Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive mandates recurring inspections of the rudder spar on Piper PA‑36 (Pawnee Brave) aeroplanes with serial numbers 36‑7360001 to 36‑7760003: inspect within 100 hours TIS after 30 April 1977 and every 100 hours thereafter until the rudder is replaced. It affects owners/operators and maintenance providers, imposes ongoing scheduling and cost burdens, creates a trade‑off between repeated inspections and one‑time rudder replacement, and references Piper Service Bulletin No. 518 for technical guidance.
