Technical-Domain: Piper PA-32-260 (1965-1982), PA-32-300 (1965-1986), PA-32R-300 (1976-1986) // System-Coverage: Airframe, propulsion, hydraulic, and brake system documentation / Landing gear assembly networks // Technical-Domain: 735-page comprehensive service reference with aerofiche grid coordination system.

Identifier Operational-Logic Framework
Structural Systems Wing assembly, empennage, fuselage configuration Section IV with attachment specifications
Surface Control Networks Aileron, stabilator, rudder, flap mechanisms Section V with rigging procedures
Powerplant Documentation Engine installation, magneto timing, propeller governance Sections VII-VIIA covering Lycoming platforms

The documentation is partitioned into inspection intervals, handling procedures, and maintenance sequences addressing engine systems, landing gear retraction mechanisms, fuel system distribution networks, and electrical system logic components. Covers inspection protocols, fuel selector positioning sequences, brake cylinder documentation, hydraulic pump reservoir networks, and oleo strut servicing procedures providing comprehensive overview of aircraft operational systems.

Modular Logic-Path

Adjustment procedures are detailed for control surface travel specifications, cable tension calibration, and trim mechanism positioning. The manual provides strategic reference data for bellcrank rigging calculations, aileron balance weight modification, and flap attachment security. Technical notes are provided for magneto timing marks, carburetor adjustment parameters, and propeller governor control sequences including impulse coupling verification.

Structured Framework

Fuel system procedures are documented for tank interconnection logic, fuel selector valve positioning, and quick drain outlet identification across main tank and tip tank networks. The document references torque specifications for landing gear attachment bolts, engine mount fastening sequences, and control surface hinge security ensuring proper assembly integrity.

Integrated Interface

Quality checks are addressed for wheel bearing repackaging intervals, strut extension measurement validation, and tire pressure verification at 50-hour, 100-hour, 500-hour, and 1000-hour inspection checkpoints. Documentation includes lubrication point mapping, grease fitting application protocols, and control cable tension measurement procedures using tensiometer reference standards.

Diagnostic Parameters

Includes wiring schematic diagrams, electrical system component load calculations, and instrument calibration reference data. The manual documents troubleshooting decision trees for landing gear extension malfunctions, fuel pump operation verification, and magneto performance validation. Provides component identification methodology with aerofiche card grid location referencing system enabling rapid technical content retrieval.

The manual documents torque specifications for structural components to ensure proper cyclic stress resistance across all major assemblies including wing spar attachment points, stabilator hinge mechanisms, and landing gear installation interfaces.

FAQ

What **calibrated** pressure applies to oleo strut inflation? keyboard_arrow_down

3.50 ± .50 inches of piston tube exposure is required for nose gear on PA-32-260 models to maintain proper shock absorption and landing performance.

Assess the **applicable** torque specification for stabilator attachment. keyboard_arrow_down

360 to 390 inch-pounds must be applied to bolt heads on upper spar cap and nuts on lower spar cap for structural integrity during wing installation.

What **exact** electrical values does the alternator system provide? keyboard_arrow_down

60 amperes at 12 volts is the standard output specification for the Chrysler and Prestolite alternators installed on these models to support all aircraft electrical systems.
