J NOTES
1. Refer to the last card of the Piper Parts Price List - Aerofiche for a checklist of current revision dates
to Piper inspection reports and manuals.
2. All inspections or operations are required at each of the inspection intervals as indicated by a (O). Both
the annual and 100 hour inspections are complete inspections of the airplane, identical in scope, while
the 500 and 1000 hour inspections are extensions of the annual or 100 hour inspection, which require a
detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or replacement of some major components.
Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA.
3. Piper service bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory.
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
(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. Intervals between oil changes can be increased as much as 100% on engines equipped with full flow
cartridge type, oil filters provided the element is replaced each 50 hours of operation. Refer to latest revision
of Textron Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 480.
7. Replace at engine overhaul or 5 years, whichever comes first. (For engine overhaul, refer to latest revision
of Lycoming Service Letter L201 and Lycoming Service Instruction 1009.)
8. Replace flexible oil lines at engine TBO per latest revision Lycoming Service Bulletin 240 and latest
revision of Lycoming Service Letter L201B.
9. The compressor oil level should not be checked unless a freon leak has occurred, requiring an addition
of freon to the system.
CAUTION: Environmental regulations may require special equipment and
procedures be utilized when charging air conditioning system with freon.
10. Clean any traces of oil from the clutch surface.
11. At every 400 hours of engine operation, remove the rocker box covers and check for freedom of valve
rockers when valves are closed. Look for evidence of abnormal wear or broken parts in the area of the
valve tips, valve keepers, springs, and spring seats. If any indications are found, the cylinder and all of
its components must be removed (including the piston and connecting rod assembly) and inspected for
further damage. Replace any parts that do not conform with limits shown in the latest revision for
Lycoming Service Table of Limits SSP1776.
12. 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 seep-
age 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.
