1. General
This section contains requirements for special inspections. Also included is a list of special tools
required to perform the scheduled inspections. If any part of the installation appears to be
functioning improperly, consult the troubleshooting guide. If a major component is damaged or
continues to malfunction, the component in question should be returned to the manufacturer
for replacement.
2. Special Inspection Program
Conditions may arise from incidents or accidents that may warrant additional inspection
requirements. A Special Inspection is required if the aircraft is involved in a hard landing or is
subjected to total immersion in water. If either of these conditions occurs, the G500H
Installation must be inspected using the same procedures called out in the Annual Inspection
Procedures in Table 5-02.
The G500H Installation has a Post-Lightning Strike Inspection that must be performed in the
event of a suspected or actual lightning strike to the aircraft. The Post-Lightning Strike
Inspection requirements are specified in Table 5-05.
3. Tools and Special Tools for Special Inspections
Although not necessarily considered special tools, the adjustable ball swivel mirror and bright
flashlight and / or drop light are standard requirements for doing inspections. These items
should be used freely and frequently to enhance inspection quality and help ensure
discrepancies are not missed. It is important to have adequate lighting for all phases of the
inspection
.
The special tools necessary for the G500H inspection are listed as follows:
a) Milliohm meter (for electrical bonding testing).
