It has seating for up to seven occupants and two separate luggage compartments. AIRFRAME Except for the steel used in the engine mount and landing gear, añd the-fiberglass used in such portibns as the nose and wing tips, the structural components of the airframe are made of aircraft aluminum alloy which has been heat treated and protected from corrosion. The airframe has been designed and- tested to a limit positive load factor of 3.8. The Seneca is not designed for acrobatic flight, and consequently aerobatics ar'è prohibited.--(il The fuselage is a conventional-semi-monocoqu-e_structure, which h9s a- front door on the right sidè,and irear door on the left. An additional large-size rear door, which facilitates the toãOing of large pieces of cargo, is available The wing is of conventional metal design using one main spar located at approximately 4O7o of the.chord afi of the leading edge, t g the flaps and ailerons and to assist in taking e mechanically operated by a four-position e provided to reduce landing speed and to give th o interconnected fuel tanks form an integral part of each wing. Both tanks on one side are filled through a single filler neck located well outboard of the engine nacelle. AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS REVISED: JUNE 14,1983 2-l SENECA The wings are atlached to each side of the fuselage by the butt ends of the main spars, which are bolted into a spar box carry through, an integral part of the fuselage structure. fhere are also fore and aft attachments at the rear spar and at an aux¡liary front spar. The empennage of the Seneca consists of a vertical stabilizer, a rudder, and a horizontal stabilator. The rudder has a trim tab capable of relieving the pilot of excessive pedal force during single-engine operation. The stabilator incorporates an anti-servo tab which improves longitudinal stability and provides longitudinal trim. This tab moves in the directiõn the stabilator moves but with increased travel. ENGINES The 400 total horsepo\Mer of the Sqneca engines makes possible a high cruise speed and excelle¡t ciimb performance. The aircraft is powered by'two four-cy-linder, Lt'coming, fuel-injected engines, each rated at 200 horsepowei at 2700 RPM. Aiymmetric rhrust ls eliminated during lake-off and climb by counter-rotation of the engines, the lefi engine rotating in a clockwise direction when viewed from the cockpit and the right engine rorarin! counterclOckwise. The engine compartments are easily accessible for inspection through top-hinged side panels on either side of the engine cowlings. The cowlings are cantilever stnictures, attached at the firewalls. Engine mounts are cons¡ructed of steel tubing, and dynafocat mounts are provided to reduce vibration. The exhaust system is a crossover type, with exhauSt gases directed outboard of the nacelles into muffler-heaters to minimize exhaust noise and provide heated aii for the cabin and def¡oster. The cowl flaps are löcated on the bottom of the engine nacelle and are manually operated by control levers below the throttle quadrant. The control levers have three positiónsi open, intermediate and closed. A lock, incorporated into each control lever, locks the cowl flap in tne selected position- To operate, depress the lock and move the control to the desired pôsition. Release the lock after initial moveinent of the control; the flap will then stop auromaiically in the next intermediate, open or ilosed position. The lock must be depressed foi each selectioí of cowl flap. An oil cooler for each engine is mounted on the forward side of the firewall. Air is picked uP by air scoops on the side of the cowl, passed through tþe oil cooler and ducted overbóard in the lower cowling. The fuel injection system reduces the possibility of induction system ice and provides better fuel distribution than does a carburetor system. Each engine is equipped with ã Bendix RSA-5 fuel injection system, which operates on the principle of meãiuring engine air consurnption and using the air flow to control fuel flow to the engine. Fuel pressuie regulation by means of a servo valve causes a minimal drop in fuel pressure throuChout the met"ring system. Metering pressure is maintained above vapor forming conditions, yei fuel inlet pressurã is low enough to allow lhe use of a diaphragm fuel pump. Thus vapor lock and asiociated problems of difficult starting are minimized.

The nose gear is.steerable through a 42-degree arc by use of the rudder pedals. As the gear retracts, the steering linkage disengages to reduce rudder pedal loads in flight änd the nose wheel straightens as it enters the wheel well. A €€ar centering spring, incorpoiareJ in thg nose gear steering system, prevenls any tendency to shimmy. The hydraulic reservoir for landing gear operation is an integral part of the gear hydraulic pumP- Acpess to th-e.combination pump and reservoir is th_rough-a panel in ìÀ" nor" úaggag" compartment. For filling instructions see the seneca service Manual. The three landing gear wheels are the same size - 6.00-6. The nose wheel has a 6-pty tire and the main gear has 8-ply ti¡es. Struts for nose and main gear are air-oil assemblies. The brake system, which incorporates a sì main gear sfrut, is designed to meet all normal short-field landing capabilities of the Seneca. y' of the landing gear hydraulic reservoir, i$ loc¿ baggage compartment.

