Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels a previous safety rule that required owners of Piper PA-31 aircraft to service their emergency electrical fuel pumps every 2,000 hours of flight time.

Who it affects: Operators of Piper PA-31 series aeroplanes (twin-engine piston aircraft).

Why it matters: You no longer have to perform this specific maintenance just because CASA (the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) mandates it. The regulator decided this rule—originally a unique Australian requirement not based on manufacturer guidance—was no longer necessary for airworthiness. Your emergency fuel pumps still need to work, but CASA won't dictate the exact maintenance interval anymore.
