TYPE ACCEPTANCE DATA SHEET TADS 333/333A TECNAM P 2002 SIERRA AND P2002-RG SIERRA Issue 8 Revision A New format, additional manufacturer’s service bulletin. Dated 11/3/11 JV Revision B Optional MTOW increase to 600 kg on –EA variants, amended flap speeds. Corrected control deflections. Additional Standard Modifications. Dated 14/7/11 JV Section 1 - Introduction 1.1 Contact Tel: + 39 0823 622297 Email: airworthiness@tecnam.com Website: www.tecnam.com 1.2 Description The Tecnam P2002 Sierra is a low-wing aircraft of all-metal construction. It is a kit-built version of the Tecnam P2002-JF, a type-certificated factory-built aircraft, manufactured by the Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam company of Naples. The Tecnam P2002-RG Sierra, a kit built version of the P2002-JR, is identical to the P2002 model, except that it is fitted with pneumatically operated retractable undercarriage. With a maximum gross weight of 580 kg for the P2002 and 600 kg for the P2002- RG they are only eligible as SEP Aeroplanes in the UK, not as microlights. The P2002- EA may optionally be operated at a maximum gross weight of 600 kg provided this is shown on the Operating Limitations document for individual aircraft: flap speeds are also changed for this weight. The Tecnam P2002 Sierra is a cantilever low-wing aircraft of conventional configuration, seating two side-by-side in an enclosed cockpit. The airframe of the P2002 Sierra is identical to that of the P2002-JF but the P2002 Sierra substitutes various equivalent non-certified components which are not required to be certified for an amateur build aircraft, including the engine and propeller, instruments, wheels and electrical wiring. The wings, tailplane, fin and all control surfaces are of conventional riveted aluminium alloy construction. The forward fuselage structure consists of a welded steel tube truss, aluminium clad, while the rear fuselage is a riveted aluminium alloy sheet monococque. A moulded fibreglass fairing forms the rear turtledeck. The wings are of single spar construction, entirely aluminium alloy covered. The ailerons and flaps are of riveted aluminium alloy construction. The wing roots contain twin fuel tanks each of 50 litre capacity. The fuel contents are monitored using float type senders connected to gauges situated on the instrument panel. The flaps are operated using an electric ram, the position being indicated by a cable- operated mechanical gauge. The ailerons, all-flying tailplane and rudder are operated by Page 1 of 7 TYPE ACCEPTANCE DATA SHEET TADS 333/333A TECNAM P2002 SIERRA AND P2002-RG SIERRA a conventional system of cables, pulleys, bellcranks and pushrods. The all-flying tailplane is fitted with an anti-balance tab which also functions as a pitch trim tab, operated via a MAC electric servo controlled via a cockpit rocker switch. Trim position is indicated by an electric indicator. The P2002 variant is fitted with a tricycle type undercarriage, the main legs being of cantilever spring type and the steerable noseleg being a trailing link sprung by rubber bushes in compression. On the –RG variant, the undercarriage is of conventional tricycle layout with the main undercarriage mounted in the wings and the nose undercarriage mounted to an extension of the engine mounting frame structure. The main undercarriage is of trailing link design using multiple rubber bushes in compression for springing. Each main undercarriage retracts outboard into a well in the wing leading edge and has a pair of doors that cover all but the lower portion of the wheel and tyre. The nose undercarriage, which has oleo/pneumatic suspension, retracts aft into a tunnel in the fuselage and has a single door that covers the leg leaving the front portion of the tyre exposed and protruding slightly below the fuselage. A bellcrank directly linked to the rudder pedals via push-rods drives a bellcrank attached to the nose leg when it is extended to provide nose wheel steering. The undercarriage retraction/extension system is powered by compressed air driven actuators. The only engine model currently approved in the UK for use in the P2002 and P2002-RG Sierra aircraft is the Rotax 912-ULS. The standard propeller used in the P2002 is the GT-2/173/155 fixed pitch wood propeller, whereas the standard propeller for the P2002-RG is the GT-2 VEB/GT-2 V14S 177R-FW80SRTC electric in- flight adjustable propeller. Note that the only propeller(s) approved for an individual aircraft are those listed on the individual aircraft’s Operating Limitations document or in the PTL/1 (Propeller Type List) for the type. Section 2 – Mandatory information for owners, operators and inspectors 2.1 Fast Build Kit 51% Compliance The technical leaflet TL.11 shows the contents of the accepted fast build kit. 2.2 Build Manual Tecnam P2002 Build Manual. Tecnam P2002-RG supplement. 