CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
CONTENTS
1.1 GENERAL..........................................................................................................................................................10

1.1 GENERAL
The model 6000/6100 seaplane or amphibious float is an all aluminum constructed float with watertight
compartments. The actual displacement in fresh water for each float is 5664 pounds buoyancy for the seaplane
and 5518 pounds buoyancy for the amphibian. The amphibian float is geometrically the same as the seaplane
except for the addition of landing gear and internal structure for the gear.
The water rudder system is cable operated with ball bearing pulleys. Water rudder cables tie into the existing
aircraft rudder system.
The main landing gear has dual 600 x 6 6-ply tires and the nose landing gear has one 500 x 5 6-ply tire. The gear
system is hydraulically actuated and driven by two hydraulic pumps. Brakes are hydraulic and have a caliper on
each main wheel for a total of four brakes.
Steering on land is accomplished by differential braking. The nose wheels are full castering.
Access to the float interior is accomplished by removing covers on the top deck and six covers inside the wheel
well. When necessary, water inside the float hulls may be removed through pump out cups located on the
outboard edge of each float top skin.

CHAPTER 2 FLOAT HULL MAINTENANCE
CONTENTS
2.1 GENERAL..........................................................................................................................................................12

2.1 GENERAL
The float structure is manufactured entirely of 6061-T6 corrosion resistant aluminum sheet and extrusions. Skins
on the inside are primed with a 3M SCOTCHWELD primer after being cleaned and acid-etched. Exterior surfaces
are cleaned and alodined. Surfaces are then primed with an epoxy-based primer and finished with enamel color
paint.
Hard Landing and Damage Investigation
After a thorough cleaning of the suspected damaged area, all structural parts should be carefully
examined to determine the extent of damage. Frequently the force causing the initial damage
is transmitted from one member to the next causing strains and distortions. Abnormal stresses
incurred by shock or impact forces on a rib, bulkhead, or similar structure may be transmitted to the
extremity of the structural member, resulting in secondary damage, such as sheared or stretched
rivets, elongated bolt holes, deformed skins or bulkheads. Points of attachment should be examined
carefully for distortion and security of fasteners in the primary and secondary damaged areas as
locations beyond the local damage. Inspect aircraft tubes in area of float fitting for signs of bending,
cracked welds, or any other damage.
Cleaning
The outside of the float should be kept clean by washing with soap and water.
Special care should be taken to remove engine exhaust trails, waterline marks, and barnacle
deposits. After saltwater operation, washing with fresh water should be done daily with special
attention to hard-to-reach places such as: seams, wheel wells, etc.
Alternatively, water taxiing in FRESH WATER at step-speed can help to flush the entire system.
OPERATORS IN SALTWATER ARE STRONGLY CAUTIONED – RINSING THE ENTIRE

AIRCRAFT & FLOATS WITH FRESH WATER AT THE END OF EACH DAY OR PERIODICALLY IS
CRITICAL. FAILING IN THIS CLEANING CAN SEVERLY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE FLOATS.
The float interior should be flushed if salt water enters the compartments. If the floats are being
stored inside, remove inspection covers so the interior will dry out.
THE ABOVE CLEANING TECHNIQUES ARE VITAL FOR KEEPING CORROSION TO A

MINIMUM. SALTWATER OPERATIONS AND ENVIRONMENT ARE STRONGLY LINKED TO
CORROSION AND MUST BE ADDRESSED PROACTIVELY.

Corrosion
Reference the Wipaire Structural Repair Manual (SRM) for allowable corrosion/material loss limits.
Corrosion is a reaction that destroys metal by an electrochemical action that converts metal to oxide.
Corrosion is accelerated when in contact with dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel, or any
material that absorbs moisture like wood, rubber, or dirt.
After removing the corroded area, restore area to original finish (prime and enamel). Boeshield T9,
Corrosion X, or ACF-50 may also be applied to stop corrosion. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions
for
application instructions.
Maintaining the float inside and outside finishes by washing after saltwater operations will help
protect the float from corrosion. Periodically all hardware should be covered with a waterproof grease
or Par-al-ketone. Under saltwater conditions, bolts should be removed at least once a year and
grease reapplied to the shafts, heads and nuts.
THE ABOVE CLEANING TECHNIQUES ARE VITAL FOR KEEPING CORROSION TO A

MINIMUM. SALTWATER OPERATIONS AND ENVIRONMENT ARE STRONGLY LINKED TO
CORROSION AND MUST BE ADDRESSED PROACTIVELY.

