Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes
We are revising Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-26-19 that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model J-2 airplanes equipped with wing lift struts. AD 99-26-19 required repetitively inspecting the wing lift struts for dents and corrosion; repetitively inspecting the wing lift strut forks for cracks; replacing any dented or corroded wing lift strut; replacing any cracked wing lift strut fork; and repetitively replacing the wing lift strut forks at specified times for certain airplanes. AD 99-26-19 also required incorporating a "NO STEP" placard on the wing lift strut. Since we issued AD 99-26- 19, we were informed that paragraph (c) had been misinterpreted and caused confusion. This AD clarifies the intent of the language in paragraph (c) of AD 99-26-19 and retains all other requirements of AD 99-26-19. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. J-2 Series Airplanes That Are Equipped With Wing Lift Struts
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) J-2 series airplanes equipped with wing lift struts. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the wing lift struts for dents and corrosion and the wing lift strut forks for cracks; replacing any strut found with corrosion or dents, or forks with cracks; and repetitively replacing the wing lift strut forks. This AD also requires incorporating a ``NO STEP'' placard on the lift strut. This AD is the result of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inadvertently omitting the J-2 series airplanes from the applicability of AD 99-01-05. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent in-flight separation of the wing from the airplane caused by wing lift struts with dents or corrosion or wing lift forks with cracks, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
