1 GENERAL
This section is intended to serve as a guide for a mechanic to perform routine maintenance on
the aircraft. It is the responsibility of the owner and/or the operator to maintain the aircraft in an
airworthy condition and ensure that all applicable Safety Directives, Safety Alerts, and Service
Bulletins have been complied with. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the owner and/or the
operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected as specified in Parts 43 and 91 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations.
This guide will make reference to service information provided by other vendors, such as the
manufacturer of the engine. The persons performing the maintenance on the aircraft must
ensure that they have the latest editions of these publications. This guide will not make
reference to revision levels of vendor publications.
This template may not cover custom modifications made to the aircraft.
A. VISUAL INSPECTION
Visual inspections will normally apply to those areas, surfaces, and/or items that become visible
by the removal or opening of access doors, panels, fairings, or cowlings.
Visual Inspection criteria will normally consist of, but are not limited to the following criteria:
§ Moving Parts: Proper operation, correct alignment, security, sealing, cleanliness,
lubrication, adjustment, tension, travel, condition, binding, excessive wear, cracking,
corrosion, deformation, and any other apparent damage.
§ Fabric Covered Parts: Security, condition, cleanliness, wear, cracking, obstruction of
drainage or vent holes, deformation, heat deterioration, fluid saturation, and any other
apparent damage.
§ Metal Parts: Security, condition of finish, cleanliness, distortion, fatigue cracks, cracked
welds, corrosion, and any other apparent damage.
§ Fuel and Hydraulic Oil Lines and Hoses: Cracks, dents, kinks, loss of flexibility,
deterioration, obstruction, chaffing, improper bend radius, cleanliness, security, and any
other apparent damage.
§ Electrical Wiring: Cleanliness, loose, corroded, or broken terminals, chaffed, broken, or
worn insulation, security, heat deterioration, and any other apparent damage.
§ Bolts and Nuts: Fretting, wear, damage, stretch, proper torque and safety wiring.
§ Filters and Screens: Filters and screens shall be removed, cleaned, inspected for
contamination, or replaced as applicable.
§ Fuel Tank Areas: Evidence of leaks.
Inspection forms in Appendix A may be used as a guide to perform the visual inspections.
B. OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
An operational inspection is a check intended to determine that a component or system is
fulfilling its intended purpose. The operational inspection does not require quantitative
tolerances.
05-00
Page: 6
C. FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION
When called for by an inspection task, a functional inspection is a quantitative check to
determine if one or more functions of a component perform within specified limits. The functional
inspection is a comparative examination of a component or system against a specific standard.
NOTE
The operational and functional checks involve operating the engine and taxiing the aircraft.
Therefore, whoever performs this check must be familiar with the aircraft, its systems, and the
risks and dangers of operating an aircraft on the ground. Attention is drawn to the fact that
this aircraft has a tail wheel configuration and its behavior during taxiing is different from an
aircraft with a nose gear. The operator must be familiar with taxiing a tailwheel aircraft before
attempting to perform these checks.

2 WEIGHING
A. GENERAL
This section describes the methods for determining the empty weight of the aircraft and the
position of its center of gravity relative to the datum.
Weight and balance limits are placed on aircraft for two reasons:
§ First, the structure was designed to carry a certain weight;
§ Second, the operating weight of the aircraft and the position of the center of gravity
affect performance, stability, and control characteristics, particularly in stall and spin
recovery.
The aircraft will only attain the performance and exhibit the handling characteristics if it is flown
when the weight and the center of gravity are within the approved range.
Have a set of calibrated weighing scales available. The capacity should be 1,000 lbs. for each
main and 250 lbs. for the tail. Zero the scales or record the tare, as appropriate.
B. PREPARATION
(a) Clean the aircraft to remove excess dirt and grease.
(b) Remove the fuel from the aircraft. This may be accomplished by opening the fuel
drains until all remaining fuel is drained.
• Standard range fuel tanks should retain one gallon unusable fuel total.
• Extended range fuel tanks should retain five gallons unusable fuel total.
(c) Check that the oil is full.
(d) Position the pilot’s seat in the middle position.

portion of the passenger rudder pedals. To engage, press both brake pedals and
turn the brake valve on each pedal to the horizontal position.
(c) Chock the main gear wheels.
(d) In gusty or stormy weather, moor the airplane.
(e) When the aircraft is to be parked for an extended time, it should be moved
periodically to prevent corrosion in the wheel bearings and flat spots on the tires.
B. MOORING
(a) Position the airplane on level surface, headed into the wind.
(b) Set the parking brakes. The parking brake valves are located on the forward
portion of the passenger rudder pedals. To engage, press both brake pedals and
turn the brake valve on each pedal to the horizontal position.
(c) A good practice is to position the propeller in an angled or horizontal position.
(d) Chock the main gear wheels.
(e) There is a tie-down ring underneath each wing next to the forward lift strut (refer
to Figure 1). The tail should be tied down by wrapping straps/rope/chains at least
once around the tail wheel head (refer to Figure 2). In severe weather, use
multiple lines. During gusty or high wind conditions, lines may require periodic
tightening to prevent excessive movement of airplane. Use a safety knot (such as
a bowline knot) to ensure security.

