Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels an outdated aviation safety rule that required specific aircraft owners to modify their wing fuel tank caps.

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

What it does

Removes a requirement to perform a one-time modification to wing fuel tank caps (originally mandated in 1978 under Piper Service Bulletin No. 351).
The cancellation takes effect on 5 June 2008.

Why it matters The safety risk identified in 1978—relating to fuel cap integrity—no longer exists. After 30 years, affected aircraft have either been modified or retired from service. This removes an obsolete compliance burden from aircraft owners and maintenance providers.
