Therefore, it is the installer's responsibility to make the final determination of applicability for each individual airplane. Prior to completing the installation, and before returning the airplane to service, the installer must complete and submit a completed Form FAA 337 - Major Repair & Alteration (Airframe, Powerplant, Propeller, or Appliance) to the appropriate FAA Aircraft Registration Branch. The form must include the following: • Description of the autopilot servo installation. • Description of how the autopilot servos interface with existing equipment and systems. • Appropriately approved or acceptable data that demonstrates compliance. Refer to AC 43.9-1G - Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337 for additional information. 4.1 Pre-installation Information Read and understand the following before proceeding with installation activities. Always install avionics equipment in accordance with the instructions in this manual and the guidance and approved engineering methods outlined the following FAA documents: • AC 23.1311-1C - Installation of Electronic Display in Part 23 Airplanes • AC 43.13-1B - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection • AC 43.13-2B - Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Alterations The certified technician who will authorize the airplane's return to service should agree with the installation plan (i.e., methods, component locations, wiring harness routing, etc.) before installation activities begin. This will help avoid potential rework should any part of the installation be found non-compliant.

It is important for installers to verify the condition, rigging, tension, and diameter of the control cables before starting installation activities. The diameter of control cables should be measured in the vicinities where the autopilot servos will be installed. DO NOT connect an autopilot system to improperly rigged and tensioned control cables. This includes control cables that are frayed or do not meet manufacturers' specifications. To inspect the aileron control cable, installers need to access the area under left rear seat near FS118.5 (see Figure 1 for exact location) in accordance with the manufacturer's service manual. To inspect the elevator and rudder control cables, installers need to access the area behind the baggage area near FS207 (see Figure 18 for exact location) in accordance with the manufacturer's service manual. Dynon's bridle cable clamps are designed to meet the requirements below for wire rope as specified by MIL-DTL-83420. CONTROL CABLE NOMINAL DIAMETER MINIMUM DIAMETER MAXIMUM DIAMETER Aileron1 5/32" or, 5/32" and 1/8" 0.156" or, 0.156" and 0.125" 0.172" or, 0.172" and 0.139" Elevator 1/8" 0.125" 0.139" Rudder 5/32" 0.156" 0.172" 1) Roll servo installation kit includes materials for both 5/32" and 1/8" control cables.

Contact Dynon Sales for more information. Servo electrical harnesses must be routed through the airframe structure as outlined in AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11, Section 3. Servo electrical harnesses must not chafe against airframe structure. after all electrical connection activities are complete, visually inspect all harness routing. Servo electrical harnesses cannot interfere with the airplane's flight controls. After all electrical connection activities are complete, confirm this by moving all controls through full range of motion per manufacturer's maintenance instructions. Terminate servo electrical harnesses with a D9 connector shell with female pins; terminate pigtails on servo electrical harnesses with mating D9 connectors. Power for all servos must be controlled by a switch prominently mounted on the instrument panel labeled AP Power. This provides the pilot the ability to quickly turn off power to the servos should it be needed. Servo power (AP Power) and the pitch and roll servo disconnect (AP DISC) circuits are required to be separate from the power and signal circuits provided over the SkyView Network. The servos should receive power from a common power source with circuit protection sized for the loads associated with all servos. Do not connect the yaw servo disconnect circuit to the pitch and roll servo disconnect (AP DISC) circuit. This will result in a yaw servo calibration test failure. The yaw servo disconnect circuit should only be connected to a Yaw Damper button or left unconnected if no Yaw Damper button is installed. After electrically connecting the Autopilot servos, perform the Servo Calibration Procedure (see Section 11.2: Calibration Procedure for instructions).

