Piper PA-32-301T — Airworthiness Directives & records checklist
80 Piper PA-32-301Ts are on the U.S. registry. Here’s what a records review covers for one — the Airworthiness Directives that apply, the known trouble spots, and the checklist a buyer or owner should hold every logbook against.
Airworthiness Directives that apply to the Piper PA-32-301T
- one-timeAD 2013-02075 — Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc. · 2013-02-04
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. (type certificate previously held by The New Piper Aircraft Inc.) PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, and PA-44 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of control cable assembly failures that may lead to fail…
This is the applicability list. Which of these are complied with, their computed next-due dates, and the 19 serial/mod-conditional ADs that actually apply to your aircraft come from its digitized logbooks — that’s the verified report.
Known trouble spots on the PA-32-301T
After a PA-28 wing separated in flight, an AD requires calculating a factored service life and eddy-current inspecting the main wing spar bolt holes on high-time / high-cycle airframes (training fleet especially). Check for the spar factored-service-life calculation and any inspection.
Many Hartzell and McCauley constant-speed props carry blade-shank or hub ADs plus a calendar/hours overhaul interval; blade corrosion and hub grease leaks are common findings. Confirm the prop AD status and last overhaul against the interval.
