The inspection was not based on a Piper service document. USA AD 74-19-01 specified the same inspection. This AD and 74-19-01 required compliance in 1974 so the AD is no longer required. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nDavid Villiers  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n14 August 2008","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/PA-32/32","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/PA-32/32","content":"## AD/PA-32/32","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Outer Wing Spar - Inspection","sectionType":"part","heading":"Outer Wing Spar - Inspection","content":"## Outer Wing Spar - 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":2049},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The instrument eliminates the entire regulatory requirement rather than amending it.
