Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially scraps a 1972 aviation safety rule that required owners of Piper PA-30 and PA-39 Twin Comanche aircraft to install a sticker (decal) showing the electrical system voltage next to the external power connection point.

What it does:

Cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-30/16 effective 18 December 2008
Removes the legal obligation for aircraft owners to maintain this specific decal

Why it matters: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) determined this uniquely Australian requirement—originally created without manufacturer support—is no longer necessary for flight safety. Owners of these specific aircraft models are no longer required to comply with the old rule.
