05-21 Maintenance Check Flight
The maintenance check flight is intended to check whether the
aircraft can be released for service. Reasons for performing a
maintenance check flight can be different. Examples include restoring
to operation after the aircraft has been stored for a long period, with
yearly maintenance, or aircraft modifications. The maintenance check
flight should be performed by a pilot who has sufficient experience
with general aviation aircraft and is sufficiently familiarized with the
type. Prior to starting the maintenance check flight the ground tests
have to be completed satisfactorily and the aircraft has to be released
by authorized personnel for the maintenance check flight. The pilot
should read the relevant chapters in the airplane flight manual prior
to executing the maintenance check flight.
NOTE The pilot should be aware of the fact that due to
maintenance/modifications systems may have malfunctions which
have not been discovered in prior inspections.
The Maintenance check flight is to be conducted using the
Maintenance Check Flight Form (Figure 53). On this form all the items
to be checked are indicated. For all the relevant items a short
description is given here. The maintenance check flight is not
intended to fly a complete evaluation program but covers all the
relevant items satisfactorily to be able to decide whether or not the
aircraft can be released for further service. Start with filling in the
items on the first four rows. These parameters reflect the general
aircraft data, meteorological and flight conditions.
General
The maintenance check flight consists of three parts: performance
tests, system tests, and flight handling tests. However, some of the
system tests are best to be done on with the engine running on
ground. For the flight test, use airspace that is sufficiently clear of
other traffic so the pilot is not distracted from executing the tests. For
flight handling, the flight altitude should be sufficient for executing
the specific tests and should include a sufficiently large safety margin.
If the weather does not permit this, postpone the test but do not omit
it from the program. If during the test any indication shows a possible
Chapter 05 Inspection and Maintenance
Issue: 04.APR 2016 Page 57
TOMARK, s.r.o.
Issue: 11.AUG 2016
Airplane Maintenance Manual
malfunctioning, do not continue the test but land as soon as practical
and have the aircraft inspected.
After the maintenance check flight has been completed and the form
has completely been filled in, the authorized inspector can proceed
with the release to service procedure according to the applicable
regulations.
05-21-10 Performance Tests
The goal of the performance tests is to have a spot check of three
relevant flight conditions in the envelope. Climb, cruise, and full
throttle level flight are checked. Both flight performance and engine
performance are monitored.
Climb
Fly the aircraft at a speed 65 KIAS using a full throttle and flaps
retraced. Fly this as stationary as possible while monitoring the flight
and engine instruments. Note down the relevant values on the form.
Do not fly this test for a too short period. Allow the engine to stabilize
the oil temperature. Compare this data with the data displayed in the
airplane flight manual. The corrected flight data should correlate with
the data in the airplane flight manual. Correction procedures are
given in the flight manual.
Cruise
Fly the aircraft at a typical cruise speed of 95 KIAS. Monitor the
