INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
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.
The PIPER PA-28-161 Warrior III Maintenance Manual constitutes the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA) in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 23, Appendix G.
Chapter 4 contains the Airworthiness Limitations section (4-00-00) and the Inspection Program is in
Chapter 5 (5-20-00).
2. General
This publication is prepared in accordance with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA)
Specification No. 2, with respect to the arrangement and content of the System/Chapters within the
designated Chapter/Section-numbering system.
WARNING: USE ONLY GENUINE PIPER AIRCRAFT PARTS OR PIPER AIRCRAFT APPROVED
PARTS OBTAINED FROM PIPER APPROVED SOURCES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PIPER AIRPLANES.
This manual generally does not contain hardware callouts for installation. Hardware callouts are only
indicated where a special application is required. To confirm the correct hardware used, refer to the
PA-28-161 Parts Catalog, P/N 761-897, and FAR 43 for proper use.
Genuine PIPER parts are produced and inspected under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness
and suitability for use in PIPER airplane applications. Parts purchased from sources other than PIPER,
even though identical in appearance, may not have had the required tests and inspections performed,
may be different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed in an
airplane.
Additionally, reworked or salvaged parts or those parts obtained from non-PIPER approved sources,
may have service histories which are unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to
unacceptable stresses or temperatures or may have other hidden damage not discernible through
routine visual or nondestructive testing. This may render the part, component or structural assembly,
even though originally manufactured by PIPER, unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use.
PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage or
injury caused by use of non-PIPER approved parts.
NOTE: PIPER AIRCRAFT, INC. expressly reserves the right to supersede, cancel and/or declare
obsolete any part, part numbers, kits or publication that may be referenced in this manual
without prior notice.
In any question concerning the care of your airplane, be sure to include the airplane serial number in
any correspondence.