3.1 TOWING
When towing the amphibian aircraft, 2 lugs are provided on the lower forward side of the nose spring.
On land, a rigid “V” frame can be fabricated to attach to these lugs for towing the aircraft with a tractor. Lake & Air
Training and Pilot Shop has this tow bar available for purchase.
On water, a rope bridle arrangement can used to tow the aircraft from the lugs described above.
3.2 HOISTING
Hoisting the aircraft can be performed using a lifting rig that attaches to the aircraft with lifting rings that are
installed at the wing attach points. If the lifting rings are not installed, reference applicable aircraft maintenance/
service manual for additional hoisting specifications. Lake & Air Training and Pilot Shop has this hoisting rig
available for purchase. Contact Wipaire Customer Service for additional guidance in removal or installation of
floats.
CAUTION!
Make sure nothing is under or above the airplane or floats when hoisting the aircraft
1. Raise aircraft high enough to place float cradle under floats as shown in Figure 3-4.
2. Lower aircraft onto float cradle as shown in Figure 3-4.
3. Place fore and aft supports as shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4.
3.3 LEVELING
See applicable aircraft maintenance/service manual.
3.4 JACKING PROCEDURES

CAUTION!

added as needed).
3. Position 1 person at each fore and aft of each float, and 3 people at the jacking location of one float.
4. Modify jack saddle of a 3 ton minimum jack by welding as shown in Figure 3-1.

(X = WIDTH OF CRADLE)
FIGURE 3-1 JACK CRADLE RECOMMENDED MODIFICATION
NOTE: This is not required and Wipaire does not have the parts for modification. It is recommended a similar
modification be performed to the jack saddle to prevent the slippage of the cradle.
1. Center cradle on saddle and position so cradle is as far aft on the main keel as possible without interfering
with main gear as it decompresses as shown in Figure 3-2.
NOTE: If desired to prevent possible cosmetic damage to float, use material to separate cradle and float.
FIGURE 3-2 JACKING LOCATION
1. Jack one side at a time, taking care to check the balance of the aircraft and adding more weight to the front
if needed.
2. Two people, both outboard, lift the fore and aft cradle stands up to the cradle as a 3rd person release the
pressure slowly, allowing the cradle and stands to gently contact the ground.
3. Repeat previous procedure to the other float.
NOTE: A smaller jack may be needed to slightly lift the float into a high enough position for the main jack.

4.0 GENERAL..........................................................................................................................................................22
4.1 LANDING GEAR HANDLE...............................................................................................................................22
4.2 INDICATOR LIGHTS........................................................................................................................................22

4.0 GENERAL
The landing gear incorporated within the amphibious floats on this airplane is retractable, quadricycle type with
two swiveling nose (or bow) wheels and four (4) (two (2) sets of dual) main wheels. Air-oil shock struts on the two
main landing gear assemblies provide shock absorption.
The main landing gear has dual 6:00 x 6 6-ply type III tires and the nose landing gear has one 5:00 x 5 6-ply tire.
The gear system is hydraulically actuated and driven by two hydraulic pumps. Brakes are hydraulic and have a
caliper on each main wheel.
Steering on land is accomplished by differential braking. The nose wheels are full castering.
Landing gear extension and retraction is accomplished by two (2) electrically-driven hydraulic pumps and four
(4) hydraulic actuators (one (1) for each gear). The hydraulic pumps are located in fuselage aft of cockpit and the
hydraulic actuators are located adjacent to each gear. Hydraulic system fluid level should be checked periodically
by viewing the sight glass for fluid level in the upper one-third of the range. If fluid is low, fill with MIL-H-5606 or
equivalent. Filters are installed on pickup tube inside of hydraulic reservoirs. Clean every 100 hours.
Landing gear operation is initiated by movement of the landing gear handle. When the handle is repositioned,
hydraulic pressure in the system will drop and pressure switches will automatically turn on the hydraulic
pump motors to maintain operating pressure in the system. When the gear cycle is completed, the pump will
automatically shut off. If the pressure in the system drops to a preset value, the pressure switches turn the pump
motors back on and build up the pressure to the limit again. Eight (8) position-indicator lights four (4) gear UP and
four (4) gear DOWN are provided to show landing gear position. Two (2) additional indicator lights show when the
landing gear pump motors are operating.
4.1 LANDING GEAR HANDLE
The landing gear handle controls a hydraulic selector valve within the selector head in the instrument panel and
has two (2) positions (UP and DOWN LAND) which give a mechanical indication of the gear position selected.
From either position, the handle must be pulled out to clear a detent before it can be repositioned.
4.2 INDICATOR LIGHTS
Ten (10) indicator lights are mounted on the landing gear control unit adjacent to the landing gear handle. Four (4)
blue indicator lights, labeled NOSE and MAIN (left-hand lights for the left float and right-hand lights for the right
float), show by their illumination that the landing gear is up and locked. The four (4) amber indicator lights, labeled
NOSE and MAIN (left-hand lights for the let float and right-hand lights for the right float), are illuminated when
the landing gear is down and locked. Neither set of lights is illuminated when the landing gear is in transit. Two
(2) red indicator lights, labeled PUMP ON 1 and 2 illuminate when current is supplied to the landing gear motors.
If the motors continue running during flight or on and off repeatedly, the motors should be shut off by pulling
AMPHIBIAN PUMP 1 AND AMPHIBIAN PUMP 2 circuit breakers. Continual running of the motors can result
in premature motor failure. Prior to landing, the circuit breakers should be pushed in to reactivate the circuits.
Troubleshoot hydraulic problem per section 5.4.

