AD/PA-25/34 - Passenger Seat Restraint Installation - CANCELLED

What this is: This document officially cancels a specific aviation safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-25/34) for Piper PA-25 Pawnee aircraft.

What it used to require: Originally issued in 1976, the directive mandated that owners install upper torso restraints (shoulder harnesses) on older aircraft certified before 1967.

What it does now: As of 17 January 2008, this specific rule no longer applies. The safety requirement has been moved to a broader, general directive (AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1) that covers multiple aircraft types rather than singling out the Piper Pawnee.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-25 (Pawnee) series agricultural aircraft.

Why it matters: This is administrative housekeeping. The safety standard hasn't disappeared—it's just been consolidated into a general rule. Owners must now follow the general directive instead of this specific one.
