2.  
Piper Service Bulletins are of special importance and Piper considers compliance mandatory. These are sent to the latest U.S. registered owners and Piper Service Centers.

3.  
Service Letters deal with product improvements and service hints pertaining to the aircraft. They are sent to Piper Service Centers and sometimes directly to owners, so they can properly service the aircraft and keep it up to date with the latest changes. Owners should give careful attention to the service letter information.

4.  
Service Spares Letters, which are sent only to Piper Service Centers, offer improved parts, kits and optional equipment which were not available originally and which may be of interest to the owner.

— Note —
Piper mails Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and P.O.H. Revisions to the registered owner’s name and address as shown on the Aircraft Registration Certificate. If the aircraft is based and/or operated at a different location (or locations) and/or by a person (or persons) other than those recorded on the aircraft registration, then the registered owner(s) is responsible for forwarding these Bulletins and Letters to the operating location(s) or person(s).
Changes in aircraft registration may take a substantial amount of time to be recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration and received by Piper to change the mailing address. Owners and operators should make arrangements to keep abreast of service releases during this interim period through their Piper Service Center.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) that apply to specific aircraft. They are mandatory changes and are to be complied within a time limit set by the FAA. When an AD is issued, it is sent to the latest registered owner of the affected aircraft and also to subscribers of the service. The owner should periodically check with his Piper Service Center or A & P mechanic to see whether he has the latest issued AD against his airplane. The owner is solely responsible for being aware of and complying with airworthiness directives.
An owner should periodically check with a Piper Service Center to find out the latest information to keep his aircraft up to date.
The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. has a subscription service for the Service Bulletins, Service Letters, and Service Spares Letters. This service is offered to interested persons such as owners, pilots, and mechanics at a nominal fee and may be obtained through Piper Service Centers. Owners residing outside of the United States are urged to subscribe to this service since Piper cannot otherwise obtain the addresses of foreign owners. Maintenance Manuals and Illustrated Parts Catalogs are also available through Piper Service Centers and Distributors world wide.
