(Piper) PA-31 series airplanes. AD 80-26-05 also requires you to replace any cracked MLG inboard door hinge or attachment angle with parts of improved design. This AD results from the Federal Aviation Administration's policy on aging commuter-class aircraft and the determination that an improved design MLG inboard door hinge and attachment assembly, when incorporated, will eliminate the need for the currently required repetitive short-interval inspections; however, we have received reports of cracks in the improved design MLG inboard door hinge assemblies on the affected airplanes. This AD retains the current repetitive inspections contained in AD 80-26-05, and requires inspections on the improved design parts. The actions specified by this 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 78902 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2000-12-18/00-31451 00-31451 fr18de00-4 RIN 2120-AA64 4910-13-P Docket No. 96-CE-69-AD Amendment 39-12035 AD 2000-25-01 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2000-12-18/00-31451 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-18/html/00-31451.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-18/pdf/00-31451.pdf Air Transportation Aircraft Aviation Safety Incorporation by Reference Safety 4 p. 78902 78905 65 FR 78902 Title 14 Part 39 14 CFR Part 39 RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; The New Piper Aircraft, Inc.
