Piper M600 — Maintenance Manual

This document is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the FAA for the Piper PA-46-600TP aircraft. It addresses a critical safety issue regarding the wing splice assembly, which has been found to potentially fail before reaching its established life limit. The directive mandates a revision to the Airworthiness Limitations section of the existing maintenance manual to reduce the life limit of the wing splice assembly from 5,132 hours to 3,767 hours time-in-service. This AD is crucial for maintaining the safety and airworthiness of the affected aircraft, ensuring that operators are aware of the revised limitations and can take appropriate action to comply. The directive is effective from June 27, 2022, and applies to specific serial-numbered airplanes within the PA-46-600TP model.
