This Continuation Sheet, which is part of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA00048SE, prescribes the conditions and limitations under which the product for which the STC was issued meets the standards for airworthiness of the Federal Aviation Regulations.

The conditions and limitations of Type Certificate Data Sheet Number A20SO apply except where superseded by the following:

1. The system consists of eighty-six vortex generators on the wing and vertical tail of the airplane and four strakes (two on each nacelle).

2. There may be a maximum combined total of four vortex generators missing from the wing and/or vertical tail before replacements must be installed.

3. If any of the eighty-six vortex generators are missing, the airplane must be operated within the limitations of the basic airplane flight manual until replacements are installed.

STC Compatibility: This increased gross weight STC has not been shown compatible with any wing extension or winglet modifications and is only valid to the weights specified on this modification. The installer is responsible for assessing the impact of concurrently installed STCs which may affect wing loads, particularly fatigue and static requirements. Additional analysis, FAA approved data, and FAA approved inspections may be needed to meet these requirements.

Eligibility: Piper Model PA-31-325 aircraft with serial numbers 31-7300932 and on are eligible this modification.
