Corrosion can propagate and lead to crack development. A crack in the carry-thru spar can develop to a point that the carry-thru spar can have structural failure that can result in subsequent loss of airplane control and/or wing separation. Non-compliance with this service letter may result in undetected crack(s) in the carry-thru spar, which can result in structural failure of the carry-thru spar. DESCRIPTION This service document provides instructions to do a detailed visual inspection and an eddy current inspection of the lower surface of the carry-thru spar.

Refer to www.txtavsupport.com. PUBLICATIONS AFFECTED None ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS 1. Prepare the airplane for maintenance. A. Make sure that the airplane is electrically grounded. B. Make sure that all switches are in the OFF/NORM position. C. Disconnect electrical power from the airplane. (1) Disconnect external electrical power. (2) Disconnect the airplane battery. D. Attach maintenance warning tags to the battery and external power receptacle that have "DO NOT CONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER - MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS" written on them. 2. Remove the pilot and co-pilot seats. (Refer to the applicable Model Service or Maintenance Manual.) 3. Get access to the lower surface of the carry-thru spar by removing upholstery, headliner, and installed utility or oxygen systems as necessary. (Refer to the applicable Model Service or Maintenance Manual.) 4. If installed, Remove foam from bottom of carry-thru spar as applicable. A. Clean all adhesive residue from the carry-thru spar. 5. Clean the lower surface of the carry-thru spar of grime or debris. 6. (Refer to Figure 1, Sheets 1-3.) Use a 10X magnification lens to do a detailed visual inspection of the carry-thru spar for corrosion with particular attention to the locations as follows: • Where support wires in the air duct contact the structure. • Where upholstery pads contact the spar. NOTE: A detailed visual inspection is described as an intensive visual examination of a specific structural area, system, installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate by the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, borescopes etc. may be used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures such as panel or component removal, may be necessary. A. If corrosion is found on the carry-thru spar, the area can be reworked as follows: (1) Use 180 grit or finer aluminum oxide abrasive paper, cloth or pads to carefully remove corrosion and blend that area locally around the affected region. (2) Make sure to only remove the minimum material necessary to blend the corroded surface with the surrounding surface. (3) Maintain a minimum of 20:1 blend to depth ratio. (4) Leave no sharp edges after blending. Single Engine SERVICE LETTER MANDATORY SEL-57-06 (5) Finish with a 220 grit or finer grained aluminum oxide sandpaper. (6) Use clean dry air to blow off dust. (7) Use a clean cloth wet with isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface. (8) Measure the blended area and contact Textron Aviation Structures with the dimension of blended area for evaluation. (Refer to the Carry-Thru Spar Inspection Report for contact information.) (9) Complete the eddy current inspection, go to Step 7. B. If no corrosion is found on the carry-thru spar, complete the eddy current inspection, go to Step 7. 7. (Refer to Figure 1, View A-A.) Do an eddy current inspection of the carry-thru spar as follows: (Refer to 2A-13-01, Nondestructive Inspection Methods and Requirements in the appropriate Model Service or Maintenance Manual.) A. Plan out the inspection process to cover the items listed as follows: • If the eddy current inspection is performed by qualified personnel that are not representing an FAA Certified Repair Station, an A&P Mechanic may supervise the inspection and make the appropriate logbook entry. • Technician must be Level 2 certified. • Eddy current inspection will cover the lower service of the carry-thru spar starting as far outboard on either side as reachable inside the fuselage. • Eddy current inspection will be with a 0.125-inch probe. • Technician should use an inspection approach that ensures the entire surface is inspected without gaps. • One example of a technique is to inspect small equally spaced sections, no wider than 4 inches. • Inspect one section at time and overlap each section by 0.25-inch. overlap between each section and identify when each section is complete. • Identify when each section is complete to help keep track of progress. B. Review the General Requirements and Eddy Current Inspection sections of 2A-13-01 Nondestructive Inspection Methods and Requirements. C. Calibrate the eddy current instrument - Impedance Plane. (Refer to 2A-13-01, Nondestructive Inspection Methods and Requirements, Section 2. Eddy Current Inspection.) D. Eddy current scan the surface with an 0.125-inch diameter surface pencil probe at 200 kHz. • Scan direction must be with an inboard to outboard direction. • Use of a non-metallic straight edge as a guide will help ensure there is not a fore-aft motion of the probe. • Probe one small section of only a couple of inches at a time, recommend no wider than 4-inches. • Move the probe in 0.125-inch increments. • Overlap each section by 0.25-inch. • Use of a slow controlled methodical process to make sure the entire surface is covered. (1) Start the inspection in the center of the carry-thru spar and work from inboard to outboard in small methodically controlled sections with a 0.25-inch overlap until as far outboard as reachable inside the fuselage then repeat the process for the other half of the carry-thru spar. (2) Look for a sharp response of 10-percent screen height or more may indicate corrosion or fatigue cracking or both. E. If you find one or more cracks, further flight is NOT permitted. You must replace the carry-thru spar before further flight. SEL-57-06 June 24, 2019 Page 5 SEL-57-06 Page 6 June 24, 2019 Single Engine SERVICE LETTER MANDATORY SEL-57-06 F. Provide the results of the detailed visual and eddy current inspections to Textron Aviation, Structural Repair. Use the Carry-Thru Spar Inspection Report form and pictures as applicable. Telephone number and email address are provided on the form. NOTE: The Carry-Thru Spar Inspection Report form must be sent to Textron Aviation, Structural Repair to report all conditions, cracks, corrosion, or no cracks or no corrosion. 8. If there has been rework, apply Color Chemical Film Treatment to the bare aluminum surface. 9. If there has been rework, apply Corrosion Resistant Epoxy Primer to all bare metal. 10. Apply Corrosion Inhibiting Compound (CIC) to the entire lower surface of the carry-thru spar that is accessible in the fuselage as follows: (Refer to SEL-51-01 Standard Practices - Structures - Use of Corrosion Inhibiting Compounds.) NOTE: SEL-51-01 is a resource that provides additional detailed information about the application process of CIC such as equipment, facility, cleaning, masking, and application processes. A. Mask areas around the carry-thru spar areas to prevent over spray of the CIC. B. Spray aerosol with extension tube to minimize over spray. C. Apply the CIC in one full wet coat. D. Apply CIC to the full lower surfaces of the carry-thru spar. E. Some sag/run is acceptable. A spot of significant sag/run needs to be cleaned by MPK (methyl propyl ketone) wiping and the CIC shall be reapplied. F. Wet film thickness of CIC is approximately 1 to 2 mils for Cor-Ban 23. NOTE: The coating should be tack-free after two to three hours. G. After the CIC coating is tack-free, remove the masking from around the application area. H. Let the CIC coating cure with a minimum cure temperature no less than 50 degrees F. 11. Install removed utility systems, oxygen systems, headliner and upholstery that was removed to access the carry-thru spar. (Refer to the applicable Model Service or Maintenance Manual.) 12. Install the pilot and co-pilot seats. (Refer to the applicable Model Service or Maintenance Manual.) 13. Remove the maintenance warning tags and connect the airplane battery. 14. Make an entry in the airplane logbook that states compliance and method of compliance with this service document. Single Engine SERVICE LETTER MANDATORY SEL-57-06 Figure 1.
