This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 95-20-07 concerning The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 airplanes, which was published in the Federal Register on October 5, 1995 (60 FR 52073). That publication incorrectly references who may accomplish the inspections of the left and right main gear side brace studs. The AD currently requires the inspection ``* * * by a facility approved by the FAA. * * *'' The Federal Aviation Administration's intent is to have this inspection accomplished ``by a facility or person authorized by the FAA. * * *'' This action corrects the AD to reflect this change.
A correction restates part of an AD that was published incorrectly. It is not an additional requirement and it does not change the AD number or its effective date.

Full official abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes. This action requires repetitively inspecting the main gear side brace studs for cracks and replacing any cracked main gear side brace stud. Several reports of main gear side brace stud cracks on the affected airplanes, including seven incidents where the main landing gear (MLG) collapsed, prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a MLG collapse caused by main gear side brace stud cracks, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
