FLAPS
A. Flap Operating Systems
Airplane serial numbers 32R-8013001 through 32R-8413024 (PA-32R-301). and serial numbers
32R-8029001 through 32R-8429028 (PA-32R-301T) are equipped with manually controlled flaps. The
flaps are extended by a control cable and are spring-loaded to the retract (up) position. The control is
located between the two front seats on the control console. Pulling the handle up will extend the flaps
to any one of three positions: 10°, 25°, or 40°. Handle detents are provided for these flap positions.. To
retract the flaps, depress the button on the end of the handle and lower the control.
Airplane serial numbers 32R-8513001 through 32R-8613005, and 3213001 and up (PA-32R-301), and
serial numbers 32R-8529001 through 32R-8629005, and 3229001 and up (PA-32R-301T) are
equipped with electrically operated flaps. A control lever and indicator light are located on the lower
right instrument panel. Selection of a new flap position will activate the flap motor and the light. When
the flaps reach the desired position, the flap motor is switched off automatically and the indictor light
goes out.
The flap control lever on airplane serial numbers 32R-8513001 through 32R-8513016 (PA-32R-301),
and 32R-8529001 through 32R-8529020 (PA-32R-301T) has three stops: 0°, 25°, and 40°.
The flap control lever on airplane serial numbers 32R-8613001 through 32R-8613005 and 3213001
and up (PA-32R-301), and 32R-8629001 through 32R-8629005 and 3229001 and up (PA-32R-301T),
have four stops: 0°, 10°, 25°, and 40°.
B Manually Operated Flaps
(1) Removal of Manually Operated Wing Flap Controls (Refer to Figure 26)
(a) To remove flap torque tube assembly:
1 Extend flaps to 40° position
2 Remove floor panel located aft of main spar by removing center seats, seat belt
attachments and screws securing panel. Lift panel and remove from airplane.
3 Remove access plate located between underside of aft section of each wing and fuselage
by removing attaching screws.
4 Disconnect left and right flap control tubes (rods) either:
a At the flaps by removing nuts, washers and bolts at the torque tube cranks (arms) or
by;
b. Removing bolts and washers from inner side of each crank. Remove bolt through a
hole in the fuselage side skin located over torque tube .
5 Disconnect flap tension spring at the spar or at aft end of control cable.
6 Grasp flap handle, release plunger, and allow handle to return to retracted position. Use
caution as forward pressure will be on handle with tension spring disconnected.
7 Disconnect flap return spring at spar or at return chain.
8 Disconnect control cable from chain by removing cotter pin, nut, and clevis bolt.
9 Remove tube support bearing blocks (Figure 25, references numbers 16 and 33) by
