RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft,
Inc. (Piper) Model PA-28-140, PA-28-150, PA-28-151, PA-28-160, PA-28-161, PA-28-180,
PA-28-181, PA-28-235, PA-28R-180, PA-28R-200, PA-28R-201, PA-28R-201T, PA-28RT-201,
PA-28RT-201T, PA-32-260, and PA-32-300 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a
report of a fatigue crack found in a visually inaccessible area of the lower main wing spar cap.
This proposed AD would require calculating the factored service hours for each main wing spar
to determine when an inspection is required, inspecting the lower main wing spar bolt holes for
cracks, and replacing any cracked main wing spar. We are proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.
