The recurring maintenance schedule for the PA-28-161 Warrior III is provided herein as an
Annual / 100 Hour Inspection. A Progressive Inspection Program will be available from Piper Dealers in a
separate manual form.
Piper inspection programs comply with the F.A.A. Federal Aviation Regulations Parts 43, 91 and 135.
The owner/operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition,
including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives and conformity with the requirements in
FAR 91.409, 91.411 and 91.413.
The first overhaul or replacement of components should be performed at the given periods. The
condition of various components can then be used as criteria for determining subsequent periods
applicable to the individual airplane, depending on usage, providing the owner/operator has an
established Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program (see 91.409(d)) or Part 135 Approved Aircraft
Inspection Program (see 135.419).
The time periods given for inspections of various components are based on average usage and
environmental conditions.

item or component will reach the listed time without malfunction. Unique operating conditions
encountered by individual airplanes cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
