AD/PA-22/29 - Fuselage Structure, Upper Cabin - Inspection - CANCELLED

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-22/29) that applied to Piper PA-22 aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer and Colt series aeroplanes.

What changed: Previously, these aircraft owners had to inspect the upper cabin structure every three years. As of 25 September 2008, this inspection is no longer mandatory under an Airworthiness Directive. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority decided this specific maintenance task no longer warranted a mandatory safety directive.

Why it matters: Owners of these vintage aircraft are no longer legally required to perform this specific structural inspection at three-year intervals, though they should still follow general maintenance guidelines.
