NOTES

1. Control that Inspection Report and Manuals you are using correspond to their latest revisions.
2. All required inspections or operations at each inspection interval are indicated by (O). Annual
inspection is an inspection of 100 hours and meets the minimum requirement of RAAC 43
Appendix D, while 500 and 1000 hours inspections are extensions of the 100 hours inspection
and they require a more detailed examination of the airplane, and overhaul or replacement of
some large components.
3. Service Bulletins are especially important. Service Letters must be observed too.
4. Service Letters are upgrades to the product or advices related to aircraft´ service, allowing using
observations.
5. Intervals between oil changes can increase as a maximum at 100% in engines equipped with oil
filter cartridge, changing the element every 50 hours of operation and using naphtha with the
recommended octane number.
6. Determine the need for replacement or at Engine Overhaul. (For Engine Overhaul, refer to the
latest revision of the Lycoming Mandatory Service Bulletin No. SB-240W.)
7. It is recommended that all engine mount bushings to be replaced each 500 hours. Control
torque of the bolts (450/560 lbs.-inch).
8. This inspection is required on aircrafts with S/N 25-7405573 to 25-8156024, inclusive (Pawnee
“D” model).
9. This inspection is required on aircrafts with S/N 25-1 to 25-7405572 inclusive. (Pawnee “B” and
“C” models) and all aircrafts manufactured by Lavia Argentina S.A. (Puelche I, II and III models).
10. Replace all flexible hoses at the Engine Overhaul according to Lycoming Mandatory Service
Bulletin No. SB-240W and its future revisions.
11. When alternative fuel is used, refer to Lycoming Service Letter No. L 185 A for additional
information and recommended service procedures.
12. On Piper aircraft models, refer to Piper Service Bulletin No. 591 for inspection of the rubber fuel
cell Goodyear BTC-39 and to comply with AD 78-05-06 R 2. (FAA).
13. Inspection of the power plant is based on the Lycoming Operator Manual P/N 60-297-10. Any
change published on the Operator Manual of the manufacturer will replace or will complement
the instructions given in the Inspection Chart.
14. Control the cylinders for evidence of overheating, which is detected by the cylinder burned
paint. This condition indicates cylinder internal damage and if it is manifested, the cause should
be determined and corrected before the aircraft retakes servicing. A strong discoloration and
appearance of a filtration on the cylinder head and in the attachment area of this, usually occurs
because of the emission of used oil, by the thread, during the cylinder assemblage at the
factory, or by a little glass loss, which is interrupted after the cylinder is in service for some time.
This condition does not affect even the performance and operation; if it is found that loss
exceeds this conditions, cylinder must be changed.
15. At Every 400 hours of engine operation, remove the valve covers and control the freedom
movement of valve rocker, when these are closed. Look for evidence of abnormal settings or
broken parts in the area of the top of the valve, the fastener, the spring and its seat. If any
indication is found, cylinder and all its components must be removed (even the piston and the
rod) and inspected for another damages. Replace any component that is not within the shown
limits in the latest revision for Service Table of Limits No. SSP 1776.
16. Examine cables for broken strands by wiping the length of the cable with a cloth. Inspect visually
and carefully the cables for damages not detected by the cloth. Replace the damaged cables.
Refer to CA 43-13-1A, paragraph 198 (ANAC).
17. On the next inspection of 100 hours, replace the filter´s cube (P/N 22034), for the new piece
(P/N 96092) in accordance with Laviasa Mandatory S.B No. 2.
18. For aircrafts equipped with main landing gear spring type, refer to Laviasa Report No. LA-R-118
(Sept. 20, 2011).

19. These maintenance procedures are based on Lycoming O-540 engine models. For Lycoming IO-
540 engine models, refer to specifically items contained in Operator Manual of the
Manufacturer P/N 60247-10 (June 2006) and its future revisions.
20. FAA AD 2007-08-07 must be fulfilled (replacement of supports).
21. Tensioning the drag wire of the wing panel assembly covered:
a. Trace a line between the rear and aft spars. Install grommets over the line at 23’’, 63’’,
104’’ and 152’’ from wing root.
b. Open inspection holes on previously installed grommets
c. Place a spring scale in center of the wire.
d. Pull the scale to reach the value of the table.
e. Hold the drag wire with a force nipper and adjust the wire terminal according the table
f. Install inspection plates on inspection holes
