Instructions for Continued Airworthiness Bell 206B
Conduct a visual inspection (look for signs of wear, deterioration,
or damage to wire harness and connector) of the cooling fan to
ensure installation integrity. Inspect for signs of corrosion on
equipment and mounting brackets.
Perform an electrical bonding test:
1. Remove 500W Series unit from mounting rack
2. Measure the resistance between the mounting rack and a
nearby exposed portion of aircraft metallic structure and
verify it is less than 10 milliohms.
In the event of a bonding test failure, remove the rack and verify
that the countersunk areas around the holes that are used to
attach the rack are free of corrosion or other debris. Clean
countersunk areas using an approved solvent per Bell
specification BHT-ELEC-SPM CHP8. Reattach the rack and re-
verify the resistance between the mounting rack and nearby
exposed portion of aircraft metallic structure and ensure that the
resistance is less than or equal to 2.5 milliohms.
Reinstall the 500W Series unit in the mounting rack.
Perform an electrical bonding test on antennas installed by this
STC:
1. Disconnect coaxial cable(s) from the antenna connector(s).
2. Measure the resistance between the antenna connector and
a nearby exposed portion of the antenna foil ground plane.
3. Verify the resistance is equal to or less than 10 milliohms.
4. Reconnect the coaxial cable(s) to the antenna connector(s)
and ensure it is secured.
In the event of bonding test failure, remove antenna, and clean
and prepare the hardware mating surfaces as follows:
Clean countersunk areas of the antenna. Clean countersunk
areas using an approved solvent per Bell Specification BHT-
ELEC-SPM, CHP 8.
Reinstall using unit replacement procedures contained in the
installation drawing listed in paragraph 2.1 of this document. Any
reworked antenna installation shall have a resistance of less than
or equal to 2.5 milliohms.
Perform an electrical bonding test:
1. Measure the resistance between the metallic body of each
Vivisun annunciator and the console assembly and verify
that the resistance is less than or equal to 20 milliohms.
