    THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL Control Cable Inspection Aircraft control cable systems are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and forms of deterioration that, with time, may be easy to recognize as wire/strand breakage or the not-so-readily visible types of wear, corrosion, and/or distortion.
  • Page 433 THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL External Wear Patterns Wear will normally extend along cable equal to the distance cable moves at that location. Wear may occur on one side of the cable only or on its entire circumference. Replace flexible and non-flexible cables when individual wires in each strand appear to blend together (outer wires worn 40-50 percent) as depicted in Figure 3.
  • Page 434 THE NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. PA-32-301FT / 301XTC MAINTENANCE MANUAL Internal Cable Wear As wear is taking place on the exterior surface of a cable, the same condition is taking place internally, particularly in the sections of the cable which pass over pulleys and quadrants. This condition, shown in Figure 4, is not easily detected unless the strands of the cable are separated.
