It requires owners and operators of Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six aeroplanes to inspect the bolts that attach the rear wing spar (the main structural beam of the wing) to the aircraft body.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone operating a Piper PA-32 series aircraft in Australia.\n\n**What must be done:** Within 100 hours of flying time after 25 January 1968, operators must complete the inspection following the exact procedures in **Piper Service Bulletin No. 261** (a technical notice from the aircraft manufacturer).\n\n**Why it matters:** The rear spar attach bolts are critical to keeping the wings attached to the fuselage. This directive mandates a one-time inspection to detect any wear, looseness, or damage that could lead to structural failure in flight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-11-wing-rear-spar-attach-bolts-inspection/documents"}}
