Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document cancels a previous safety requirement for specific aircraft.

What it does:

Removes a rule that required owners of Piper PA-30 and PA-39 Twin Comanche aeroplanes to install a shear pin in their Edo-Aire Mitchell autopilot systems.
The original rule (from 1974) mandated installation of a roll pin within 200 hours of flying time.
As of 18 December 2008, that installation requirement no longer applies.

Who it affects:

Owners and operators of Piper PA-30 and PA-39 (Twin Comanche) series aircraft who were previously subject to the original Airworthiness Directive.

Why it matters:

Eliminates a maintenance obligation that is no longer considered necessary for aviation safety.