The horizontal tail (stabilator) is of the all movable slab type, with an anti-servo tab which also acts as a longitudinal trim tab, actuated by a control mounted on the conirol tunnel between the two front séats- The stabilator provides stability and controllability with less size, drag and weight than the more conventional horizontal stabilizer-elevator combination. The ailerons are provided with a differential action and are tightly interconnected by springs with the rudder. ihis arrangement tends to eliminate adverse yaw in turning maneuveis and to reduce the amount of coordination required in normal turns. The flaps are manually extended, aerodynamically balanced for light operating forces and spring loadeä to return to ihe retracted position. The flap control lever is located between the fiont-seats on ihe floor. A button on the end of the lever must be depressed before moving the controt. A past center lock incorporated in the actuating linkage hotds th-e flap when it is in'the retracted päsition so that it may be used as a step on the dght side. Since the flap will not supporr a ìtep load except whrln in the fúll retracted positiori, it should be completely retractd *ñen people are entering and leaving the aircraft. The flaps have three extended posilions, l0' 25 and 40 degrees. AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS ISSUED: March lû,l972 Console 2-9 SENECA FUBL SYSTEM The Seneca fuel system offers Jwo 24-5 gallon aluminum lanks in each wing which are interconnected to eliminate probelms of tank selection and fuel management. Both tanks in each wing are filled with a single opening in the outboard tank, and fuel from the outboard tank flows into the inboard tank as the fuel from the inboard tank is consumed. The 98 gallon fuel capacity has only 2-ll2 unusable gallons on each side, making a total of 93 usable gallons. The fuel must to lO0/l3O octane (light green). An engine-driven fuel pump is the primary means of supplying fuel for each engine. An electric fuel pump, located on the aft side of the firewall, is provided for each engine as a back-up in case of engine-driven fuel pump failure. The electric pump should bc used during landings and take-offs to ensure sufficient fuel pressure in case of an engine{riven fuel pump failure during these portions of the flight sequence. Switches for the electric fuel pumps are conveniently located on the switch panel to the left of the pilot. In normal operation, each engine operates with an independent fuel system, drawing fuel from the tanks in the wing on the same.side as the engine. However, the two $ystems a¡e interconnected by crossfeed lines which will permit an engine to use fi¡el from the tanks on the opposite side in order to extend single-engine range and to enable the pilot to keep fuel weight balanced. \lfhen crossfeed has been used during single-engine cruise operation, prior to landing the fuel selector should be positioned so that fuel is used from the same side as the operating engine. The fuel selectors, located on the funnel between the pilot and the copilot seats, reflect the simplified fuel system- Each lever . has three positions: OFF, ON and CROSSF,EED. NOTE Do not operate wirh both fuel selectors on CROSSFEED. Do not take off with a selector on CROSSFEED. To permit the pilot to monitor the system, fuel pressure, fuel flow and fuel quantity gauges (a single fuel gauge for the two tanks in each wing) are mounted on the instrument panel, Fuel quantity sender units, one mounted in each fuel tank, transmit electrically the total quantity of fuel in each pair oftanks. A gascolator (fuel filter) is locaæd between the fuel selector valve and the electric fuel pump on each side. Quick drains are provided for. the fuel gascolators (2), fo¡ each fuel tank (4) ánd åach crossfeed line (2). Two fuel tank drains are located under each wing; crossfeed drains are located under the belly of the aircraft opposite the trailing edge of the right wing flap; gascolaror drains are on the inboard side of the engine nacelles, forward and below the leading edge of the wing. The vent system for the fuel tanks consists of a vent in each fuel cap, a vent interconnect between the tanks in each wing, and an overflow line from the top of each filler neck.

