PROGRESSIVE 100 HOUR INSPECTION
A. Scheduled Maintenance
1. General Purpose Description
The Piper Progressive Inspection program complies with the F.A.A. Federal Aviation Regulations
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 91.169, 91.171 and 91.172.
The complete cycle inspection consists of two (2) 100 hour events, which provides for a complete
aircraft inspection in 200 aircraft flying hours. The complete inspection, events one and two must
be complied within twelve (12) calendar months.
Late compliance with the inspection interval of 100 hour may be extended by not more than ten
(10) hours while enroute and for changing an inspection interval because of service experience.
The time used to reach the next inspection facility must be deducted from the next inspection time.
The inspection programs are set up in manual form and are available from the Piper Cheyenne
Service Centers under Part Numbers 761 739 (100 Hour Events) and 761 760 (50 Hour Events).
Facts you should know:
Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Instructions are sent to the registered owner of the
affected aircraft.
The registered owners name and address are received by the Federal Aviation Administration
and used on the Aircraft Registration Certificate is the name and address that Piper Aircraft
uses to mail Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Instructions.
If the aircraft is based and/or operated at a different location and/or by persons other than those
recorded on the aircraft registration, then it is the responsibility of the bonafide owner(s) to
forward the above Bulletins and Letters to those locations or persons or to provide a separate
subscription service available from Piper Aircraft Corporation.
Changes in aircraft registration may take a substantial amount of time to be recorded on the
Federal Aviation Administration computer and received by Piper Aircraft to change the mailing
address. Owners and operators should make arrangements to keep abreast of service
releases in this interim period through their Piper Service Center.
Every two weeks the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives
(AD’s) that apply to specific groups of 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 the service. The owner
should periodically check with his Piper Service Center or A & P mechanic to see whether he
has the latest issued AD against his airplane. The owner is solely responsible for being aware
of and complying with airworthiness directives.
Piper Aircraft Corporation takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient
use from his airplane and keeping it in the best mechanical condition. Consequently, Piper
Aircraft periodically issues Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters
relating to the Aircraft.

The progressive inspection is recommended by Piper Aircraft Corporation and meets the
requirements outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations Part 43 and Part 91 Subpart C, paragraph
91.169(d).
The purpose of the progressive inspection is to allow maximum utilization of the aircraft, reduce
maintenance inspection cost and maintain a maximum standard of continuous airworthiness.
Owners and operators of the Piper Cheyenne III/IIIA are reminded that certain requirements must
be met before the progressive inspection procedures can be utilized. These requirements are
contained in the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 43 - Maintenance, Preventive Inspection,
Rebuilding and Alteration and Part 91 - General Operating and Flight Rules.
The inspection frequency used in the progressive inspection is based on previous turbo propeller
operating experience. However, adjustments to the inspection intervals can be made only by Piper
Aircraft Corporation. Any changes to this procedure by the owner or operator must be approved by
the local Federal Aviation Administration.
Discrepancies found during inspections will be entered on the Discrepancy Record. The person
conducting the inspection will advise the owner and/or operator of the discrepancies found during
the inspection and entered on the Discrepancy Record. Discrepancies which affect the
airworthiness of the airplane will require the necessary corrective action to be accomplished before
the airplane is returned to service.

2. Definitions (continued):
(h) Functional Test - This test is used to ascertain that system or component is functioning properly
and is in conformance with minimum acceptable design specifications. This test may require
the use of supplemental bench test equipment. In addition, each functional test 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.
(i) Bench Check - 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 Cheyenne 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 check must make appropriate entries in
the aircraft’s permanent maintenance record.
(j) Maintenance - The word maintenance as defined by FAR Part 1, means “inspection, overhaul,
repair, preservation and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.”
However, where reference in this inspection program the word “maintenance” means inspection
and the replacement of time life limited parts.
(k) Routine Inspections - Consists of a visual examination or check of the aircraft and its
components and systems without disassembly.
(l) Special Inspections - Involve 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
