Task Instructions
1. Remove the Aft Bulkhead Baggage Panel. (Removal and Installation of Inspection Panels and Fairings)
2. Jack the aircraft using the built-in jack points. (796 Empty Weight and CG Measurement While on Jackpoint Scales)
3. Check for mechanical attachment.
a. Vibrate the entire main landing gear by grabbing the gear from the exterior and applying an alternating force.
b. From the interior of the aircraft, again, vibrate the control system by rotating the bell crank clockwise and counter-clockwise. The components should be rigid.
4. Ensure the mechanical fasteners have not been broken or tampered with.
5. Confirm that all circlips are still correctly installed, refer to illustration.
6. Verify that attachment hardware for the landing gear trunnions is correctly installed, refer to the illustration for the location of trunnion attachment hardware.
7. Inspect both legs of the main landing gear for any hairline fractures.
8. Inspect both main landing gear boots for wear or tears. Check the bonded joints between boot and leg and between boot and Seawings™. Use care to thoroughly inspect along the entire circumference of each joint. Any areas where the bonded flanges of the boot can be easily lifted by hand should be corrected.

9. With the inspector viewing the main landing gear control system located behind the aft baggage panel, actuate the landing gear and verify that actuator and gear components travel smoothly with no binding or stuttering.
10. Extend gear, bring aircraft back to ground, and remove jacks.
