Replacement of rudder posts not made from 4130N
On 13.02.25, FAA issued Airworthiness Directive 2025-02-11 which requires the replacement of the rudder post on a large number of Piper types, where the part is not made from 4130N steel. Compliance time varies between 2 years and 10 years depending on whether a beacon light is fitted to the top of the fin post and depending on the power of the engine installed.
LAA Alert A-01-2025 has been created to communicate this to potentially affected owners.
