Merely go down through the list of things to check, or items to perform, and check off the appropriate space(s) on the right. Comments in the space should classify the inspected assembly as: "G"ood, or Satisfactory "F"air, but could stand some work. "P"oor - needs repairs (but it is still "airworthy). "U"nairworthy - grounded until repaired. (Does not apply). Other indented lined area are provided for writing in information such as: Date / tach of last service Current pressure setting or wear length: Component serial number Component Serial Numbers Component serial numbers will be requested during the inspection to ensure that they have not been mysteriously replaced without a log entry since the last inspection. They need not be checked against the records right now, but if a question arises later, this record will attest to the fact that a particular component was installed at the date of the inspection. √ F P U . . . 9Introduction Logbook Entries Logbook Entries Several Service / overhaul decisions are made depending on the time-in-service, so to make things easier, go through the logbooks (or the last owner-assisted form) now and find the Date / tach time for the most recent service or overhaul of the following components: NOTE: Most 100-hr. service items are automatically assumed to be performed during this inspection, and are not listed below. NOTE: Components are listed in order of nose-to-tail, more or less Service Description Last Serviced Service Every: Next Service Due: Beech 215-series propeller: Propeller service 250 hrs Propeller overhaul 1,000 hrs Propeller pitch motor brushes 200 hrs Induction air filter 100 hrs Major engine overhaul 1,500 hrs Engine oil change screen: 25 hrs filter: 50 hrs Spark plug inspection 25 hrs Thompson TF-1900 fuel pump drive pin 250 hrs Fuel selector sump screen 100 hrs Fuel lines replaced 5 yrs or at overhaul Oil lines replaced 5 yrs or at overhaul Starter motor brushes 200 hrs Generator brushes 200 hrs Air / oil separator service 400 hrs Instrument vacuum filter replaced 250 hrs Altimeter check 24 mos Transponder check 24 mos Pitot / static air line check 24 mos Landing gear motor brushes 200 hrs ELT battery 24 mos 10 Propeller Logbook Entries Propeller Note: Do not wash the plane before inspection. The dirt and oil patterns may make it easier to discern hidden problems. 1 Spinner Check spinner for dents, cracks and security. Remove spinner Note: The mounting screws should be replaced "periodically" (say, 5 years), as they tend to become difficult to remove with age. 2 Spinner bulkhead Check for cracks and security 3 Propeller hub Look for grease leakage at the blade hub juncture caused by overgreasing. Also check for cracks, security and cleanliness. 4 Blades Beech R200-series (wood): Model 35 - A35: a (unknown) Beech B200-series (wood): Model B35: a (unknown) Beech 215-series (aluminum): Model C35 - F35: a Check blades for damage, especially on the leading edge and on the back face. Look closely at any previous repair of rock damage, especially if file marks appear. Remove any nicks or file marks that are found. They should be polished out with crocus cloth. Even a file mark will cause a stress concentration that can start a crack. b Look for cracks across the face of the blade. Such cracks indicate blade stress and imminent failure. c Blades should have a small amount of movement (about 1/8" - 1/4"), fore and aft, at the tip. This play is necessary to ensure free movement and to avoid overloading of the blade bearings. d Check the play or looseness of the pitch control mechanism. e Lube propeller blade bearings f Date / tach of last service g Hand pack grease every 250 hrs. Hartzell HC12X20 prop: a (unknown) Hartzell HC-A3VF-4 ("heavy blade") 3-blade prop: a (unknown) 11Fuselage - Left Side Forward of wing - Left 5 Propeller attach bolts Look for loose prop attach bolts, or signs of oil coming from the prop hub that would indicate a crack. 6 Check exposed area of crankshaft between prop and engine for signs of oil leaks that result from a crack in the crankcase. 