By organizing every airframe assembly into exploded isometric technical drawings paired with itemized part breakdown tables, this parts catalog gives aircraft owners, certified technicians, and parts managers an exact roadmap of the airframe. The indented nomenclature clearly indicates component-to-subassembly relationships, distinguishing whole structural assemblies from individual ribs, doublers, skins, latches, and attaching commercial hardware.

Airframe Structural Subassemblies & Parts Breakdowns

Within the Piper Cherokee PA-32-260 PA-32-300 PA-32R-300 Parts Catalog Manual (753 689), every structural assembly is meticulously broken down. For the wing group, users can trace the complete inboard, center, and outboard leading edge skins, main spars, rear spars, false spars, flap hinge brackets, and aileron balance weights. Specialized differences between the fixed-gear PA-32 wings and the wheel-well cutouts, gear door hinges, and trunnion supports of the retractable PA-32R-300 Lance are thoroughly cataloged with discrete part numbers.

Fuselage structural coverage extends through all upper and lower cockpit stations, bulkheads at station 49.5, 73, 85, 108, 128, 165, and 187, as well as tail cone attachment fittings and stabilator pulley supports. Door assemblies are extensively covered across multiple design generations, detailing the early and late forward cabin doors, aft passenger door, forward nose baggage door, and the wide rear utility cargo door with internal mechanical latch linkages, striker plates, and holding sockets.

Interior Appointments, Hardware & Enclosures

This parts catalog details every internal cockpit trim component, including instrument panel shock mounts, control wheel bushings, fresh air ducting, overhead vents, and floorboard structures. The enclosure installation figures itemize standard and heavy .250-inch sound-reduction windshields, tinted and clear side windows, and storm window latch assemblies. The interior finishing sections provide full color code breakdowns for side trim panels, armrest housings, window trim extrusions, curtains, and cabin carpets across red, blue, brown, black, green, fawn, monaco, heather, and bark color schemes.

Notice Regarding Rigging and Installation

Structural adjustments, rigging procedures, cable tensions, and torque specifications are detailed in the official Piper PA-32 Service Manual. This publication is engineered specifically for positive identification, inventory verification, and ordering of airframe components and hardware.