This information gives the general servicing procedures and maintenance practices that are to
be used when servicing the airplane. For additional detailed information concerning unit
servicing of the various airplane systems and components, refer to the applicable chapters.
The intervals specified are considered adequate to meet average requirements under normal
operating conditions. However, it is advisable to shorten the service and maintenance intervals
when operating under abnormal environmental conditions, such as high humidity and moisture,
salt water environments, dusty atmospheric conditions, extreme temperature ranges,
unimproved airport facilities, or other unusual operating requirements. In salt water areas,
special care should be taken to keep the engine, accessories, and airframe clean to help
prevent oxidation.
CAUTION
The operation of the airplane can be seriously impaired if unapproved or
contaminated fuel, oil, fluids, lubricants or materials are used. Adherence to
instructions, cautions, and warnings can avoid injury to personnel and damage
to the airplane or associated equipment.
Mixing of various brands, types, and weights of materials should be avoided. Specified
lubricants will meet requirements for extreme hot or cold temperature operations. Use of
substitutes or other lubricants may cause a malfunction when operating in extreme temperature
conditions, or may cause excessive wear due to improper lubrication.

1 GENERAL
This chapter gives the requirements for torquing fasteners. No lubricating or anti-seize
compounds are to be applied to threaded fasteners except where specified. At the time of
installation, the threads must be clean and free of corrosion, paint or any products other than
those applied by the fastener’s manufacturer.
2 DEFINITIONS
Running Torque: The average torque developed after the fastener is at least one full thread
through the nut, but prior to the tightening of the joint (also called self-locking torque, locking
torque, friction drag torque).
Assembly Torque: The torque required by design engineering in order to create the desired
axial load on the bolt/nut assembly (also called tightening torque or installation torque).
3 TORQUING REQUIREMENT
Whenever possible, the nut shall be turned during torquing. Where it is necessary to tighten the
fastener assembly from the head, the installation torque shall be the maximum torque indicated
+ 10 percent.
NOTE
This is only applicable for fasteners greater than 3/16” in diameter.
When nuts are to be secured to fasteners by means of cotter pins or lock wire, the low side of
the specified torque range shall be approached for tightening. If necessary, tightening shall be
continued until the next slot aligns with the hole.
Nuts shall not be loosened to obtain the required alignment. The maximum torque shall not be
exceeded.
Threaded fasteners which have been torqued above the maximum value specified shall not be
backed off and re-torqued but shall be removed, rejected and rendered unserviceable.
If there is any doubt a fastener has been under-torqued, the nut shall be backed off one
complete rotation (360°) maximum and retightened to the specified value; the bolt, screw or stud
must not be allowed to rotate.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1 GENERAL
The flight controls consist of ailerons, rudder, elevators, and flaps. The aircraft has conventional
ailerons that are operated with a control stick and actuated with cables. The flap and aileron
control surfaces have an aluminium structure and are covered with aluminium sheet. The rudder
and elevator control surfaces have a steel tube structure and are covered with fabric. The
rudder is operated with two rudder pedals on the floor just aft of the firewall. If equipped, the
passenger’s control stick and rudder pedals are interconnected with the pilot’s.
The flaps are operated mechanically by moving a lever located in the upper, left-hand side of
the cockpit ahead of the pilot. The flaps are slotted and have four detent positions: retracted,
first notch, second notch, and full flaps. The flap lever has a spring latch system that holds the
flap in the selected position. To extend the flaps, depress the trigger and then move the lever
down. To retract them, depress the trigger while simultaneously applying a slight back pressure.
Smoothly move the handle forward and release the trigger.
The aircraft is trimmed in flight by changing the stabilizer’s angle of incidence. The pitch trim is
controlled by an electric servo, which moves the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer up or
down. The servo is actuated with a rocker switch located on the front control stick. Some aircraft
are also equipped with an aft control stick rocker switch. If equipped with rear seat trim, there
will be a selector switch (with center off) for the trim switch in the upper left wing root.
The control surfaces of the aircraft must be rigged within the prescribed limits in order to
maintain adequate margins of safety. This chapter specifies the procedures that must be used
to rig the flight control surfaces.

