Type Design Change: 2. Scope: 3. Purpose: 4. Arrangement: 5. Superseded Documents: 6. Applicability: 7. Precautions: 8. Referenced Publications: 9. Distribution: This type design change consists of the installation of the V/G Systems. Inc Vortex Generator System pursuant to STC SA4016NM on Hawker Beechcraft Models 55/58/95 The scope of this Instruction for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) focuses exclusively on Maintenance, Inspection & Airworthiness Limitations of this FAA-approved type design change. The purposes of this ICA are to apprise Owner/Operators who have modified their airplane pursuant to this type design change: (1) When, where & how to inspect; and (2) When to replace this type design to assure continued operational safety. This ICA is a single document comprised of seven (7) Chapters: Chapter 1, Introduction; Chapter 4, Airworthiness Limitations; Chapter 5, Inspection Requirements & Overhaul Schedule; Chapter 8, Weight and Balance Chapter 27, Flight Controls Chapter 55, Stabilizers, and Chapter 57, Wings This ICA supersedes the Hawker Beechcraft Maintenance documents only in the areas relating to Stabilizer and Wings service and maintenance. This ICA is applicable to all Serial Numbered Hawker Beechcraft Models 55/58/95 aircraft. There are no precautionary notes contained in D'Shannon Products, LTD. DP-ICA-100. (1) V/G Systems, Inc. installation manuals VG-100A dated 3/24/92 or later FAA-approved revision and VG-101 dated 3/24/92 or later FAA- approved revision. (2) Hawker Beechcraft Maintenance Manual for the Model and Serial Number of the aircraft being maintained. (4) Advisory Circular AC 43.13-1B D'Shannon Products, LTD. will maintain a list of all Hawker Beechcraft /Operators that have purchased our Vortex Generator kits, and should the need arise to modify this ICA, The AEG- accepted revision will be sent directly to all Owner/Operators. For Owner/Operators having internet access, the latest AEG- accepted revision to this ICA will be available for downloading from the D'Shannon Products, LTD. website: http://d-shannon-aviation.com/ DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 2 CHAPTER 4 AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS There are no changes to Airworthiness Limitations with the Vortex Generators installed. DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 3 CHAPTER 5 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS & OVERHAUL SCHEDULE 1. INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS 2. OVERHAUL SCHEDULE Visual inspection of the vortex generator system by the pilot is required prior to each flight and should include noting the absence of any vortex generators. Discrepancies should be reviewed with properly rated repair personnel. There are no change to the overhaul schedule relating to the Stabilizers or Wings associated with this type design change. DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 4 CHAPTER 8 WEIGHT and BALANCE 1. NET EFFECT: Installation of a DL-100 vortex generator system results in a negligible change in the weight and balance of the aircraft. DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 5 CHAPTER 12 SERVICING 1. VORTEX GENERATORS Access to the vortex generators on the vertical stabilizer may be gained with a stepladder. DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 6 CHAPTER 27 FLIGHT CONTROLS 1. RIGGING The V/G Systems vortex generator system is designed to reduce stall speeds through control of boundary layer airflow, and to improve low speed handling qualities. It is assumed that the airplane conforms to its original Type Data Certificate because of the FAA's requirement that aircraft receive at minimum annual inspections to maintain airworthiness. Should the aircraft not conform to its original Type Data Certificate in the areas of control travel/trim tabs, control cable tensions, or wing incidence, the modified aircraft may not be able to attain airspeeds contained in the V/G System information and/or Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement. It is recommended that mechanics and owner/pilots take this into consideration, and that these items be inspected and adjusted if necessary according to the appropriate aircraft maintenance manual. DP-ICA-100 Date January 30, 2009 Revision IR Page 7 CHAPTER 55 STABILIZERS 1. GENERAL - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES On condition or at annual inspection, the security of the vortex
