Assignment of Subject Material

This publication is divided into industry standard, three element, numeric subject groupings as follows:
A. System/Chapter - The various groups are broken down into major systems such as Environmental
Systems, Electrical Power, Landing Gear, etc. They are assigned a number, which becomes the first
element of the standardized numbering system. Thus, the element "28" of the number 28-40-01
refers to the chapter "Fuel". Everything concerning the fuel system will be covered in this chapter.
B. Sub-System/Section - The major systems/chapters of an airplane are broken down into
subsystems. These sub-systems are identified by the second element of the standard numbering
system. The element "40" of the number 28-40-01 concerns itself with the indicating section of the
fuel system.
C. Unit/Subject - The individual units within a sub-system/section may be identified by the third
element of the standard numbering system. The element "01" of the number 28-40-01 is a subject
designator. This element is assigned at the option of the manufacturer and is normally zeroed out by
PIPER.
Refer to paragraph 14, Chapter/Section Index Guide, for a complete breakdown and list. The material is
arranged in ascending numerical sequence.
