Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous aircraft safety rule (Airworthiness Directive) that applied to Piper PA-25 Pawnee aeroplanes.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-25 Pawnee series aircraft (commonly used for agricultural spraying and banner towing).

What it changes: Previously, owners had to modify their aircraft's wing fuel tanks to meet specific New Zealand Airwork standards by December 1986. As of 20 November 2008, this requirement no longer applies and owners no longer need to comply with those modifications.

Why it matters: This removes an outdated regulatory burden. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has determined the safety modifications are no longer necessary, simplifying maintenance requirements for these older agricultural aircraft.
