INTRODUCTION
The Piper Progressive Inspection meets the F.A.A. progressive inspection requirements of F.A.R. 91.407,
for use in the corporation’s transportation and personnel; i.e., air taxi purposes, air freight, air mail, etc.
At least one complete 200 hour cycle must be accomplished within 12 calendar months since the
completion of the last 200 hour cycle. For example: if the 600 hour cycle is completed on March 12, of a
given year, the next 200 hour cycle must be completed by the time 800 hours time-in-service has been
accumulated, or on or before April 1, of the next year, whichever comes first. Should the 800 cycle be
completed by November of the same year, then the next 200 hour cycle must be completed by the time
1000 hours time-in-service has been accumulated, or on or before December 1, of the next year,
whichever comes first, etc.
FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Every two weeks the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (ADs) that
apply to specific groups of aircraft.They are mandatory changes and are to be complied with within a time
limit set by the FAA. When an AD is issued, it is sent to the latest registered owner of the affected aircraft
and also to subscribers of the service. The owner should periodically check with his Piper Service Center
or A & P mechanic to see whether he has the latest issued AD against his airplane. The owner is solely
responsible for keeping up with ADs.
Piper Aircraft Corporation takes a continuing interest in having the owner get the most efficient use from
his airplane and keeping it in the best mechanical condition. Consequently, Piper Aircraft from time to time
issues Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters relating to the aircraft.
Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory . These are sent
to the latest registered owners. Piper Service Centers and Corporate Aircraft Centers.
Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are sent
to Piper Service Centers and Corporate Aircraft Centers and sometimes directly to owners so they can
properly service the aircraft and keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful
attention to the Service Letter information.
Service Spares Letters, which are usually sent to Piper Service Centers and Corporate Aircraft Centers,
offer improved parts, kits and optional equipment which were not available originally and which may be of
interest to the owner.
An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center or Corporate Aircraft Centers to find out
the latest information to keep his aircraft up to date.
Piper Aircraft Corporation has a Subscription Service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters and
Service Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as owners, pilots and mechan-
ics at a nominal fee, and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers and Corporate Aircraft Centers.
Owners residing outside of the United States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper can sel-
dom otherwise obtain the addresses of foreign owners. Service Product Support Manuals and revisions
are available through a Piper Service Center.
