The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require Piper Aircraft Corporation to add more detailed spin precautions to the pilot handbooks and flight manuals for the Piper PA-28-140. These precautions must cover how fuel loading affects the airplane's center of gravity and specify the maximum fuel loads allowed or recommended during typical spin training.
