PERIODS
@iNilg
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parts catalogs are no longer applicable and the purchaser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-28-181 (see the latest
revision
of
the PA-28-181 Maintenance
and Inspection
Manuals).
The PA-28-181 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.
