What was found

COOLING FAN PIPER P/N 460-105 PRODUCED NOISE THAT INTERFERES WITH THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE MARKER BEACON RECEIVER IN THE ACFT. THE PROBLEM SHOWS UP AS NOISE ON THE MARKER BEACON RECEIVER THAT LIGHTS THE IM LIGHT. THIS NOISE IS ALSO PRESENT ON THE NAVIGATION RECEIVER, BUT DOES NOT EFFECT OPERATION. RF FILTER NETWORK CONNECTED TO THE COOLING FAN POWER INPUT SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SUCH FILTERING NETWORK IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE OR AUTHORIZED FROM NEW PIPER AIRCRAFT.