E. GAP SEALS
(1) PREPARATION
(a) Carefully clean the gap between the horizontal stabilizer and elevators and the
fin and rudder with soap and water to remove any grease or grit. If a solvent is
used, ensure it is approved for the type of finish on the aircraft.
(b) Cut two strips of seal 39½ inches long. These will be used for the inboard portion
of the elevators. Cut two strips 11 ½ inches long. These will be used of the
outboard portion of the elevators.
(c) Cut one strip of seal 33 inches long if no navigation light wire is present or cut
one strip of seal 27 ⅝ inches long if the navigation light wire is present. A 6 ½
inch long piece may be installed below the navigation light wire to prevent the
upper piece from slipping down over time. Cut a 5 ½ inch piece for above the
upper rudder hinge.
NOTE
Cut lengths are longer than necessary to account for shrinkage of gap seal material.
(2) INSTALLATION
(a) Press the long elevator seals into the gap between the hinges (see Figure 11).
Either flat edge may be on top. Make sure that the seals are evenly spaced
between the hinges. Rubbing alcohol may be used to ease installation.
(b) Ensure each gap seal butts against each hinge. Inspect both the top and the
bottom to ensure the gap seal is flat and the lip is not folded in at any point.
(c) Carefully press the short elevator seals between the hinge and the elevator
horn. Either flat edge may be on top.
(d) Be especially careful to ensure that the seals do not impede the travel of the
elevator throughout its range of travel.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The fuel system has a sump and drain located in the bottom right side of the fuselage aft of the
door opening. Some aircraft have an additional sump and drain located on the bottom left side
of the aircraft just aft of the firewall. These should be drained before each flight to test for water
and sediment in the fuel system.
The fuel system is as follows:
§ CCK/CCX-1865: The fuel system is a gravity flow system with no separate boost pump.
Fuel drains from the wing tanks through a selector valve and fuel strainer to the
carburetor.
§ CCK/CCX-2000: Fuel is stored in two fuel tanks located in the wing. Fuel flows from
these tanks to a fuel selector valve which allows the pilot to turn the fuel on and off and
select which tank to draw fuel from. From the fuel selector valve the fuel flows through a
gascolator, a fuel filter, an electric fuel pump, a mechanical fuel pump, a pressure
transducer, and through a fuel metering device (servo). The fuel metering device
provides the appropriate amount of fuel for the air quantity flowing into the engine. From
the fuel metering device, the fuel flows through a fuel flow transducer and then onto the
individual engine cylinders.
Fuel may flow from one tank to the other when the selector is in either the OFF or the BOTH
position. When parking the aircraft on a slope, leave the selector on either the left or the right
position to prevent cross feeding and possibly overfilling the lower of the two tanks.
CCK/CCX-1865 is equipped with an engine fuel primer system that may be used to start the
engine, especially in cold conditions. The fuel primer draws fuel from the strainer by means of a
hand-operated pump on the instrument panel and injects it into cylinder #3 for starting.
The fuel flows from the tanks into a selector valve that has four positions and is located on the
lower, left side of the cockpit:
§ Both - The engine is fed by both fuel tanks
§ Left - Fuel is supplied by the left tank
§ Right - Fuel is supplied by the right tank
§ Off - Fuel supply to the engine is cut off
The engine may be operated in the Both, Left, or Right positions. However, the Both position is
required for takeoff and landing.
Fuel quantity is determined with two sight gauges located on either side of the cockpit at the
wing root. The ventilation of the tanks is through tubes located on each of the fuel tank caps.
The vented caps must face forward.
Prior to refueling the aircraft, connect the fueling equipment’s grounding wire to either of the
wing tie downs or the engine exhaust pipe. This will ensure there is no electrical potential
difference between the aircraft and the fueling equipment and will minimize the risk of electrical
sparks when the aircraft is being refueled.

