Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document cancels a previous safety requirement for Piper PA-38 Tomahawk aeroplanes.

What it used to require: The original Airworthiness Directive (AD/PA-38/2) forced owners to remove incorrect rivets from the tail section and replace them with correct ones before the aircraft could receive its certificate of airworthiness (legal proof the plane is safe to fly).

What this document does: It cancels that requirement effective 18 December 2008. Aircraft owners no longer need to perform this specific rivet replacement to comply with this rule.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-38 (Tomahawk) series aircraft in Australia.

Why it matters: It removes a maintenance burden, meaning owners don't have to perform (or prove they performed) this specific modification anymore.
