Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11241 · The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA- 46-350P Airplanes
The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA- 46-350P Airplanes
Model PA-46-350P airplanes, serial numbers 4622191 through 4622200 and 4636001 through 4636175, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Model PA-46- 350P airplanes. This AD requires installing reinforcement plates to the wing forward and aft attach fittings. This AD is the result of a report that sheet steel material that is below design strength standards may have been utilized on the wing attach fittings on the Model PA-46-350P airplanes manufactured since January 1995. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent structural failure of the wing attach fittings caused by the utilization of substandard material, which could result in the wing separating from the airplane with consequent loss of control.
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.
