8.3 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
WARNING
All inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time (
limits, the method of inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc.,
recommended by PIPER are solely based on the use of new,
remanufactured or overhauled PIPER approved parts. If parts
are designed, manufactured, remanufactured, overhauled
and/or approved by entities other than PIPER, then the data in
PIPER'S maintenance/service manuals and parts catalogs are
no longer applicable and the purchaser is warned not to rely on
such data for non-PIPER parts. All inspection intervals,
replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, the method of
inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc., for such non-PIPER
parts must be obtained from the manufacturer and/or seller of
such non-PIPER parts.
Piper has developed inspection items and required inspection intervals for
the PA-28R-201l201T (see the latest revision of the PA-28R-201l20lT
Maintenance and Inspection Manuals). The PA-28R-2011201 T Inspection
Manual contains appropriate forms, and all inspection procedures should be (>
complied with by a properly trained, knowledgeable, and qualified mechanic at
a Piper Authorized Service Center or a reputable repair shop. Piper cannot accept
responsibility for the continued airworthiness of any aircraft not maintained to
these standards, and/or not brought into compliance with applicable Service
Bulletins issued by Piper, instructions issued by the engine, propeller, or
accessory manufacturers, or Airworthiness Directives issued by the FAA.
A programmed Inspection, approved by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), is also available to the owner. This involves routine and detailed
inspections to allow maximum utilization of the airplane. Maintenance
inspection costs are reduced, and the maximum standard of continued
airworthiness is maintained. Complete details are available from Piper.
In addition, but in conjunction with the above, the FAA requires periodic
inspections on all aircraft to keep the Airworthiness Certificate in effect. The
owner is responsible for assuring compliance with these inspection requirements
and for maintaining proper documentation in logbooks and/or maintenance
records.

A spectrographic analysis of the engine oil is available from several sources.
This inspection, if performed properly, provides a good check of the internal
condition of the engine. To be accurate, induction air filters must be cleaned or
changed regularly, and oil samples must be taken and sent in at regular intervals.
