## Abstract

This action makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-12-12, which was published in the Federal Register on June 6, 1996 (61 FR 28733), and concerns The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA31, PA31-300, PA31-325, and PA31-350 airplanes. That publication incorrectly references the date for the instructions to Piper Kit 763- 917 as ``revised June 18, 1980'' instead of ``revised June 18, 1990.'' The AD currently requires repetitively inspecting the upper section of the Fuselage Station (FS) 317.75 bulkhead for cracks, and incorporating one of two reinforcement kits depending on whether cracks are found in the FS 317.75 bulkhead area. This action corrects the AD to reflect the correct date of the instructions to Piper Kit 763-917.
