Hello,
Does anyone have any idea of where I can find the acceptable nose gear oleo strut extension for the C152? The C152 PoH seems to make no reference to this with the exception of -
"NOSE GEAR SHOCK STRUT – Keep filled with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid and inflated with air to 20 PSI. Do not over-inflate."
Of course, it's quite hard to eyeball the pressure on a walkaround.... I believe I could notice an overextended or low oleo, but cannot define the correct extension!
I seem to have "A fists width" in my head, but no idea where I got this from or if this in paper anywhere!
Any rules/methods of reference in the PoH I have overlooked would be appreciated!
Thanks!
