AD/PA-28/10 - Centre Safety Belt Attachment - Inspection - CANCELLED

What this is: A cancellation notice for an old aviation safety rule affecting Piper PA-28 aircraft.

What it originally did: Issued in 1967, the rule required a one-time inspection of the centre seat belt attachment point in family seats, following Piper Service Bulletin No. 245.

What it does now: Cancels that old rule effective 3 July 2008. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority determined that every affected aircraft would have been inspected and repaired (if needed) decades ago, making the mandate unnecessary.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-28 series aeroplanes—though practically, it simply removes an obsolete compliance burden rather than imposing a new one.
