Here is what I have so far... Anyone, please feel free to add to list of known skymaster problematic areas or issues.
FUEL LINE LEAKS
-Look for Obvious Fuel Line Leaks
OIL LEAKS
-REAR ENGINE notoriously known for oil leaks.
FULL FUEL CHECK
-If you fill the tanks too fast the inner tanks does not fill as quickly as
the outer tank and can cause you to lose up to 12 gals.
MAG CHECK REPLACED?
-Mags are good for about 300-400 Hrs
-Are they Pressurized Mags?
FUEL PUMPS - need clarification
-something about setting fuel pump to LOW and if the engine needs
more fuel pressure, they automatically go HIGH?
ENGINE MOUNTS
-Check engine mounts (especially the rear)
ALTERNATOR
-Check Alternator drive couplings for slippage. The wear out before
TBO, and can cause Internal Engine Damage.
VACCUM PUMPS
-Most of the time they are 300 hrs pumps and need serviced.
LANDING GEAR DOORS
-Check for gear door droop. If they do, the Gear Accumulator is bad
(located near under the pilot seat)
-Manually Cycle the Gear
LANDING GEAR POWERPACK
-Top off with Hydraulic Fluid (behind center pedestal)
IN FLIGHT
POWER ON TAKE-OFF
-Make sure the Power Red Lines on take-off
JANITROL HEATER
-Verify functioning (Just replaced / refurbished)
FUEL FLOWS
-Check that Fuel Flows Match
THROTTLE POSITION
-Verify throttle positions are aligned
GAUGES
-Make sure all gauges have correct readings.
-FUEL GAUGES ( Right Gauge was just replaced)
-OIL PRESSURE
-ENGINE TEMPERATURE
ALTERNATOR FUNCTION
-Check each alternator
-Switch Front OFF (Verify the rear alternator picks up the load and
Warning Light) then, back ON
-Switch Rear OFF (Verify the front alternator picks up the load and
Warning Light) then, Back ON
CABIN PRESSURE CHECK
-Take Plane upto 17,500 ft and ISOLATE each engine and check to see if
the cabin pressure can maintain max differential pressure (3.25psi)
AUTO PILOT
-Verify Altitude HOLD
-Verify Heading HOLD
NAVIGATION
-VERIFY VOR / ILS functionality
