 INTRODUCTION

—WARNING—
When servicing or inspecting vendor equipment installed in Piper
aircraft, it is the user’s responsibility to refer to the applicable ven-
dor publication.

The Piper Progressive Inspection meets the FAA progressive inspection requirements of Part 43, Part 91
and Circular A/C 135-3 for use in corporate transportation and personnel; i.e., air taxi purposes, air freight,
air mail, etc.

The Piper program provides for continuous aircraft inspection to assure greater availability of the aircraft
without sacrificing the airworthiness qualities desired during inspection periods. The following current
information shall be used in conjunction with this inspection program: Piper Aircraft and Textron Lycoming
maintenance manuals, service bulletins, service letters, service notes or instructions, Federal Aviation
Administration regulations, Airworthiness Directives, Aircraft Specifications or Data Sheets for airplane,
engines and propellers.

FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Every two weeks the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (ADs) that
apply to specific groups of aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied with within a time
limit set by the FAA. When an AD is issued, it is sent to the latest registered owner of the affected aircraft
and also to subscribers of the service. The owner should periodically check with his Piper Service Center
or A & P mechanic to see whether he has the latest issued AD against his airplane. The owner is solely
responsible for keeping up with ADs.

Piper Aircraft Corporation takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient use from
his airplane and keeping it in the best mechanical condition. Consequently, Piper Aircraft from, time to time,
issues Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters relating to the aircraft.

Refer to the last card of the Piper - Parts Price List - Aerofiche for a checklist of current revision dates to
Piper Inspection Reports and Manuals.

Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. These are
sent to the latest registered owners and Piper Service Centers.

Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are sent
to Piper Service Centers and sometimes directly to owners so they can properly service the aircraft and
keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful attention to the Service Letter infor-
mation.

Service Spares Letters, which are usually sent to Piper Service Centers, offer improved parts, kits and
optional equipment which were not available originally and which may be of interest to the owner.

An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest information to keep
his aircraft up to date.

Piper Aircraft Corporation has a Subscription Service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters and Service
Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as owners, pilots and mechanics at a
nominal fee, and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers. Owners residing outside of the United
States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper can seldom otherwise obtain the addresses of
foreign owners. Customer Services Support Manuals and revisions are available through a Piper Service
Center.

PROCEDURE MANUAL

The Piper Progressive Inspection meets the requirements of the Progressive Inspection Procedures as
outlined in the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 43, Part 91 and Advisory Circular A/C 135-3.

The purpose of the Piper Progressive Inspection is to allow maximum utilization of the aircraft, reduce
maintenance inspection cost, and maintain a maximum standard of continuous airworthiness.

Owners and operators of the Piper Navajo Series are reminded that certain requirements must be met
before the Piper Progressive Inspection Procedures can be utilized. These requirements are contained in
the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 43: Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding and
Alterations, and Part 91: General Operating and Flight Rules. Piper's PA-31, PA-31-300 and PA-31-325
Inspection Report, P/N 230 211 may be used to meet this requirement.

The inspection frequency used in the Piper Progressive Inspection is based on previous Piper Piper's PA-
31, PA-31-300 and PA-31-325, Navajo series operating experience. However, should experience indicate
the need, adjustments to the inspection intervals can be made, provided prior notification and approval of
the local FAA General Aviation District Office is obtained.

Discrepancies found during inspections will be entered on the Discrepancy Report. The person conducting
the inspection will determine if the condition is of a nature that must be corrected during the inspection or
entered on the discrepancy report to be corrected at the next Event Inspection.

Equipment changes necessary as a result of work done on the Routine Inspection will be entered on the
Equipment Change Record (ECR) for equipment time control.

2. Event Inspections.
Each Event Inspection consists of a predetermined number of location inspections both routine and
detailed as indicated on each event sample. The Event Inspection is conducted each 50 hours and must be
done in sequence.
Late compliance with the Event Inspection Interval of 50 hours may be extended by not more than
five (5) flying hours (10% of Event Inspection Interval). The excess time, however, is included in computing
the next 50 flying hours of service.
Early compliance can be accomplished at the owner/operator’s discretion for convenience of sched-
uling. However, where early compliance is accomplished, the 50 flying hour interval for the next event
inspection will be maintained.
The Event Inspections are arranged so that the 200 flying hour cycle results in a complete inspection.
When the Four Events are complete and recorded, an entry is made in the Cycle Record which is the run-
ning log or current status of the aircraft inspections.
Each event will be recorded in the event record.

5. Inspections given for power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operators manual
(Lycoming Part No. 60297-10). Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operators manual
shall supersede or supplement the instructions outlined in this report. Occasionally, service bulletins or
service instructions are issued by Textron Lycoming Division that require inspection procedures that are
not listed in this manual. Such publications usually are limited to specific models and become obsolete
after corrective steps have been accomplished. All such publications are available from Textron
Lycoming distributors, or from the factory by subscription. Consult the latest revision of Textron
Lycoming Service Letter L114 for subscription information. Maintenance facilities should have an
up-to-date file of these publications available at all times.
6. Refer to Piper Service Bulletin 822.
7. Refer to Lycoming Service Bulletin 469.
8. See Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 480, latest revision.
9. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat which is indicated by burned paint on the cylinders. This
condition is indicative of internal damage to the cylinder and, if found, its cause must be determined
and corrected before the aircraft is returned to service.
Heavy discoloration and appearance of seepage at the cylinder head and barrel attachment area
is usually due to emission of thread lubricant used during assembly of the barrel at the factory, or by
slight gas leakage which stops after the cylinder has been in service for awhile. This condition is nei-
ther harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage
exceeds these conditions, the cylinder should be replaced.
10. Refer to VSP 69.
11. Replacement or inspection of gears in D-3200 series pressurized (blue) magnetos. (Refer to latest
revision of Lycoming Service Bulletin 459.)

This section contains inspections required in addition to the normal event schedule; when the aircraft is
operated continuously in adverse environmental conditions or subjected to unusual incidents.
The special inspections required under adverse environmental operating conditions should be repeated at
intervals consistent with operating conditions.
Items indicated in this procedure are guidelines based on past operating experience. Each operator should
review his own operating conditions and react accordingly to keep his aircraft airworthy.

NOTE
A log book entry should be made upon completion of these inspections.

SEVERE TURBULENCE, HARD OR OVERWEIGHT LANDING

Inspection for damage in the event of any of the following conditions requires the same procedure,
therefore, these procedures are placed in the same section. Remember that minor superficial damage
may indicate a more severe condition somewhere else in the structure.
1. The aircraft should be placed in a normal level attitude.
2. A preliminary inspection consisting of checking alignment or obvious out of track condition of
nacelles, engines, wings, tail, landing gear and doors should be made.
3. The following items should be inspected closely to determine the extent of damage.
4. Piper and Textron-Lycoming maintenance manual procedures should be followed. If there are any
questions as to the repairs or procedure contact the Piper Aircraft Corporation Service
Department.