indicated parameters. Allow the situation to stabilize before writing
down the data. Compare this data with the data displayed in the
airplane flight manual. The corrected flight data should correlate with
the data in the airplane flight manual.
Chapter 05 Inspection and Maintenance
Page 58 Issue:04.APR2016
TOMARK, s.r.o.
Airplane Maintenance Manual
Max Continues Power Level Flight
Fly the aircraft at full throttle (climb). Build up speed in moderately
into level flight and reduce RPM gradually until MCP (5500RPM) is
reached. Allow the aircraft to stabilize for some time. Fly this
maneuver as stationary as possible. Write down the requested
parameters. Compare this data with the data displayed in the airplane
flight manual. (Fly this maneuver at minimum safe altitude). The
corrected flight data should correlate with the data in the airplane
flight manual.
05-21-20 System Tests
The system tests are meant for checking the systems of the aircraft.
The systems are subdivided into 7 groups. For each group the
relevant systems are indicated on the form. Check their functionality
and indication where relevant. On the form indicate an acceptable
functionality with a “+”. A functionality which is not acceptable should
be indicated with a “-“. Use the reverse of the form to write down
possible comments or complaints. Try to be as accurate as possible in
writing the comments/complaints. This will allow maintenance
personnel to handle this adequately.
05-21-21 Flight Controls
Elevator/Aileron/Rudder/Flap
Check the elevator/aileron/rudder controls for smooth operation and
forces as expected. Do not apply full or abrupt control inputs at
speeds above VA (88 KIAS). While increasing speed do not allow the
speed to increase above VNE (126 KIAS), keep engine RPM within
limits. While decreasing speed do not stall the aircraft. Check controls
with all possible flap settings. DO NOT spin the aircraft! The
maximum speed with flaps intermediate and full flaps is 79 KIAS.
Longitudinal Trim
Operate the trim through the full range. It should be possible to trim
the aircraft in a speed range above 50 KIAS at Full throttle and flap up
as well as 65 KIAS at 3500 RPM and flap 30°. A larger trim range is
Chapter 05 Inspection and Maintenance
Issue: 04.APR 2016 Page 59
TOMARK, s.r.o.
Airplane Maintenance Manual
amongst other depending on the cg position. Check both full forward
and full aft trim. Stick forces change significant with trim setting. Fly
the trim test for nose up at low, for nose down at high speeds.
Lateral and Directional Trim
The aircraft should be adequately trimmed lateral and directional at a
cruise speed of 95 KIAS.
Flap Control
Check for proper functioning of the flap controls. This may be done
on the ground or in flight at an airspeed of less than VF (79 KIAS).
Select intermediate flap position then full flap position, verifying
visually that the flaps have deployed and retracted correctly.
05-21-22 Engine Controls
Throttle
Check the smooth operation of the throttle over its complete range
(check friction lock function). The engine should give a direct
response.
Engine Electric Control Switches
Check the operation of the engine key switch before takeoff according
to the AFM. Check operation of fuel pumps (mechanical from engine
and electric fuel pump) before takeoff according to the AFM.
05-21-23 Other Controls
Door Locks
Door locks are not tested in flight as such, however throughout the
engine RPM range the lock handles should be observed to ensure the
lock does not open due to vibrations.

