UNIVERSAL TRAVEL BOARD (P/N TE-100TB) INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL

1. UNIVERSAL TRAVEL BOARD (UTB) - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Universal Travel Board (P/N TE-100TB) is a Beechcraft Corporation approved alternate to the travel boards
used on other Beechcraft Corporation airplanes and listed in their applicable maintenance manual. This
instruction manual is to be used for Universal Travel Board (P/N TE-100TB) and only in conjunction with the
applicable Beechcraft Maintenance Manual.
The Universal Travel Board is used to locate the neutral position (0°) of a control surface. Once neutral has
been located, a digital protractor (P/N KS6005 or equivalent) is used to measure surface deflection.
A. Special Tools and Equipment
The Universal Travel Board and Digital Protractor listed in Table1 are to be used when checking control
surface alignment by this alternate method.

2. UNIVERSAL TRAVEL BOARD (UTB)
The Universal Travel Board consists of three major components, the stabilizer assembly, the horizontal beam
assembly and the vertical beam assembly. These parts are available through Textron Aviation Parts
Distribution (TAPD).
A. Stabilizer Assembly
The stabilizer assembly consist of a stabilizer bar with attached clevis (1), two stabilizer pads (2) and
attaching hardware, springs (3) and washers (4) (Ref. Figure 1). The stabilizer assembly connects
perpendicular to the horizontal beam assembly with a bolt (6), washers (7) and wingnut (8). The
stabilizer assembly steadies the horizontal and vertical beam assemblies when they are placed on the
airplane’s control surface.
B. Horizontal Beam Assembly
The horizontal beam assembly consists of the horizontal beam (5) with two attached reference scales
and two identical vertical legs A1 (9) and A2 (10) which attach to sliding blocks inside the horizontal
beam (5) (Ref. Figure 1). When in use, A1 and A2 are adjusted to the value indicated in Table 2 for the
applicable airplane model and control surface under test.

UNIVERSAL TRAVEL BOARD (P/N TE-100TB) INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL
C. Vertical Beam Assembly
The vertical beam assembly consists of the vertical beam (11) with attached reference scale, a notched
pin A3 (16) and its attaching hardware, knurled bolt (14) and washer (15) (Ref. Figure 1). A larger
knurled bolt (12) and washer (13) attach the vertical beam to the aft end of the horizontal beam. When in
use, pin A3 is adjusted to the value indicated in Table 2 for the applicable airplane model and control
surface under test.
3. DIGITAL PROTRACTOR
A digital protractor is a tool used for measuring the deflection, in degrees, of the travel surface and should be
used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (see Table 1).
4. EFFECTIVE MODELS
The models listed in Table 2 are Beechcraft Corporation approved for the use of the Universal Travel Board
as an alternate to the travel boards listed in the applicable maintenance or shop manual. Other models may
become available at the request of the owner/operator or as new Beechcraft Corporation models are
introduced.
5. ALIGNMENT AND SETTINGS
NOTE: The locations given for the Universal Travel Board are selected to avoid measuring the aileron or
elevator on a fixed or moveable trim tab. For this reason, some of the locations given may not match
the location shown in the applicable maintenance manual. When the locations given differ from the
location in the applicable maintenance manual, use the locations listed in Table 2 of this manual.
All Beechcraft Corporation approved airplanes are listed in Table 2 with their corresponding control surface
locations and Universal Travel Board settings used for setup.
(a) Adjust A1 (9), A2 (10) and A3 (16) to the applicable settings listed in Table 2 (Ref. Figures 1 and
2).
(b) Assemble the Universal Travel Board per Figure 1. Place it on the control surface at the location
indicated in Table 2.
NOTE: Do not move the flight controls with the A3 pin (16) in contact with the aileron or elevator.
The stabilizer assembly may be attached at any convenient point and make sure legs, A1 (9) and A2
(10), remain in contact with the surface.
(c) Slide the vertical assembly forward. The notch in A3 pin (16) will capture the surface in the neutral
position (0°).
NOTE: Tip of legs A1 (9) and A2 (10) must be in complete contact with airplane control surface at all times
during 0° check. The tip of legs A1 (9) and A2 (10) must be centered over the spars when required by
Table 2.
Make sure A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs are sitting on surface skin and not on rivet head or other
surrounding structure, A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs must be on airplane skin to achieve accurate
measurement.
Always follow rigging procedures in the applicable Maintenance Manual, utilizing the Universal Travel
Board to determine the neutral position (0°). Both left and right surfaces must be rigged to neutral
position and symmetrical prior to checking and adjusting control surface travel.

6. CHECK AND RIGGING OF TRAVEL
NOTE: Make sure the digital protractor is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions when
checking surface travel.
(a) After the neutral position has been verified, place the digital protractor on the control surface to be
checked at a right angle to the hinge line and zero the instrument. Move the vertical beam (11)
away from the trailing edge of the surface being measured (Ref. Figure 1).
(b) Move the surface as required by the Maintenance Manual to check the required range of motion of
the left hand and right hand control surfaces. If necessary, use the adjustment procedures as
outlined in the applicable Maintenance Manual.
(c) The digital protractor may be used to measure the deflection of other horizontal surfaces as long
as neutral can be accurately established in accordance with the applicable Maintenance Manual.
(d) When finished, remove all tools and equipment. Check the flight control surfaces for freedom of
motion and direction of travel as outlined in the applicable Maintenance Manual.
7. CALIBRATION
A. Universal Travel Board Calibration
NOTE: The Universal Travel Board must be calibrated prior to each use.
Check for condition, such as proper attachment of the scales, damage to the legs, straightness of the
stabilizer bar, horizontal beam, vertical beam and proper attachment of all components should be
accomplished (Ref. Figures 1 and 4). Detailed requirements are as follows:
•
Verify A1 (9) leg length (including nylon slide and end) is 5.225 ± 0.015 inch.
•
Verify A2 (10) leg length (including nylon slide and end) is 5.650 ± 0.015 inch.
•
Verify horizontal beam (5) straightness is true within 0.050 inch over the length of the beam.
•
Verify vertical beam (11) straightness is perpendicular to horizontal beam (5) within 2°.
•
The graduation marks on the A1 (9) scale should be 21 ± 0.1 inches from the equivalent
graduation marks on the A2 (10) scale.
•
The middle of the scale (6 inch graduation) on the vertical beam (11) should be 8.25 ± 0.015
inches from the bottom of the horizontal beam (5).
B. Digital Protractor Calibration
Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for digital protractor calibration.

8. UNIVERSAL TRAVEL BOARD POSITIONING TABLE
Table 2 shows the applicable model, surface, location and settings.
NOTE: When the Universal Travel Board is properly assembled the A3 ruler will not be on the same side as
the A1 and A2 rulers. Unless instructed, do not disassemble the tool to put the scales on the same
side, as this will affect measurement accuracy.
On some models the A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs cannot both be placed on spars. These instances will
have an “N” in the SPAR column with the location referenced in the corresponding COMMENT
column. When A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs land on a universal head fastener (protruding), move A1 (9)
and A2 (10) legs inboard or outboard to clear and are on the airplane skin (Ref. Figure 1).
Make sure A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs are sitting on surface skin and not on rivet head or other
surrounding structure, A1 (9) and A2 (10) legs must be on airplane skin to achieve accurate
measurement.
