Is AD 95-12-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 95-12-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 2000 hours or 24 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 95-12-01 apply to?

AD 95-12-01 applies to Piper — models PA-25, PA-25-235, PA-25-260. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft Corporation PA-25 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 93-21- 12, which currently requires inspecting (one-time visual and dye penetrant) the wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly for cracks or corrosion on certain Piper Aircraft Corporation (Piper) PA-25 series airplanes, and replacing or repairing any cracked or corroded part. This action requires repetitively inspecting (using ultrasonic and dye penetrant procedures) the wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly for cracks or corrosion, replacing or repairing any cracked or corroded part, and reporting to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) the results of the inspections. This action is prompted by the FAA's lack of confidence in detecting internal corrosion in the wing forward spar fuselage attachment fittings while accomplishing the inspection methods required by AD 93-21-12. A report of a crack in the wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly on an airplane where the inspection requirements of AD 93-21-12 were accomplished also prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent possible in-flight separation of the wing from the airplane caused by a cracked or corroded wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 2000 hours or 24 months. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

To prevent in-flight wing separation from cracked/corroded wing forward spar fuselage attachment assembly. Inspect wing forward spar fuselage attach fitting assembly P/N 61005-0 (assembly) and P/N 61006-0 (fitting) for Model PA-25, and P/N 64412-0 (assembly) and P/N 64003-0 (fitting) for Models PA-25-235 and PA-25-260.

Whether AD 95-12-01 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
