Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain PIAGGIO AERO INDUSTRIES S.p.A. (PIAGGIO) Model P-180 airplanes. This AD requires you to replace the four defective horizontal stabilizer hinge bushings with replacement bushings. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Italy. The actions specified by this AD are intended to replace defective bushings before they cause failure of the horizontal stabilizer. Such failure could lead to reduced or loss of control of the aircraft.
