SECTION I
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
NOTE: The Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies maintenance required
under §§ 43.16 and 91.403 of the Federal Aviation Regulations unless an alternative program
has been FAA approved.
1. Limitations. (PIR-TCDS A3SO, Rev. 31.)
No limitations related to fatigue life of the airplane and its components have been established for the
PA-32-260, PA-32-300 Cherokee Six nor the PA-32R-300 Lance airplanes.
NOTE: Refer to the LIMITATIONS section in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook 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.

SECTION II
HANDLING AND SERVICING
2-1. 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, 2-1a or 2-1b 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, wing station or buttock line (BL), and water line (WL)
designations is frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figure 2-2 or Figure 2-2a.) 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 33.4 inches
ahead of the firewall; station 0 (BL) of the wing and stabilator is the centerline of the airplane; and
station 0 (WL) of the 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.
2-4a. 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.
2-5. ACCESS AND INSPECTION PROVISIONS.
The access and inspection provisions for the airplane are shown in Figure 2-3. 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, remove the rear baggage compartment upholstery panel by
removing the attachment screws.
2-6. 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 may be fabricated from dimensions given in the back of the
section that pertains to a particular component or are listed in the back of the PA-32 Parts Catalog.