SkyView HDX - Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual, Baron Models 58 & 58A, Rev E, 12/6/2023 Page | 11-1 11 Servo Maintenance This section provides maintenance information for autopilot servos and associated bracketry. See the SkyView HDX General Maintenance Manual for information about troubleshooting the Autopilot system interface. No special tools or facility are required to service an autopilot servo and bracketry. If replacing an autopilot servo, a calibrated tensiometer is required. 11.1 Service Every 12 months (1 calendar year), the autopilot servo components and wiring harnesses should be inspected to ensure continued integrity of the installation (see below). • Inspect for security of servo attachment, which includes visual inspection of brackets and other supporting structures that attach to airplane. • Inspect servo capstan for roughness, sharp edges, and presence of foreign material embedded in grooves. • Inspect bridle cables for wear and broken wires strands. • Inspect for signs of corrosion. • Inspect condition of wiring, shield terminations, routing, and attachment/clamping, along with any airplane penetration points. In the event of system failures, contact Dynon Technical Support. Always have a properly rated mechanic or qualified facility remove a failed component. 11.2 Calibration Procedure The SkyView Autopilot servo settings are available for download as a configuration file that is loaded into the SkyView HDX display. This file configures the autopilot servo performance settings to meet the applicable certification regulations. Servo calibration cannot be performed without the following: • An ADAHRS module (SV-ADAHRS-200) installed and configured in the SkyView network. • All servos installed and configured in the SkyView Network. • V-speeds correctly entered in SkyView HDX. (See the SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) To make a new servo appear on the SkyView HDX display, configure the SkyView Network (SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE). (See the SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) To calibrate the servos, enter the Servo Calibration Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > AP SERVO CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION) and follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate the servo(s). Page | 11-2 SkyView HDX - Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual, Baron Models 58 & 58A, Rev E, 12/6/2023 SkyView checks the status of the AP DISC button. If SkyView detects that the button is pressed (the input is grounded) upon entering AP SERVO CALIBRATION, the AP DISC button is assumed to be stuck (or incorrectly installed), resulting in the following message being displayed, and the autopilot servo calibration is aborted: "The servo disconnect switch appears to be pressed and may be installed incorrectly. The servo disconnect switch should be a type Momentary, Push Button Normal Open (PBNO). Press cancel below to return to the servo calibration menu." If the servo calibration procedure is not successful, inspect the button and servo wiring. (See the 103261-000 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual document for instructions.) If button type and wiring is correct, call Dynon Technical Support. If the servo calibration procedure is successful, SkyView will automatically instruct you to run the servo test procedure. (See Section 11.3 for instructions.) 11.3 Test Procedure The servo test procedure requires a successful servo calibration. The servo test procedure verifies that each servo is configured properly by moving the control surfaces while the installer verifies the correct movement. You may run this procedure on its own at any time after a successful servo calibration. SkyView will not display AP status on the Top Bar until after this test procedure is successfully completed. To run this procedure on its own (after a successful servo calibration procedure), enter the Servo Test Wizard (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > AP SERVO CALIBRATION > TEST) and follow the onscreen instructions to test the servo(s). 11.4 Servo Operation Check Complete the following procedures to confirm the servos are operating correctly. To check autopilot disconnect functionality: 1. Make sure master power and autopilot servo power are ON. 2. Engage autopilot. 3. Complete the following: • Press AP button in Autopilot Control menu, and make sure autopilot disconnects.

