This ICA contains three sections: 1. Hinge Halves, 2. Hinge Pins. 3. Hinge Assemblies. Refer to the section most applicable to the parts being replaced. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Cessna model 150 Series, 180 Series and 200 Series aircraft each have one to two cabin doors, with some models being equipped with dual cargo doors and others being equipped with a single baggage door. Each of these doors is attached to the fuselage with two hinge assemblies (hinges). The hinges consist of two hinge halves and a hinge pin. One hinge half is attached to the fuselage with threaded fasteners, and the other hinge half is attached to the door with rivets. Removing the doors to facilitate maintenance or other activities requires removal of the aforementioned threaded fasteners or removing the hinge pins. The original Cessna cabin door hinges were primarily assembled with a non-reusable hinge pin that can only be removed by destructive means, while the cargo door hinges use a reusable clevis pin that was secured with a cotter pin. In all instances McFarlane has utilized the reusable clevis pin design. REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Instructions for Continued Airworthiness McFarlane Aviation, LLC.

Current version can be found at: www.McFarlaneAviation.com/ICA Page 4 of 7 McFarlane Drawing: 1170 Rev A HINGE HALVES – SPECIAL OPERATING INFORMATION The control and operation of the cabin door does not change with the installation of the McFarlane cabin door hinge halves; see applicable Cessna model 150 Series, 180 Series or 200 series Service Manual for the operational control of this system. HINGE HALVES – PART REMOVAL, REPLACEMENT, AND SERVICE INFORMATION Note: For best results, McFarlane recommends replacing the forward and aft hinge halves and replacing both the upper and the lower hinges simultaneously. Hinge half removal and replacement: 1. There may be a film of paint connecting the hinge half to the door and/or fuselage. If it is present, score the paint with a sharp razor blade or utility knife. 2. Disconnect door stops and other non-hinge connections to the fuselage. Remove interior trim as needed to access to the hinge half fasteners. 3. Remove the old hinge pin(s) per the applicable Cessna model 150 Series, 180 Series or 200 Series Service Manual. If replacing an aft hinge half, remove the door from the aircraft. 4. Door Mounted Hinge Half Removal: Remove the rivets fastening the hinge half to the door, taking care not to damage the door or rivet holes. Remove the hinge half from the door. Note: Some rivet removal techniques can be found in FAA Advisory Circular 65-15A, page 177. This document can be downloaded from: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/23018 5. Fuselage Mounted Hinge Half Removal: Remove the hinge half from the fuselage by removing the threaded fasteners. 6. As needed, perform surface cleaning, corrosion repair, and paint preparation of the door & fuselage skins prior to installing the replacement hinge half. 7. Door Mounted Hinge Half Installation: Prior to riveting, temporarily install the hinge half with Cleco type fasteners to facilitate door and hinge alignment and checking for proper function. Once alignment and function are appropriate, install the McFarlane hinge half onto the door with appropriate rivets. a. Note: The MC0413426-33 & MC0413426-34 door hinges must be match drilled for the rivet holes through the door’s flange. Mark their locations on the back/inner face but drill them perpendicular to the front/outer face so that the rivet heads lie flat against the front/outer face. These two part numbers are provided with plain fastener holes; they must be countersunk if the installer desires to use countersunk rivets. 8. Fuselage Mounted Hinge Half Installation: Install the McFarlane hinge half onto the fuselage with appropriate threaded fasteners, tightening fully after the door and hinge alignment and function are appropriate. Note: McFarlane Aviation recommends replacing the threaded fasteners with new parts at this time. 9. Lubricate the pin joint with a solid film lubricant (as specified for piano-style hinges in the applicable Cessna 150 Series, 180 Series or 200 Series Service Manuals) or with a light coating of oil. 10. Reinstall the door by installing the McFarlane hinge pins per the instructions in Section 2 of this document or by installing NEW Cessna pins. Note: Not every Cessna pin is reusable, if hinge contains a peened/swaged pin it must be replaced every time a Cessna pin is removed. 11. McFarlane provides the hinge halves with a corrosion preventing coating. For complete corrosion protection, the hinges MUST be painted with an appropriate aircraft grade exterior paint per applicable aircraft maintenance manual. The McFarlane hinge pins do not require painting. 12. Reconnect door stops and other non-hinge connections to the fuselage. Reinstall interior trim. When replacing a hinge half with an undrilled part, the installer must locate, mark, and drill the fastener holes. The above instructions apply for the following: 1. The hole pattern must be marked on the undrilled part. Some suggestions for performing this are: • After removing the old hinge half, use it to create a drill template. OR • Only remove the hinge half to be replaced, maintaining the door’s location and alignment within the door opening. Attach the undrilled half with a McFarlane reusable pin. Using a strap duplicator or accessing the holes from the back side, mark the hole drill centers on the undrilled part. 2. Drill the fastener holes through the part, maintaining perpendicularity between the bit and the part while drilling. 3. Before installing the hinge half, treat the edges of the drilled holes with primer to help prevent corrosion. No exceptions to Cessna instructions, specific to the McFarlane hinge halves, apply. The McFarlane hinge halves install using the same methods and hardware. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness McFarlane Aviation, LLC.