7 Crankshaft seals Check front crankshaft seals for signs of leakage. Fuselage - Left Side Forward of wing - Left Nose 1 Nose cowling (nose bug) Check around the spinner cutout in the nose bowl for cracks. Stop-drill those of minor nature. More severe cracks should be repaired by patching or welding. 2 Air induction grill Remove air induction grill 3 Air induction filter a Date / tach of last service b Condition Look at the air induction filter. It will tell you if the plane was flown out of dirt strips or not. If it was, then pay particular condition to the propeller blade (rock nicks) and landing gear (proper strut extension and mud in the wheel wells). Beech wire mesh / fiber element filter: c If you can see through the filter, or most of the fuzz-like coating is gone, replace the filter. (part# 56-1377, -or- R814 {not sure which}) d Remove and clean the air filter with cleaning solvent. Air-dry and spray with a fine coat of light oil. e While replacing the filter, check for dirt in the induction system by reaching into the induction ductwork and wiping your hand across the interior surface. Is it gritty? If it is, then dirt is getting past the filter, or is coming in through the open aux. air door. Suggest to owner that the filter be replaced more often, and advise him that oil analysis will show up with more silicon (sand) in the reports. Beech paper element filter (part# 35-380035-5): f Replace the filter every 100 hrs. g While replacing the filter, check for dirt in the induction system by reaching into the induction ductwork and wiping your hand across the interior surface. Is it gritty? If it is, then dirt is getting past the filter, or is coming in through the open aux. air door. Suggest to owner that the filter be replaced more often, and advise him that oil analysis will show up with more silicon (sand) in the reports. 12 Fuselage - Left Side Forward of wing - Left Brackett foam filter (Brackett part# BA-7112): h Replace the filter every 100 hrs. Forward of Wing 1 Exterior skin This should include a thorough inspection of the exterior skins from the firewall forward, less the cowling and cowl flaps. Inspect for damage, cracks, and worn rivets. The most prevalent spot for worn rivets is in the nacelle skin tie to the firewall just above the cowl flap areas on both sides. In early stages, they show up as black stains around the affected rivets. They should be replaced when stains or looseness are found. 2 Oil filler door a Condition b Placard check c Placard check 3 Cowling door (left): a Exterior condition b Proper operation c Interior condition d Fasteners The top and side cowls should be checked for fit and wear, and fasteners for condition. Worn fasteners should be replaced. A thin coat of silicone sealer can be applied to the nacelle surfaces that the cowls ride on. This will eliminate the metal-to-metal contact and do away with black streaks (of oxidized aluminum). 4 Engine cheek cowl panel (left): a Exterior condition Side cowls worn to the point where Airloc studs will not stay in the cowl panel should be replaced. b Proper operation c Interior condition 5 Nosewheel strut hinge bolt cover (left) 6 Cowl flap (left) (See Engine Compartment section) OIL USE SAE 50 ABOVE 40º F USE SAE 30 BELOW 40º F OIL CAPACITY MAX: 10 U.S. QTS MIN: 8 U.S. QTS 13Fuselage - Left Side Wing - Left 7 Phono jack under window - placard check 8 Pilot's storm window a Condition 9 Front-seat window (left): a Condition 10 Rear-seat window (left): a Condition Wing - Left Leading Edge 1 Cabin air vent intake screen 2 Wing root - leading edge - placard check 3 Fuel filler door a General condition b Placard check c Placard check d Placard check e Auto gas STC: Placard check 4 Fuel cap a Check for proper sealing. b Check for signs of leaks GROUND HERE NO STEP FUEL 20 US GAL (17 USABLE) USE GRADE 80 AVIATION FUEL ONLY CAUTION DO NOT INSERT FUEL NOZZLE MORE THAN 3" INTO TANK UNLEADED AUTOMOTIVE GASOLINE, 87 MINIMUM ANTIKNOCK INDEX AND/OR LEADED AUTOMOTIVE GASOLINE, 88 MINIMUM ANTIKNOCK INDEX, (RON+MON)/2 PER ASTM D-439 IS APPROVED. INTERMIXING WITH AVIATION GASOLINE ALSO APPROVED. DO NOT USE FUEL THAT CONTAINS ALCOHOL. USE ONLY PETROLEUM BASED GASOLINE. 