Brake and Park Brake
Check the function of the brakes during taxi. Perform stops using the
brake to verify smooth and symmetric operation of the brakes. Set
the parking brake and perform a run up to verify that the parking
brake is operating correctly.
05-21-24 Flight Instruments
Magnetic Compass
Check presence, legibility and date of the compensation card. Check
the smooth functioning of the magnetic compass. A nervous or
otherwise unstable compass indicated a vibration or magnetic field
problem. One should be familiar with generic magnetic compass
turning errors in tuning or accelerating flight.
Airspeed/Altitude Indication
Check the logic and smooth functioning of the pitot/static related
indicators. While increasing speed do not allow the speed to increase
above VNE. While decreasing speed do not stall the aircraft. Indicated
situation should follow actual situation instantaneous. Lagging or
“sticking” indication is reason for complaint.
05-21-25 Avionics
COM
Check the correct functioning of the radio. Tune in to a frequency
given by ATC and check whether both receiving and transmitting
levels are acceptable.
XPDR
Check the functionality of the transponder. Ask a transponder code of
ATC and ask whether they receive the signal. They should check for
the primary and secondary signal including altitude. Try to send an
ident and ask ATC to reply via radio when they have received it.

applicable to the Viper SD-4 RTC and unchanged versus the
information contained in the flight manual.
Verify EMS page on RHS display is always on minimum 50% screen
layout.
Skyview Artificial Horizon
Check the logical functioning of the artificial horizon. It should be
possible to see the effects from both roll and pitch on the instrument
instantaneous and reflecting actual pitch and roll. The aircraft
indicator symbol should be adjustable both up and down.
Turn and Bank Indication
Check the logical functioning of the turn and bank indicator. It should
be possible to see the effects from both left and right bank on the
instrument. Furthermore check the functioning of the slip indicator.
Slipping the aircraft both to the left and to the right should result in a
logical indication. Check accuracy of the instrument by timing a full
360 turn.
GPS
Check the functionality of the GPS. See whether the reception of
satellite signals is sufficient. Furthermore check the navigation facility
by trying to navigate for a short period to an airfield or beacon in the
neighborhood which is available in the data base.
OAT Indicator
The OAT indicator shows the outside air temperature measured at the
interface between VST and HST. The temperature indication can be
correlated to the temperature ATC has available on the airfield at the
moment of take-off. The functionality can further be checked by the
fact that usually the temperature decreases with increasing altitude
(note that OAT values have a noticeable time delay – remain on level

flight for several minutes). Be aware that in certain meteorological
conditions, the temperature will increase with increasing altitude
(inversion). If needed consult the meteo office for further information
on the day of the test. OAT indication should not change with any
change electric power or environment situation. Changed or erratic
OAT while transmitting on the Com radio indicates a degradation of
the sensor wire shielding.
Compass
Check agreement of SkyView compass display with magnetic compass
while executing turns.
Airspeed Indicator/Altimeter/Variometer
Check agreement of SkyView airspeed and altitude readings with
those of the analog instruments.
Accelerometer
Select the g-meter display and verify the indication to correlate with
bank angle in turning flight. There is no need to deliberately attempt
more than 2g (equivalent to coordinated turn with 60° bank and
constant speed).
Skyview Angle of Attack
Perform Skyview Angle of Attack calibration according the onscreen
instructions and Skyview Manual.

EMS Check
Check functioning of EMS display. Prior to takeoff, follow startup and
run up procedure according to the AFM.
RPM Indication
Check the functioning of the rpm indication on the EMS display while
moving from low to high rpm and reverse.

Fuel Pressure Indication
Check the functioning of the fuel pressure indication on EMS display
by switching electric pump ON/OFF. Fuel pressure indication should
remain green in colour.
Oil Pressure and Temperature Indication
Check the functioning of the oil pressure and oil temperature
indication on the EMS display. Idle RPM will reduce the oil pressure
and increasing power settings will increase the pressure. Indication
should follow instantaneously.
Verify in stabilized full throttle climb flight at 65 KIAS that the
temperature remains within limits.
CHT Indication
Check the functioning of the CHT indication on the EMS display by
changing the throttle setting. In idle conditions the CHT of the various
cylinders will have a higher spread, in stabilized conditions above
4000RPM the difference between the two EGT signals should be no
more than 20 °C.
05-21-28 Other Instruments
Fuel Quantity Indicator
Check the functioning of the fuel quantity indicator by monitoring the
indication during the flight. During the flight the indication should
become less according the amount burned. The indication is only
accurate in horizontal flight; however the indication should be
independent of the airspeed. Changing indication with changing
speed gives reason to suspect a problem with the fuel ventilation and
should be investigated immediately.
Do not read the indicator in a turn, sideslip, steep climb or descent.
Volt/Amp Meter
Check the functioning of the volt/amp meter by switching MASTER
and INSTRUMENT on and electric consumers (lights) on prior to
engine start. The battery should be sufficient to maintain a Voltage