Electrical power is supplied by two 60-ampere alternators, one mounted on each engine. A 35 ampere-hour 12 volt battery provides cunent for starting, for use when the engines are not running, and for a source of stored electrical power to back up the alternator output. The battery, which is located in the nose section and is accessible through the forward baggage compartment, is normally kept charged by the alternators. If it becomes necessary to charge the battery, it should be removed from the airplane. An external power source plug is available as optional equipment, and when installed is located on the lower left side of the nose. While an external 12-14 voltpower source is being plugged in or unplugged, the master switch should be in the OFF position to prevent sparking. ftre máJter switch should be in the ON position, however, for engine starting with exæmal power. Two solid state voltage regulators'are provided to maintain effective load sharing while regulating the electrical system bus voltage to 14.0 volts.In each alternator cifcuit an overvoltage relay is provided to prevent electricãl damage to electrical and avionic equipment, by taking the alternator off the line if its output go.es above 14.0 volts. When this occurs, a red light located on the left side switch panel illuminates to indicate that the overvoltage relay has tripped. This is the only finction of this light; it does not necessarily come on for other failures of the alternator system. Voltage regulators and overvoltage relays are mounted on the forward side of the bulkhead at station 49.5 Circuit breakers are provided to protect equipment and the electical s)¡stem- These are located on the lower right hand instrument partel, and theie is room for additional ci¡cuit breakers if extra elect¡ical equipmenr is installed. A circuit breaker may trip automaticàlly in case of equipment malfunctions or a sudden surge of curren!. The pilot can then reset it by pushing it in (preferably afaer a few minutes cooling period). However, he cannot pull out a circuit breaker manually. Most of the electrical switches, includ-ing the master switch and those fo¡ the magnetos, fuel pumps, starter, alternators, lights and pítot heat, are conveniently located on the switch panel to the left of the pilot. A press switch near the top of the alternator-master switch panel turns on a light which is wired around the master switch and which permits the pilot to inspect the panel at night before turning on the master switch. The alternator system has rhe aàvantage of being able to produce rated electrical output at low engine speed. The pilot of the Seneca is provided with an e¡rsy means of monitoring electrical system operation with dual ammeters and overvoltage warning lights. An ammeter is provided for each alternator. This acts as'a load-meter, showing the amount of current being produced by the particular altemator. A zero readíng would indicate that the altemator was not producing current. An indication near 60 would show that the elect¡ical demand was taxing the alternator. In this case the pilot should turn off unnecossaÐr electrical equipment to reduce the current required. When operating on a single engine, the pilot should be on guard against demanding too much from the one operating alternator because an overloaded alternator may burn out or its circuit breaker may trip, AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS REVISED: MARCH 23,1979 2-12 SENECA @ #S*^ -î ffiiî ru AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS ISSUED: March tO'1972 2-13 SENECA texremil - -ì I POWER I suPPLy , I RIEHT ALlERI{ÂIOR SWITCH PANEL LIGHÎ :STARTER : SOLENOID RELÂYS Alternator and starrer schematic (ser.

If the sum of the two readings is significant, this is an indication that the battery has a low charge. The pilot should try to determine why it is low, and if no cause is apparent the condition of the battery and the elèctrical system should be checked by a mechanic. If during flight both alternators should fail, the battery becomes the only source of electrical pou,er. Therefore all unnecessary equipment should be turned off. How long the battery will be able to supply the necessary equipment depends on the current drain of the equipment, time it took the pilot to notice the dual failure and the condition of the battery. During night or ¡nstrument fliglit the pilot should continuously monitor the ammeters and warning lights so that he can take prompt borrective action if electrical malfunction occurs. Procedu¡es.for dealing wilh electrical malfunction are covered in the Airplane Flight Manual. VACUUM SYSTEM{. The directional gyros and attitude indicators are operated by air drawn from the cabin through a filter and the instruments to the engine nacelle by a vacuum system. The vacuum system consists of one vacuum pump installed on each engine, plus plumbing and regulating hardware. If a second set of gyro instruments is installed, a second filter will be added for these instruments. The instruments are protected by a yacuum regulator mounted on the right aft side of each firewall. The regulators maintain a vacuum of 5.0 t .l inches of mercury ar 2000 RPM. Suction is indicated by a vacuum gauge mounted to ihe left of the right control column.-A vacuum less than 4.5 indicates a'low'air flow through the gyro iristruments, with possibly inaccurate readings. Also incorporated in the system is a check valve, which is located behind the instrument panel on the upper right side of the baggage compartment bulkhead If suction is lost from either vacuum pump or from a leak in the hose of either side, the valve automatically closes and vacuum is supplied by orte pump. In this case, one of two red malfunction buttons appears on the face of the vacuum gauge, indicating that vacuum is not available from that side. Each pump alone has sufficient capacity to operate a dual set of gyro instruments up to a 12,500-foot altitude. When operating with a single vacuum pump above that altitude, a high RPM setting must be maintained to get adequate suction for dual flight instruments. Air filters are incorporated in the vacuum system to increase the life of the gyros. They are mounted behind the instrument panel in the upper corners of the baggage compartment and should be cleaned regularly- +Optional