The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA28, PA32, PA34, and PA44 series airplanes. This action will require inspecting and modifying the flap lever assembly. Reports of worn flap handle attach bolts and elongated holes in the flap lever to cable mounting attach point prompted this AD action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the flap handle attach bolt and sudden retraction of the flaps, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
