SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION
The L-29 Delfín is a military jet trainer aircraft that became the standard jet trainer for the air
forces of Warsaw Pact nations in the 1960s. It was manufactured by Aero of Vodochody
Czechoslovakia. The prototype XL-29 first flew on 5 April 1959, powered by a Rolls Royce
Viper engine. The second prototype was powered by the Czech-designed M701 engine, which
was used in all subsequent aircraft. Some 3600 aircraft were produced between 1963-1974.

This specific aircraft was imported to the US and certified in the Experimental Exhibition
category October 21, 1999. It is powered with a M701 engine and has safely operated in the
SA
US since being certified.

DISCREPANCIES AND INOPERATIVE EQUIPMENT
The pilot in command shall ensure that all mechanical irregularities occurring during flight are entered
on a maintenance discrepancy form at the end of that flight. Before each flight the pilot in command
shall ascertain the status of each discrepancy entered on a maintenance discrepancy form for the
previous flight.

All mechanical irregularities documented on maintenance discrepancy forms must be

addressed (corrected or deferred) prior to the next flight.
SA
It is preferred to have all mechanical irregularities cleared and the corrective action
documented on the maintenance discrepancy form prior to flight. However this is not always
possible and some maintenance irregularities may be repaired at a latter date (deferred)
provided:

1.) The inoperative instruments and equipment are not-

a.) Part of the instruments and equipment required for VFR flight during the day
under 14 CFR § 91.205(a);
b.) Required by 14 CFR § 91.205 or any other rule of 14 CFR § 91 for the specific
M
kind of flight operation being conducted and

2.) The inoperative instruments and equipment are-

a.) Removed from the aircraft, the cockpit control is placarded and the maintenance
is recorded in accordance with 14 CFR § 43.9 or
PL
b.) Deactivated and placarded as “Inoperative”. If deactivation of the inoperative
instrument or equipment involves maintenance, it must be accomplished and
recorded in accordance with 14 CFR § § 43.3, 43.7 and 43.9 and

3.) A determination is made by a certificated pilot who is rated to act as pilot in command
of an L-29, or by a person who is certificated and appropriately rated to perform
maintenance on the aircraft, that the inoperative instrument or equipment does not
constitute a hazard to the aircraft.
E
This aircraft with inoperative instruments or equipment as provided for above is considered to
be in a properly altered condition acceptable to the FAA Administrator.

The Maintenance Discrepancy form and the Summary of Items Deferred form (SID) shall be
kept with the aircraft until the maintenance discrepancy is corrected and cleared. These forms
are considered part of the aircraft maintenance records and shall be kept in accordance with
14 CFR § 91.417.

Items that are permanently deactivated and remain installed on the aircraft (Jettison systems
etc.) shall be documented in the aircraft logbook and are also required to be entered in SID.

A copy of Chapter 1 Item 8 shall be kept in the aircraft for reference.

electrical power to the aircraft before doing so. The use of an external power source is
preferred over the aircraft battery.

EJECTION SEATS: Both ejection seats on this aircraft have been disabled by removing the
pyrotechnic charges. In addition the seats shall be placarded showing that the ejection
portion of the ejection seats are inoperative.

CANOPY JETTISON: The canopy jettison system was part of the ejection seat system and
M
was retained as a safety measure. Rotating the handle, on the right side of the seat,
forward, with electrical power applied to the aircraft, will energized the canopy rams.
Caution should be exercised to:
• to remain clear of the canopy ram cylinders and
• pin the handles on the ejection seats when the aircraft is not flying or
• remove the connectors on the two canopy ram valves, located behind the front
PL
seat, when the front seat is removed.

GEAR COLLAPSE: While inspecting or performing maintenance on the landing gear or in

a gear well area, it is strongly recommended that the aircraft be placed on jacks prior to
starting work.

RADIOATIVE COMPONENTS: The transmitter of the ice accretions system on the right
side of the nose has been removed. The high energy ignition box may contain low–level
radioisotopes and shall not be handled without protective clothing.
E
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE: Prior to starting any work or inspections, ensure that the
hydraulic pressure is at zero and all emergency extension valves are closed (clockwise).
Before applying hydraulic pressure to any system, ensure the area around the landing gear,
flaps and speed brakes are clear.

DEFLATE TIRES: An explosion hazard exists if the wheel or wheel bolts are damaged and
the axel nut is loosened. Before loosing any axel nut, ensure the tire is deflated.

SECTION 7: INITIAL ENGINE RUN
Please review this entire procedure prior to attempting an engine start.
SAFETY FIRST!
ƒ Ensure that the engine intake and tail pipe is clear of FOD.
ƒ There are not any loose articles in the cockpit that could end up going down the
intake.
ƒ The ramp area is free of FOD.
ƒ Ensure everyone on the ramp is briefed not to walk within 15’ of the jet intakes or
SA
within 100’ of the tail pipe while the engine is running.
ƒ Hearing protection is required.
ƒ It is possible to lockout normal braking from the front cockpit. Ensure normal brakes
can be applied from the front cockpit before starting.
ƒ One of the leading causes of hot starts is a low battery. Prior to starting, ensure that
the battery is fully charged (26VDC MIN) or use an adequate external power source.
M
To properly observe the fuel transfer the fuel should be distributed as follows:
ƒ Internal fuel, 800L or less.
ƒ Each external fuel tank, 5 - 10 gallons.
PL
The electrical part of the start sequence is controlled automatically by the starting control
box as follows:
ƒ 0sec. – Starter current applied half power (200A)
ƒ 3sec. – Ignition on
ƒ 5sec. – Starter current applied full power (400A)
ƒ 15sec. – Ignition off
E
ƒ 17sec. – Starter off
