Box 346 Challis, ID 83226 208-879-6637 mfm@custertel.net SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Textron aircraft modified in accordance with the applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4) include the removal of the factory eyelet style tail tie-down and the installation of a replacement tail tie-down structure as shown below. The tail tie-down replacement eliminates the single point attachment associated with the factory tie-down and utilizes multiple attachment points at the two most rearward bulkheads. The tail tie-down replacement utilizes the large hole shown and labeled in Figure 3-1 as the tie-down location. Figure 3-1, Replacement Tail Tie-Down Installation SPECIAL OPERATING INFORMATION Refer to the applicable aircraft Pilot’s Operating Handbook for any special operating instructions and all aircraft operating limitations. No operating limitations were affected by this modification. 16-020-MT2901, Rev. 3 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness Tail Tie-Down Replacement 5 Approved Model List STC SERVICE INFORMATION ▪ Installation and Removal: Refer to the applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4) ▪ Parts: Refer to the applicable Modification Instructions section 1.4 (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4) TROUBLESHOOTING For trouble shooting of the replacement tail tie-down installation, refer to the applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 and 1.1.4).

Figure 8-1, “ TIE DOWN HERE” Placard DATA All information to support the continued airworthiness of this modification is contained in: ▪ the MDL (reference 1.1.2). ▪ the applicable service information defined in Section 5, above. 16-020-MT2901, Rev. 3 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness Tail Tie-Down Replacement 6 Approved Model List STC INSPECTIONS The following inspections, tests, and/or procedures must be included in the basic maintenance plan for the applicable aircraft modified in accordance with the Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 and 1.1.4) to ensure continued airworthiness of the aircraft. NOTE: For all cases in which the instructions in this document and the Aircraft Maintenance Manual are in conflict, the most restrictive instructions take precedence. NOTE: The time limits and maintenance checks recorded in this section are for the minimum requirements for airplanes operated under normal conditions. For airplanes that operate in areas of bad conditions, such as high salt coastal environments, areas of high heat and humidity, areas where industrial or other airborne pollutants are present, extreme cold, unimproved surfaces, etc., the time limits shall be changed as necessary. Inspection Requirements 10.1.1 Three basic types of inspections are available as defined below: 10.1.2 As required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.409(a), all civil airplanes of U.S. registry must have a complete examination each 12 calendar months. In addition to the required annual inspection, airplanes operated commercially (for hire) must also have an inspection each 100 hours of operation as required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.409(b). 10.1.3 Instead of the above requirements, an airplane can be examined with progressive inspection program that agrees with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.409(d), which allows the work be divided into smaller operations that can be accomplished in a shorter time period. 10.1.4 If an airplane is being operated under a Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 Certificate, the operator may choose to use an Approved Aircraft Inspection Program. Inspection Notes 10.2.1 When specified inspections in this section are accomplished, a general visual inspection of the adjacent areas must also be accomplished while access is available. These general visual inspections may reveal conditions which require additional maintenance activity. 10.2.2 Inspection items are provided for specified components and systems. The inspection program must incorporate professionalism and good judgment by all inspection personnel. The technician must ensure all components and systems are in good condition and maintained to the highest standards of safety. 16-020-MT2901, Rev. 3 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness Tail Tie-Down Replacement 7 Approved Model List STC Annual and/or 100 Hour Inspections 10.3.1 At each annual and/or 100-hour inspection check the tail tie-down installation for: • Loose hardware o If loose, tighten in accordance with the modification instructions (reference 1.1.3 and 1.1.4). • Missing hardware o If missing, replace in accordance with the modification instructions (reference 1.1.3 and 1.1.4). • Legibility of placard as defined in section 8, above. o If placard is damaged, repair in accordance with section 8. • Sealant (optional) o If sealant is damaged and/or no longer forming a complete seal around the perimeter of the tie-down, remove damaged sealant, clean affected area, and reapply sealant in accordance with applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4). o If sealant was not applied at installation, it may be applied at any time in accordance with applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4). • Tie-Down Reinforcement assembly (optional) o The Tie-Down Reinforcement assembly is an optional assembly and may be installed, removed, or replaced in accordance with applicable Modification Instructions (reference 1.1.3 or 1.1.4). 16-020-MT2901, Rev. 3 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness Tail Tie-Down Replacement 8 Approved Model List STC RECOMMENDED OVERHAUL PERIODS Not applicable to this modification. AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS The Airworthiness Limitations Section is FAA approved and specifies maintenance required under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 43.16 and 91.403 unless an alternative program has been FAA approved. There are no changes to the Airworthiness Limitations Section as a result of this modification.
