Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.; Models PA-23-235, PA-23-250, and PA-E23-250 Airplanes

요약

This amendment clarifies information contained in Airworthiness Directive (AD) 83-22-01, which currently requires inserting certain zero fuel weight limitations into the Limitations Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) on certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Models PA-23-235, PA-23-250, and PA-E23-250 airplanes. The FAA has received reports that reference in the AD to two of the AFM reports contains incorrect information. In particular, reference to Report 1308, Revision B, contains the words ``normally aspirated''; and reference to Report 1360, Revision B, contains the word ``Turbocharged.'' These references should be removed. This document clarifies AD 83-22-01 by removing the words ``normally aspirated'' and ``Turbocharged'' from the reference to these reports. The actions specified in this AD are intended to continue to prevent possible wing structure damage caused by excessive fuel weight, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
