Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Piper PA-36-285, PA-36-300 and PA-36-375 aircraft to complete safety modifications before certification (or by 1 January 1983): add a cockpit “No Smoking” placard, install bonding points at fuel fillers and earthing points at main wheels to prevent refuelling sparks, and for crop‑dusting versions fully seal spray equipment to stop pesticide vapour ingress. It reduces fire risk and pilot chemical exposure.
