3. Inspection Requirements
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER
APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL. WHEN A
NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON THE AIRPLANE,
THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION MUST BE
INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ICA PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE
STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS
INTERFACE, OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR
STRESSES ON ADJACENT STRUCTURES, THE PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE
VALID FOR AIRPLANES SO MODIFIED.
A. Annual / 100 Hour Inspection. (See paragraph 4.)
Owners/operators may maintain the airplane solely under FAR 91.409 (a) and (b) inspection
requirements. The 100 hour inspection cycle is a complete inspection of the airplane and is identical
in scope to an annual inspection. The 500 and 1000 hour inspection cycles are extensions of the
100 hour inspection which require a more detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or
replacement of some major components. Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized
by the FAA.
B. Progressive Inspection.
The Progressive Inspection program is designed to permit the best utilization of the aircraft through
the use of a planned inspection schedule. This schedule is prepared in a manual form, which will be
available from Piper Dealers:
P/N 767-027 (pending) for the 6X (S/N’s 3232001 & up), and
P/N 767-028 (pending) for the 6XT (S/N’s 3255001 & up).
Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information Aerofiche P/N 1753-755 for a checklist to ensure
obtaining latest issue.
NOTE: The 50 Hour Progressive Inspection Manuals (P/N’s 767-027 and 767-028) referenced
above will not be stand-alone documents. They will consitute snapshots of the
Airworthiness Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA) and will be current only at the time of printing. Use them 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 the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a template for
submission to their regional FAA office.
(2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP or
AAIP can use the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a working check-off
list/form, provided they verify its currency against the FAA-approved PIP or AAIP.
C. Overlimits Inspection.
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 5-50-00 and applicable vendor publications.
