100 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Piper Aircraft, Inc. (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-46-500TP Malibu Meridian Maintenance Manual (P/N 767-005) constitutes the
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) as required by Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)
Part 23, Appendix G. Therein Chapter 4 contains the Airworthiness Limitations section (4-00-00)
and the Inspection Program is in Chapter 5 (5-20-00).
B. The recurring maintenance schedule takes the form of a Progressive Inspection Program, which is
provided as section 5-20-00 of the maintenance manual and duplicated herein.
NOTE: This inspection manual is not a stand-alone document. It consitutes 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.
(3) Service centers conducting Part 91 Annual / 100 Hour Inspections (see paragraph 3C,
page 15) can use this manual as a working check-off list/form, provided they verify its
currency against an up-to-date copy of the ICA (i.e. - the PA-46-500TP Maintenance
Manual, Chapters 4 and 5).
C. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory.
These are sent to the latest U.S. registered owners and Piper Service Centers.
D. Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are
sent to Piper Service Centers and sometimes directly to owners, so they can properly service the
aircraft and keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful attention to the
service letter information.
E. Service Spares Letters, which are sent only to Piper Service Centers, offer improved parts, kits and
optional equipment which were not available originally and which may be of interest to the owner.
NOTE: Piper mails Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and P.O.H. 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 Bulletins and Letters 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 service releases
during this interim period through their Piper Service Center.

100 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL

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 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.
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”.
An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest information to keep
his aircraft up to date.
Piper Aircraft, Inc. has a subscription service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service
Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as owners, pilots, and mechanics at a
nominal fee and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers. Owners residing outside of the United
States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper cannot otherwise obtain the addresses of
foreign owners. Maintenance Manuals and Illustrated Parts Catalogs are also available through Piper
Service Centers and Distributors world wide.
NOTE: The maintenance manual, parts catalog, and service bulletins and letters can be ordered as a
set on CD-ROM (quarterly subscription or single copy) from Avantext. See www.avantext.com or

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 MAINTENANCE MANUAL -
INTRODUCTION - SUPPLEMENTARY PUBLICATIONS.)
The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-46-500TP Malibu Meridian is provided herein as a 100
Hour Progressive Inspection Program. Successful compliance with this inspection program requires
reference to the latest revision of the PA-46-500TP Airplane Maintenance Manual (i.e. - the Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)) available from your Piper Distributor as P/N 767-005. References to
section (i.e. - 55-10-00) and chapter (i.e. - Chapter 74) throughout this inspection manual are to the
corresponding entries in the maintenance manual - with the exception of 5-30-00 and 5-50-00, which are
reproduced herein as the Special Inspections Work Sheet and Unscheduled Maintenance Checks Work
Sheet, respectively.
Piper Progressive Inspection Programs comply with the F.A.A. 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 Certified Mechanics 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
consists 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
component and systems at scheduled interval in accordance with procedures approved by the FAA
under FAR Part 91.409(d) or Part 135.419.

PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC.
PA-46-500TP, MALIBU MERIDIAN
100 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL

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.”
(3) A complete “engine cycle” is defined as engine start, idle, takeoff, flight, landing, idle, and
shutdown. Many aircraft operations involve partial engine cycles (i.e. - idle, takeoff, flight,
landing, idle) that, with the application of an appropriate formula (see P&WC Service Bulletin
No. 3002), are also factored into the calculation of service life limits.
NOTE: The owner/operator is responsible for recording and calculating life limiting cycles.

100 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL

4. Progressive Inspection Procedure


The progressive inspection program cycle consists of two (2) 100 Hour Events, which provides for a
complete aircraft inspection in 200 aircraft flying hours. The complete inspection cycle, Events (1) and
(2), 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 100 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 100 hours may be extended by not more than ten
(10) flying hours (10% of Event Inspection Interval). The excess time, however, must be deducted from
the next 100 flying hours.
Early compliance can be accomplished at the owner/operator’s discretion for convenience of scheduling.
However, where early compliance is accomplished, the 100 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 both 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.
A. Overview

and a copy of this manual. The inspection will be conducted or supervised by one of the following:
(1) An appropriately certified repair station.
(2) An appropriately rated certified mechanic, qualified on this type aircraft.
The results of the inspection will be noted on the proper sign off sheets which are then brought
back to the home base. The pilot will be responsible for all inspection forms and work sheet entries
with mechanics and/or inspector’s signature and identification.
Discrepancies affecting the airworthiness of the airplane, when the airplane is away from the local
station, will be corrected by either 1 or 2, above. The pilot will be responsible for all work sheet
entries with mechanics and/or inspector’s signature and identification.
The pilot-in-command should also ascertain that the appropriate logbook entries have been made
in the aircraft and engine logbooks.
C. Program Responsibility
The person responsible for scheduling the inspections required under this program must fill out the
Program Responsibility form on page 7. Additionally, a copy of the sample Program Responsibility
form included later in this manual should be filled out and forwarded as an original to the local FAA-
FSDO office.
Any change in personnel responsible for scheduling the inspection program requires another copy
of the Program Responsibility form to be filled out and the original copy sent to the local FAA-FSDO
office, while a duplicate copy is attached behind the previous Program Responsibility form (i.e. -
page 7). The previous form should be retained and the word "CHANGED" should be written across
