Airworthiness Directive 2021-09-02
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-04-07 which applied to certain Piper Aircraft, Inc., (Piper) Models PA-46- 350P (Malibu Mirage), PA-46R-350T (Malibu Matrix), and PA-46-500TP (Malibu Meridian) airplanes. AD 2021-04-07 required identifying and correcting nonconforming stall warning heat control systems. Since AD 2021-04-07 was issued, the FAA was notified of an error in the stall warning heat control modification kit part number. This AD retains all of the actions in AD 2021-04-07 and corrects the incorrect modification kit part number. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2021-09-02 applies to
Serial numbers listed apply to specific PA-46-350P (Malibu Mirage) and PA-46-500TP (Malibu Meridian) airplanes. Additionally applies to any PA-46-350P, PA-46R-350T (Malibu Matrix), or PA-46-500TP airplane, all serial numbers, if the left wing has been replaced with a serviceable (more than zero hours time-in-service) wing.
Whether AD 2021-09-02 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.
