Service bulletins to verify

SB 55-004 requires a check of the horizontal stabilizer rear attachment bolts at the 12 Months Inspection. Bolts with incorrect heat treatment are replaced (1.5 man-hours). SB 32-029 Rev 1 requires inspection of the nose-wheel fork assembly for corrosion on the cylinder pipe. Repair takes 5.0 man-hours and replacement 7.0. Ask for logbook entries showing both were done.

Propeller and brake modifications

Hartzell HC-E5A-3A/NC10245B five-blade composite propellers are approved on the PC-12 under STC SA03466CH. They have their own de-ice and lightning-strike inspection requirements. An Aircraft Wheel and Brake conversion kit (part 199-241) lists PC-12/47 among its series. Confirm which wheel and brake and propeller are fitted and that the paperwork matches.

Avionics and electrical options

The Mid-Continent and True Blue Power catalog lists TA202 Series high power USB chargers as standard equipment for the Pilatus PC-12. It also lists STC-approved TB40 and TB44 lithium-ion batteries, a TS835 emergency battery power supply, an MD302 SAM standby attitude module and an MD23 digital ACU. Check which are installed.

Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.

Safety notes

  • With the Hartzell composite propeller, never heat the de-ice boots for more than 10 seconds on the ground. Wait 2 minutes between tests.
  • SB 55-004: bolts without correct heat treatment have reduced material properties and could fail from fatigue.
  • SB 32-029: exposed raw material and corrosion on the nose gear cylinder pipe are visible without disassembling the gear.
