(Piper) PA-31 series airplanes. The earlier NPRM would have superseded AD 80-26-05, which requires you to repetitively inspect the main landing gear (MLG) inboard door hinges and attachment angles for cracks on the affected airplanes, and requires you to replace any cracked MLG inboard door hinge or attachment angle. The earlier NPRM proposed to require you to inspect the original design MLG inboard door hinge assemblies for cracks; and replace the original design MLG inboard door hinge assemblies with parts of improved design either immediately (cracks) or at a certain time period (no cracks). This supplemental NPRM results from reports of cracks in the improved design MLG inboard door hinge assemblies on the affected airplanes. We are revising the NPRM to propose inspections on the improved design parts as well as the original design parts. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect and correct cracked MLG inboard door hinge assemblies. These cracked door hinge assemblies could result in the MLG becoming jammed with consequent loss of control of the airplane during landing operations. 65 FR 45323 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2000-07-21/00-18525 00-18525 fr21jy00-23 RIN 2120-AA64 4910-13-P Docket No. 96-CE-69-AD https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2000-07-21/00-18525 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-21/html/00-18525.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-21/pdf/00-18525.pdf Air Transportation Aircraft Aviation Safety Safety 4 p. 45323 45326 65 FR 45323 Title 14 Part 39 14 CFR Part 39 RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.
