EQUIPMENT ‘The following equipment was used to develop this procedure. Equivalent substitutes may be used for the listed equipment. Refer to Section 5-13-01, for eddy current inspection requirements, PART NUMBER QUANTITY DESCRIPTION Model 196" 1 IMPEDANCE PLANE EDDY CURRENT INSTRUMENT Staveley Instruments, Inc. 421 North Quay Kennewick, WA 99336 MP905-60 1 4/8 INCH SURFACE EDDY CURRENT PROBE 100-500 kHz NDT Engineering Corp. 19620 Russell Ra, Kent, WA 98032 HRS-11A-0/050 1 COMBINED ALUMINUM SURFACE AND BOLT HOLE EDDY CURRENT REFERENCE ‘STANDARD NDT Engineering Corp. 19620 Russell Rd. Kent, WA 98032 8. INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS ‘A. Connect the probe to the eddy current instrument and adjust the instrument frequency to 200 kHz. B. Null the probe on the surface reference standard away from the calibration notches. C. Adjust the lift-off deflection on the impedance plane instrumentation so the deflection of the lift-off ‘race is horizontal and deflects from right to left as the probe is lifted from the part surface. D. Set sensitivity by adjusting the instrument controls to obtain a signal of at least 3 major screen divisions of separation between the lift-off response and the signal from the 0,020 inch deep notch in the reference standard, 5-15-31 Page 1 © Cessna Arora Company Jan 3/2005CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY MODEL 310R MAINTENANCE MANUAL, E. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Surface eddy current inspect the rudder attach points on the rudder and the vertical stabilizer (1) Scan immediately adjacent to the holes and bearing edges, (2) Scan around fasteners common to the attach brackets. F. Cracks detected during this inspection shall be reported to Cessna Propeller Aircraft Product Suppor, along with the hole diameter, location of hole, hole edge distance, and approximate length and depth of crack on report. 5-15-31 Page 2 (© Cossna Arora Company Jan 3/2005CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY MODEL 310R MAINTENANCE MANUAL DeTaL A UPPER RUDDER HINGE HALF peta B MIDDLE RUDDER Ve HINGE HALF NOTE 1: SCAN ADJACENT TO THE HOLES AND BEARINGS.