14 Fuselage - Left Side Wing - Left 5 Fuel cell a Look inside the cell to see if the cell has wrinkled or collapsed. b Fuel cell manufacturer check: Goodyear BTC-39 fuel cell: "Bad" - Fuel filler ring has one cast aluminum nutplate ring bonded on inside surface of cell. b1 Check for AD 78-05-06 compliance. UniRoyal fuel cell: "Good" - Fuel filler ring has two machined steel rings with the wall secured between them. b1 (No action necessary). 6 Landing light lens condition 7 Stall warning detector Model 35 - B35: "Fluttering vane" stall detector on traiing edge of wing Model C35 & later:"Lift style" stall detector on leading edge of wing (Test will be done later) Wingtip 1 Wingtip assembly 2 Navigation light (red) 3 Navigation light indicator lens Trailing Edge 1 Aileron (left): a General condition b Attachment (hinges) c Alignment Check the gap between the aileron and the trailing edge. The gap should be the same. If the gap is wider at either end, chances are it was installed wrong, and one of the aileron hinges is not in its bolt mounting hole. d Freedom of movement e Full travel Deflect the aileron against its down-travel stop. Settings: Up: Down: 20º ± 2º 20º ± 2º It should hit the stop in the wing before it hits the stop in the control column. f Counterweights With the aileron against its stop, Strike the trailing edge with your fist, and listen for any rattling noise that would indicate loose counterweights. g Trim tab h Push up and down on the aileron. Listen for a thumping noise in the nose gear well. If you do, it is probably caused by a worn nose steering idler arm. 15Fuselage - Left Side Wing - Left Check for frayed aileron cables at the pulleys below the floorboards and just aft of the firewall. I would suspect the chain tension inside the control arm is the most likely spot. 2 Flaps - placard check a Placard check - flap leading edge – flaps extended 10° b Placard check - flap leading edge – flaps extended 20° c Placard check - Trailing Edge of Flap d Model 35 - B35: Placard check - next to stall warning vane 3 Flap (left): a Inspect flap skins for condition. Especially so where the flap actuator attaches to the flap - any deformation indicates a broken bulkhead inside the flap. b Attachment c Bearings d Actuators e Alignment with other flap Check for flap looseness at the trailing edge. If there is movement, go to the right-hand flap. If there is no free movement on the right flap, squawk the flap adjustment. The right flap is a slave to the left flap; you don't want the right flap to stop (up or down) before the left. f Limit switches - check for alignment and accuracy. Topside 1 Wing: general condition Check for a bump in the area above the landing gear, indicating that the gear is/ was improperly rigged, and is striking the top of the wheel bay from below. 2 Wing bolt: forward bathtub drain If wing has been re-attached, wing bolt must be re-torqued (once) after 100 hrs. 3 Wing bolt: rear bathtub drain If wing has been re-attached, wing bolt must be re-torqued (once) after 100 hrs. Underside 1 Wing: general condition 2 Jack attach point - placard check 10º 20º NO STEP DO NOT HANDLE JACK ATTACH POINT 16 Fuselage - Left Side Wing - Left 3 Fuel sump a Check for leaks or stains b Placard check 4 Fuel cell forward vent (overfill vent) 5 Possible fuel cell leakage a Look for fuel stains at the lower fuel cell area (trailing edge) b Look for fuel stains along the bottom front spar, around the front lower spar bathtub drain. c Look for fuel stains along the bottom wing root fairing. Fuel cell leaking? Check the gaskets & connections first. Also check to see if it has jillions of pinhole leaks. 6 Anti-siphon valves for operation 7 Fuel cell rear vent a Note the position of the fuel vent. It should stick out 1-3/4 inch, angle forward 10°, and chamfered forward about 45°. b Look for fuel stains around the vent. If present, check the siphon break vent hole in the bottom wing just outboard of the fuel tank end. Talk to the owner about fuel siphoning through the vents. 8 Pitot tube 9 Tiedown ring Remove inspection cover 1 (rectangular cover by landing light) 10 Inspection cover 1 interior a Check fuel lines for security.

