PA-34-200T, SENECA II
50 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Piper Aircraft Corporation (Piper) takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient
use from his airplane, and keeping the airplane in the best mechanical condition. To that end, Piper
publishes a recurring maintenance schedule which is supplemented with Service Bulletins, Service
Letters and Service Spares Letters as required.
A. The Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II Service Manual (P/N 761-590) constitutes the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 23,
Appendix G. Therein, Section III contains the Inspection Program and the Airworthiness Limitations
are in Section I (and repeated herein, see page 13).
B. The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-34-200T Seneca II is available in two forms:
(1) an Annual / 100 Hour Inspection Program, which is provided in Section III of the service
manual (and is available separately as P/N 230-856); and,
(2) this Progressive (50 Hour) Inspection Program.
NOTE: This inspection manual is not a stand-alone document. It constitutes a snapshot of the
Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA) and is current only at the time of printing. Use it as follows:
(1) Owners/operators desiring to establish a Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program
(PIP) (see 91.409(d)) or a Part 135 Approved Aircraft Inspection Program (AAIP)
(see 135.419) should use this manual as a template for submission to the
appropriate FAA office.
(2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP
or AAIP can use this manual as a working check-off list/form, provided they verify
its currency against the FAA-approved PIP or AAIP.
C. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory.
D. Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the affected aircraft.
Owners should give careful attention to service letter information so they can ensure their airplane
is properly serviced and kept up to date with the latest changes.
E. Service Spares Letters offer improved parts, kits and optional equipment which were not originally
available. These may be of interest to the owner.
F. Service Bulletins, Service Letters and Service Spares Letters are emailed to Piper Dealers/Service
Centers. Owners are encouraged to download these service publications from http://www.piper.com/.
NOTE: Piper mails flight manual (AFM / POH) revisions to the registered owner’s name and
address as shown on the Aircraft Registration Certificate. If the aircraft is based and/or
operated at a different location (or locations) and/or by a person (or persons) other than
those recorded on the aircraft registration, then the registered owner(s) is responsible for
forwarding these to the operating location(s) or person(s).
Changes in aircraft registration may take a substantial amount of time to be recorded by
the Federal Aviation Administration and received by Piper to change the mailing address.
Owners and operators should make arrangements to keep abreast of flight manual
revisions during this interim period through their Piper Dealer/Service Center.
Jul 31/09 3
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that apply to
specific aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied within a time limit set by the
FAA. When an AD is issued, it is sent to the latest registered owner of the affected aircraft and also
to subscribers of their service. The owner is solely responsible for being aware of and complying
with airworthiness directives.
NOTE: A searchable database of AD’s is available on the FAA website. See the “Airworthiness
Directives” link at “www1.faa.gov”. Additionally, Avantext offers a free email notification
service for new AD’s as well as the last six weeks worth of AD’s at “www.avantext.com”.
Owners should periodically check with a Piper Dealer/Service Center to find out the latest
information to keep his aircraft up to date.
Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters are also available by subscription to
the Avantext TechPubs Maintenance Libraries for Piper Aircraft (see www.Avantext.com).

PROCEDURE
1. Description
WARNING: FAILURE TO CONSULT APPLICABLE VENDOR PUBLICATION(S), WHEN SERVICING
OR INSPECTING VENDOR EQUIPMENT INSTALLED IN PIPER AIRCRAFT, MAY
RENDER THE AIRCRAFT UNAIRWORTHY. (SEE SERVICE MANUAL - INTRODUCTION -
SUPPLEMENTARY PUBLICATIONS.)
The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-34-200T Seneca II is provided herein as a 50 Hour
Progressive Inspection Program. Successful compliance with this inspection program requires reference
to the latest revision of the PA-34-200T Seneca II Service Manual (i.e., the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA)) P/N 761-590 available exclusively by subscription from Avantext, Inc. References to
Paragraph (i.e. - paragraph 2-67) or Section (i.e., Section III) throughout this inspection manual are to
the corresponding entries in the service manual - with the exception of Section III, paragraph 8, which is
reproduced herein as the Special Inspections Work Sheet.
Piper Progressive Inspection Programs comply with the FAA Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 43, 91
and 135. The owner/operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy
condition, including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives and conformity with the
requirements in FAR 91.409, 91.411 and 91.413.
The first overhaul or replacement of components should be performed at the given periods. The
condition of various components can then be used as criteria for determining subsequent periods
applicable to the individual airplane, depending on usage, providing the owner/operator has an
established Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program (see 91.409(d)) or Part 135 Approved Aircraft
Inspection Program (see 135.419).
The time periods given for inspections of various components are based on average usage and
environmental conditions.
NOTE: The listed inspection, overhaul and replacement schedules do not guarantee that a particular
item or component will reach the listed time without malfunction. Unique operating conditions
encountered by individual airplanes cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
2. Definitions
A. Inspections - Must be performed only by persons authorized by the FAA who are qualified on this
aircraft, using acceptable methods, techniques and practices to determine physical condition and detect
defects.
(1) Routine Inspection - Consists of a visual examination or check of the aircraft and its
components and systems without disassembly.
(2) Detailed Inspection - Consists of a thorough examination of the appliances, the aircraft and the
components and systems with such disassembly as is necessary to determine condition.
(3) Special Inspection - Involves those components, systems or structure which by their
application or intended use require an inspection peculiar to, more extensive in scope or at a
time period other than that which is normally accomplished during the event inspection.
B. Checks - Can be performed by pilots and/or mechanics who are qualified on this aircraft and consist
of examinations in the form of comparisons with stated standards for the purpose of verifying
condition, accuracy and tolerances.
C. Approved Inspection - Means a continuing airworthiness inspection of an airplane and its various
components and systems, at scheduled intervals, in accordance with procedures approved by the
FAA under FAR Part 91.409(d) or Part 135.419.
Jul 31/09 15
D. Tests - Operation of aircraft components, appliances or systems to evaluate functional performance.

