Assignment of Subject Material This publication is divided into industry standard, three element, numeric subject groupings as follows: A. System/Chapter - The various groups are broken down into major systems such as Environmental Systems, Electrical Power, Landing Gear, etc. They are assigned a number, which becomes the first element of the standardized numbering system. Thus, the element “28” of the number 28-40-01 refers to the chapter “Fuel”. Everything concerning the fuel system will be covered in this chapter. B. Sub-System/Section - The major systems/chapters of an airplane are broken down into subsystems. These sub-systems are identified by the second element of the standard numbering system. The element “40” of the number 28-40-01 concerns itself with the indicating section of the fuel system. C. Unit/Subject - The individual units within a sub-system/section may be identified by the third element of the standard numbering system. The element “01” of the number 28-40-01 is a subject designator. This element is assigned at the option of the manufacturer and is normally zeroed out by PIPER. Refer to paragraph 14, Chapter/Section Index Guide, for a complete breakdown and list. The material is arranged in ascending numerical sequence. 6. Pagination The Chapter - Section (i.e. - 28-40-00) numbering system (explained above) forms the primary page numbering system for this manual. Within each Section, pages are numbered consecutively beginning with Page 1 (i.e. - 28-40-00, Page 1). Additionally, the aerofiche grid numbering system (explained below) is also used to indicate location within the manual. 32 32 001 TYPE CERTIFICATE DESIGNATION MODEL CODE 32 = PA-32-301FT 6X 55 = PA-32-301XTC 6XT SEQUENCE NUMBER THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 3 Feb 19/04 1A11 INTRODUCTION 7. Aerofiche Effectivity A. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) have developed specifications for microfiche reproduction of aircraft publications. The information compiled in this Aerofiche Maintenance Manual will be kept current by revisions distributed periodically. These revisions will supersede all previous revisions and will be complete Aerofiche card replacements and shall supersede Aerofiche cards of the same number in the set. The “Aerofiche Effectivity” page at the front of this manual lists the current revision for each card in this set. B. Conversion of Aerofiche alpha/numeric grid code numbers: First number is the Aerofiche card number. Letter is the horizontal row reference per card Second number is the vertical column reference per card. Example: 2J16 = Aerofiche card number two, row J, column 16. C. To aid in locating information, the following is provided at the beginning of each aerofiche card: (1) A complete Introduction containing the Chapter/Section Index Guide for all fiche in this set. (2) A complete subject Index for all fiche in this set. 8. Identifying Revised Material A revision to a page is defined as any change to the printed matter that existed previously. Revisions, additions and deletions are identified by a vertical line (i.e. - change bar) along the left- hand margin of the page opposite only that portion of the printed matter that was changed. A change bar in the left-hand margin opposite the footer (i.e. - chapter/section/subject, page number and date), indicates that the text was unchanged but the material was relocated to a different page. Example. NOTE: Change bars are not used in the title pages, list of effective pages, or index. 9. Indexing An alphabetically arranged subject Index follows this introduction to assist the user in locating desired information. In addition, each System/Chapter begins with an individual Table of Contents. 10. List of Effective Pages Each System/Chapter has a List of Effective Pages preceding the Table of Contents to identify the effective revision date for each page in that chapter. 11. Warnings, Cautions and Notes These adjuncts to the text are used to highlight or emphasize important points when necessary. Warnings call attention to use of materials, processes, methods, procedures or limits which must be followed precisely to avoid injury or death to persons. Cautions call attention to methods and procedures which must be followed to avoid damage to equipment. Notes call attention to methods which make the job easier. Warnings and Cautions shall be located directly above and Notes directly beneath the text and be in line with the paragraphs to which they apply. 12. Accident/Incident Reporting To improve our Service and Reliability system and aid in our compliance with FAR 21.3, knowledge of all incidents and/or accidents must be reported to Piper immediately. To expedite and assist in reporting all incidents and accidents, Piper Form 420-01 has been created. See Service Letter 1041 for latest revision. This procedure is to be used by all Dealers, Service Centers and Repair Facilities. THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 4 Jun 1/03 1A12 INTRODUCTION 13.

PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 1 Jun 1/03 1C15 5-00-00 GENERAL The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (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 recurring maintenance schedules for the PA-32-301FT 6X and PA-32-301XTC 6XT are provided in 5-20-00. B. 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. C. 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. D. 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. NOTE: Piper mails Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and P.O.H. Revisions to the registered owner’s name and address as shown on the Aircraft Registration Certificate. If the aircraft is based and/or operated at a different location (or locations) and/or by a person (or persons) other than those recorded on the aircraft registration, then the registered owner(s) is responsible for forwarding these Bulletins and Letters to the operating location(s) or person(s). Changes in aircraft registration may take a substantial amount of time to be recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration and received by Piper to change the mailing address. Owners and operators should make arrangements to keep abreast of service releases during this interim period through their Piper Service Center. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that apply to specific aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied 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 is solely responsible for being aware of and complying with airworthiness directives. NOTE: A searchable database of AD’s is available on the FAA website. See the “Airworthiness DIrectives” link at “www1.faa.gov”. Additionally, Avantext offers a free email notification service for new AD’s as well as the last six weeks worth of AD’s at “www.avantext.com”. An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest information to keep his aircraft up to date. The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. has a subscription service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters.

(See Chapter/Section Index Guide, Introduction.) WARNING: GROUND THE MAGNETO PRIMARY CIRCUIT (P LEAD), BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION ON THE ENGINE. 1. 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 INTRODUCTION - SUPPLEMENTARY PUBLICATIONS.) The recurring maintenance schedules for the PA-32-301FT 6X and PA-32-301XTC 6XT are provided herein as Annual / 100 Hour Inspections. Progressive Inspection Programs will be available from Piper Dealers in a separate manual form. Piper inspection programs comply with the F.A.A. 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 these 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 aircraft, appliance, component, or system; with disassembly as 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 an event or annual inspection. B. Checks - Can be performed by pilots and/or mechanics who are qualified on this aircraft and consists 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 component and systems at scheduled interval in accordance with procedures approved by the FAA under FAR Part 91.409(d) or Part 135.419. THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 2 Feb 19/04 1C20 5-20-00 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 check 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.” THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 3 Feb 19/04 1C21 5-20-00 3. Inspection Requirements 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. A. Annual / 100 Hour Inspection. (See paragraph 4.) Owners/operators may maintain the airplane solely under FAR 91.409 (a) and (b) inspection requirements. The 100 hour inspection cycle is a complete inspection of the airplane and is identical in scope to an annual inspection. The 500 and 1000 hour inspection cycles are extensions of the 100 hour inspection which require a more detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or replacement of some major components. Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA. B. Progressive Inspection. The Progressive Inspection program is designed to permit the best utilization of the aircraft through the use of a planned inspection schedule. This schedule is prepared in a manual form, which will be available from Piper Dealers: P/N 767-027 (pending) for the 6X (S/N’s 3232001 & up), and P/N 767-028 (pending) for the 6XT (S/N’s 3255001 & up). Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information Aerofiche P/N 1753-755 for a checklist to ensure obtaining latest issue. NOTE: The 50 Hour Progressive Inspection Manuals (P/N’s 767-027 and 767-028) referenced above will not be stand-alone documents. They will consitute snapshots of the Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) and will be current only at the time of printing. Use them 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 the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a template for submission to their regional FAA office. (2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP or AAIP can use the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a working check-off list/form, provided they verify its currency against the FAA-approved PIP or AAIP. C. Overlimits Inspection. If the airplane has been operated so that any of its components have exceeded their maximum operational limits, special inspections may be required by Piper and/or the component manufacturer. See 5-50-00 and applicable vendor publications. THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 4 Feb 19/04 1C22 5-20-00 4. Annual / 100 Hour Inspection Procedure A.

Scheduled Maintenance - PA-32-301FT Piper 6X (S/N’s 3232001 & up) (continued) THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL PAGE 14 Feb 19/04 1D8 5-20-00 J. NOTES 1. Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information Aerofiche P/N 1753-755 for latest revision dates to Piper Inspection Repor ts/Manuals and this maintenance manual. References to Chapter/Section are to the appropriate Chapter/Section in this 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 5-30-00. 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 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. 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 manual ( Textron Lycoming Part No. 60297-10 ) for this airplane. Any changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual shall supersede or supplement the inspections outlined in this report. 6. Overhaul as required and at engine overhaul. In no case may Slick 6300 series magneto's time-in-service exceed engine TBO. 7. Refer to latest revision of Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 480. 8. 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.

CAUTION: ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES BE USED WHEN CHARGING AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. 9. 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. 10. Clean any traces of oil from the clutch surface. 11. 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 27-00-00, 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 27-00-00). 12. Maintain cable tensions specified in Chapter 27. 13. Check torque at forward and aft spar attach per 57-40-00, Figure 1. 14. Sloshing of fuel tanks not approved. 15. Refer to Section 4 of the Pilot's Operating Handbook for preflight and flight check list. 16. Refer to Pilot's Operating Handbook Supplement for preflight and flight check and for intended function in all modes. 17. Refer to 21-50-00, Condenser Assembly Rigging, and verify/check microswitch adjustment. THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC.
