Airworthiness Directives; Aerostar Aircraft Corporation PA-60-600 (Aerostar 600) Series (Formerly Piper Aircraft Corporation) Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Aerostar Aircraft Corporation (Aerostar) PA-60-600 series airplanes. This action requires repetitively inspecting the fuselage horizontal stabilizer attach fittings for cracks, and replacing any cracked fuselage horizontal stabilizer attach fitting. A report of several cracks found on the forward horizontal stabilizer attach spar fitting on an Aerostar Model PA-60-601P airplane prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent undetected cracked fuselage horizontal attach fittings, which could result in the fuselage horizontal stabilizer separating from the airplane while in flight with subsequent loss of control of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 200 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Which aircraft AD 95-23-11 applies to

Extracted text begins at the standard 'preceding applicability provision' boilerplate; the AD's actual airplane model/serial list precedes this excerpt and was not captured by extraction. Requires inspection/replacement of the forward (P/N 210006-001) and aft (P/N 210007-001) fuselage horizontal stabilizer attach fittings for cracks, per Aerostar Service Bulletin SB600-130 dated September 26, 1995; the '600' SB prefix suggests the Aerostar 600-series shared airframe but is not a confirmed model applicability statement.

Whether AD 95-23-11 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 95-23-11 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

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.