5.1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Retraction and extension of the main and nose landing gear is effected by a hydraulic actuation system shown
schematically in figure 5.3.
The gear system is hydraulically actuated and driven by two hydraulic pumps located in the aft fuselage.
A pressure of between 500 and 1000 psi is maintained in the supply line. When the pressure falls below 500
psi, the pressure switch activates the pump solenoid, providing power to the pump. When the pressure reaches
1000 psi, the pressure switch deactivates the solenoid and the pump motor stops. Figure 5.2 shows the electrical
schematic of the system. A check valve on the output side of the pump retains pressure in the system while the
pump is off. The pump has an internal relief valve, which directs oil back to the pump reservoir when the line
pressure exceeds 1200 psi. The system also has an internal relief valve to protect against thermal expansion
when line pressure exceeds 1900 psi.
A cockpit mounted control valve accomplishes the selection of gear up or gear down. Each float gear has
individual indicator lights on the control valve allowing the pilot to confirm that each gear has fully retracted or
extended.
An emergency hand pump is provided, in case of total electric pump failure, or loss of fluid. The reservoir has
additional hydraulic fluid, available only to the hand pump.
The main gear is mechanically locked in both up and down positions. Locking and unlocking is effected utilizing a
small amount of lost motion of the actuator rod. Retraction takes place when pressure is exerted on the actuator
piston driving the collar along the slide tube. The lock is tripped when the follower slides up the contoured track in
the actuator as shown in figure 5.3. A reverse process affects extension. Gear position light proximity switches are
closed when the appropriate hook (containing the magnetic material) nests over the locking bar.
Shock absorption for the main landing gear is provided by a hydraulically dampened air spring. Figure 5.4 shows
the main components. The oil and air share a common chamber. When the oleo is collapsed, the oil is forced
through the main orifice, compressing the air in the upper cylinder. Extension reverses this process. The extended
oleo is initially set at the factory to 140 psi no load. In-field adjustment of air pressure and oil volume is described
in this section.
The nose gear has an over-center down lock. Retraction occurs when pressure is applied to the forward face
of the actuator piston and the carriage is drawn along the tracks in the nose box as shown in figure 5.6. Gear
position light proximity switches are closed when the piston containing the magnetic material has reached either
end of its travel.
The nose gear consists of composite fiberglass beams that are attached at the bottom to castering blocks. Inside
the block is a castering pin that is set into the machined fork assembly. The castering pin allows the nose wheel
to pivot in a complete circle. The geometry is such that no shimmy dampers are necessary. A spring loaded cam
rides in a groove machined in the castering pin. This groove as a flat surface on the back face with the result that
the cam provides retention of the pin the block and self-centering of the wheel.
5.1.1 SERVICE – NOSE GEAR
The nose gear pivot assembly should be cleaned every 25 hours or more frequently whenever in water for
extended period of time. Nose gear tracks after thorough cleaning can be left clean and dry or wiped with a
silicone sprayed cloth on a stick or rod and run along tracks inside of the nose box, both sides.

