Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of specified Piper PA-25-235 aircraft (serial 25‑02 and 25‑2000 through 25‑3731) to inspect the right- and left-hand 3/4" upper longerons near the wing attachment for cracks. The check must use an approved dye‑penetrant method and at least 10× magnification by the next major inspection after 31 August 1973 (unless done within the prior 12 months).

Undetected cracks could compromise fuselage integrity and flight safety.
