HANDLING, SERV & MAINT PA-28-161, WARRIOR II
REPORT: VB-1180 ISSUED: AUGUST 13, 1982

REVISED: MARCH 1, 2005
8.3 AIRPLANE INSPECTION PERIODS
WARNING
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manuals and parts catalogs are no longer
applicable and the purchaser is warned not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
(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 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 progressive 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.
