Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (mandatory safety order) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority under the Civil Aviation Regulations.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of specific Piper Navajo aircraft — specifically models PA-31-300 and PA-31-310 with serial numbers 31-2 through 31-544.

What it requires: Inspect and repair the crossover fuel line located at the fuel control panel. Operators must follow the instructions in Piper Service Bulletin No. 825 to carry out the work.

When: Within 25 hours of flight time after the directive takes effect.

Why it matters: This directive responds to a safety incident where this fuel line leaked and caused an actual fire inside the cockpit. The mandatory repair prevents potentially catastrophic in-flight fires.
