AD/PA-42/9 Landing Gear Upper Bearing Retaining Pins and Strut Assemblies Cancelled (Cth)

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

On the effective date specified below, and for the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-42/9.

Piper PA-42 (Cheyenne III) Series Aeroplanes

AD/PA-42/9 Landing Gear Upper Bearing
Retaining Pins and Strut Assemblies 4/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 9 April 2009.

Background:

This AD specified replacement of landing gear components in accordance with Piper SB No. 779A and USA AD 85-08-05.  Compliance was required within 100 hours time in service after October 1985.  USA AD 85-08-05 (Amdt 39-5040) applies to PA-31 and PA-31T (Cheyenne I and II) but not to PA-42 (Cheyenne III).  Piper SB No. 779B was raised to address the PA-42 separately.

Hence, this AD is no longer required.