above 12V, the Ampere meter should show a discharge depending on
the amount of electric load. A regular twitch trigged by the ACL is
normal. The voltage should immediately increase to 13.6V when the
engine generator engages at engine speed above 2800 RPM, the
ammeter should immediately read a charging state.
05-21-30 Flight Handling Tests
These tests come closer to the boundaries of the flight envelope and
have to be tested with care. Gain sufficient altitude before starting
these tests. Do not execute these tests in inadequate weather
conditions. Do not omit this part of the maintenance check flight but
schedule an additional flight. The flight handling tests address four
items.
Normal Flight
In this item the pilot should comment on the normal flight handling.
He can base his judgement on the experience gained on the type in
previous flights. He should base his judgment on all items tested so
far in the maintenance check flight. He should address flight
handling, the possibility to trim the aircraft and the control authority.
High Speed
In this part of the test the pilot should fly speeds up to VNE. This
speed should be approached carefully with sufficient altitude left for
recovery since this speed will only be reached in a relatively steep
dive. Since there is a risk of over speeding the engine this has to be
flown at idle power setting. Check the rpm at VNE. This should not be
more than 5200 rpm. During the high speed flight, check for
excessive or unusual vibrations or buffeting. When unusual vibrations
are noticed, do not increase speed further. Gently pull out of the dive
and return to the airfield as soon as practical for inspection.
Stall
Approach the stall with a speed reduction of approximately 1knot/s.
Trim the aircraft at 65 KIAS before starting this maneuver. When the
airplane stalls, recover the aircraft in a normal way. This has to be
done in a configuration with the flaps up and the power set to idle.

The position of the centre of gravity expressed in % of the mean
aerodynamic chord bMAC is then calculated on the basis of the
formula:
Calculation Formulae
The procedure below is aimed to calculate the position of the max
fwd and max rear CG for this individual airplane. Once it is verified
that they fall between the design limits CG range of table below, then
this means that the CG will always be between the design CG limit
during any phase of the flight. It is nevertheless responsibility of the
pilot to make sure that the MTOM is not exceeded (See section 2). In
case a modification is performed on the airplane the procedure
should be repeated and the values recorded.
xT [% MAC] = xT / MAC · 100 %
For the calculation of the CG position it is necessary to know the
length of the mean aerodynamic chord (MAC). The calculated CG
position must be within the range specified by the manufacturer.
Weighing Procedure
When establishing the CG position and the subsequent calculation of
the CG position as % MAC proceed as follows:
NOTE Weigh the aircraft only on even floor and in closed shops (wind
protected). Use identical scales.
▶ Put the airplane on three scales as per Chapter
▶ Level the aircraft as per Chapter
Weighing of the airplane for the establishment of the allowed frontmost CG position:
08-20Leveling
07 Lifting and Shoring
.
.
▶ Completely fill fuel tanks.
▶ Ensure aircraft’s luggage compartment is empty.
▶ Occupy the pilot’s seat with the minimum allowed weight (55 kg).
▶ Read the weight readings of the scales under the wheels of the main
landing gear (mR and mL respectively).
▶ Read the weight reading of the scale under the wheel of the front
You will get the total weight of the airplane as the sum of mR+mL+mF.
▶ Calculate the distance of the CG from the wing’s leading edge by
using the formula:
xT = ((mR + mL) · LM – LF · mF)/mT.
▶ Calculate the front-most position as % MAC by using the formula:
xT [% MAC] = xT / MAC · 100 %.
Weighing of the airplane for the establishment of the rear-most CG
position as % MAC:
▶ Put 2 × 7,5 kg weights into the luggage compartments
▶ Fill the tanks with the minimum allowed take off fuel quantity (for a
30-minute flight).
▶ Load both seats with the maximum allowed crew weight that will
cause the airplane to reach its MTOM of 600 kg).
The weighting procedure is the same as in the case of establishing of
the front-most CG position.
The calculation procedure is the same as in front-most CG position
with correction on the maximum permissible weight of 15 kg of
luggage. The correction value of momentum on the maximum
permissible weight of luggage in the luggage compartment is 21 kg.
The reference line for longitudinal leveling is the straight part of the
canopy frame.
The identical distances of wing tips to an even floor are the reference
for lateral leveling.
▶ Place aircraft on an even floor.
▶ Measure distances of wing tips to an even floor.
▶ Align a spirit level towards the straight part of the canopy frame.
▶ Place suitable wooden strips under the respective tires.

