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.

While some manuals may appear similar for the same make and model of aircraft, each manual is unique and contains specific information about a particular aircraft, such as the equipment installed and weight and balance information. Manufacturers are required to include the serial number and registration on the title page to identify the aircraft to which the manual belongs. By purchasing this manual you agree to hold us harmless and indemnify us from any third party claims arising from the use of this manual. If you have insufficient experience or doubts your ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics. In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation.
