AD: Avidyne

AD NUMBER: 2008-06-28
MANUFACTURER: Primary Flight Displays
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-06-28
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Avidyne Corporation (Avidyne)Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) (Part Numbers (P/Ns) 700-00006-00, -001, -002, -003, and -100)that are installed on airplanes. This AD requires a check of the maintenance records and inspection of the PFD (if necessary) to determine if an affected serial number PFD is installed. If an affected serial number PFD is installed, this AD requires you to incorporate information that limits operation when certain conditions for the PFD or backup instruments exist. This AD results from several field reports of PFDs displaying incorrect altitude and airspeed information. We are issuing this AD to prevent certain conditions from existing when PFDs display incorrect attitude,altitude, and airspeed information. This could result in airspeed/altitude mismanagement or spatial disorientation of the pilot with consequent loss of airplane control, inadequate traffic separation, or controlled flight into terrain.
