1960–1989 Beechcraft Debonair & Bonanza 33 Series Shop Manual Supplement (P/N 33-590011-1C)

For 1960–1989 Beechcraft Debonair and Bonanza 33 Series aircraft within the serial ranges listed above, this shop manual supplement is P/N 33-590011-1C, revised May 22, 1989 (C17). It supplements the Bonanza 35 Shop Manual, which supplies maintenance procedures referenced but not reproduced here.

• Flight controls: Aileron, elevator, and rudder balancing; empennage rigging; electric trim actuator service; and flap adjustment and wear checks.

• Fuel and ignition: Fuel-cell removal and installation, fuel-quantity indicator calibration, Continental fuel-pump adjustment, and Bendix/Slick magneto installation and engine timing.

• Landing gear and brakes: Landing-gear motor replacement, safety-system tests, brake bleeding and wear checks, and Paramount/Gerdes brake master-cylinder overhaul.

• Structural work: Wing and stabilizer removal, wing-bolt and spar-cap inspections, torque-adapter calculations, and main and nose wheel overhaul.

• Electrical and autopilot: Wiring diagrams, alternator and standby-generator diagnosis, Grimes/Bullock strobe service, and BEECHCRAFT New-Matic autopilot troubleshooting.

• Air conditioning: Compressor, condenser, and evaporator replacement, refrigerant leak detection, functional tests, and system troubleshooting.

• Inspection planning: Replacement schedules, periodic inspections, E33C/F33C spin inspections, and checks following high-speed landing-gear or flap extension.

This supplement is suited to aircraft maintenance professionals familiar with control-rigging equipment, aircraft electrical testing, and the inspection methods used in structural repair.

Serial Coverage and Wiring Limits

The model list excludes F33A serial CE-748. Section 6 contains wiring diagrams for CD-1 through CD-1304, CE-1 through CE-612, and CJ-1 through CJ-104.

For F33A CE-613 through CE-771, except CE-748, and F33C CJ-105 through CJ-148, the manual refers to the separate Bonanza Wiring Diagram Manual P/N 35-590102-7, which is not included.

Flight Controls, Flaps, and Wing Structure

Control-surface balancing instructions distinguish the elevator serial break and cover checks after repainting or repair. Temperature Cable Tension Graphs support rigging, while trim-actuator drawings distinguish serial groups and aircraft fitted with kits 33-4002-1 or 33-4002-3. These distinctions help identify the correct actuator construction before disassembly or replacement.

Flap motors used from CE-683 and CJ-129 are not interchangeable with earlier units, and the manual specifies replacement when major overhaul is required. Temporary Revision No. 4-2, dated November 15, 1993, updates the flap drive cable connection.

Station diagrams, skin-plating thicknesses, and Fuselage Access Openings support structural work. Wing-bolt tables identify hardware, special wrenches, torque adapters, and wet-torque requirements.

The inspection section covers magnetic-particle testing and spar-cap corrosion. It also warns that spinning a spar hinge pin with a drill can cause the pin to seize and break.

Continental Engines and Fuel Systems

The IO-470 and IO-520 material includes a Fuel Flow Chart and engine fuel-pump adjustment data. Propeller-governor removal and installation are covered; engine overhaul, detailed fuel-injection component service, and propeller/governor adjustment refer to separate vendor publications.

Fuel-cell instructions distinguish baffled cells and reservoir-equipped cells. Interchanging the longer probe/strainer assembly from a nonbaffled reservoir cell into a baffled cell can damage the cell.

Landing Gear and Brake Repair

Gear coverage includes motor installation, indicator adjustment, and limit-switch sequencing with landing-gear circuit tester 35-590063. Basic landing-gear rigging refers back to the Bonanza 35 Shop Manual.

Brake coverage separates early Cleveland, Beech ring-disc, and later installations. Bleeding and wear checks are included; disassembly/reassembly and relining for the specified multi-disc and later Cleveland installations refer to separate supplementary publications.

Paramount and Gerdes master cylinders have their own illustrated overhaul procedures.

Electrical Diagnosis and System References

New-Matic troubleshooting separates roll-axis and pitch-axis faults, with references to test set TS-108. Standby-generator and alternator charts relate symptoms to probable causes; the Bullock Power Supply Schematic supports converter and trigger-circuit diagnosis.

The Electrical Utilization Load Chart distinguishes continuous and intermittent loads. The Pitot and Static System diagram documents instrument plumbing, and the Air Conditioning System Schematic accompanies cooling-system tests and component service.

For flight-control, landing-gear, and fuel-system work, certified mechanics must consult the complete OEM documentation before making adjustments or repairs.

Examples of Brake and Flap-Track Wear Limits

These examples show a small selection of the inspection limits provided in the manual.

For single-disc brakes on CD-1272 and later and CE-301 and later aircraft, the specified disc replacement thickness is 0.330 inch.

The flap-track section allows 0.032 inch of wear on the bearing surfaces, resulting in a maximum track-slot dimension of 0.785 inch.

PDF Navigation and Included Pages

Search and diagram detail: Searchable text and embedded section/topic bookmarks are included. OCR errors affect some searches. Small wiring labels require zooming, and some crowded wire codes in the general wiring diagram remain difficult to distinguish.

One printable PDF contains 340 pages. That total includes six opening publication/revision pages, 16 section-divider pages, a one-page Section 4 revision record, the one-page Temporary Revision No. 4-2, one blank page, and a second, rotated copy of the New-Matic autopilot overview.
