The floor coverings supplied for the Piper PA-28-161 were crafted from Blackcity (WN-120) carpet, known for its durability and stylish look. The carpet was carefully edged with matching mesh binding around all exposed edges, except where the edges were trapped under sills. To protect high-wear areas, clear protective heel mat covers were fitted beneath the foot controls, adding an extra layer of longevity to the flooring.
For the sidewall trim panels, the main upper section was covered in saddle brown leather (ADI-4111), providing a warm and inviting feel. The lower section of the sidewalls was finished with Blackcity carpet, maintaining a uniform look throughout. The sidewall upholstery features two parallel lines of piping running horizontally across the aircraft, enhancing its sleek design. Additionally, the sidewall panels include practical pockets on both sides—one forward of the door and another on the upper sidewall, adding extra functionality to the design. Each sidewall panel was supplied with the appropriate decals to make the installation process as easy as possible.
The suspended headlining for the Piper PA-28-161 runs longitudinally down the ceiling of the aircraft, contributing to the overall aesthetic of the cabin. Manufactured from beige-colored vinyl, the headlining was supplied in sections, including the main section and additional pieces on either side of the door and the rear pillar. The headlining includes a cut-out for the overhead console and features two seams running the length of the aircraft, ensuring a neat and seamless finish.
