It is legally binding on aircraft owners and operators.\n\n**What it requires:** Owners and operators of specific Piper PA-34 Seneca aircraft must inspect the rivets in the fuselage (the main body of the plane). This applies only to:\n- PA-34-200 models with serial numbers between 34-7250001 and 34-7450220\n- PA-34-200T models with serial numbers between 34-7570001 and 34-7670292\n\n**How to comply:** Follow the inspection procedures detailed in Piper Service Bulletin No. 545. The work must be done within 100 hours of flight time after 31 May 1977.\n\n**Why it matters:** This ensures the structural integrity of the aircraft. Rivets are critical fasteners holding the fuselage together; faulty rivets could lead to structural failure in flight."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-34-22-fuselage-structure-rivets-inspection/documents"}}
