At owner’s discretion.
I.5 Subject
This service bulletin allows the installation of the Diamond Aircraft flap control module unit and
microswitch tray.
I.6 Reason
This change was implemented due to the White Wire flap control module no longer being available.
None.
I.8 Approval
The technical content of this document is approved as part of the type design.
1. Pull the battery circuit breaker located on the right side of the instrument panel.
4. Remove the flap controller from the instrument panel. The controller on non-G500 equipped
aircraft is shown below on the left; the controller on G500 equipped aircraft is shown on the right.
5. Plug the flap controller connector on the instrument panel harness into the Diamond Aircraft flap
controller (P/N 22-2753-20-00SB), and install it into the same location as the previous controller.
Use the supplied hardware.
NOTE: serial numbers C0002 through C0144 may have a circular connector on the previously
installed controller. If so, install the retrofit harness (P/N 22-3914-10-00).
6. Remove the flap actuator as per AMM Chapter 27-50-00. If the optional flap actuator assembly is
ordered, proceed to step 14.
7. Remove the spring pin shown below and loosen the hose clamps. Remove the microswitch tray
and rod assembly from the flap motor.
8. Assemble the flap actuator as shown below. Use the new supplied parts. Install and secure the
hardware with Loctite 222.
9. Position the microswitch tray approximately 8 mm from the edge of the actuator seal.
10. Install the extension rod onto the motor end. Align the pilot hole in the extension rod with the
existing hole in the motor end. Verify that the extension rod has reached proper engagement.
Open the pilot hole on the extension rod with a 1/8” drill bit as shown below.
NOTE: take care not to bend the switch plates at the weld joints when drilling.
11. Position the rod end as shown below, and drill through the extension rod hole and rod end with a
1/8” drill bit.
NOTE: take care not to bend the switch plates at the weld joints when drilling.
12. Install the spring pins into the extension rod as shown below.
NOTE: take care not to bend the switch plates at the weld joints when drilling.
13. Install seal retainers using supplied hardware on both microswitch plates. Install and secure
hardware with Loctite 222.
14. Install flap actuation into the aircraft as per AMM Chapter 27-50-00. Use the new (supplied) nuts.
17. Push in the battery circuit breaker and turn the electrical master switch on.
18. Confirm that each flap position is within the range stated in AMM Chapter 27-50-00. If not, adjust
the appropriate microswitches accordingly.
19. While the flaps are in the T/O or landing configuration, apply a load on the flap by pulling up to
simulate a drag force on the flap. Check if dual lights remain on. Adjust the microswitches if dual
lights are observed.
20. Confirm on the aircraft’s ammeter that the load drops when the flap actuator comes to rest after
each cycle of the flap positions. If the load remains high, check the following:
B. If in the cruise position, adjust the microswitch tray. This may also require adjustment of the
other switches afterwards.
21. Install flap actuator shield (P/N 22-2750-06-02) using the supplied hardware (bolt: AN3-4A,
washer: NAS1149F0363P). Install and secure hardware with Loctite 222.
22. Loosen the hose clamps and rotate the microswitch tray so that the short side of the cam can
only be engaged by the plate with three microswitches. Tighten the clamps.
23. Clean the work area and inspect for foreign objects.
24. Make a logbook entry that this service bulletin has been incorporated.
No change.
II PLANNING INFORMATION
2 AN526C632R8 Screw
Material may be ordered as kit DAC1-27-04AMK0. Optionally, a complete flap motor assembly 22-
2750-10-00 can be ordered.
NOTE: serial numbers C0002 through C0144 may require a flap controller retrofit harness, P/N 22-
3914-10-00. The harness is required if the currently installed flap controller has a circular connector.
This estimate is for direct labour performed by a technician and it does not include setup, planning,
familiarization, cure time, part fabrication, or tool acquisition.
