Airworthiness Directive 2004-15-19
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. Model PA-46-500TP Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain the New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Model PA-46-500TP airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect (one-time) for the existence of any protective cover over the percussion caps or silicon tube installed over the end of the trigger mechanism pin of the oxygen generators, and remove any protective cover or silicon tube found. This AD is the result of reports of the above conditions found on the affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to detect and remove any protective cover over the percussion cap, or any silicon tube over the end of the trigger mechanism pin, which could result in failure of the emergency oxygen system. This failure could lead to the crew and passengers not being able to get oxygen in an emergency situation.
Which aircraft AD 2004-15-19 applies to
Whether AD 2004-15-19 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
