Required actions
(1) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, do the applicable inspections and corrective actions on each fuselage skin panel in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions, Part A, paragraphs (1) through (15) and (17) through (20), or Part A (Alternate Procedure), paragraphs (31) through (37), (41) through (43), (50) through (55), and (57) through (60), in Piaggio Service Bulletin 80-0405, Revision 0, dated March 15, 2021, as corrected by Piaggio Service Bulletin 80-0405, Revision 0, Errata Corrige No. 1, dated March 24, 2021 (Piaggio SB 80-0405), except for the following: (i) You are not required to contact the manufacturer. Instead, for any repairs, use a method approved by the FAA or the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). (ii) Where the steps in Part A or Part A (Alternate Procedure) reference Part B, you must follow the Accomplishment Instructions, Part B, paragraphs (82) through (86), (88), and (104) of Piaggio SB 80-0405. (2) If, as part of the corrective actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, you repaired areas of the fuselage skin but did not replace the panels, do the following: (i) Within 60 days after completing the actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, report the inspection results, including the information specified in the Confirmation Slip attached to Piaggio SB 80-0405, to Piaggio at technicalsupport@piaggioaerospace.it; and (ii) Repeat the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this AD at intervals not to exceed 660 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 26 months, whichever occurs first. (3) If, as part of the corrective actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, you replaced the panels, within 60 days after completing the actions required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, report the inspection results, including the information specified in the Confirmation Slip attached to Piaggio SB 80-0405, to Piaggio at technicalsupport@piaggioaerospace.it. (4) If, during all of the inspections required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, there is no corrosion and no primer inconsistencies, no further action is required by this AD.
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 corrosion in the bottom fuselage area of the cabin compartment due to inner and outer sides of fuselage skin panels treated with less effective primer. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent degradation of the structural integrity of the fuselage. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to loss of control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
