and
include
inspection of
items which are required
to be examined
at intervals not
compatible
with airframe
operating
time or airframe
inspection intervals.
Typical of this
type are:
a. Inspections
required
because of
special conditions
or incidents
that arise,
and because
of
these conditions
or incidents,
an immediate
inspection
would be
required to
insure further
safe flight.

of airframe
or components on
a calendar basis.
This type of inspection
could often
be accomplished
during the
nearest scheduled
inspection.
c. Specific

engine
operating time.
d.

SYSTEM.
(Refer
to Figure
3-1 for PA-32RT-300
installations.)
A very
thorough
inspection
of the entire
exhaust system.
including
heat
exchange
shroud. (muffler
and muffler
baffles on
PA-32RT-300or
complete
tailpipe assembly
on PA-32RT-300T),
stacks
and all
exhaust connections
must
be accomplished
at each
100-hour
inspection.
The possibility
of exhaust
system
failure increases
with use.
It i's
recommended
that
the system
be checked
even more
carefully as
the number
of hours
increase:
for example
an inspection
at the 700-hour
period
would be more
critical
than one
in the 100-hour
period.
The system
should also
be checked carefully
before
winter operation
when the cabin heat will be in use.
NOTE
It is recommended
that
all airplanes
be
fitted with
a new
(muffler
PA-32RT-300
or
tailpipe
assembly
for
PA-
32RT-300T)
at or near
1000 hours
of service
life.
