ABRASIVE DUST CAN GET IN YOUR LUNGS OR ON YOUR SKIN AND CAUSE INJURY OR SKIN IRRITATION. DO NOT INHALE DUST. WHEN AUTHORIZED, MAKE THE AREA MOIST BEFORE YOU MANUALLY ABRADE TO PREVENT AIRBORNE DUST PARTICLES. MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK AREA IS FULLY VENTILATED. OBEY YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS WHEN YOU DRILL OR ABRADE PAINTS, FILLERS, OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS. OBEY YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS WHEN YOU COLLECT AND DISCARD THE DUST AND OTHER UNWANTED MATERIALS. WARNING: DO THIS PROCEDURE IN A ROOM WITH GOOD LIGHT AND GOOD VENTILATION WITH A DUST FILTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS. YOU CAN FAIL TO DETECT CRACKS IN POOR LIGHT CONDITIONS.

OBEY THE MANUFACTURER´S HEALTH AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL THE APPLICABLE LOCAL INSTRUCTIONS. CONSUMABLE MATERIALS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. A. Job Set Up (1) Remove the left and right wings (Ref. 57-00-00, Page Block 401). (2) Do this procedure at the same time as the inspection for the wing to fuselage fittings (Ref. 57-00-03, Page Block 601). (3) Do this procedure for the left and right sides of the fuselage. NOTE: The procedure below is for the left side of the fuselage. The right side of the fuselage is similar. B. Preparation and Bush Removal (Ref. Fig. 601) NOTE: The bush (1) is removed from Frame 3 during the left and right wing removal (Ref. 57-00-00, Page Block 401). CAUTION: DO NOT USE TOO MUCH HEAT TO REMOVE THE BUSH: • THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE IS 120 °C (248 °F) • THE MAXIMUM LENGTH OF TIME YOU CAN APPLY HEAT IS 15 MINUTES. TOO MUCH HEAT CAN CHANGE THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES OF THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT. (1) Use a hot air blower to apply heat to loosen the adhesive between: • The bush (2) and the surrounding structure of Frame 3 • The bushes (3) and (4) and the surrounding structure of Frame 4. EFFECTIVITY: All 53-00-01 Page 603 Oct 30/20 PC-6 MAINTENANCE MANUAL CAUTION: DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE TO REMOVE THE BUSH. YOU CAN DAMAGE THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE IF YOU USE TOO MUCH FORCE. (2) Use a press or an applicable diameter drift to remove the bushes (Ref. 20-50-01, Page Block 201): • The bush (2) from Frame 3 • The bushes (3) and (4) from Frame 4. (3) Discard the bushes (2), (3) and (4). (4) Use a non-metallic scraper, abrasive pads (Material No. P02-016) and absorbent paper

(Material No. P02-031) made moist with solvent (Material No. P01-010) to remove the remaining unwanted adhesive from the holes in Frame 3 and Frame 4. (5) Use a non-metallic scraper to remove any loose paint in the inspection areas. (6) Remove the unwanted particles from the work area. (7) Use absorbent paper (Material No. P02-031) made moist with solvent (Material No. P01- 010) to fully clean the inspection areas and surrounding structure of Frame 3 and Frame 4. Clean the parts until clean absorbent paper made moist with solvent stays clean when applied to the surface. C. Inspection (Ref. Fig. 601) (1) Visual Inspection (a) Visually examine the parts within the inspection areas of Frame 3 and Frame 4 for signs of cracks, corrosion, security of attachment and any other damage: • Do this with a magnifying glass (x10), inspection mirrors and a bright light source • Examine all forward and aft surfaces and the holes for the bushes • Examine the surrounding structure of Frame 3 and Frame 4 • Examine all fasteners, attaching parts and rivets • Damage must be removed if possible or the part must be replaced. Contact Pilatus Aircraft Ltd for repair instructions. (b) Measure the diameter of holes in the Frames for the bushes (1), (2), (3) and (4). Make sure that the holes are: • Less than or equal to diameter 30,042 mm (1.1828 in) in Frame 3 • Less than or equal to diameter 22,061 mm (0.8685 in) in Frame 4. When the holes are outside of the limits, contact Pilatus Aircraft Ltd for additional repair instructions.

(b) Do the eddy current inspection for cracks and corrosion (Ref. SRM 51-00-09, Page Block 1): • Examine the holes for the bushes (1), (2), (3) and (4) and an area of surrounding structure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the holes in all forward and aft surfaces of Frame 3 and Frame 4. • No crack indications are allowed within these areas. When you find crack indications, the part must be replaced. Contact Pilatus Aircraft Ltd for repair instructions. • Corrosion must be removed if possible or the part must be replaced. Contact Pilatus Aircraft Ltd for repair instructions. (c) Apply CCC solution (Material No. P07-001) on all bare aluminum surfaces (Ref. 20-40-10, Page Block 201). (d) Apply primer (Material No. P07-007) and the applicable paint to the bare metal surfaces of the parts. Do not apply the primer or paint to the surface of the holes where you install the new bushes. D. Install the New Bushes (Ref. Fig. 601) NOTE: The bush (1) is installed into Frame 3 during the left and right wing installation (Ref. 57-00-00, Page Block 401). (1) Use the abrasive pads (Material No. P02-016) to lightly roughen the bonding surfaces of the new bushes (2), (3) and (4) and the holes. (2) Use absorbent paper (Material No. P02-031) made moist with the solvent (Material No. P01-010) and clean the bonding surface of the new bushes (2), (3) and (4) and the holes. (3) Put the bushes (2), (3) and (4) in position in the holes to make sure they can be installed easily, then remove the bushes (2), (3) and (4).
