Figure 4-3. Skin Material and Thickness (PA-32-260 and PA-32-300,
Serial Nos. 32-40000 to 32-7840222 inclusive.)
4-19. STRUCTURAL REPAIRS. Structural repairs may be made in accordance with the latest revision of
FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1. To assist in making repairs, Figure 4-3 for PA-32-260 and 300 or Figure
4-3a for PA-32R-300 identifies the type and thickness of skin structure used. Never make a skin
replacement or patch from a material thinner than the original skin. Original material and thickness is
recommended and must result in a surface which is as strong as, or stronger than, the original skin.
However, flexibility must be retained so that the surrounding areas will not receive extra stress.
