17.2 Troubleshooting
17.2.1 Water in Wing Tips
In the inadvertent submersion of the wing tip in water, there is a possibility that water has passed
through the tip light seals and collected in the hollow wing tip where it cannot naturally drain out. If
submersion occurs or if water is suspected in the wing tip, follow the procedure below to drain the
water.

TASK INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unlock the wing and pull it outward.
2. Rotate the wing 90° leading edge down and hold the tip high. Water can then drain out of the tip
and into the main part of the wing.
3. Rotate the wing back in the opposite direction from step two (to avoid twisting in the light wiring
and/or AOA or fuel drain tubing).
4. Re-lock the wing into flying position.
VERIFICATION METHOD:
Water removed from the tip is now free to drain from holes at the wing root.