Removal
NOTE Observe the following when removing rivets:
▶ Use a drill bit by 0.6 mm (0.025 in) diameter smaller than the rivet
shank and rill up to the depth of 2/3 of the total depth riveted parts.
▶ Remove the drilled heads with a sharp cuter.
▶ Drive out the shank with the soft material mandrel diameter by 0.1
mm (0.004 in) smaller than rivet shank diameter.
▶ The rivets, which cannot be driven out should be drilled out full
depth.
▶ When removing rivets, be careful that chips and rivets do not fall
down to areas were sensitive mechanisms are located, e.g. guides,
control bearings etc.
▶ Remove rivets from the side of the rivet, which is more accessible.
▶ Drill out the rivet head and drive out the shank.
Riveting Procedure
NOTE Observe the following when riveting:
▶ When drilling, fix by clamps or clecos mutual position of assembled
parts.
▶ Holes of higher diameters pre-drill with a drill bit of smaller diameter
and then re-drill them to the final size.
▶ Fit the parts being connected and drill them together. Hole diameter
must be by 0.1 mm (0.004 in) bigger than rivet shank diameter.
▶ Disassemble the parts and deburr the holes.
NOTE Observe the following for sunken rivets:
▶ Perform conical countersinking of the rivet head by 5° smaller apex
angle (e.g. the head with angle of 100° will have countersinking of
95°±1°).
After countersinking, the cylindrical part of hole with min. length of
0.3 mm (0.012 in) must remain in material.
▶ Countersinking must be performed in such a way that the rivets head
overruns the area before riveting max. by 0.2 mm (0.008 in), the rivet
head must not be under the surface level (sunk).
▶ Before applying the bonding sealant (applies to fuel tank only)
carefully clean the connected parts of impurities and degrease contact
surfaces by appropriate agent, e.g. industrial spirit.

▶ Cleaning liquid always apply on the cloth only and wipe it off from the
surface before its evaporating.
NOTE The surfaces that are to be connected must be dry.
▶ Clean before application of bonding sealant.
▶ Apply bonding sealant on one of the surfaces (applies to fuel tank
only), which should be sealed together.
▶ Apply the adhesive directly from the packing by means of the
extrusion gun, plastic spatula or paintbrush in such a way that the
layer of sealant is equally thick and integral, without bubbles or
uncovered areas. The optimum thickness of the applied coat is 0.25
mm (0.01 in).
▶ After applying bonding sealant connect both parts together, fix them
by clecos and rivet them.
NOTE After proper riveting the continual bur of adhesive is created on the
edge of connected surfaces. If this bur is big, it is possible to wipe it
off with the plastic spatula and finally with cloth dipped in degreasing
agent.

21-20 Distribution
The ventilation of the cockpit of Viper SD-4 RTC is designed as a ram
pressure one, with the possibility to control the airflow.
The air entering through the cockpit air inlets (1) is directed by plastic
tubes to the air vents (2) above of the instrument panel and to two air
nozzles (3) located on left and right instrument panels. The air
nozzles are controllable with ability to be closed by rotary motion.
Canopy glass ventilation is supplied by two canopy air inlets (4). The
airflow is led to the air vents located on the front part of the cabin
frame and is adjustable by valves (5) located at the sides of canopy
frame.
The canopy is equipped with ventilation windows (6) on the sides.

The heating system consist of
a heat exchanger
a control valve
two selector boxes
rubber hoses
two Bowden cables
two control knobs.
Fresh air is taken from the inlet located on the bottom of the lower
engine cowling. Through rubber hoses (3) the air is routed to the heat
exchanger (5) at the exhaust muffler (4) and further to the selector
boxes (2).
The control valve is actuated via Bowden cable by the CABIN HEAT
control knob located on the right side of the instrument panel.
From the control valve air is ducted to the distribution box (6), where
the air flow is divided. Then further routed through rubber hoses (3)
to the flanges (2) on the left and right side of the firewall (1) and then
into the cabin.
