MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
I
The function of this Maintenance Manual is to acquaint maintenance personnel with the systems and their com
ponents of the AA1C aircraft and to direct them in the proper procedures for maintaining the aircraft in an air
worthy condition.
This manual contains information on installations made in the aircraft during manufacture and optional equipment
only. However, information derived from applicable Single Engine Aircraft Service Kits, Service Bulletins, and
Service Letters will be included in the manual as soon as possible after the issuance of these documents. Changes or
installations made by the operator are not included in this manual.
The ability of maintenance personnel is recognized, and those procedures which are considered common to all
aircraft have been either briefly referenced or omitted.
FORMAT
Hie chapter identification in this manual has been prepared in accordance with Air Transport Association (ATA)
Specification No. 100. A functional breakdown is employed whereby all data pertaining to a given system, or
component of a system, may be found in one chapter with a minimum of crossreferencing to other chapters.
The Electrical Power Chapter in this manual covers only the power sources and distribution equipment for the
electrical system. There is not a chapter in this manual specifically designated for instruments. Details of individual
branch electrical or instrument systems will be found in the applicable chapter.
IDENTIFICATION OF SUBJECT MATTER
A threedash number system is employed to identify subject matter. The first dash number identifies the chapter,
the second dash number the section, and the third dash number the component or subsection of the section. The
following example illustrates how the numbering system is used in the NAVIGATION Chapter:
, — Identifies NAVIGATION Chapter.
Identifies that section (group of related subjects) which pro
vides coverage for the Flight Environment Data portion of the
NAVIGATION Chapter.
34 —
1
— 1
Identifies a specific subject (component) of the Flight Envi
ronment Data. In this manual it is assigned to the Pitot and
Static Pressure Systems.
The dash 0 (0) is provided as a means for covering a complete system or subsystem. The chapter number followed
by a zero (340) will segregate that material covering the complete system; the chaptersection numbers followed by
a zero (3410) is used for further details covering the subsystem or component.
PAGE NUMBER IDENTIFICATION
Page number blocks are used to separate the subject matter into the following categories:
General Coverage and Unit Description
Trouble Shooting
Maintenance Practices

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Maintenance Practices include as applicable the following subtopics: Servicing, Removal/Installation, Adjust
ment/Test, Inspection/Check, Cleaning/Painting, and Approved Repairs.
If all subtopics, under Maintenance Practices are brief, they are combined into one topic. All such combined topics
are numbered within page number block 201300. Whenever individual subtopics are so lengthy that a combination
requires several pages, each subtopic is treated as an individual topic. Page number blocks for this subtopic
