[Normando Chapman]

Revisionsare mailed to the current registered owner at no cost as they are released. Owners can submit updated address information via email to: customer...@piper.com. Be sure to include the airplane serial number. If your flight manual is not up-to-date, the last three revisions may be provided at no cost, depending on availability. Email tech...@piper.com to order/check availability.

If, however, your flight manual is more than three revisions out-of-date or one or more of the last three revisions is no longer available, a complete replacement copy of the flight manual must be ordered and there will be a charge. Order by airplane serial number through a Piper Dealer.

Piper owners will want to know that their service documentation is up to date, and Piper has made that simple! Piper owners should subscribe to the free Piper Publication Notification Service to receive an email alerting you when new service letters, service bulletins or change notices are issued for your airplane.

The service publications collection on Piper.com consists primarily of Piper service publications issued December 2, 2013 and later. A few of the earlier publications are also listed. Should you require a service publication that is not present, they are available by request. Please submit your request by emailing: tech...@piper.com. Please note that all Piper service publications are included with a Veryon subscription.

I seem to have misplaced my 1965 Cherokee 180C flight manual. Not sure why is isn't in the seat pocket as usual and mechanics have no recollection of it. Does anyone know how I go about getting a new one, etc. My avionics guy has the updated weight and balance page that he figured, so I have that, but none of the other equipment lists, etc.

The POH on board must be specific to (match) the aircraft's serial number. As far as I know, only Piper can issue a replacement that matches your serial number. Be prepared to pay about $300 give or take.

That's what I thought. When I went to Piper, they directed me to a Veryon company and I created an account. It is a company that deals with all kinds of old aircraft records. For $200 or so I can get a POH that is for a range of serial numbers, mine included. It shows a list of original equipment. My equipment is no longer original. I do have an updated weight and balance, useful load, etc., that my avionics shop had on file from upgrades 2 years ago. (I kind of think they have my Flight Manual) Is that enough, or do I need to take it somewhere and have them list all the radios, pumps, etc?

If nothing else, the answer is definitely in the FAA regs, so I would start by Googling the question. If you're stuck, or not computer savvy, your A&P or I/A should be able to help or point you in the right direction.

The early POH handbooks were technically not FAA approved as later ones are. So, find a online vender that has one for for your model and s/n. As far as other items like eq list, Have a mech make up a new one with the equip you have at this point, or if you are a purist, piper can get the as delivered one, not really necessary at this point, Mark 12's way out of vouge. You seem to have a good W/b.

Let me just addd one more interesting and timely comment on this subject, with a link to a current article in Aircraft Maintenance Tech Magazine. While in GA circles we probably would not run into this, the artical was a good awareness for me. IF any one has a plane on a 135 or above 91ops levels, this may make sense to keep in mind on back up records. For most all of us, just haveing a copy can be a time and money saver.

I recently ordered a flight manual for a 1964 Cherokee B (Pa28-160). I ordered it thru a piper dealer, the cost was $170.00. I was pleasantly surprised, the flight manual had an updated equipment list that that. added some equipment

I had my flight bag stolen some 18+ years ago. That log book had all my endorsements and such. Now after every check ride (three certs in three years :) ). I copy everything and toss it on a CD ROM and Thumb Drive, plus paper that goes to the bank safe.

These reprinted manuals are a great way to review key subjects before flight lessons and are invaluable when transitioning to a new airplane. They are also perfect for renters who do not have access to an airplane-specific Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH). Includes important information like checklists, limitations, systems descriptions and performance charts.

Flight manuals contain vital procedural and performance related information for a particular aircraft or aircraft Type. Manuals must be kept up to date - inaccurate information could compromise the safety of the aircraft.

Supplements, change sheets, revisions and so on, relay instructions issued by the design approval holder. They also serve to alert the aircraft operator of any safety issues highlighted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or State of Design.

If your aircraft was issued with a Certificate of Airworthiness prior to 28th September 2003 (before EASA took on responsibility for design approvals and changes), it would have been certified to the relevant UK standard. Between September 2003 and the UK withdrawal from the European Union, the aircraft owner may have elected to certify the aircraft to the EASA standard.

If certified to a UK standard it is possible that there is a Flight Manual specifically for UK standard or that there is a UK Supplement to the appropriate design approval holder produced Flight Manual. These Manuals and Supplements are still the applicable documents for aircraft registered prior to 28th September 2003 unless the aircraft has been modified, rendering the previously approved supplement obsolete.

It is possible to upgrade your Flight Manual to the latest Type Design Standard. To upgrade the Manual may require a re-certification of the aircraft. It is possible, for example, that the pre-EASA UK standard required different placards or instrument markings and these would need to be addressed. At the very least a detailed comparison would need to be made and a justification provided for a change of manual. This may require a Modification.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has published a list of UK specific Flight Manuals and Supplements for Piper and Cessna aircraft, but there may be other aircraft types for which UK specific documents are applicable. You will need to refer to the original Certification records for the aircraft to determine the applicable Manual.

The modification package will state if there is a Flight Manual supplement associated with the modification. Where the modification has been approved by an Airworthiness Approval Note (AAN), the UK AAN database may contain further information for the particular aircraft type.

You will need to contact the Design Approval Holder or check the AAN database for the initial certification of the type in the UK. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has published a list of UK specific Flight Manuals and Supplements for Piper and Cessna aircraft.

Difficulties have arisen with UK specific Piper and Cessna Flight Manuals and the relevant Design Approval Holder. Piper has requested that any correspondence with them about a UK specific Flight Manual/Supplement includes a clear indication that it is the UK Manual/Supplement and not just a quote 'report XYZ'.

For Part 21 aircraft certified to the UK standard prior to the inception of EASA (September 28, 2003), supplements and changes sheets are still valid providing the aircraft has not been modified since, rendering any previously approved supplement obsolete. The section 'Checking if UK specific Flight Manual or Supplement applies to your aircraft' on this page provides further information.

Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Supplements and Change sheets may also be valid if the aircraft was imported after 28 September 2003 and has been certified to the UK standard on the condition that the aircraft has not been modified since, rendering any previously approved supplement as obsolete.

Generic Requirements 4 or 6 are still applicable in the UK and will still require an approved Supplement if not covered in the Flight Manual. You can have a situation where two identical aircraft, one certified in the UK before EASA and one post-EASA have different Flight Manuals.

For non-Part 21 aircraft, British Civil Airworthiness Requirements (BCARs) still apply. If the aircraft doesn't conform to a previous UK standard, the aircraft will be considered on an individual basis.

Some orphan aircraft may be operating on a Part 21 Permit to Fly supported by approved Flight Conditions (Part 21 aircraft provides further information). The relevant information should be included in the SAS, or approved Flight Conditions / referenced datasheet.

For non-Part 21 permit aircraft, the relevant information will be included in the Airworthiness approval notes (AAN) for a particular aircraft or type. For a Type Approved aircraft (for example a factory-built microlight or gyroplane), the relevant flight manual standard should be specified on the Type Approval Data Sheet (TADS).
