Several Members have inquired about the possibility of the FAA issuing an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the PA-25 Pawnee. The SSA sent an inquiry on the subject to the FAA and received the following reply:
“The FAA is currently gathering the appropriate data related to the Argentina AD and is evaluating the unsafe condition and proposed corrective actions. If the FAA takes action to issue a corresponding NPRM/AD, then these will be available on the regulations.gov website. At this time, the FAA is aware of some exemptions that have been granted by other aviation authorities. Since this is currently an ANAC AD, it’s not mandated for US operators.”
