AD/PA-20/11 - Flexible Fuel Hose Assembly - Inspection - CANCELLED

This instrument cancels a previous air safety rule that required owners of Piper PA-20 (Pacer) aircraft to inspect their flexible fuel hose assemblies.

What it does:

• Cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-20/11, effective 5 June 2008
• The original rule (from 1972) required a one-time inspection and possible replacement of fuel hoses following manufacturer guidelines

Why it matters:

• The safety risk that prompted the original inspection requirement no longer exists, likely because the affected aircraft and parts are now so old that the issue has either been addressed through normal maintenance or the aircraft have been retired
• Owners of these aircraft no longer need to comply with this specific inspection requirement

Who it affects:

• Owners and operators of Piper PA-20 (Pacer) series aeroplanes
