MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION.
This PIPER AIRCRAFT Maintenance Manual is prepared in accordance with the GAMA (General
Aviation Manufacturers Association) format. This maintenance manual is dividedinto 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 becomesthe 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 32-40-01. This number could be assigned by the manufacturer to fit
the coverage requirements of the publication.
Example:
CHAPTER SYSTEM SUB-SYSTEMS
LANDING GEAR WHEELS AND BRAKES
INDIVIDUAL UNITS
NOSE WHEEL REMOVAL
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-32-301 301T
