on what to look for when you accept delivery of the airplane. Although it was written from the standpoint of a post-paint acceptance, you’ll see many of the ideas apply to any time you pick an airplane up from inspection or repair. This guidance should help you in your first flight in the airplane, after the required return-to-service is complete but before you take acceptance of the completed work. —TT Fuel selector valve rebuild Jeffrey Binder, Bentleyville, Ohio Where can I get the fuel selector valve rebuilt on my 1954 E-Series Q.
