Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires operators of specified Piper PA‑23 series aeroplanes (limited model/serial-number ranges) to carry out the inspections and remedial actions set out in Piper Service Bulletin No. 822 within 10 flight hours after 19 May 1986. It was issued because a batch of hydraulic hoses did not meet pressure requirements.

The rule binds listed aircraft owners/operators (who bear the costs); the regulator mandates compliance and delegates the technical steps to Piper’s service bulletin.
