The FAA AD refers to a total time in service of 5,000 ‘factored’ hours as opposed to 5,000 hours airframe time. The Archer I flew in the other day had a total time on the airframe of 3,500 hours. Referencing the FAA AD, the factored hours totalled 217, nowhere near the 5,000 factored hours as described in the AD.

The great bulk of the Pa28/32 fleet probably won’t be affected by the AD. That is of course only if the know nothings at CAsA leave it alone. Remember the SID’s?
