Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft Corporation Model PA-38-112 Airplanes
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to The New Piper Aircraft Corporation (Piper) Model PA-38-112 airplanes. This action requires repetitively replacing the upper rudder hinge bracket. Reports of fatigue cracks occurring on the upper rudder hinge bracket, and the manufacture of a new upper rudder hinge bracket with a life limited improved design prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracks in the upper rudder hinge bracket, which could result in separation of the rudder from the airplane and loss of control of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are FAA-mandated safety directives that apply to specific aircraft, engines, or components. N2351A may be affected by 1 directive. All applicable ADs must be complied with for the aircraft to remain legally airworthy. Buyers should verify AD compliance in the aircraft's logbooks before purchase.
