8.3 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
Piper Aircraft Corporation has developed inspection items and required
inspection intervals (i.e.: 50, I 00, 500, and l000 hours) for the specific model
aircraft. Appropriate forms are contained in the applicable Piper
Service/ Maintenance Manual, and should be complied with by a properly
trained, knowledgeable, and qualified mechanic at a Piper Authorized
Service Center or a reputable repair shop. Piper Aircraft Corporation
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 Aircraft Corporation,
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 Aircraft Corporation.
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.
