AD/PA-42/7 - Fuel Quantity Placards - Replacement - CANCELLED

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-42/7) affecting specific Piper aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-42 (Cheyenne III) series aeroplanes.

The change: The original directive required replacement of fuel quantity placards (labels showing fuel levels) in accordance with Piper Service Bulletin No. 777 within 100 hours of flight time after August 1984. This cancellation removes that requirement effective 9 April 2009.

Why it matters: The safety issue that originally required the placard replacement is no longer considered a risk. Cancelling the directive reduces compliance burdens on aircraft operators while maintaining safety standards through other means.
