100 HOUR PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION MANUAL
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that apply to
specific aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied 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 being aware of and complying with airworthiness directives.
NOTE: A searchable database of AD’s is available on the FAA website. See the “Airworthiness
DIrectives” link at “www1.faa.gov”. Additionally, Avantext offers a free email notification service
for new AD’s as well as the last six weeks worth of AD’s at “www.avantext.com”.
An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest information to keep
his aircraft up to date.
Piper Aircraft, Inc. 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 mechanics at a
nominal fee and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers. Owners residing outside of the United
States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper cannot otherwise obtain the addresses of
foreign owners. Maintenance Manuals and Illustrated Parts Catalogs are also available through Piper
Service Centers and Distributors world wide.
NOTE: The maintenance manual, parts catalog, and service bulletins and letters can be ordered as a
set on CD-ROM (quarterly subscription or single copy) from Avantext. See www.avantext.com or
