PA-46-350P MALIBU MIRAGE - M350 / PA-46R-350T MALIBU MATRIX —5— FEBRUARY 21, 2020
(PART NUMBER 767-011)
K. NOTES
1. Refer to Piper’s Customer Service Information File (available online at https://www.piper.com/technical-publications/) for latest revision dates to Piper
Inspection Reports/Manuals and the PA-46-350P / PA-46R-350T Maintenance Manual, P/N 761-876. References to Chapter/Section are to the
appropriate Chapter/Section in the maintenance manual.
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.
2. Inspections or operations are to be performed as indicated by a “O” at the 50 to 100 hour inspection interval. Inspections or operations (i.e.,
component overhauls/replacements, etc.) required outside the 50/100 hour cycle are listed as special inspections in 5-30-00. Inspections must be
accomplished by persons authorized by the FAA or appropriate National Aviation Authority. Checks may be performed by a pilot or owner who is
checked out on the airplane.
A. The 50 hour inspection accomplishes preventative maintenance, lubrication and servicing as well as inspecting critical components.
B. The 100 hour inspection is a complete inspection of the airplane, identical to an annual inspection.
Note: A logbook entry should be made upon completion of any inspections.
3. Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. In all cases, see Service Bulletin/Service Letter Index to
verify latest revision (available online at https://www.piper.com/technical-publications/). See also “Chart 1” on page 19 in section 5-20-00.
4. Piper Service Letters are product improvements and service hints pertaining to servicing the airplane and should be given careful attention.
5. Inspections given for the power plant are based on the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual (Lycoming P/N 60297-27) for this airplane. Any
changes issued to the engine manufacturer’s operator’s manual shall supersede or supplement the inspections outlined in this report. Should fuel
other than the specified octane rating for the power plant be used, refer to the latest revision of Lycoming Service Letter No. L185 for additional
information and recommended service procedures.
6. On new engines, check after the first 25 hours of operation, then at each subsequent 50 hour inspection.
7. Cover or remove all filters, plug all openings, cover the ignition lead at the spark plug and magneto. Solvent will contaminate the air and fuel filters
and will corrode the springs in the ignition leads.
8. Check cylinders for evidence of excessive heat which is indicated by burned paint on the cylinders. This condition is indicative of internal damage to
the cylinder, and if found, its cause must be determined and corrected before the airplane is returned to service.
Heavy discoloration and the appearance of seepage at the cylinder head and barrel attachment area are usually due to emission of thread lubricant
used during assembly of the barrel at the factory, or by slight gas leakage which stops after the cylinder has been in service for a while. This condition
is neither harmful nor detrimental to engine performance and operation. If it can be proven that leakage exceeds these conditions, the cylinder should
be replaced.
9. Check security of injector nozzles after the first 50 hours of engine operation, then at each subsequent 100 hours of engine operation.
10. Flexible hose replacement times are in-service times. In-service dates must be determined by (1) the date the aircraft was licensed, if new or (2) the
date entered in the logbook for the replacement hose placed in service. Do not use the date stamped on the hose, as time may be included for shelf
life, and not in-service use.
11. Not used.
12. In S/N’s 4636001 thru 4636221 only, in airplanes which have not installed a Lear Romec P/N RG9080-J4A/M engine-driven fuel pump, verify
compliance with latest revisions of Piper Service Bulletin No. 1035A, Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 529B, and Crane/Lear Romec Service Bulletin
No. 101SB020. See also FAA AD 2003-18-12.
13. Not used.
14. For airplanes equipped with Parker Hannifin / Airborne vacuum pump(s), verify compliance with Parker Hannifin / Airborne Service Letter No. 72.
15. For airplanes equipped with Aero Accessories, Inc. Tempest Dry Air Pumps with Wear Indicator Ports, beginning at 300 hours time-in-service, and
each 100 hours thereafter, inspect per Vacuum Pump(s), Inspection, 37-10-00.
Note: For airplanes with frequent deice cycles, begin this inspection at 200 hours time-in-service.
16. For any airplane with engine mount P/N 89137-041 or P/N 89137-042 installed: for engine mounts which have accumulated 200 hours time-in-
service, each one hundred (100) hours time-in-service perform the 100 Hour Engine Mount Inspection in 71-20-00.
17. For high altitude operations (12,000 feet and up), more frequent ignition system maintenance is required. See Champion Aerospace / Slick SB1-88B.
18. Use of magneto manufacturer’s service publication is recommended. For airplanes equipped with Slick Magnetos: inspect magneto(s) per the
appropriate 100 Hour Inspection in the Slick F1100 Master Service Manual.