A. DRAINING FUEL
The aircraft may have three fuel drains, one on the right underside of the fuselage, one on the
fuel strainer, located on the engine firewall, and one on the bottom left side of the fuselage, just
aft of the firewall on the boot cowl.
CAUTION
Observe all precautions related to fueling and de-fueling the aircraft. In particular,
the following are highlighted:
§ Connect grounding wire to one of the wing tie-downs and ground the aircraft
to an earth ground.
§ Do not operate any electrical equipment during the de-fueling operation.
§ Operation of any electrical switch during the fueling operation is prohibited.
§ Do not allow smoking or open flames within 100 feet of the aircraft or fuel
servicing vehicle.
§ Do not operate radios, electrical systems, or electronic equipment during the
fueling or de-fueling operations.
§ Do not drain fuel tanks within 100 feet of any electrical equipment capable of
producing sparks.
§ Have a suitable fire extinguisher available at all times.
(a) If your aircraft does not have the additional drain, jack the tail of the aircraft to flight
level attitude (Chapter 7 and 8).
(b) Open the fuel strainer drain valve(s) and allow fuel to drain into container.
(c) If the fuel has been drained and the aircraft has then been re-fueled, the engine must
be run on the ground for enough time to purge the system of air prior to flight.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
4 MAIN WHEELS
The main wheels are of aluminum construction and are designed to be used with tires and tubes.
Each main wheel is provided with a set of single disc brakes. The left and right systems are
independent of each other. There is a valve at the front of each rudder pedal that operates the
parking brake. The units form an integral part with the copilot’s rudder brakes. To operate the
parking brake, press the upper section of both rudder pedals and toggle the valve (vertical is
open, horizontal is locked). The master cylinders push hydraulic fluid to the calipers where two
pistons are displaced and force the brake pads against a disc. Each main wheel utilizes a
hydraulic caliper, secured by a backing plate.
The tailwheel swivels through 360 degrees and is steerable via the rudder pedals. It is mounted
to the fuselage with steel spring leafs. Refer to Chapter 12 of this manual for maintenance and
servicing of the wheel and brake assemblies.

1 GENERAL
The aircraft is powered by a CC340 / CC363i (circle one) engine. This is an air-cooled, four
cylinder, direct drive, horizontally opposed piston powerplant that is capable of delivering up to
80 / 186 (circle one) HP at 2700 RPM for the maximum continuous power.
A throttle lever controls power to the engine. There is a forward and aft throttle control lever on
the left side of the cockpit. The aft throttle control lever is optional on some models. The air-to-
fuel mixture is adjusted manually with a control on the left side of the instrument panel. The
mixture control should always be used to stop the engine.
CCK/CCX-2000 models are also equipped with a forward and aft propeller control lever, near
the throttle controls.
Refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s maintenance manual for servicing, maintenance and
overhaul of the engine and/or engine components.
The engine mount is conical with the attach points orienting the engine parallel with the firewall.
The structure of the mount is made of high-strength steel and the engine is attached to the
mount through rubber mounts that help reduce vibration.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL
4 AIR INDUCTION
The induction air for the engine enters through a filter on the lower forward side of the cowling.
Attention is drawn to the fact that operation under severe dust conditions will require shorter air
filter replacement intervals. These conditions may be encountered in aircraft operating from
dusty areas.
CCK/CCX-1865 has an alternate carburetor heat control, which operates a butterfly valve that
allows heated, unfiltered air to feed into the carburetor. The carburetor heat control is located on
the instrument panel. Should the air filter become obstructed, the carburetor air control provides
an alternate manual means of supplying the engine with air for the induction system.
CAUTION
Ground operations with the carburetor heat control in the hot position must be limited
because it allows air to bypass the filter. (CCK/CCX-1865 Only)
CCK/X-2000 has an alternate air system that consists of an alternate air door behind
the air filter grate, and ducting leading to that door and to the exhaust system. The
alternate air door opens automatically whenever the primary air filter becomes
obstructed.

1 SPARK PLUGS
A. REMOVAL AND INSPECTION
Remove spark plug caps and spark plugs. Inspect the firing end of the spark plugs for any
foreign material lodged between electrodes or around the insulator that could be conductive,
clean as required.
Check the electrode gap per the manufacturer specifications and re-set if necessary. Check
connector for any abnormalities and clean if needed. Refer to the latest revision of Light Speed
Engineering, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL For PLASMA III, II+, and I CDI
SYSTEMS
B. INSTALLATION
Apply a small amount of Spark Plug Thread Lubricant to the threaded area of each spark plug at
the firing end. Install the plugs and torque to 15 ft/lb. Connect the spark plug caps.
2 ELECTRONIC IGNITION
The ignition system on the engine uses two Plasma III ignition modules (from Light Speed
Engineering) and a DC Mini Sensor system with magnets in the ring gear to provide the triggers
for timing. The cylinder firing order is 1,3,2,4.
The dual system is connected such that each system knows if the other one is operating. If one
of the two systems is turned off or has failed, the remaining system will automatically shift its
timing curve to provide optimum engine performance with one system. This eliminates the
common power loss when one magneto is turned off. The wide operating voltage range, from
5v-35v allows hand starting long after the electric starter has stopped due to a low battery. Refer
to Chapter 24 for Ignition Backup Battery information.
