Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9788 · Piper Aircraft Inc. Airplanes
Piper Aircraft Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Piper Aircraft Inc. PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31-325, PA-31-350, PA-31P, PA-31P-350, PA-31T, PA-31T1, PA-31T2, PA-31T3.
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 supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 93-25-08, which currently requires replacing the main landing gear (MLG) actuator reinforcement bracket with a part of improved design on certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA31, PA31P, and PA31T series airplanes. This AD action will require the same action as AD 93-25-08. An incorrect designation of Piper Model PA31-310 airplanes made in AD 93-25-08 prompted the proposed AD action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the MLG from extending, when not selected and while the airplane is in flight, caused by actuator reinforcement bracket failure, which could result in substantial airplane damage or 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.
