CESSNA 421C · Systems Description
Overview
This document is a service bulletin for the Cessna 421C Eagle II and Eagle III, detailing critical inspection and maintenance procedures for the exhaust system. It outlines the necessary intervals for visual inspections, removals, and replacements of various exhaust components to ensure safety and performance. The bulletin is intended for maintenance personnel and pilots who are responsible for the upkeep of the aircraft's exhaust system. It emphasizes the importance of regular inspections and provides specific guidelines on what to look for during these checks, particularly concerning the integrity of the exhaust components made from Inconel.
- Visual inspection of the exhaust system every 50 hours or 30 days.
- Tailpipes must be inspected for cracks and corrosion every 12 months.
- Replace multi-segment V-band clamps every 500 hours of operation.
- Remove exhaust system every 2500 hours or 12 years for inspection.
- Inconel components require careful inspection due to internal corrosion.

Inspection Intervals
The document specifies that a visual inspection of the exhaust system must be conducted every 50 hours or 30 days of operation. Additionally, tailpipes should be removed and inspected for cracks, corrosion, holes, or distortion every 12 months.
Exhaust System Maintenance
Every 12 months, the exhaust system must undergo a pressure test. Multi-segment V-band clamps should be replaced every 500 hours of operation. The entire exhaust system must be removed from slip-joints aft to all turbocharger components every 2500 hours of operation or every 12 years, whichever comes first.
Inspection of Tailpipes and Turbo Header
Tailpipes should be inspected for internal pitting and wall thickness, especially at the outside radius and support brackets. The turbo header must also be checked for internal pitting, warping, and cracks.
Material Considerations
Some exhaust components are made from Inconel, which is more challenging to inspect due to its tendency to corrode internally without visible signs. Proper cleaning of carbon buildup is necessary for effective inspection.
Parts List
The document includes a detailed parts list for the exhaust system, specifying part numbers and descriptions for various components such as stack assemblies, risers, headers, and clamps.
Safety notes
- Inspect joints for freedom of movement and distortion to prevent exhaust leaks.
- Ensure that carbon buildup is removed before inspecting Inconel components.

CESSNA 421C Eagle II & Eagle III AD 2000-01-16 Applies to all S/N's Visual inspection of exhaust system every 50 hrs or 30 days of operation. Remove/inspect tailpipes for cracks, corrosion, holes or distortion every 12 months. Inspect/pressure test exhaust system every 12 months. Replace multi-segment V-band clamps every 500 hrs Of operation. Remove exhaust system from slip-joints aft to all turbo- charger components every 2500 hrs of operation or 12 yrs whichever occurs first and send to approved repair facility. 12 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 9 13 1 Inspect tailpipes for internal pitting and wall thickness especially at the outside radius, which is the thin section, and at support bracket. Inspect joints for freedom of movement and distortion. Inspect turbo header for internal pitting, warped and or cracked flow divider and thin sections. Some of the parts for this aircraft are Inconel. Although Inconel is a far superior metal, it is more difficult to inspect. Inconel tends to corrode from the inside without showing signs of flaking or bulging like stainless steel. The carbon on the inside of the exhaust parts should be removed to properly inspect the components. If the welds are developing pinholes the component may not pass an internal inspection. Slip fit stack assemblies should be ordered in a complete assembly to ensure good joint integrity with smooth slip fitting.
