Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain 1973-1984 Illustrated Airplane Parts Catalog – 1994 Revision

Description

Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain 1973-1984 Illustrated Airplane Parts Catalog – 1994 Revision

This illustrated parts catalog is a detailed identification reference for the PA-31-350 Chieftain. It was prepared to provide positive identification of replacement parts through numbered illustrations, figure-and-index references, part numbers, nomenclature, quantities required and aircraft serial-number effectivity. The catalog covers PA-31-350 aircraft identified in its serial-number information from the 1973 through 1984 model years and carries Piper Aircraft Corporation part number 761 487 with a revision date of March 10, 1994.

Across 885 PDF pages, the catalog follows the aircraft from major wing and fuselage structure through tail surfaces, landing gear, cabin equipment, instruments, power plant, fuel, flight controls, hydraulics, environmental equipment, electrical systems and electronics. It also includes placards and exterior stencils, optional equipment kits, repair kits, special-tool references and a numerical index. The many exploded and assembly illustrations make the PA-31-350 Chieftain parts catalog especially useful when the task is to identify an assembly, trace the relationship between a parent assembly and its component parts, or confirm which listed part applies to a particular aircraft serial number.

How the Catalog Identifies Parts

The catalog is organized around illustrations and matching parts lists. A figure number identifies the illustration, while the index number points to the individual item shown in that figure. The corresponding parts-list columns provide the part number, code where applicable, nomenclature, quantity required and serial numbers affected. Indentation in the nomenclature column is used to show assembly relationships, helping distinguish a complete assembly from the items contained within it.

Serial-number effectivity is a major part of this reference. The PA-31-350 serial-number information identifies separate production ranges for the 1973 through 1984 model years, and many individual figure listings further divide applicability when parts changed during production or when specific equipment or modification kits were installed. For parts identification, this makes the aircraft model and serial number important companions to the figure and part number.

The catalog itself gives a clear limitation: it is intended for replacement-part identification and states that it must not be used for rigging and installation purposes. Use the Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain 1973-1984 Illustrated Airplane Parts Catalog – 1994 Revision as a parts and effectivity reference rather than as a substitute for procedures required for rigging or installation work.

Serial-Number Effectivity and Configuration Detail

The serial-number tables and figure-specific effectivity notes are important when working with this catalog because the same general assembly may have different listed parts depending on production range or installed equipment. The catalog identifies the 1973 PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain group beginning with serial numbers 31-5001, 31-5002, 31-5003 and 31-7305005 through 31-7305125, then provides separate ranges for each model year through the 1984 PA-31-350 Chieftain range 31-8452001 through 31-8452021. Throughout the parts listings, additional effectivity breaks appear for changes such as wheel and brake configurations, doors, cabin arrangements, fuel-system equipment, environmental equipment and electronics installations.

Many figure pages also include code explanations that direct the reader to related figures or identify conditions such as a particular modification kit, service letter, optional installation or serial-number break. This helps a technician or parts researcher move from a visual assembly to the applicable component listing without treating every configuration as identical.

Illustrated Assembly Reference

The 1994-revision Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain parts catalog contains extensive pictorial coverage rather than relying on part-number lists alone. The complete-airplane view maps the major catalog groups to their locations on the aircraft, while subsequent figures break assemblies into indexed components. Examples include wing installation, wing panel structure, leading-edge spars, rear spars, ailerons, flaps, fuselage sections, door frames and floorboards, followed later by landing gear, cabin, instrument, power-plant, fuel, control, hydraulic, environmental, electrical and electronic installations.

For maintenance planning and parts research, these illustrations are useful for recognizing where a component belongs and for finding the index number that leads to its nomenclature and part number. The catalog also preserves configuration-specific notes and references to replacement or modification kits, which can be essential when identifying parts on aircraft that have changed equipment during service.

Identify the Correct PA-31-350 Parts Reference

The Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain 1973-1984 Illustrated Airplane Parts Catalog – 1994 Revision supports detailed replacement-part identification, assembly research, serial-number effectivity checks and comparison of illustrated component relationships across the aircraft. It is useful when preparing for maintenance, identifying a part seen in an assembly, checking the listed quantity or nomenclature, or determining which catalog entry applies to a specific PA-31-350 serial number. Because the catalog explicitly separates parts by figures, codes and effectivity, it helps reduce the risk of relying on a visually similar component that belongs to a different production range or equipment configuration.

Correct part identification matters before repair or replacement work begins, especially on an aircraft catalog that documents years of configuration changes and optional installations. This PDF gives you the complete 885-page reference in one digital file for convenient viewing on compatible devices and printing of the pages you need. Delivery is instant after payment, with no physical book and no shipping delay. Use it as the illustrated parts and effectivity reference it is intended to be, while following the appropriate maintenance data for rigging and installation procedures.