Servo installation procedures often require the temporary removal and re-attachment of capstans. Unless otherwise specified, torque all fasteners per specifications in AC 43.13-1B, Table 7-1. Include specified friction drag value when torquing screws. Reference Figure 45: Exploded View of a Typical Servo Capstan Assembly when performing the following procedure. To remove and re-attach the capstan: 1. Remove cotter pin that secures castle nut to servo shaft. 2. Mark position of castle nut in relation to servo shaft, and then remove castle nut from servo shaft. 3. Remove wave washer from servo shaft. 4. Removed nylon washer from servo shaft. 5. Remove capstan from servo shaft. The shear screw does not need to be removed from the servo disc. The capstan has a hole that fits over the shear screw head. If the shear screw is loosened, it must be completely removed and replaced (see Section 11.7: Shear Screw Replacement). 6. Place capstan onto output shaft, aligning hole in capstan with shear screw head located in servo disc. 7. Replace nylon washer on servo shaft. 8. Replace wave washer on servo shaft. 9. Finger-tighten castle nut onto servo shaft, and then use a wrench to tighten until slot in castle nut lines up with hole for cotter pin in servo shaft. DO NOT overtighten the castle nut! Tightening the castle nut beyond 4 in-lbs may prevent the capstan from rotating freely in the event of shear screw failure. 10. Install new cotter pin to secure castle nut to servo shaft. SkyView HDX - Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual, Baron Models 58 & 58A, Rev E, 12/6/2023 Page | 11-5 11.6 Cable Guard Adjustment Dynon's autopilot servos are shipped with cable guards installed. The cable guard may need to be repositioned to avoid interference with the flight control cables or the bridle cables during servo installation procedures. The following procedure details the task of adjusting a cable guard. Unless otherwise specified, torque all fasteners per specifications in AC 43.13-1B, Table 7-1. Include specified friction drag value when torquing screws. Reference Figure 45: Exploded View of a Typical Servo Capstan Assembly when performing the following procedure. To adjust the cable guard: 1. Remove capstan from servo shaft (see Section 11.5 for instructions). 2. Remove screws and star washers that secure capstan guard to servo. 3. Rotate capstan guard to correct position. 4. Secure capstan guard to servo with screws and star washers. 5. Re-attach capstan to servo shaft (see Section 11.5 for instructions). 11.7 Shear Screw Replacement Dynon autopilot servos come equipped with a capstan. The capstan connects to the servo via a frangible shear screw. The shear screw can be broken by the pilot to restore system movement should a servo become jammed. It is possible for turbulence loads acting on the airplane to cause a shear screw to fail, even though the servo never jammed. In the event of a shear screw failure, contact Dynon Technical Support to request a 102991-000 Shear Screw Replacement Kit. Shear screw replacement instructions are provided in the Dynon Servo Shear Screw Replacement Instructions document included in the Shear Screw Replacement Kit.

Make sure rudder control cables in area where bridle cable clamps will attach is clean and free of dirt and grease. 7. Use bridle cable clamps to loosely connect bridle cable ends to rudder control cables at marks made during removal process. Make sure bridle cable travels over roller and cable clamps contact swage stops at each end of bridle cable, as shown in Figure 43. 8. Make sure bridle cable does not contact cable guard. The bridle cable will prematurely wear if it contacts the cable guard throughout its travel. 9. If cable guard interferes with bridle cable, adjust cable guard position (see Section 11.6 for instructions), and then repeat Step 8. 10. Tension and temporarily secure bridle cable to 15–20 lbs. Make sure orientation mark points forward (see Figure 43). The tension on the bridle cable should never exceed the tension on control cable. 11. When satisfied with tension and capstan position, tighten all bridle cable clamp nuts to 35-40 in-lb. 12. Use a feeler gauge to measure gaps between bridle cable clamp halves (top and bottom). Make sure gaps meet the following criteria: • Gap measurements on both sides of clamp are not less than 0.003" and not more than 0.050". If clamp gap measurements do not meet criteria above, measure diameter of control cable, and then contact Dynon Technical Support for a resolution. Out-of-specification clamps can slip under load. 13. Permanently attach capstan and cable guard to yaw servo (see Section 11.5 for instructions). 14. Permanently secure boxing plate, as shown in Figure 33. Page | 11-14 SkyView HDX - Autopilot Servo Installation & Maintenance Manual, Baron Models 58 & 58A, Rev E, 12/6/2023 15. Permanently secure bracket assembly braces, as shown in Figure 30. 16. Connect D9 cable harness connector to servo. To check the yaw servo installation: 1. Release rudder. 2. Move rudder control through full range of motion per manufacturer's maintenance instructions, and verify the following: • Control is smooth throughout (i.e., no grinding, rubbing, or roughness). • Bridle cable clamps do not contact any structures during entire travel. • Capstan never rotates more than 150 degrees in either direction from neutral. 3. Cycle the control several times, return it to neutral, and verify the following: • Position of bridle cable clamps closely matches Figure 43. • Capstan orientation mark is positioned as shown in Figure 43. • Bridle cable tension has not changed. After all Autopilot servos have been serviced, perform servo calibration procedure (see Section 11.2: Servo Calibration Procedure for instructions).
