Piper Aircraft concluded 2024 with its best performance in over two decades, delivering 291 aircraft, driven by the launch of the M700 FURY and growing demand for the Archer DX. As the company celebrates this milestone, it now faces a challenge with a new FAA mandate requiring rudder replacements on 31,000 vintage Piper planes due to corrosion and fatigue in the rudder posts. The directive, effective March 2025, impacts models from the J-series Cubs to PA-22 Tri-Pacers and follows safety concerns from two non-fatal accidents in Alaska. ▶️More details here - https://aviationtoday.in/piper-aircraft/piper-aircraft-record-sales-in-20-years-faa-mandates-rudder-change-for-31000-planes/
