Title:
Piper Rudder AD - Let See What Its All About
Topic:
There Is a New AD on Piper Aircrat Rudders and Find Out How It Applies to You
Date and Time:
Tuesday, May 27, 2025, starting at 19:00 Eastern Daylight Time (16:00 PDT; 17:00 MDT; 18:00 CDT; 13:00 HST; 15:00 AKDT; 16:00 Arizona; 23:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Eddie Shields, Tim Haley
Brief Description:
The final rule on the AD, released February 13 and effective March 20, requires the replacement of rudders with rudder posts made from 1025 carbon steel on the affected aircraft with rudders that have posts made from 4130 low-alloy steel. The rule also allows alternative methods of compliance, or AMOCs which, with FAA approval, could ease the anticipated strain on the supply of replacement rudders.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue loading and corrosion of rudder posts made from 1025 carbon steel which, if not addressed, could result in a broken rudder and consequent reduced ability of the flight crew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane.
