Issued: May 5, 1976 Reissued: April 27, 1984 Reissued: January 31, 2008 Member General Aviation Manufacturers Association PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PA-28-140/150/160/180/235, CHEROKEE SERIES 50 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL Jan 31/08 3 INTRODUCTION Piper Aircraft Corporation (Piper) takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient use from his airplane, and keeping the airplane in the best mechanical condition. To that end, Piper publishes a recurring maintenance schedule which is supplemented with Service Bulletins, Service Letters and Service Spares Letters as required. A. The Piper PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 and PA-28R-180/200 Cherokee Service Manual (P/N 753-586) constitutes the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 23, Appendix G. Therein, the Airworthiness Limitations are in Section I (and repeated herein, see page 13) and the Inspection Program is in Section III. B. The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 Cherokee Series is available in two forms: (1) an Annual / 100 Hour Inspection Program, which is provided in Section III of the service manual (and is available separately as P/N 230-207); and, (2) this Progressive (50 Hour) Inspection Program. NOTE: This inspection manual is not a stand-alone document. It constitutes a snapshot of the Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) and is current only at the time of printing. Use it as follows: (1) Owners/operators desiring to establish a Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program (PIP) (see 91.409(d)) or a Part 135 Approved Aircraft Inspection Program (AAIP) (see 135.419) should use this manual as a template for submission to the appropriate FAA office. (2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP or AAIP can use this manual as a working check-off list/form, provided they verify its currency against the FAA-approved PIP or AAIP. C. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. These are sent to the latest U.S. registered owners and Piper Service Centers. D. 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 information. E. Service Spares Letters, which are sent only 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.

Description WARNING: FAILURE TO CONSULT APPLICABLE VENDOR PUBLICATION(S), WHEN SERVICING OR INSPECTING VENDOR EQUIPMENT INSTALLED IN PIPER AIRCRAFT, MAY RENDER THE AIRCRAFT UNAIRWORTHY. (SEE SERVICE MANUAL - INTRODUCTION - SUPPLEMENTARY PUBLICATIONS.) The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 Cherokee airplanes is provided herein as a 50 Hour Progressive Inspection Program. Successful compliance with this inspection program requires reference to the latest revision of the PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 and PA-28R-180/200 Cherokee Service Manual (i.e., the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)) available from your Piper Distributor as P/N 753-586. References to section (i.e., Section III) throughout this inspection manual are to the corresponding entries in the service manual. Piper Progressive Inspection Programs comply with the FAA Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 43, 91 and 135. The owner/operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives and conformity with the requirements in FAR 91.409, 91.411 and 91.413. The first overhaul or replacement of components should be performed at the given periods. The condition of various components can then be used as criteria for determining subsequent periods applicable to the individual airplane, depending on usage, providing the owner/operator has an established Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program (see 91.409(d)) or Part 135 Approved Aircraft Inspection Program (see 135.419). The time periods given for inspections of various components are based on average usage and environmental conditions. NOTE: The listed inspection, overhaul and replacement schedules do not guarantee that a particular item or component will reach the listed time without malfunction. Unique operating conditions encountered by individual airplanes cannot be controlled by the manufacturer. 2. Definitions A. Inspections - Must be performed only by Certified Mechanics who are qualified on this aircraft, using acceptable methods, techniques and practices to determine physical condition and detect defects. (1) Routine Inspection - Consists of a visual examination or check of the aircraft and its components and systems without disassembly. (2) Detailed Inspection - Consists of a thorough examination of the appliances, the aircraft and the components and systems with such disassembly as is necessary to determine condition. (3) Special Inspection - Involves those components, systems or structure which by their application or intended use require an inspection peculiar to, more extensive in scope or at a time period other than that which is normally accomplished during the event inspection. B. Checks - Can be performed by pilots and/or mechanics who are qualified on this aircraft and consist of examinations in the form of comparisons with stated standards for the purpose of verifying condition, accuracy and tolerances. C. Approved Inspection - Means a continuing airworthiness inspection of an airplane and its various components and systems, at scheduled intervals, in accordance with procedures approved by the FAA under FAR Part 91.409(d) or Part 135.419. PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PA-28-140/150/160/180/235, CHEROKEE SERIES 50 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL 16 Jan 31/08 D. Tests - Operation of aircraft components, appliances or systems to evaluate functional performance. (1) Operational Test - A task to determine that an item is fulfilling its intended purpose. The task does not require quantitative tolerances. This is a fault finding task. (2) Functional Test - A quantitative check to determine if one or more functions of an item performs within specified limits. This test may require the use of supplemental bench test equipment. (3) In addition, each of the above tests must be performed by an FAA Certified Repair Station with appropriate ratings or by a Certified Mechanic who is qualified on this aircraft. The recording of the above function must be made in the permanent aircraft records by the authorized individual performing the test. E. Bench Test - Means removal of component from the aircraft to inspect for cleanliness, impending failure, need for lubrication, repair or replacement of parts and calibration to at least the manufacturers specifications using the manufacturers recommended test equipment or standards or the equivalent. Each bench test will be performed by a Piper Service Center, FAA Certified Repair Station with appropriate rating or by a certified mechanic. This test will be performed at the scheduled interval regardless of any bench test performed on a particular component while being repaired/overhauled before scheduled interval bench test. After the component is installed into the aircraft, an operational test of the component and its related system should be performed to ensure proper function. Serviceable parts that were issued to the component will be filed in the aircraft permanent records. The person performing the test must make appropriate entries in the aircraft’s permanent maintenance record. F. Maintenance - The word maintenance, as defined by FAR Part 1, means “inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.” G. On Condition Maintenance - A primary maintenance process having repetitive inspections or tests to determine the condition of units, systems, or portions of structure with regard to continued serviceability (corrective action is taken when required by item condition.) H. Time - as used in this manual. (1) Time-in-service for aircraft components, unless otherwise specified, is a cumulative total of flight hours or calendar time calculated from the time a new or overhauled component was first installed in any aircraft, and including: (a) the aircraft time that elapses from the initial installation to the first removal, if any; and, (b) the aircraft time that elapses from each subsequent installation to each subsequent removal, if any; or, (c) the calendar time elapsed since the installation. NOTE: Dates stamped on individual components at the time of manufacture are typically applied to determine shelf life - i.e. the maximum time allowed from manufacture/ assembly/cure until actually installed in an aircraft and are not relevant. Do not, however; ignore markings applied to life-limited parts when removed with time and/or cycles remaining on them. (2) Aircraft time, flight hours, or aircraft hours are the “Hobbs Time” shown on, or calculated from, the installed “Hour Meter.” PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PA-28-140/150/160/180/235, CHEROKEE SERIES 50 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL Jan 31/08 17 3.

