Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. PA-23, PA- 24, PA-28, PA-32, and PA-34 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA-23, PA-24, PA-28, PA-32, and PA-34 series airplanes that incorporate certain Facet (manufactured by the Purolator Products Company) induction air filters. This AD requires replacing these induction air filters. This AD results from reports of cracking, splitting, crumbling, and deterioration (referred to as damage hereon) of Facet/Purolator induction air filters manufactured between a certain time period. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent pieces of a damaged induction air filter from being ingested into the engine, which could result in reduced or loss of engine power.

Which aircraft AD 99-05-09 applies to

MakesPurolator/Facet

Part-conditional — 638873, CA161PL, 460-632, PS60007-2.

Applies only if a Purolator/Facet induction air filter (Purolator P/N 638873, Model No. CA161PL; also supplied under Piper P/N 460-632 (PS60007-2)) manufactured January 1997 through September 1998 and marked with a 1/4-inch 'FACET-638873' ink stamp is installed; if not installed, the AD does not apply. Requires replacement with an FAA-approved induction air filter, to prevent pieces of a damaged filter from being ingested into the engine and causing reduced or loss of engine power. Installed on Piper airplanes per the referenced Piper part number.

Whether AD 99-05-09 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.

Is AD 99-05-09 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.
