Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule that applied to Piper PA-25 Pawnee agricultural aircraft.

What it does:

Cancels Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD/PA-25/9 effective 20 November 2008
Removes the legal requirement for owners to seal the fuel tank bay on these aircraft

What the old rule required:

Sealing of openings between the rear fuel tank bay and the hopper bay (the compartment where agricultural chemicals are carried)
Compliance was originally required by September 1971

Why it matters: This is regulatory housekeeping. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has determined this specific safety modification is no longer necessary, reducing compliance burden on owners of these older agricultural aircraft.
