What is the inflation requirement for a properly maintained nose gear strut?

For a properly maintained nose gear strut of the PA-28A, the correct inflation requirement is 3.25 inches. This measurement refers to the correct extension of the strut when it is properly inflated, ensuring that the strut can adequately absorb shocks during landings and maintain the proper landing gear position. Maintaining the correct strut extension is crucial for ensuring safe aircraft operations and preventing excessive wear or damage to the gear or other structural components. The 3.25 inches provides a balance between optimal performance and safety, ensuring that the nose gear operates effectively during various phases of flight.
