General This aircraft is equipped with an Airglas PA32-206LA Nose Fork. This Nose Fork replaces the previous Nose Fork and allows an 8.50-6 tire to be used (other size tires are acceptable). The Nose Fork is made out of 4130 chromoly steel that is heat treated. The tire inflation pressure is unchanged from the manufacturer's recommendations. SECTION II. Limitations 1. 2. Nose wheel tire - A tire clearance of at least 1/2 inch from the four (4) bolts on the Nose Fork is required. Tire size on the main gear: The main gear tires must be the same size as the nose gear tire (8.50-6 maximum). SECTION III. Emergency Procedures No Change SECTION IV. Normal Procedures 1. PREFLIGHT INSPECTION A. Nose Fork wheel & tire attaching hardware -- Secure B. Nose Fork block attaching hardware -- Secure C. Nose Fork tire -- Proper Inflation FAA Approved DATE: JUN 5 5 2006 Page 3 of 5 Airglas, Inc. 3500 O'Malley Rd Anchorage, AK 99516 Airglas, Inc.

Landing: The Nose Fork and 8.50-6 tire increase the length of the nose gear by approximately 4". Pilots should ensure that all landings are accomplished in a nose high attitude similar to the soft field approach attitude. CAUTION During landing there is an increased possibility of wheelbarrowing or porpoising during landing. Pilots should ensure that all landings are accomplished in a nose high attitude similar to the soft field approach attitude. SECTION V. Performance Information 1. Cruise: Cruise speeds are reduced up to 8 mph True Airspeed due to the increased size of the 8.50-6 tires. Pilots should reduce maximum range data by 5%. SECTION VI. Weight and Balance/Equipment List 1. Aircraft weight and balance records and equipment list have been updated to reflect this installation. SECTION VII. Systems Descriptions This airplane is equipped with an Airglas, Inc., PA32-206LA Nose Fork Assembly. The tire inflation pressure is unchanged from the manufacturer's recommendations. The tire and wheel are unchanged and wear indications should follow that specific manufacturer's recommendations.

Registration Number_ Aircraft Model WHEEL REMOVAL, LANDES NOSE FORK Weight or tie down tail of aircraft to raise nose wheel off of the ground. Remove axle rod (Part No. PA32-206L-4) using Airglas drawing PA32-206LA as a reference. Use a rod or long punch inserted through one bucket (Part No. PA32-206L-6) to tap the opposite bucket out of the axle. Remove both buckets and pull nose wheel from fork. NOTE If speed fairing is installed, it may be necessary to loosen the wheel scraper to remove the wheel. WHEEL INSTALLATION, LANDES NOSE FORK 1. Install nose wheel in fork and install the two buckets (Part No. PA32-206L-6) using Airglas drawing PA32-206LA as a reference. 2. 3. Install axle rod (Part No. PA32-206L-4) using Airglas drawing PA32-206LA as a reference. Tighten axle rod (Part No. PA32-206L-4) until a slight bearing drag is obvious when the wheel is turned. Back off 1/4 turn so that wheel turns freely. WEIGHT AND BALANCE/EQUIPMENT LIST 1.

Remove lower nose strut using procedures outlined in the appropriate Cessna Maintenance Manual for that model of aircraft. 2. Remove torque link fitting bolt and fork bolt as required. Note: Heavy duty and late model combine fork and link fitting. (See special instruction #1.) 3. Drive fork and link from lower strut tube using hydraulic press. Do not push on base plug, press on tube periphery only. 4. Heat Landes Block with electric heat gun or oven to a maximum of 200° Fahrenheit. 5. Mark strut tube holes with magic marker lines extending upward approximately 2". This will aid in aligning block bolt holes with the holes in strut tube. Some models have a 3/8" hole. (See special instruction #2.) 6. After block temperature has stabilized, quickly slide block onto tube. (Hydraulic press will often be needed to accomplish this operation.) Use magic marker guides to help align the bolt holes. Drive a 5/16" bullet through hole to ensure final alignment while still hot. 7. Assemble strut with new seals using appropriate Cessna Maintenance Manual for the particular aircraft model. Page 3 of 3 Airglas, Inc.

On Standard nose struts the lower hole must be removed by cutting approximately 1" off of the lower portion of the tube. Alternately the tube may be replaced with a heavy duty model. #2. Some models use a 3/8" hole in the block and tube combined with a bushing. The bushing must be cut and ground to ride flush with the outside diameter of the strut tube. This installation requires the disassembly of the block and tube to replace o-ring seal on base plug.
