6. Inspection Requirements
WARNING: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS (ICA) FOR ALL NON-PIPER
APPROVED STC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MANUAL.
WHEN A NON-PIPER APPROVED STC INSTALLATION IS INCORPORATED ON
THE AIRPLANE, THOSE PORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE AFFECTED BY THE
INSTALLATION MUST BE INSPECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ICA
PUBLISHED BY THE OWNER OF THE STC. SINCE NON-PIPER APPROVED STC
INSTALLATIONS MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS INTERFACE, OPERATING
CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENT LOADS OR STRESSES ON ADJACENT
STRUCTURES, THE PIPER PROVIDED ICA MAY NOT BE VALID FOR AIRPLANES
SO MODIFIED.
A. Annual / 100 Hour Inspection. (See paragraph 7.)
Owners/operators may maintain the airplane solely under FAR 91.409 (a) and (b) inspection
requirements. The 100 hour inspection cycle is a complete inspection of the airplane and is identical
in scope to an annual inspection. Inspections must be accomplished by persons authorized by the
FAA.
B. Progressive Inspection.
The Progressive Inspection programs are designed to permit the best utilization of the aircraft
through the use of a planned inspection schedule. These schedules are prepared in a manual form,
which are available from Piper Dealers:
P/N 761-497 for the PA-28-140/150/160/180/235 Cherokee Series, and
the PA-28-140 Fliteliner, and
P/N 761-500 for the PA-28R-180/200.
Refer to Piper's Customer Service Information Aerofiche P/N 1753-755 for a checklist to ensure
obtaining latest issue.
NOTE: The 50 Hour Progressive Inspection Manuals (P/N’s 761-497 and 761-500) referenced
above are not stand-alone documents. They constitute snapshots of the Airworthiness
Limitations and Inspection sections of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
and are current only at the time of printing. Use them as follows:
(1) Owners/operators desiring to establish a Part 91 Progressive Inspection Program
(PIP) (see 91.409(d)) or a Part 135 Approved Aircraft Inspection Program (AAIP)
(see 135.419) should use the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a
template for submission to their regional FAA office.
(2) Service centers conducting Event Cycle inspections under a FAA-approved PIP or
AAIP can use the appropriate Progressive Inspection Manual as a working check-off
list/form, provided they verify its currency against the FAA-approved PIP or AAIP.
C. Overlimits Inspection.
If the airplane has been operated so that any of its components have exceeded their maximum
operational limits, special inspections may be required by Piper and/or the component
manufacturer. See Section III and applicable vendor publications.
