NOTE: This revision replaces the original issue of SEB-34-22 in its entirety. REVISION COMPLIANCE NO EFFECT. Airplanes previously modified by SEB-34-22 are not affected by this revision. LOG OF REVISIONS Original Issue October 7, 2020 Revision 1 April 26, 2021 Original Issue - October 7, 2020 SEB-34-20 Revision 1 - April 26, 2021 Page 1 of 1 Textron Aviation Customer Service, P.O. Box 7706, Wichita, KS 67277, U.S.A. 1-316-517-5800 COPYRIGHT © 2020 Single Engine SERVICE BULLETIN MANDATORY SEB-34-20 TITLE NAVIGATION - G1000 NXI WITH ESP SOFTWARE UPDATE TO VERSION 2501.10 THAT TURNS OFF THE AUTOPILOT ENGAGEMENT AT LOW AIRSPEED EFFECTIVITY Airplanes that follow that have 2501.03 thru 2501.09 software installed. MODEL SERIAL NUMBERS 172S 172S12246 thru 172S12463 The equivalent of this service document has been incorporated on production airplanes 172S12464 and On. REASON The Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) will command a nose down pitch when the aircraft is in-air and airspeed remains below 55 KIAS for at least one second (Low Airspeed Protection). If ESP remains engaged for 10 seconds (non-consecutive) in a 20 second interval, the system will engage the Autopilot (AFCS) in LVL-LVL mode, which then enables automatic pitch trim authority. This can be unexpected when intentionally operating the airplane in some flight conditions such as during training flights with slow flight maneuvers and power off stalls, or with erroneous airspeed indications. DESCRIPTION This service document provides parts and instructions to update the software which prevents the system from engaging AFCS and automatic pitch trim resulting from an ESP Low Airspeed Protection command. Low Airspeed Protection remains enabled but will not engage the autopilot. Other ESP triggers such as exceeding pitch and roll limits will still engage the autopilot in LVL-LVL mode and remain unchanged. The procedures required to enable or disable ESP remain unchanged. COMPLIANCE MANDATORY. This service document must be accomplished at the next 100-hour or 12-month (annual-type) inspection. A service document published by Textron Aviation may be recorded as completed in an aircraft log only when the following requirements are satisfied: 1) The mechanic must complete all of the instructions in the service document, including the intent therein. 2) The mechanic must correctly use and install all applicable parts supplied with the service document kit. Only with written authorization from Textron Aviation can substitute parts or rebuilt parts be used to replace new parts. 3) The mechanic or airplane owner must use the technical data in the service document only as approved and published. 4) The mechanic or airplane owner must apply the information in the service document only to aircraft serial numbers identified in the Effectivity section of the document. 5) The mechanic or airplane owner must use maintenance practices that are identified as acceptable standard practices in the aviation industry and governmental regulations.

If ESP remains engaged for 10 seconds (non-consecutive) in a 20 second interval, the system will engage the Autopilot (AFCS) in LVL-LVL mode, which then enables automatic pitch trim authority. This can be unexpected when intentionally operating the airplane in some flight conditions such as during training flights with slow flight maneuvers and power off stalls, or with erroneous airspeed indications. COMPLIANCE MANDATORY. This service document must be accomplished at the next 100-hour or 12-month (annual-type) inspection.
