To answer your questrion abut the Illustrated Parts Catalog.  This catalog presents component breakdowns of structure and equipment in disassembly sequence.  Also included are exploded views or cutaway illustrations for all parts and equipment manufactured by the aircraft manufacturer.  Reference AC 65-9A Chapter 1.

Additionally, manufacturer's parts lists, illustrated parts catalogs, and similar documents, while useful, are not approved and do not provide data acceptable to the Administrator unless they are an integral part of a maintenance manual and are not just listed as a reference.

I have written about them in my aviation book called Handbook of Aeronautical Inspection and Pre-Purchase, which can be found at: http://www.stacheair.com/ or http://trafford.com/04-2873

I do not think you will find a web address that explains it, but you can find AC 65-9A on the FAA web site for free at: http://rgl.faa.gov/REGULATORY_AND_GUIDAN...
