Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially cancels a previous safety inspection requirement for Piper PA-36 (Pawnee Brave) aircraft.

The original airworthiness directive required owners to inspect fuel tank vent line holes according to Piper Service Bulletin No. 508, within 100 hours of flight time after August 1976.

What this means for aircraft owners:

As of 12 March 2009, you no longer need to perform this specific fuel tank vent inspection
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has removed this maintenance requirement
This reduces compliance burdens for operators of these agricultural aircraft

Essentially, this is a housekeeping measure that eliminates an outdated safety check that is no longer considered necessary.
