Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is an Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) requiring owners of specific Piper aircraft to modify the fuel selector valve.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche aircraft with serial numbers 30-1 through 30-2000.

What you must do:

Follow the modification instructions in Piper Service Bulletin No. 314
Complete the work within 100 hours of flight time after 31 August 1970

Why it matters: Airworthiness Directives are legally binding. An aircraft that does not comply cannot be flown legally, as it is not considered airworthy. This specific directive addresses a safety issue with the fuel selector valve to prevent potential fuel system failures.