(1) Operational Test - A task to determine that an item, is fulfilling its intended purpose.The task
does not require quantitative tolerances. This is a fault finding task.
(2) Functional Test - A quantitative check to determine, if one or more functions of an item
performs within specified limits. This test may require the use of supplemental bench test
equipment.
(3) In addition, each of the above tests must be performed by an FAA Certified Repair Station with
appropriate ratings or by a Certified Mechanic who is qualified on this aircraft. The recording of
the above function must be made in the permanent aircraft records by the authorized individual
performing the test.
E. Bench Test - Means removal of component from the aircraft to inspect for cleanliness, impending
failure, need for lubrication, repair or replacement of parts and calibration to at least the
manufacturers specifications using the manufacturers recommended test equipment or standards
or the equivalent.
Each bench test will be performed by a Piper Service Center, FAA Certified Repair Station with
appropriate rating or by a certified mechanic. This test will be performed at the scheduled interval
regardless of any bench test performed on a particular component while being repaired/overhauled
before scheduled interval bench test. After the component is installed into the aircraft, an
operational test of the component and its related system should be performed to ensure proper
function. Serviceable parts that were issued to the component will be filed in the aircraft permanent
records. The person performing the test must make appropriate entries in the aircraft’s permanent
maintenance record.
F. Maintenance - The word maintenance as defined by FAR Part 1, means “inspection, overhaul,
repair, preservation and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.”
G. On Condition Maintenance - A primary maintenance process having repetitive inspections or tests
to determine the condition of units, systems, or portions of structure with regard to continued
serviceability (corrective action is taken when required by item condition.)
H. Time - as used in this manual.
(1) Time-in-service for aircraft components, unless otherwise specified, is a cumulative total of
flight hours or calendar time calculated from the time a new or overhauled component was first
installed in any aircraft, and including:
(a) the aircraft time that elapses from the initial installation to the first removal, if any; and,
(b) the aircraft time that elapses from each subsequent installation to each subsequent
removal, if any; or,
(c) the calendar time elapsed since the installation.
NOTE: Dates stamped on individual components at the time of manufacture are typically
applied to determine shelf life - i.e. the maximum time allowed from manufacture/
assembly/cure until actually installed in an aircraft and are not relevant.
Do not, however; ignore markings applied to life-limited parts when removed with time
and/or cycles remaining on them.
(2) Aircraft time, flight hours, or aircraft hours are the “Hobbs Time” shown on, or calculated from,
the installed “Hour Meter.”

VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED.
A. Progressive Inspection Program
The Piper Progressive Inspection Program complies with the FAA Federal Aviation Regulations
(FAR) Parts 43, 91 and 135 for progressive inspections. The owner/operator is primarily responsible
for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition, including compliance with all applicable
Airworthiness Directives and conformity with the requirements in FAR 91.409, 91.411 and 91.413.
The complete cycle inspection consists of four (4) 50 Hour Events, which provides for a complete
aircraft inspection in 200 aircraft flying hours. The complete inspection, Events (1), (2), (3) and (4),
must be completed within twelve (12) calendar months. Inspections must be accomplished by
persons authorized by the FAA.
The Progressive Inspection Program is designed to permit best utilization of the aircraft through the
use of a planned inspection schedule. This schedule is contained herein (i.e., paragraph 4). Refer to
the Piper Customer Service Information File (P/N 1753-755) revision checklist to ensure you have
the latest issue.
NOTE: This publication, the PA-34-200T Seneca II 50 Hour Progressive Inspection Manual (P/N
761-592), is not a stand-alone document. The Progressive Inspection Manual constitutes a
snapshot of the Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) and is current only at the time of printing. Use it as follows:
(1) Owners/operators desiring to establish a Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program
(PIP) (see 91.409(d)) or a Part 135 Approved Aircraft Inspection Program (AAIP) (see
135.419) should use this publication as a template for submission to the appropriate
FAA office.
(2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP or
AAIP can use this publication as a working check-off list/form, provided they verify its

B. Overlimits Inspections
If the airplane has been operated so that any of its components have exceeded their maximum
operational limits, special inspections may be required by Piper and/or the component
manufacturer. See Section III, Unscheduled Maintenance.
Jul 31/09 17
4. Progressive Inspection Procedure

The progressive inspection program cycle consists of four (4) 50 Hour Events, which provides for a
complete aircraft inspection in 200 aircraft flying hours. The complete inspection cycle, Events (1), (2),
(3) and (4), must be completed within twelve (12) calendar months.
Each Event Inspection consists of a predetermined number of location inspections, both routine and
detailed, as indicated below. The Event Inspections are conducted each 50 hours and must be done in
sequence. Each Event Inspection will be conducted using an Event Inspection Work Sheet and, when
completed, recorded in the Event Inspection Record.
Late compliance with the Event Inspection Interval of 50 hours may be extended by not more than five
(5) flying hours (10% of Event Inspection Interval). The excess time, however, must be deducted from the
next 50 flying hours.
Early compliance can be accomplished at the owner/operator’s discretion for convenience of scheduling.
However, where early compliance is accomplished, the 50 flying hour interval for the next event
inspection will be maintained.
The Event Inspections are arranged so that the 200 flying hour cycle results in a complete inspection.
When the Four Events are complete and recorded, an entry is made in the Progressive Inspection Cycle
Record and Sign-off Sheet which is the running log or current status of the aircraft’s inspections.
