Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive requires owners of early Piper Comanche aeroplanes (PA‑24, PA‑24‑250, PA‑24‑260 with serials beginning “24-”, up to 24‑5026) to install or inspect the rudder balance weight per Piper Service Bulletin No. 362A.

Comply within the specified short deadline (50 flight hours after 18 Dec 1972 or before 1 Feb 1973). It’s a compulsory safety fix — noncompliance is illegal and can risk loss of control.
