Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this document does: This officially cancels a previous safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-36/16) that applied to Piper PA-36 (Pawnee Brave) aircraft.

What the old rule required: The original directive (issued in 1977) required owners to replace worn control rod end bearings in the engine and flight controls within 100 hours of flying time, following specific manufacturer instructions (Piper Service Bulletin No. 516).

Why it's cancelled: As of 12 March 2009, this safety requirement is no longer necessary. After 32 years, the bearings have presumably been replaced on all affected aircraft, making the rule redundant.

Who this affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-36 agricultural aircraft. This removes a compliance burden rather than imposing a new one.