Examine it closely! This is the stabilizer attach bulkhead which will show buckling or warping if there has been any overstress on the tail (the infamous v-tail problem). Take special pains to look for cracks, too. b Lubricate ruddervator differential control every 100 hrs. 3 Check the rudder spar and bell crank welds for cracks and rust. 4 Check control cables for condition and correct routing. Standard check procedures calls for inspection of control cables both visually for condition and by slipping a cloth along the cable which will detect broken cable strands that eventually could lead to further deterioration. 5 Elevator cable tension Settings (lbs.): min max: @ 70º: 22 32 a Cable tension is: 6 Elevator trim tab cable tension Settings (lbs.): min max: L E V E L P O I N T STATIC AIR KEEP CLEAN 19Fuselage - Left Side Fuselage - Tail @ 70º: 17 22 a Cable tension is: 7 Elevator push-pull rods a Rotate the push-pull rods.

In early stages, they show up as black stains around the affected rivets. They should be replaced when stains or looseness are found. 2 Phono jack under window - placard check 3 Cowling door (left): a Exterior condition b Proper operation c Interior condition d Fasteners The top and side cowls should be checked for fit and wear, and fasteners for condition. Worn fasteners should be replaced. A thin coat of silicone sealer can be applied to the nacelle surfaces that the cowls ride on. This will eliminate the metal-to-metal contact and do away with black streaks (of oxidized aluminum). 4 Engine cheek cowl panel (right): a Exterior condition Side cowls worn to the point where Airloc studs will not stay in the cowl panel should be replaced. b Proper operation c Interior condition 5 Nosewheel strut hinge bolt cover (left) GROUND HERE 28 Landing Gear Nose Gear 6 Cowl flap (right) (See Engine Compartment section) 7 Cabin door: a Condition b Seals and fit (closed) c Door handle / lock: c1 Condition c2 Lubricate door handle / lock every 100 hrs. d Door latching mechanism (upper): d1 Condition d2 Lubricate upper door latching mechanism every 100 hrs. e Door latching mechanism (lower): e1 Condition e2 Lubricate lower door latching mechanism every 100 hrs f Door hinges: f1 Condition To check the door for looseness or poor fit, open the door up to its full open position and lift up on the door to see if there is any play. f2 Lubricate door hinges every 100 hrs. The shop manual lubrication chart fails to show these hinges as a lubrication point. The hinge pins are located behind the recessed rubber plugs. The plugs can be easily removed exposing the hinge pins for annual or periodic inspection. A little bit of oil will go a long ways towards minimizing pin wear, thus a sagging door. g Door hold-open arm 8 Close and latch the cabin door.

The patches will keep water from soaking the oiled felt pad at the bottom of the strut and corroding the magnesium strut. Install waterproof patches if there aren't any. Some will go so far as to have an aluminum plate fabricated to cover the holes - an excellent idea. c Check for leakage d Proper extension Settings: Min Max Model 35: 2-1/2" ? " Model A35 and later: 3-3/16" ? " s/n D-6562 and later: 3-1/2" ? " Strut extension length is: Nosewheel strut going flat? Check for a bad schrader valve core. If the strut is low, you can pump it up with a special high-pressure pump, or wait until the plane is up on jacks and do it with an ordinary pump. 31Landing Gear Nose Gear e Placard check 11 Nosewheel strut - service a Strut felt pads There is a felt pad at the bottom of the strut. They keep water out of the (open-casting version) strut. Lubricate the felt pads with oil every 100 hrs. If it doesn't get done often enough, the bronze bearing will get dry and seize. Make sure it is well soaked, so water will not sit there and begin corrosion. b Zerk fittings Grease all zerk fittings every 100 hrs.

