Required actions
(1) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations section of the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) for your airplane by adding the information in Piaggio Aviation P.180 Avanti II/EVO Temporary Change No. 107, dated September 17, 2019. Using a different document with language identical to that on page 2-33-bis or 2-33.C-bis (as applicable to the S/N of your airplane) of Piaggio Aviation P.180 Avanti II/EVO Temporary Change No. 107, dated September 17, 2019, is acceptable for compliance with this requirement.

A.S. Service Bulletin No. 80-0467, Revision 2, dated March 6, 2020, and revise the instructions for continued airworthiness for your airplane by incorporating the information in Piaggio Aviation P.180 Avanti EVO Maintenance Manual Temporary Revision No. 126, dated June 6, 2019. (3) The AFM revision required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, if included, may be removed after completing the actions required by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD. (4) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install on any airplane an ADC part number (P/N) 822-1109-018, DCM P/N 501-1870-31, or DCM P/N 501-1870-51.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as altimetry system errors in the air data computers (ADCs) and stand-by instrument systems. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent a mean altimetry system error measurement from exceeding the limits defined for operations within airspace designed as reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) airspace. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in a potential mid-air collision within RVSM airspace.
Affected ADs
None.
