(22) CAST MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUT CYLINDER 100 HOUR INSPECTION
In PA-32-260s, for airplanes which have not installed the improved forged main landing gear
strut cylinders (P/N 65489-002) on both left and right main gear,
each 100 hours, or annually,
whichever comes first, inspect as follows:
NOTE: Installation of forged main landing gear strut cylinders (P/N 65489-002) on both left
and right main gear eliminates this repetitive inspection requirement.
(a) Thoroughly clean the area to be inspected as indicated in Figure 3-19 using a suitable
cleaner.
(b) Using a 10X power magnifying glass, visually inspect the gear cylinder top and bottom
radii at the torque link attach lugs for cracks (Ref. Figure 3-19). If no cracks are found by
visual inspection, proceed to Liquid Penetrant Inspection per latest revision of AC 43.13-1
to check for cracks. Strip the paint and primer from the area to be inspected using a
commercially available chemical paint stripper taking care only to remove paint and
primer from the inspection area.
(c) If a crack is detected, prior to further flight, replace the "cast" main gear strut cylinder
with the "forged" main gear strut cylinder per paragraphs 6-13 thru 6-19. Installation of
the "forged" main gear strut
cylinder in both the right hand and
left hand gear position eliminates
the need for the 100 hr repetitive
inspection requirement for the
aircraft.
(d) If no cracks are detected,
thoroughly clean the surfaces and
touch-up paint and primer removed
during the inspection process.
(e) Make an appropriate logbook entry
indicating completion of this
inspection.
