This AD and 74-19-01 required compliance within 10 hours time in service after September 1974 so the AD is no longer required. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nDavid Villiers  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n9 September 2008","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/PA-34/15","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/PA-34/15","content":"## AD/PA-34/15","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Outer Wing Spars - Inspection","sectionType":"part","heading":"Outer Wing Spars - Inspection","content":"## Outer Wing Spars - Inspection","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"11/2008","sectionType":"part","heading":"11/2008","content":"## 11/2008","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":2212},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument remains strictly limited to its original purpose of regulating safety inspections for Piper PA-34 aircraft wing spars.

The original rule mandated this inspection within 10 hours of flying time after September 1974. Because that deadline passed more than 30 years ago, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority cancelled the directive on 23 October 2008—it simply wasn't needed anymore. The requirement originally matched a similar American aviation safety rule (USA AD 74-19-01)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-15-outer-wing-spars-inspection-cancelled/documents"}}
