What this AD requires

This amendment clarifies information contained in Airworthiness Directive (AD) 83-22-01, which currently requires inserting certain zero fuel weight limitations into the Limitations Section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) on certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) Models PA-23-235, PA-23-250, and PA-E23-250 airplanes. The FAA has received reports that reference in the AD to two of the AFM reports contains incorrect information. In particular, reference to Report 1308, Revision B, contains the words ``normally aspirated''; and reference to Report 1360, Revision B, contains the word ``Turbocharged.'' These references should be removed. This document clarifies AD 83-22-01 by removing the words ``normally aspirated'' and ``Turbocharged'' from the reference to these reports. The actions specified in this AD are intended to continue to prevent possible wing structure damage caused by excessive fuel weight, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

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.

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.
