Mike | 3474 Annual Checklist

Does any one have an Annual Checklist they can send me...... I have looked in the manuals but cant find it. I saw a preflight list but not an annual list. I have a good one now that I made up but, I am sure you have items I don't have on the list. Once received I will repost a complete one. Thanks in advance...

Tom Saccio | 3475 Annual Checklist

The FAA has an Advisory Circular That is a great check list to follow. It's AC90-89A Appendix 1. Go to FAA advisory Circular and type in AC90-89A go to Index and scroll down to appendix 1. It's comprehensive and worth looking at. Tom Saccio

Hey Mike,

As you know, I hope to be announcing that I will have acquired a Seawind very shortly, but right now I would like to thank you for all your hard work, making your Poa, buying, and Annual lists available to us all. They are very informative, and, for me personally, makes me more confident in moving forward into the Seawind world.

Thank you.

your welcome - Anytime

mike reibling | Omg

That is a big list no wonder it takes me 1 hour of inspection for every hour of flying.

One thing you could add. I didn't see inspect the counter weight on the rudder. Mine has come loose in the past. Other than that I think you got it. Maybe too good. Lol

Oh.. check to make sure there is a small hole in the crank case vent line and that it is clear.

Mine didn't have one and I froze up mine and pushed my oil out the prop seal.. ( big mess)