Progressive Inspection Procedure The progressive inspection program cycle consists of four (4) 50 Hour Events, which provides for a complete aircraft inspection in 200 aircraft flying hours. The complete inspection cycle, Events (1), (2), (3) and (4), must be completed within twelve (12) calendar months. Each Event Inspection consists of a predetermined number of location inspections, both routine and detailed, as indicated below. The Event Inspections are conducted each 50 hours and must be done in sequence. Each Event Inspection will be conducted using an Event Inspection Work Sheet and, when completed, recorded in the Event Inspection Record. 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, must be deducted from the next 50 flying hours. Early compliance can be accomplished at the owner/operator’s discretion for convenience of scheduling. 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 Progressive Inspection Cycle Record and Sign-off Sheet which is the running log or current status of the aircraft’s inspections. A. Overview (1) Four (4) Event Inspections at 50 Hour Intervals.

Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information Aerofiche P/N 1753-755 for latest revision dates to Piper Inspection Reports/Manuals and the PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 and PA-28R-180/200 Cherokee Service Manual (P/N 753-586). References to paragraph or section are to the appropriate paragraph or section in the service manual. WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL. WHEN A NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON THE AIRPLANE, THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ICA PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS INTERFACE, OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR STRESSES ON ADJACENT STRUCTURES, THE PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED. 2. Inspections or operations are to be performed as indicated by a “O” at the 50 or 100 hour inspection interval. Inspections or operations (i.e. – component overhauls/replacements, etc.) required outside the 100 hour cycle are listed as special inspections in Section III. Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA. (a) The 50 hour inspection accomplishes preventive maintenance, lubrication and servicing as well as inspecting of critical components. (b) The 100 hour inspection is a complete inspection of the airplane, identical to an annual inspection. NOTE: A log book entry should be made upon completion of any inspections. 3. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. In all cases, see Service Bulletin/Service Letter Index P/N 762-332 or Service Bulletin/Service Letter Aerofiche Set P/N 1762-331 to verify latest revision. See also Table III-III. 4. Piper Service Letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful attention. 5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manuals (See Introduction, Supplementary Publications) for these airplanes. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manuals supersede or supplement the inspections outlined in this report. 6. In PA-150/160/180 S/N’s 28-1761 and up; and PA-28-235s: inspect teflon bushings and pins attaching top and bottom engine cowlings at nose for condition and security. Replace as required. 7. In PA-28-140 S/N’s 28-20001 thru 28-7225172; PA-28-150/160/180 S/N’s 28-03, 28-1 thru 28-7305012; PA-28-235 S/N’s 28-10001 thru 28-7310005; for airplanes which have not installed either Piper Kit No. 760-634V, 760-635V, 760-639V, or 760-640V per Piper Service Bulletin No. 360: conduct the Induction Air Inlet Duct and Alternate Heat Duct Inspection (See Section III, Special Inspections, Procedures). 8.

PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PA-28-140/150/160/180/235, CHEROKEE SERIES 50 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL 56 Jan 31/08 NOTES (Sheet 2 of 4) 10. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat 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 airplane 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 a while. This condition is neither harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder must be replaced. 11. Not used. CAUTION: ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES BE USED WHEN CHARGING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. 12. The compressor oil level should not be checked unless a refrigerant leak has occurred or system pressure has been released, requiring an addition of refrigerant to the system. 13. Clean any traces of oil from the clutch surface. 14. Examine cables for broken strands by wiping them with a cloth for their entire length. Visually inspect the cable thoroughly for damage not detected by the cloth. Replace any damaged or frayed cables. (a) See Section III, Special Inspections, Procedures, Control Cable Inspection, or the latest edition of FAA AC 43.13-1. (b) At fifteen (15) years time-in-service, begin Cable Fittings 100 Hour Special Inspection. See Section III, Special Inspections, Procedures, Control Cable Inspection. 15. In PA-28-140 S/N’s 28-20002 thru 28-26783 and 28-26945 thru 28-7125595; PA-28-150/160/180 S/N’s 28-1 thru 28-7105179: if fuel selector valve is difficult to rotate, inspect and lubricate valve per Fuel Selector Valve 400 Hour Inspection (see Section III, Special Inspections, Procedures). 16. Refer to Section XIV (Paragraphs 14-31 through 14-35) for condenser assembly rigging and adjustment. 17. Maintain cable tensions as specified in Surface Controls, Section V. 18. Sloshing of fuel tanks not approved. For airplanes with fuel tanks which have previously been sloshed, perform Sloshed Fuel Tank 100 Hour Inspection in Section IX. 19.
