AD: Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2013-10-04

PRODUCT: All Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-31, PA-31-325, and PA-31-350 airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-10-04
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. That AD currently requires a detailed repetitive inspection of the exhaust system downstream of the turbochargers and repair or replacement of parts as necessary. This new AD requires visual repetitive inspections, expanding the inspection scope to include the entirety of each airplane exhaust system.

This AD was prompted by reports of exhaust system failures upstream of aircraft turbochargers and between recurring detailed inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective July 17, 2013.

FMI: AD
