Supersedes 2015-20-13

Supersedence is read from the Federal Register text of the newer AD — the FAA publishes no structured field for it — and names only ADs held in our index.

Prompted by reports that additional airplanes have been found with the same cracks.

Full official abstract

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-20-13 for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA-28-161, PA-28-181, and PA-28R- 201 airplanes. AD 2015-20-13 required inspecting the right wing rib at wing station 140.09 for cracks and taking necessary corrective action. This AD retains the actions for AD 2015-20-13 and adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports that additional airplanes have been found with the same cracks. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
