What this does

This document officially cancels a previous aircraft safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-46/6) that required owners of Piper PA-46 (Malibu) aircraft to modify their flap drive mechanisms.

Why it matters

The original rule required a one-time modification of the flap drive mechanism according to manufacturer specifications (Piper Service Bulletin No. 780A) during routine maintenance checks. This modification is no longer considered necessary for flight safety.

Who is affected

Owners and operators of Piper PA-46 (Malibu) series aircraft, and the maintenance organisations that service these planes.

Practical effect

The flap drive modification requirement no longer applies. Aircraft owners no longer need to ensure this specific modification has been made to maintain airworthiness certification for these aircraft.
