Limitations (PIR-TCDS 2A13, Rev. 48.) No limitations related to fatigue life of the airplane and its components have been established for the PA-28-140, PA-28-150, PA-28-160, PA-28-180, PA-28-235, PA-28R-180, and PA-28R-200 Cherokee family of airplanes. NOTE: Refer to the LIMITATIONS section in the appropriate Pilot’s Operating Handbook or Airplane Flight Manual for a detailed delineation of the flight limitations of the airplane. 2. Inspections Refer to Section III for Piper’s recommended Inspection Program. 3. Life Limited Parts Marking and Disposition 14 CFR Part 43.10, Disposition of Life-Limited Aircraft Parts requires that proper procedures are followed when removing life limited parts with time and/or cycles remaining on them as well as the disposition of life limited parts with no time and/or cycles left. Life limited parts defined by Type Certificate (TC) are listed in paragraph 1, above. Other parts which are replaced or rebuilt at specified intervals are listed in Section III. A. Parts that are removed prior to accumulating their life limit, are to be marked with indelible ink or marker with the part number, serial number and accumulated life status as defined in 14 CFR Part 43.10 in a manner that does not affect part structural integrity, i.e. - no surface deformation such as vibration/etching allowed. B. Parts that have accumulated the life limit shall be disposed of in accordance with the applicable FARs. Piper recommends life limited parts with no time and/or cycles remaining be completely destroyed.

INTRODUCTION. This section contains routine handling and servicing procedures that are most frequently encountered. Frequent reference to this section will aid the individual by providing information such as the location of various components, ground handling procedures, routine service procedures and lubrication. When any system or component requires service other than the routine procedures as outlined in this section, refer to the appropriate section for that component. 2-2. DIMENSIONS. The principal airplane dimensions are shown in Figures 2-1 through 2-12 and are listed in Table II-I. 2-3. STATION REFERENCE LINES. In order to facilitate the location of various components of the airplane which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing fuselage station (Sta.), wing station or buttock line (BL), and water line (WL) designations is frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figures 2-13 thru 2-24.) Fuselage stations, buttock lines, and water lines are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or horizontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of structural members of the airplane. Station 0 of the fuselage is 78.4 inches ahead of the wing leading edge or 49.5 inches ahead of the lower edge of the firewall; station 0 (BL) of the wing and stabilator is the centerline of the airplane; and station 0 (WL) of the fuselage vertical stabilizer and rudder is 20.5 inches below the cabin floor as measured at the rear wing spar with the airplane level. The reference datum line is located 78.4 inches ahead of the wing leading edge at the intersection of the straight and tapered section. 2-4. WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA. When figuring various weight and balance computations, the empty, static and gross weight, and center of gravity of the airplane may be found in the Weight and Balance Form of the Airplane Flight Manual. 2-5. SERIAL NUMBER PLATE. The serial number plate is located on the left side of the fuselage near the leading edge of the stabilator. The serial number should always be used when referring to the airplane on service or warranty matters. 2-6. ACCESS AND INSPECTION PROVISIONS. The access and inspection provisions for the airplane are shown in Figures 2-25 thru 2-28. The component to be serviced or inspected through each opening is identified in the illustration. All access plates and panels are secured by either metal fasteners or screws. CAUTION: BEFORE ENTERING THE AFT SECTION OF THE FUSELAGE, BE SURE THE AIRPLANE IS SUPPORTED AT THE TAIL SKID. To enter the aft section of the fuselage, open the baggage compartment door and remove the access panel. 2-7. TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT. Because of the simplicity and easy accessibility of components, few special tools outside normal shop tools will be required. Tools that are required are listed in the back of the PA-28 Parts Catalog and may be fabricated to dimensions given in the back of the section that pertains to a particular component.
