If your Comanche has a different serial number, this doesn't apply to you.\n\n**What you must do:** Install insulation around the battery cables inside the battery box. This prevents the cables from touching metal parts and causing electrical faults or fires.\n\n**How to do it:** Follow the instructions in Piper Service Bulletin No. 164, paragraph 11 (this is the manufacturer's official repair guide).\n\n**When:** Immediately. The word \"forthwith\" means you must ground the aircraft or complete this fix before the next flight — there is no grace period."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-24-1-battery-cables-provision-of-insulation-inside-battery-box/documents"}}
