RUSTY PILOTS RETURN TO THE SKIES
Embracing the sentiment " once a pilot always a pilot, " more than 10,000 aviators are now
back in the left seat thanks to the AOPA Rusty Pilots initiative.
PILOT ADS-B ERROR DECLINES
Efforts to focus pilot attention to detail when using multiple call signs in an ADS-B
environment have been followed by improvement, though call sign mismatch remains an
issue. Learn more.
PIPER ALTERNATOR OUT LIGHT/SWITCH, POSSIBLE SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT
The FAA has been made aware of a model PA28-161 Cadet in the Netherlands that had
a " Low Volt " light illuminate, and then white smoke appeared from below the left-hand
side of the instrument panel while in flight. This resulted in the aircrew declaring an
emergency and then landing with no injuries. An investigation found that a fuse in the
alternator aux circuit would have prevented the event. The Piper Aircraft Company
issued a Service Bulletin, SB 991A, dated 1/10/1996, addressing possible smoke formation
from a failed alternator-out switch. The service Bulletin provided instructions for
installing a fuse on the alternator auxiliary terminal. The subject aircraft did not have
the modification to comply with Service Bulletin 991A. The FAA is concerned that other
aircraft affected by SB991A may not have accomplished the modification. The FAA would
like to gather data to determine if this issue requires additional consideration in light of
the reported incident/accident.
This link to the Airworthiness Concern Sheet contains the model and serial numbers
affected by the issue.
Read the original Piper Service Bulletin 991A, Replacement or Modification of the
Alternator Out Light Circuit Fuse.
Read the FAASTeam Fact Sheet for Service Bulletin compliance.
