This Directive was not based on a US Directive. This Directive and SB No. 261 required compliance in 1968 so the unsafe condition no longer exists. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nDavid Villiers  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n12 August 2008","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/PA-32/11","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/PA-32/11","content":"## AD/PA-32/11","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Wing Rear Spar Attach Bolts - Inspection","sectionType":"part","heading":"Wing Rear Spar Attach Bolts - Inspection","content":"## Wing Rear Spar Attach Bolts - Inspection","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"10/2008","sectionType":"part","heading":"10/2008","content":"## 10/2008","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":2010},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument terminates the effect of the previous Airworthiness Directive without expanding regulatory scope; it simply removes an outdated safety requirement."},"complexity_factors":["Single operative provision (cancellation)","No defined terms or interpretation section","No conditional logic, exceptions, or penalties","Extremely short length (under 200 words)","Minimal cross-referencing (only historical references to 1968 directive)"],"plain_english_summary":"This document officially cancels an old aviation safety rule (**Airworthiness Directive**) that required owners of Piper PA-32 aircraft (Cherokee Six models) to inspect the bolts holding the wings to the fuselage.\n\n**Who it affects:** Owners and operators of Piper PA-32 series aeroplanes.\n\n**Why it matters:** The original inspection rule was issued in 1968 to detect potential problems with wing rear spar attachment bolts.
