This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-01-01, which was published in the Federal Register on January 2, 1997 (62 FR 10), and concerns The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes. The amendment number in this AD is incorrectly referenced as Amendment 39- 9782 instead of 39-9872 in two places. All other reference is correct. The AD currently requires repetitively inspecting the main gear sidebrace studs for cracks, and replacing any main gear sidebrace stud found cracked. This action corrects the AD to reflect the right amendment number throughout the entire document.

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 supersedes AD 95-20-07, which currently requires repetitively inspecting the main gear sidebrace studs for cracks on certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA24, PA28R, PA30, PA32R, PA34, and PA39 series airplanes, and replacing any cracked main gear sidebrace stud. This AD retains the repetitive inspection and possible replacement requirements of AD 95-20-07; specifies in the ``Applicability'' section of the AD that certain Model PA34-200T airplanes could contain a certain main gear sidebrace assembly configuration that is not affected; and incorporates additional modification and replacement options. This AD results from additional information received by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after the issuance of AD 95-20-07 on the design and service history of the affected airplanes concerning this subject. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a main landing gear collapse caused by main gear sidebrace stud cracks, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
