The PIPER PA-38-112 Tomahawk Maintenance Manual serves as the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness in compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 23, Appendix G. Chapter 4 encompasses the Airworthiness Limitations section (4-00-00), while Chapter 5 (5-20-00) outlines the Inspection Program.
Prepared in accordance with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) Specification No. 2, this manual adheres to the arrangement and content of the System/Chapters within the designated Chapter/Section-numbering system.
WARNING: Use only genuine PIPER aircraft parts or PIPER aircraft approved parts obtained from PIPER approved sources for the maintenance and repair of PIPER airplanes. Genuine PIPER parts undergo rigorous procedures to ensure airworthiness and suitability for use in PIPER airplane applications. Parts from non-PIPER approved sources, even if identical in appearance, may lack required tests and inspections, differ in fabrication techniques and materials, and pose potential dangers when installed in an airplane. Reworked, salvaged, or parts with unknown service history obtained from non-PIPER approved sources may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses or temperatures, potentially rendering them unsuitable and unsafe for airplane use. PIPER disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, failures, damage, or injury caused by the use of non-PIPER approved parts.
Note: PIPER reserves the right to supersede, cancel, and/or declare obsolete any part, part numbers, kits, or publication referenced in this manual without prior notice.
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 harmless and indemnify the seller from any third-party claims arising from the use of this manual. If you have insufficient experience or doubts about your ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics. To perform the work efficiently and avoid costly mistakes, 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.
