Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive (AD)—a safety rule issued by the aviation regulator—cancels a previous maintenance requirement for Piper PA-38 Tomahawk aeroplanes.

What it does:

Cancels the previous requirement to inspect for loose screws in the carburettor air box valve (part of the engine air intake system) according to Piper Service Bulletin 851.
Took effect on 18 December 2008.

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

Why it matters: The original safety check (required since 1986) is no longer deemed necessary. This removes that specific maintenance burden from aircraft owners.
