AD 2022-09-13 Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes
Makes named: piper. Models named: PA-34-200. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA-34-200 airplanes, serial numbers 34-7250001 through 34-7450220, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, incorporate into the maintenance records required by 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2) or 135.439(a)(2) for your airplane a life limit of 500 hours for bolt part numbers 693-215 and NAS6207-50D. Note to paragraph (g)(1): Piper Seneca Service Manual, Airworthiness Limitations, 753-817, page 1-1, dated November 30, 2019, contains the life limit in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. (2) Thereafter, except as provided in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD, no alternative replacement times may be approved for these bolts.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the determination that the life limit for alternate bolts that attach the drag link to the nose gear were not included as airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to establish a life limit on bolt part numbers 693-215 and NAS6207-50D that attach the drag link to the nose gear trunnion. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the nose landing gear and lead to loss of airplane control during take-off, landing, or taxi operations.
Affected ADs
None.
