This manual contains Information on installations made in the aircraft during manufacture and optional
equipment only. However, informationderived from applicable Single EngineAircraft Service Kits,
Service Bulletins, and Service Letters will be included in the manual as soon as possible after the
issuance of these documents. Changes or installations made by the operator are not Included In this
manual.
The ability of maintenance personnel is recognized, andthose procedures which are considered common
to all aircraft have been either briefly referenced or omitted.
FORMAT
The chapter identification in this manual has been prepared In accordance withAir Transport Associa
tion (ATA) Specification No. 100. A functional breakdown is employed whereby all data pertaining to a
given system, or component of a system, may be found In one chapter with a minimum of cross-refer
encing to other chapters.
The Electrical Power Chapter in this manual covers only the power sources anddistributionequipment
- for the electrical system. There is not a chapter in this manual specifically designated for instruments.
Details of individual branch electrical or instrument systems will be found in the applicable chapter.
IDENTIFICATION OF SUBJECT MATTER
A three-dash number system is employed to Identify subject matter. The first dash number Identifies
the chapter, the second dash number the section, and the third dash number the component or sub
section of the section. The following example illustrates how the numbering system is used in the
NAVIGATION Chapter.
34 - l — i
•Identifies NAVIGATION Chapter.
• Identifies that section (group of related subjects) which
provides coverage for the Flight Environment Data
portion of the NAVIGATION Chapter.
•Identifies a specific subject (component) of the Flight
Environment Data. In this manual It is assigned to the
Pitot and Static Pressure Systems.
The dash 0 (-0) is provided as a means for covering a complete system or sub-system. The chapter
number followed by a zero (34-0) will segregate that material covering the complete system; the chapter
section numbers followed by a zero (34-1-0) is used for further details covering the sub-system or com
ponent.

TIME LIMITS - DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
1. General
The service guide (Figure 1) contains the manufacturers' recommendedtime limits for inspection, main
tenance and overhaul of the airplane, its systems and units.
2. Service Life Limited Components
Recent changes in the Federal Aviation Regulations require that all new aircraft nowbeing certified, for
which application for a type certificate,was made after September 14, 1969, have the critical wing struc
ture components fatigue strength Investigated and that, where applicable, these components be service
life limited. Since the AA-5, AA-5A and AA-5B fall into this category, the following service life infor
mation is provided. The Model AA-5, AA-5A and AA-5B wing and associated structure have been shown
capable of withstanding the repeated loads of variable magnitude expected in service. This was accom
plished through a fatigue strength investigation, and as a result of this Investigation, discrete service
lives have been established for several wing structure components. Those components and their corre
sponding service lives are listed in Figure 2.
Service life limited parts must be retired from service in accordance with the specified service life
hours listed in Figure 2.
All wing and fuselage structural components shall be subject to normal inspection, maintenance, repair
and replacement procedures. In addition, to ensure maximum limited life, If corrosion is detected on
wing or inboard spars, remove it as quickly as possible and protect the surface from further corrosion
in accordance with AC43.13-1A,"Acceptable Methods, Techniques and Practices - Aircraft Inspection
and Repair".