NOTE: The nose pivot assembly and nose box tracks are exposed to the elements such as dirt and water. Careful
and proactive care is required.
The nose wheels contain grease nipples for the wheel bearings. They should be greased every 25 hours.
Nose tires are standard 5:00 x 5, 6-ply, inflated to 40 +/- 5 psi.
5.1.2 NOSE BOX TRACK WEAR
Due the wear over time the roller/slide block places on the track as the gear are retracted, the block needs to be
measured for the amount of wear. The tolerance for wear is .050 inches. If the wear is, or is less than the limit, it
can still be used. If the wear in the track is greater than .050 inches, the block must be replaced. This check is to
be done every 200 hours and is part of the maintenance checklist.
On the 6000 Series Floats Gear Track P/N 6A07337 (-001 LT -002 RT).
5.1.3 SERVICE – MAIN WHEELS AND BRAKES
Grease nipples are provided on all wheels and bearings and should be greased every 25 hours or after an
extended period of time in the water. Water/heat resistant grease is recommended.
At brake installation, apply STA-Lube synthetic brake caliper grease or equivalent to brake caliper pins.
The dual piston brakes need no special care other than to maintain the brake disc free of rust, which causes
premature brake lining wear. Bleeding is carried out in the usual manner from the bottom up.
Main wheel tires are standard 6:00 x 6, 6-ply type III aircraft tires, inflated to 40 +/- 5 psi. (Refer to figure 5-5).
5.1.4 SERVICE – MAIN GEAR OLEO
OIL LEVEL - The correct level is best set by draining and refilling with the correct quantity of fluid (950 ml). This
should be done with the oleo removed from the float. CAUTION: Release air pressure and remove air valve
before attempting to service oleo. After filling, refit valve and cap, then pressurize to 175 psi. (Note: Use only
MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid.)
AIR PRESSURE – The correct air pressure is 175 psi (+/-10 psi) on a fully extended oleo (no load).
SEALS – Seals should be replaced whenever the oleo is disassembled or leaking.
CAUTION: Release air pressure and remove air valve before attempting to service oleo.

5.2 ADJUSTMENT / TEST
5.2.1 NOSE GEAR
Adjustment of actuator stroke is provided at the ends of the piston rods.
The length of the nose gear rod is adjusted such that the over-center knuckle (brass) rollers just bottom out on the
down side and the piston just bottoms out on the mounting flange.
The up stops nests in the up-stop pin. See figure 5.6 for location and assembly.
Nose gear proximity switches are located on clips that are mounted on the outer cylinder body, one on each end.
The most forward switch is for the gear down lights and most aft is for the gear up position lights. Set the proximity
switch mounting clip along outer cylinder body to a position such that the light goes out when the over-center track
is about ¼ inch from bottomed position while traveling in the up direction. Lights should come on about 1/8 inch
from the bottomed position while traveling in the down direction.
The cylinder piston has a magnet that will activate the proximity switches.
5.2.2 MAIN GEAR
The main gear actuator cylinder is not adjustable. These are pre-set at the factory to ensure that the main gear is
locked at the end of each stroke and that correct indication is given on the cockpit console. The up and down lock
may be adjusted so the lock is fully engaged by adjusting the set screws shown in figure 5.3. Loosen the jamb nut
adjust and tighten jamb nut.
The main gear proximity switches are located on each end of the gear stroke. The forward switch is located on
the forward side of the gear tunnel. It is accessible through the top deck access cover. The aft proximity switch is
located on the float bulkhead just aft of the wheel well, accessible though the float top deck cover.
The main gear proximity switches are adjusted loosening the mounting screws and positioning them as such that
the light goes out when the lock hook is raised about 1/8 inch off its nested position and comes on again upon
nesting.
5.2.3 BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AFTER SERVICE
The system automatically bleeds, provided sufficient oil is maintained in the reservoir. To check the fluid level, fill
the reservoir with hydraulic oil and cycle the gear. The fluid level should be maintained in the upper one third (1/3)
of the sight glass. If the reservoir empties (i.e. fluid disappears in sight glass) stop the cycle by pulling the circuit
breaker on the control panel. Fill the reservoir again and complete the cycle. Continue this procedure until the fluid
level in the reservoir stabilizes (it will vary in level between up and down positions). If the fluid level continues to
decline during gear cycles, check for external leaks.

