Mr. Don Trompler Piper Aircraft Corporation 2926 Piper Drive Vero Beach, Florida 31402-2206
Dear Mr. Trompler:

Enclosed is a copy of a letter dated June 20, 1985, from Aviation Safety and Management Consultants. This letter alleges that several general aviation airplanes including the Piper PA-23-150 and the PA-24-250 do not meet the requirements of CAR 3.553 and CAR 3.444 (c) pertaining to fuel drain provisions.

Please review these allegations and determine how compliance was shown to these regulations for these airplanes. Please provide your comments, including the details on the method of showing compliance. In addition, please provide this office with a copy of the fuel system drawing that defines the installation with regard to draining.

Please expedite action on this matter. The inquiry was made through Senator Packwood and Congressman Robert F. Smith's offices.
