1. Test the socket assembly in the wing by carefully rotating the wing tip to ensure proper engage-
ment and retention of the pin.
CAUTION: Be sure to support the wing in case of failure. The wing should
move slightly but should not contact the Seawing.
2. Looking at the wing fold mechanism, ensure that all circlips and visible attachment points are fully
secured. Evaluate the U-point pins and circlips.
3. With the wing fold mechanism exposed, actuate the wing fold handle to validate that there is full
positive detent at the end of the handle rotation while also exhibiting smooth motion throughout
the range. With the handle unlatched, check for excessive freeplay of the handle.
