Control Hinge Cotter Pins. Check that the cotter pins
are present in the appropriate places.
Get under the flaps and look at the push rod that drives
the flaps. Look carefully at the arrangement of the
ends of that rod and of the center safety-wired
turnbuckle arrangement. If that fails, you could have an
asymmetric flap situation.
Note that the rear-facing white navigation lights are
built into the wingtip strobe and that the strobes take
the place of a red rotating beacon on a modern aircraft.
Tire Pressures (2014 and newer with Beringer
wheels and tires only. Earlier models with
Cleveland wheels, see your POH): In order to ensure
good tire life, correct tire pressures are very important.
Be sure they are checked regularly with a tire pressure
gauge. The nose wheel should be 40 to 90 PSI and the
mains should be 62 to 112 PSI. This applies to both
the SR20 and the SR22. We recommend aiming for
the middle of these ranges
Tire inflation is such that the length of the tire flattened as it sits on the ground should be
about a US dollar bill. Or, four fingers should fit comfortably between the wheel fairing
and the ground. Third option is the fuel tester from the pocket in the baggage door. The
"cup" should stand upright and fit comfortably under the fairing. If the dollar bill test
and/or the cup test fail, the tire(s) needs air.