2.3 Build Inspections Build inspection schedule 41B (Tecnam P2002 aircraft). Inspector approval codes A-A, A-M, or K. Inspector signing off final inspection also requires ‘first flight’ endorsement Page 2 of 7 TYPE ACCEPTANCE DATA SHEET TADS 333/333A TECNAM P2002 SIERRA AND P2002-RG SIERRA 2.4 Flight Manual Tecnam P2002 Sierra Flight Manual equally applicable to P2002 version. Tecnam P2002-JR Flight Manual equally applicable to P2002-RG version, noting that the –RG has a pneumatically actuated landing gear retraction system rather than the hydraulic system of the –JR. 2.5 Mandatory Permit Directives None applicable specifically to this aircraft type. Also check the LAA website for MPDs that are non-type specific (TL 2.22). 2.6 LAA Required Modifications (including LAA issued AILs, SBs, etc) Several modifications are required by the LAA for acceptance of the type in the UK, as follows: MOD-333-001 Addition of seat stop bolts through seat slides to prevent excessive seat range of travel. MOD-333-002 Stainless steel firewall to be fitted, as on P2002-JF model.

MOD-333-003 Addition of steady at centre of elevator pushrod to prevent pushrod buckling under pilot effort jam case loads. Parts provided by Tecnam UK Ltd. LAA-333-004 Warning placards added adjacent to cowling latches to alert owners to correct fastening procedure, ‘ensure lever is engaged under flange before securing camloc’. LAA-333-005 Aileron control link pushrod tube at base of control column assembly reinforced by the addition of welded 4130N finger straps over bushes at each end to avoid reliance on weld in tension for integrity of control circuit. LAA-333-006 Finger strainers fitted to fuel tank outlets. LAA-333-007 Commercial marine turnbuckles in rudder cables substituted by suitable MS21251 aircraft turnbuckles as fitted to P2002-JF model. LAA-333-008 Flap travel restricted to a maximum of 33 degrees to avoid a wing drop at the stall. Flap travel restricted by adjustment of the limit stop microswitches, using a template provided by Tecnam to determine the aileron and flap neutral positions. Flap position indicator label altered to match the reduced travel. LAA-333-009 Addition of large diameter safety washers adjacent to control system rod-end bearings (except those trapped within a fork fitting) to prevent rod coming adrift if spherical bearing slips out of socket when worn. LAA-333-010 Addition of starter engaged warning light (wired in parallel with starter motor) and suitable cockpit placard adjacent to warning light on instrument panel ‘starter engaged warning light’. LAA-333-011 Addition of washers under nuts on flap and aileron hinge bolts in accordance with normal aviation practise. LAA-333-012 ASI sector markings altered to correspond with airspeeds as approved by LAA. LAA-333-013 Addition of retraction lever latch (-RG only).

With Rotax engine fitted, Rotax 912 series installation checklist to be completed (apart from flight test section) as part of final inspections prior to applying for Permit to Fly. Check flap rigging carefully for symmetry of flap deployment as this may affect lateral trim and stall characteristics. Note LAA requirement to restrict flap travel to 33 degrees which is less than the standard Tecnam figure for the P2002-JF and -JR. 3.5 Special Test Flying Issues Rotax 912 series flight test schedule with Rotax engine fitted. Special check on the wing drop at the stall, including at all flap settings, and setting up of stall strips on wing leading edges to achieve satisfactory stall characteristics per Tecnam UK instructions. Note that wheel spats act as restraint against wheel retaining nuts coming loose therefore flight without wheel spats not approved unless an alternative means of wheel nut locking is provided. Emergency undercarriage lowering system to be tested. ---------------- END ---------------
