           Background: Reports were received of failures of the elevator down spring. Failures of the spring were attributed to a breakdown of the cadmium plating, which led to corrosion and subsequent fatigue failure. Amendment 4 relieved the need for on-going repetitive inspections by introducing a life limit on a specified elevator down spring and link.

           Amendment 5 is issued in response to a new FAA AD which mandates certain requirements of the related Piper service bulletin.

           Amendment 4 of this airworthiness directive became effective on 9 October 1997. Amendment 3 of this airworthiness directive became effective on 30 November 1986. The original issue of this airworthiness directive became effective in January 1979.