5.3 MAIN AND NOSE GEAR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
5.3.1 REMOVAL OF MAIN GEAR OLEO
Jack the aircraft by method described in section 3. With main wheels off the ground (both sides), run the gear up
so that the main carriage is approximately 2 inches forward of down lock position. This must be accomplished to
remove the top oleo bolt. In order to remove the lower bolt, it is necessary to remove the wheel on the head side
of the bolt.
5.3.2 REMOVAL OF MAIN GEAR RETRACTION CYLINDER
Relieve pressure in system, place gear selector handle in neutral position (lever between up and down), and
remove hydraulic lines. Remove end cap from end of cylinder. Drain fluid. Remove forward end of cylinder from
bulkhead flange. Remove cylinder support ring from bulkhead.
NOTE: Piston to be in the up position for cylinder removal. Remove cylinder from piston and up through top float
inspection cover. To remove piston, remove top inspection cover on top forward end of gear tunnel, accessible
from top float inspection cover forward of step. Pull back piston to expose top of carriage in center of access
cover. Remove .25 dia. retention bolt. Remove piston by pulling aft. See figure 5.3 for part breakdown.
5.3.3 REMOVAL OF MAIN GEAR DRAG LINK
Remove drag link from trunnions on step bulkhead. Axle is heat shrunk to drag link and is not removable.
5.3.4 REMOVAL OF NOSE GEAR FROM NOSE BOX
Gear must be in down position. Relieve pressure in system, place gear selector handle in neutral position (lever
between up and down), and remove rear hydraulic line. Remove (4) bolts on forward end of cylinder. Drain fluid.
Pull aft to expose internal piston rod. Loosen jamb nut on forward side of cylinder ram at rod end. Turn piston from
aft side of nose box out of rod end. Lift up on gear assembly to unlock. Slide out of nose box.
NOTE: On installation adjust piston so it bottoms out on aft flange when nose gear is in locked position. Also note
orientation of trolley blocks. The side with the most edge distance from hole is to go toward each other on inside
of trolley. (See figure 5.6 for details).
5.3.5 REMOVAL OF NOSE GEAR BOX
Remove bolts securing forward box from nose bulkhead. Remove bolts securing aft box from bulkhead (2). Slide
box out from front of float.
NOTE: Sealant will have to be cut for removal and replaced when installing.

5.3.6 REMOVAL OF LOWER NOSE GEAR FROM PIVOT BLOCK
With weight off of the nose wheel, remove 2 bolts on plate on aft side of pivot block. Remove spring and detent
piston. Nose fork assembly will drop down from pivot block.
5.4 HYDRAULIC PUMP SYSTEM, DISASSEMBLY AND SERVICE
The hydraulic pump is factory preset to the following pressures:
• Pressures switch operates below 500 psi and shuts off at 1000 psi.
• The pump also has an internal relief valve that opens at 1200 psi and a thermal relief valve that opens at
1900 psi. These pressures are set with factory test equipment and are recommended to be sent back for
overhaul or repair.
The unit may be disassembled for cleaning.
1. Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system by placing the gear selector handle in the neutral position.
2. On the forward lower side of the reservoir, remove drain plug to drain most of the hydraulic fluid.
3. Remove the (4) screws on each tank (2) on upper side of the reservoir.
4. Dump out remaining oil, and clean reservoir.
5. Unscrew stand pipe with the filter attached.
6. Clean filter.
7. If filter is removed from stand pipe, a new filter should be used.
8. Reinstall tank and install seals to top of reservoir before installing on pump.
9. Install drain plug and fill with clean MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid through the breather pipe.
10. Fluid level should be in the upper 2/3 of the sight gauge.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
PROBLEM – Powerpack does not run after gear selection.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Circuit breaker has failed

• Pressure switch not pulling in at low cut in.
• Solenoid switch not pulling in.
• Faulty pump motor.
• Motor not properly grounded.
VERIFICATION AND REMEDY
• Reset circuit breaker.

