AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL SUPPLEMENT DHC-2 MK I BEAVER


This manual is a supplement to the de Havilland Maintenance Manual PSM 1-2-2 and is made necessary as a result of converting the DHC-2 to turbine power using Wipaire STC SA0118CH. Maintenance, repairs and modifications accomplished on this airframe must be compatible not only with the original airframe, but with the modifications as installed. This supplement is considered a controlled document, and thus revisions must be kept up to date and are available on our Web site at http://www.wipaire.com or by calling Wipaire at 651-286-6609. It will be noted that the modification is accomplished with the use of existing, easy to obtain parts and accessories. For example, the forward cowling is that of a Beechcraft 90 series aircraft and many of the systems are almost identical to the Cessna 208. This manual, while not a complete parts manual, does reference most of the parts necessary for maintenance and continued airworthiness…..
