{"abstract":"We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Piper Aircraft, Inc. (type certificate previously held by The New Piper Aircraft Inc.) PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, and PA-44 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of control cable assembly failures that may lead to failure of the horizontal stabilator control system and could result in loss of pitch control. This proposed AD would require inspections of the stabilator control system and replacement of parts as necessary. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2012/08/02/2012-18618.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":39,"title":14}],"citation":"77 FR 45979","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2012-09-17","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 17, 2012.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FAA-2012-0731","Directorate Identifier 2012-CE-020-AD"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2012-18618","effective_on":null,"end_page":45981,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2012/08/02/2012-18618.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/08/02/2012-18618/airworthiness-directives-piper-aircraft-inc-airplanes","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2012-18618?publication_date=2012-08-02","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2012-08-02/2012-18618/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":642,"last_updated":"2026-08-26 08:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-08-02/pdf/2012-18618.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2012-18618.pdf?1343825362","publication_date":"2012-08-02","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2012/08/02/2012-18618.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AA64":{"issue":"202410","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202410&RIN=2120-AA64&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AA64"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - See Attachments","document_id":"FAA-2012-0731-0009"},{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - See Attachments","document_id":"FAA-2012-0731-0002"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2012-0731","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"FAA-2012-0731","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"2012-CE-020-AD","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2012-11-18T05:00:26Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":45979,"subtype":null,"title":"Airworthiness Directives; Piper Aircraft, Inc.
