Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. It requires owners and operators of specific Piper aircraft to install a wing reinforcement kit to fix a structural safety issue.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-28-151 model aeroplanes only.

What must be done: Install the wing reinforcement modification according to Piper Service Bulletin No. 424 (using Kit No. 760878V). This work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 July 1974.

Why it matters: The modification addresses potential structural weakness in the wings. Once installed, it removes a previous weight restriction (imposed by Directive AD/PA-28/45), allowing the aircraft to carry full passenger and cargo loads again.
