July 1997.

           Note 2: This refinement kit may have been incorporated as specified in Piper SB 897A; in which case, no further action is required.

              3. Incorporate Elevator Butt Rib Reinforcement Kit, part number 766-642, in accordance with instructions contained in the kit; as specified in Piper SB No. 1008, dated 30 September 1997.

           Note 3: If AD/PA-31/126 Amdt 3 is applicable to an aircraft affected by Requirement 3, then the spar replacement required by AD/PA-31/126 Amdt 3 should, if possible, be accomplished before incorporating Kit 766-642. No credit is given for accomplishing Piper SB 864.

           Note 4: FAA AD 2001-06-01 Amdt 39-12148 refers.

 Compliance: 1.a. Within 100 hours time in service after the last inspection previously
                  required by AD/PA-31/13 (AD 70-26-06), and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours time in service; until Piper Kit No. 760-465 is incorporated.

                  1.b.                              Before further flight.

                  1.c.                              Upon accumulating 2,000 hours total time in service or within 100 hours time in service after 9 August 2001, whichever occurs later.

                  2.a. and 2.b. Upon accumulating 2.000 hours total time in service or within 100 hours time in service after 9 August 2001, whichever occurs later.

                  3. Upon accumulating 2,000 hours time in service or within 100 hours time in service after 9 August 2001, whichever occurs later.

           The compliance times of the original issue of this Directive remain unchanged by this issue.

           This amendment becomes effective on 10 October 2001.

           Background: The FAA policy of incorporating modifications, when available, that will terminate the need for repetitive inspections, prompted the issue of FAA AD 2001-06-01, which superseded three existing FAA ADs; and were reflected in CASA Directives. This Directive consolidates the inspection requirements of the previously issued Directives, and requires terminating action for the inspections.

           Amendment 1 is issued to clarify, as Note 3, the installation interrelationship between the elevator spar and the butt rib reinforcement kit, following information received from the manufacturer.

           The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 9 August 2001.
