INTRODUCTION.
This PIPER AIRCRAFT Maintenance Manual is prepared in accordance with the GAMA (General
Aviation Manufacturers Association) format. This maintenance manual is divided into various Groups which
enable a broad separation of contents (Chapters) within each group.
The various Chapters are broken down into major systems such as Electrical Power, Flight Controls, Fuel,
Landing Gear, etc. The System/Chapters are arranged more or less alphabetically rather than by precedence or
importance. All System/Chapters are assigned a number, which becomes the first element of a standardized
numbering system. Thus the element “32” of the number series 32-00-00 refers to the System/Chapter on
“Landing Gear.” All information pertaining to the landing gear will be covered in this System/Chapter.
The major System/Chapters are then broken down into Sub-System/Sections. These sections are identified
by the second element of the standardized numbering system. The number “40” of the basic number series 32-
40-00 is for the “Wheels and Brakes” portion of the landing gear.
The individual units within a Sub-System/Section may be identified by a third element of the standardized
numbering system, such as 32-40-0l. This number could be assigned by the manufacturer to fit the coverage
requirements of the publication.
Example:
This manual 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-28RT-201/201T
Parts Catalog P/N 761 693, and FAR 43 for proper utilization.

AEROFICHE GRID NUMBERING AND REVISION IDENTIFICATION
1. Aer of ic he Gr id Number ing
Piper has ceased production of all Aerofiche (i.e., microfiche) products. The Aerofiche grid numbers will
be removed in the next complete revision. In the interim, as partial revisions occur, the Aerofiche grid
numbering system may be modified, as explained below, to simplify production.
Deviations from the legacy Aerofiche grid numbering system will occur when it becomes necessary to
add pages to the manual and will typically take two forms:
A. Inserting pages between two existing grids in the same row.
When inserting two pages between the existing grids 1A8 and 1A9, the two new pages will be
numbered 1A8A and 1A8B.
B. Inserting pages at the end of an Aerofiche grid row.
The legacy Aerofiche grid numbering system limited page numbers in a row to a maximum of 24
(i.e., row 1A would be numbered 1A1–1A24). That limit no longer applies. Accordingly, if two
pages need to be added between any existing grid row end and grid row start (i.e., 1A24 and 1B1),
the new pages will simply be numbered 1A25 and 1A26.
2. Identifying Re vised Ma ter ial
A. Dec 1978 through 1995:
Revised text and illustrations are indicated by a black vertical line along the left-hand margin of the
frame, opposite revised, added or deleted material. Revision lines indicate only current revisions with
changes and additions to or deletions of existing text and illustrations. Changes in capitalization,
spelling, punctuation, indexing, the physical location of the material or complete page additions are
not identified by revision lines.
B. 2009 and later:
A revision to a page is defined as a change to the text or illustrations that existed previously.
Revisions, additions and deletions are identified by a vertical line (aka change bar) along the left-
hand margin of the page opposite only the text or illustration that was changed. Reformatted, but
otherwise unchanged, text is not identified by a change bar.
Change bars in the section Tables of Contents do not indicate a change to that page, but rather that
the information in the actual paragraph has changed.
A change bar in the left-hand margin opposite the footer (i.e. - chapter/section/subject, page number
and date), indicates that the text was unchanged but the material was relocated to a different page.
Example.
NO TE : Change bars are not used in the title pages. Likewise, when a publication is completely
revised (i.e. - reissued), change bars will only appear in the Tables of Contents.
A reference and record of the material revised is included in each chapter’s Table of Contents/Effectivity.
The codes used in the effectivity columns of each chapter are defined as follows:
TABLE OF CONTENTS/EFFECTIVITY CODES
Original Issue: None
First Revision: Revision Identification, (1R Month-Year)
Second Revision: Revision Identification, (2R Month-Year)
All subsequent revisions will follow with consecutive revision numbers
such as 3R, 4R, etc., along with the appropriate month-year.
Added Subject: Revision Identification, (A Month-Year)