Unsnap and peel back the canvas cover and inspect the uplock bracket for the following: a Check for cracks b Check that the uplock bracket is not bent where the uplock cable attaches to it. c Make sure that the bolt that attaches the uplock cable to the uplock bracket points forward (screw head aft). The bolt position is covered in Beech Service Instruction 0680-211. d Make sure that the uplock spring (part # 35-815115, or part # 100942C0020-31) located between the uplock bracket and the outer wing rib of the wheel compartment is in good condition. Absolutely no corrosion. The uplock spring is VERY IMPORTANT. This spring is the sole means of pulling the uplock bracket and uplock block clear of the uplock roller, thus allowing main gear extension. If there is any question as to the uplock spring condition, replace it. Also, check for elongation of the hole where the uplock spring attaches to the wing rib. e Closely inspect the uplock cable for broken strands and corrosion where it is swaged into the outboard terminal. This is usually where the uplock cable breaks. f Check cable tension Settings: min: std: max: - 0 52-1/2 lbs + 10 Cable tension is: g A short piece of rubber hose should be attached to the outboard end of the uplock cable outer housing. This hose prevents interference of the uplock roller lubrication fitting with the uplock cable. This subject is covered in Beech Service Instruction 0448-211. h Models 1964 and newer: Beech Service Instruction, 0736-211, applies to the uplock brackets. This modification requires removal of material on the uplock bracket which reduces the bending of the uplock cable during landing gear operation. i Inspect that the uplock roller turns freely. The roller bearing should roll with a twist of the fingers. Clearance settings: min: max: .010 in. .020 in. Bearing-to-block clearance is about 0.010" - 0.020" (about 1/64", or the thickness of a razor blade) If not, check the vee brace to the wing skin first - it should be 1/16". Get this right first, then adjust the uplock spacing. j Lubricate the uplock roller every 100 hours. This complies with AD 72-22-01. k Check the uplock block for signs of contact with the roller. The uplock roller and uplock block should not ever touch. The owner can check this by smearing grease on the outside of the roller, and retract the gear a couple of times. You can tell after a few retractions if the two are contacting. l Check the uplock block hinge bolt and holes for wear. m Check the canvas boot over uplock block mechanism for holes It is important to keep the canvas covers (Left hand: # 35-815156-4, Right hand:# 35-815156-5) in good condition because they prevent the uplock cables from fouling with the top wing skin ribs. If the canvas cover or uplock springs need to be replaced, the easiest way to install them is to remove the uplock bracket from the gear. When replacing an uplock spring, do not pry open the ends of the spring. It is a tough fit, but install the spring as it is supplied from Beech. 34 Landing Gear Main Gear - Left 8 Strut a Condition Look for paint chipping on the lower saddle piece surrounding the main strut (the saddle piece is part of the "outrigger" struts). If there is chipped paint, then check to see if the bolt attaching the outboard door to the link rod is installed backwards. This bolt should point rearward (screw head forward). b Check for leakage c Proper extension Settings: min: max: Model 35: 2-5/8” Model A35: 3-9/32” Model B35: 3-9/32” Model C35 and later: 3" Strut extension length is: If the strut is low, you can pump it up with a special high-pressure pump, or wait until the plane is up on jacks and do it with an ordinary pump. d Proper operation Put your back under the wing spar near the tip, and using yourself as a human jack, lift the wingtip up and down several times, and observe the operation of the landing gear strut. If the strut sticks or extends jerkily or groans while extending and compressing, then the strut may be low on fluid. e Placard check 9 Strut: service a Lubricate main gear hinge points every 100 hrs. b Lubricate main gear torque knee every 100 hrs. c Lubricate main gear retract links every 100 hrs. d Zerk fittings - inspect e Grease all zerk fittings every 100 hrs.