Equipment AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS REVISED: lryril26,l974 2-16 2â Eã i'3 ËisE (n c, É 3 (n () o 3 ô h)I \¡ VACUUH MANIFOID REGULATOR BEGULATOR VÀCUUM GÀGE LEFT ENGIHE BIGHT ET¡GIiIÊ VACUUM PUMP VACUUM PUMP u2 tll ztã o Þ SENECA INSTRUMENT PANEL The wide instrument panel of the Seneca offers sufficient sPace for two complete sets of flight instruments Plus engine Dual flight instruments are oP avionics permits an equiPment and avionics are grouPed in t inslrumenls and circuit breakers are located on instruments are conveniently separated by the control wheel shaft on the left side. In spite of the large instrument panel, over-tñe-nose visibility is good. A combination of white post lights (opìional) and red floodlights eilsure easy reading of the instruments at night. PITOT-STATIC SYSTEMS pitot (total) pressure for the airspeed indicator is sensed by the aluminum mast mounted under the left wing. Static pressure for the altimeter, vettical speed and airspeed indicators is sensed by two static pressure units, one located on each side of the rear part of the fuselage' Differenóes in static pt"ssute caused by a slip ot skid are balanced out by a connection of the two static sources inside the fuselage. The pitor mast can be equipped with a heating element to eliminate problems from ice or heavy raín. The static pressure sensors. are not heated becati.se experienqe indicates they are not likely to ice up. An alternate static'soi¡rce control vhlve is located below the instrument Panel, to the right of the power quadrant- When the valve is set to alternate position, the altimeter, vertical speed indicãtor and.airspeed indiiator will be using pressufe. These instruments may then give slightly different readings, on within the cabin. Airspeed, setting Öf the heating and ventilating the storm window can influence cabin pressure. A pilot can see how his alternate static pressure affects the instruments, by switching from one source to the other at different airspeeds and ventilation configurations (including open storm window below 150 MPH). The holes in the sensors for pitot and static pressure must be fully open and free from dirt, bugs and polish. If one or rnore of the pitot-static instruments malfunctions these pressure *yst"-r should be checked for leaks, dirt or water. If moistu¡e is present, the static system can bê drained by turning on the alternate static system. Thq selector valve is located at the low point of the sysrem. Another drain is provided in the lower left f¡ont side panel to drain moisture from the þressurè line running between the pitot mast and the instrument panel.

COMBUSTIOnN HEATER* An oplional Janitrol combustion heater installed in the afi fuseláge provides added air for cabin hcating and windshield defrosting. The combusrion heateî can be used to supplemenr the .standard muff-heater system. Operation of the combustion heater is controlled by a three position switch locared on a heater control console between the pilot's and copilot's seats, and labeled FAN. OFF, and HEATER. The "FAN" position will óperate the ventilation blower only and may be used for cabin ventilation or windshield defogging on the ground when heat is not desi¡ed. The defroster conlrol lever for the standard muff-heater s!'stem must be in the ..HI" position in order to energize the defroster blorver any time defrostiirg or defoggin-s is desired, with or without heat. *Optional Equipment AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS REYISED: December 20. 1972 2-20 SENECA For cabin heat, the air intake lever located on the heater control console must be Partial¡y or fully open and ihe three position switch set to "HEATER."

Applicability: Models PA-23,PA-23-l60,PA-23-235,PA-23-25O,PA-823-250, PA-30, PA-39, PA-40, PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-3t-325, PA-31-350, PA-3IP, PA-31T, PA-3lTl, PA-31T2, PA-3lP-350, PA-34-200, PA-34-200T, PA-34-220T,PA-42,P^-42-720, andPA42-1000 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificat'ed in any category. NOTE I : This AD. applies to each aþlane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been modified, altered, or repaired in the a¡ea subject to the requiiements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requiremeils of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (d) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it. Compliance: Required as follows, unless already accomplished: i. l. For all affected airplanes, except for Models PA-31P, PA-31T, PA-3lTl, PA-31T2, and PA-3IP-350 airplanes: Within 30 days after March 13,1997 (the effective date of AD 98-04-27). 2. For all Models PA-31P, PA-31T, PA-31T1, PA-31T2, and PA-3IP-350 airplanes: Within the next 30 days after the effective date of this AD. To minimize the potential bazards associated with operating the airplane in severe icing conditions by providing more clearly defined procedures and limitations associated with such conditions, accomplish the following: (a) At the applicable compliance time presented in the Compliance section of this AD, accomplish the , equirernents of paragraphs (aXl) and (a)(2) of this AD. NOTE 2: Operators should initiate action to nodry and ensure that flight crewmembers are apprised of this change. (l) Revise the FAA-approved Aþlane Flight Manual (AFM) by incorporating the following into the Limitations Section of the AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM. .(WARNING Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the aþlane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing dnzzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces. This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the airplane. o During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic Conúol to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the icing conditions. - Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and windshield in areas not normally observed to collect ice. - Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the protected area. - Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners farther afr than' normally observed. o Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral rim requirements or autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the airplane is in icing conditions.
