has
developed
inspection
items
and
required
inspection
intervals
(i.e.:
50,
100,
500,
and
1000
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

Center
or
a
reputable
repair
shop.
Piper

cannot
accept

for
the
continued
airworthiness
of

not

to
these
standards,

with
applicable
Service

issued
by

instructions
issued

Administration
(FAA).

is
also
available
to

involves
routine

detailed
inspections
to

inspection
costs
are
reduced
and
the
maximum
standard
of
continued

is
maintained.

with
these

requirements
and
for
maintaining
proper