• Short across pressure switch leads and see if motor runs. If motor operates, replace pressure switch.
• Short across solenoid pressure switch leads and see if motor runs. If motor operates, replace solenoid
pressure switch.
• If above step does not produce results and it is verified that voltage was actually applied to motor, it can be
assumed motor is bad or not properly grounded.
• Check motor ground.

PROBLEM – Power pack does not shut off after gear reaches position.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Faulty pressure switch.

• Faulty or dirty pressure relief valve allowing insufficient pressure buildup.
REMEDY
• Replace pressure switch.

• Clean and check relief valve.
PROBLEM – Powerpack shuts off before gear reaches position.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Binding or jammed gear retractor, which causes pressure to build up (and stay up), and pressure switch shuts
off powerpack.
• Faulty or dirty pressure relief valve allowing insufficient pressure buildup.
REMEDY
• Repair retractor.
PROBLEM – Powerpack cycles on and off after gear is in position.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Internal hydraulic leak.

• External hydraulic leak.
REMEDY
• Verify leak is not external by checking fluid level in reservoir and looking at couplings for oil leaks. If no
external leaks are found, disconnect and cap off the hydraulic actuators one at a time and find the leaky one
by process of elimination. If isolating entire system still indicates internal leak, powerpack check valve (located
in pressure port of pump) is bad and needs replacement or reseating.
• Visually inspect lines, cylinders, and hoses and replace as necessary.
PROBLEM – Powerpack cycles on and off during gear cycle.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Binding in retraction unit.

• Pressure switch cut off limit too low.
REMEDY
• Investigate for free operation. Check gear that retracts last.

• Replace pressure switch.
PROBLEM – Slow gear operation cycle (considerably longer than 30 seconds).

PROBABLE CAUSE
• Plugged oil screen.

• Poor electrical connection to motor.
• Poor motor.
• Worn pump gears.
REMEDY
• Clean intake screen located inside reservoir tank.

• Connect motor direct to 24 volt source and note its operation; if good, wire connection is bad; if operation poor,
motor needs overhaul.
• See previous remedy.
• Replace pump.
PROBLEM – Circuit breaker pops during cycle.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Wire connections bad or corroded.

• Bad motor brushes.
• Bad circuit breaker.
REMEDY
• Clean and protect terminal with grease.

• Overhaul motor.
• Replace circuit breaker.

CHAPTER 6 WATER RUDDER RETRACTION AND

STEERING SYSTEM
CONTENTS
6.1 DESCRIPTION..................................................................................................................................................40
6.2 ADJUSTMENT..................................................................................................................................................40

6.1 DESCRIPTION
The water rudder-retract system is manually operated by a lever through a system of cables and pulleys. Steering
is directed from the aircraft rudder steering system.
6.2 ADJUSTMENT
Rigging of the water rudder steering cables is accomplished by centering the airplane rudder and adjusting the
turnbuckles such that both rudders trail with the float center line. Cables should be tensioned to 40 pounds, +/- 5
psi.
Retraction cables should be rigged such that the top of the rudder blade is against the rudder stop on the rudder
posts in the up position and that the cables are just slack in the down position.
Service Schedule
Cables - inspect for fraying annually.
Pulleys - inspect and lubricate annually.

Hydraulic Fluid
Mil-H-5606
As general inspection guidelines, each of the following areas should be inspected for their own unique attributes:
Movable Parts
For lubrication, servicing, security of attachment, binding, excessive wear, safe-tying, proper operation, proper
adjustment, correct travel, cracked fittings, security of hinges, defective bearings, cleanliness, corrosion,
deformation, sealing, and tension.
Fluid Lines and Hoses

For leaks, cracks, dents, kinks, chafing, security, corrosion, and deterioration.
Metal Parts
For security of attachment, cracks, metal distortion, broken welds, corrosion, condition of paint, and any other
apparent damage.
Wiring
For security, chafing, burning, defective insulation, loose or broken terminals, corroded terminals.

Bolt Torque
Bolts in Critical Areas - For common, correct torque when installed, or when visual inspection indicates a need for
a torque check.
Bolt and nut torque should be applied per the specified manufacturer recommended torques (see non-standard
bolt torques table in Section 9). If no bolt torques are specified, use AC43 standard torques (see standard bolt
torque table in Section 9).
Some additional general maintenance areas are as follows:
Nose and Main Gear Tracks

Clean and lubricate with a dry teflon coating spray.
Joints
Spray all joints with light penetrating oil such as LPS 3 to ensure lubrication at all times.
Electrical Connections
Apply SP-400 SOFT SEAL or LPS 500 to all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.

