OPERATIONAL INSPECTION AND CHECKS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Perfonn an operational ground functional test of E.C.S .. See chapter 21 PA 42-1000 Maintenance Manual.
ENGINES
1. Perfonn a fault interrogation of the I.E.C. Personality Module
2. Perfonn a N.T.S. system operational check
-NOTE-
Refer to Current Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) For Additional
Operational Inspections
UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS
These checks are required in addition to the nonnal or scheduled maintenance checks and whenever the
aircraft is operated in adverse environmental conditions or subjected to unusual incidents such as:
1. Operation in high dust or industrial pollution.
2. Operation in high salt or humidity environment.
3. Operation from soft or unusual terrain.
4. Operation in extreme cold.
5. Aircraft lightning strike.
6. Engine overspeed, overtorque or sudden stoppage.
7. Severe turbulence, hard or overweight landing.
8. Battery overtemp indication.
These checks are nonnally accomplished on a one time basis associated with each condition. Refer to the
Piper Progressive Inspection Manual, Part Number 761 790 (100 Hour Cycles) or 761 851 (50 Hour Cycles) for
detailed checks and record keeping fonns. These manual is available through the Piper Cheyenne Service Center.

INSPECTION OF FLEXIBLE HOSES
-NOTE-
During the manufacturing process, a condition known as "rubber
strike-through" occasionally occurs. This condition is such that
rubber material protrudes through the wire braid cover. This
condition has no effect on hose quality.
It is recommended that flexible hoses be inspected every 100 hours, especially those in the engine
compartments. When inspecting hoses, look for the following conditions:
1. Check each installation to be sure the hose is not kinked, twisted, or distorted. Check for evidence of
abrasion, cuts, and broken wires. Random broken wires are acceptable since wire breaks sometimes occur
during manufacture. Discard hose if two or more broken wires are found per plait (braid) or more than six
broken wires per lineal foot. Broken wires in an area where kinking is evident is also a cause for rejection.
-CAUTION-
PUNCTURING THE OUTER COVER OF THE HOSE MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOSE.
2. Check each assembly for deterioration, ply separation of cover or braid, cracks, weather checking, lack of
flexibility, blisters or bulging, collapse, or sharp bending. Blisters on the outer synthetic cover do not
necessarily indicate a faulty hose.
3. Remove hose from assembly if hose shows any visible wear. Inspect hose interior and check for signs of
deterioration, tube collapse, cut rubber, wire braid puncture, or restriction. To inspect hoses with elbow
fittings, use flexible inspection light and viewer, or inspection ball as described in chart 502. Replace hose
if any deterioration exists.
