AD: Various Aircraft Equipped With Wing Lift Struts

AD NUMBER: 2015-08-04

PRODUCT: Certain aircraft equipped with wing lift struts.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-01-05 R1, which applied to certain aircraft equipped with wing lift struts.

AD 99-01-05 R1 required repetitively inspecting the wing lift struts for corrosion; repetitively inspecting the wing lift strut forks for cracks; replacing any corroded wing lift strut; replacing any cracked wing lift strut fork; and repetitively replacing the wing lift strut forks at a specified time for certain airplanes.

This new AD retains all requirements of AD 99-01-05R1 and adds additional airplane models to the Applicability section.

This AD was prompted by a report that additional Piper Aircraft, Inc. model airplanes should be added to the Applicability section.

DATES: This AD is effective June 3, 2015.

FMI: AD