CHAPTER 8 WEIGHT AND BALANCE
CONTENTS
8.0 WEIGHING PROCEDURES FOR THE BEAVER FLOATPLANE.................................................................50

8.0 WEIGHING PROCEDURES FOR THE BEAVER FLOATPLANE
**Viking Dehavilland published two methods for measuring the aircraft weight and balance. The first method
uses a location on the wing 17.5” behind the wing leading edge, a 1/4 chord location datum. Items forward of this
location have a (+) positive ARM and items aft of this location have a (-) negative ARM. The second method uses
an imaginary datum forward of the aircraft so all items have a (+) positive ARM. Refer to the aircraft POH or POH
supplement for proper W&B balance method used. Reference Viking Weight and Balance Manual PSM 1-2-8 for
more information.
Method 1 (Datum At Wing ¼ Chord)

1. Level aircraft per manufacturer’s instructions or use the cabin door lower sill.
2. Place scales under the right and left main and nose gears.
3. Place blocking under the right and left main gears to level aircraft.
4. Draw lines on the floor from the centerline main wheels and centerline nose wheel left to right.
5. At the wing root, measure 17.5 inches behind the main wing leading edge and hang a plumbob from this
location and mark its location. Do this on both wings and draw a line in between both points. This line is 1/4
chord-station zero.
6. Draw another line between the nose wheel centers and a 4th line between the main wheel centers.
• Measure the distance from 0.0 to the nose wheel line. This is X1 and X2.
• Measure the distance from 0.0 to the main wheel line. This is Y1 and Y2.
7. Arm measurements forward of station zero are positive while measurements aft of the station 0 are negative.
NOTE: If the floats are seaplane floats, the scales go under the step point in the rear and a point towards the front
of the float. These distances are measured and become the same X and Y as for the amphibian.
Use this table for the calculations:
WEIGHT X ARM = MOMENT

Scale Reading Distance from 0.0 Weight X Arm
Left Front X1 + +
Right Front X2 + +
Left Rear Y1 + -
Right Rear Y2 + -
Totals
Notes:
1. Zero out or deduct tare weights at the Y arm.

Method 2 (Datum At/Forward Of Spinner)

1. Level aircraft per manufacturer’s instructions or use the cabin door lower sill.
2. Place scales under the right and left main and nose gears.
3. Place blocking under the right and left main gears to level aircraft.
4. Draw lines on the floor from the centerline main wheels and centerline nose wheel left to right.
5. At the wing root, measure 17.5 inches behind the main wing leading edge and hang a plumbob from this
location and mark its location. Do this on both wings and draw a line in between both points. This line is 1/4
chord.
6. Using a T-Level or carpenters square, mark a perpendicular line going forward of the 1/4 chord line. For
DHC2-MKI aircraft, measure this line 100”. For DHC2-MKIII aircraft, measure this line 200”. For PC-6
measure 200”. This is station 0.0.
7. Draw lines between the nose wheel centers and between the main wheel centers.
• Measure the distance from 0.0 to the nose wheel line. This is X1 and X2.
• Measure the distance from 0.0 to the main wheel line. This is Y1 and Y2.
NOTE: If the floats are seaplane floats, the scales go under the step point in the rear and a point towards the front
of the float. These distances are measured and become the same X and Y as for the amphibian.
Use this table for the calculations:
WEIGHT X ARM = MOMENT

Scale Reading Distance from 0.0 Weight X Arm
Left Front X1 + +
Right Front X2 + +
Left Rear Y1 + +
Right Rear Y2 + +

9.0 BOLT TORQUES..............................................................................................................................................54

9.0 BOLT TORQUES
In the absence of any preempting data such as that found on installation drawings, use the NON-STANDARD
table below for the listed fasteners. If the nut and bolt torque is not included in the NON-STANDARD TORQUES
table and has no torque value provided on an associated installation drawing or service letter, use AC43.13-1B
standard torque value tables shown below.
Use caution when tightening bolts in shear that are subject to rotational movement. The nut should be run down
to washer or bearing surface snugly and must NOT be over torqued. Over torquing may cause deformation of the
connection to a degree likely to result in binding or unnecessary wear.
