Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does This directive requires owners of specific Piper PA-42 Cheyenne III aircraft to replace fuel quantity placards with new ones showing reduced fuel capacity.

Who it affects Owners and operators of Piper PA-42 aircraft with serial numbers 42-7800001 through 42-7801004 and 42-8001001 through 42-8001106.

Why it matters The manufacturer discovered the original placards displayed incorrect (higher than actual) fuel capacity. This could cause pilots to miscalculate flight range and potentially run out of fuel. The directive ensures flight planning documents reflect the true usable fuel quantity.

What must be done

Replace existing fuel quantity placards with corrected versions
Update pilot operating handbooks and weight and balance calculations
Complete this work within 100 hours of flight time after 31 August 1984
