Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive mandates that owners of specific Piper PA-31 aircraft install a cockpit warning placard about uncoordinated manoeuvres (turning without proper rudder input, which can cause dangerous stalls or spins).

Who it affects:

Owners of Piper PA-31 aeroplanes with serial numbers 31-2 through 31-7300923, plus serials 31-7300925, 31-7300927, 31-7300929, and 31-7300931
Owners of Piper PA-31P aeroplanes with serial numbers 31P-1 through 31P-730015

What must be done: Install a warning placard in the cockpit following Piper Service Bulletin No. 456A. This must be completed within 100 hours of flying time after 31 July 1975.

Why it matters: The placard warns pilots against making uncoordinated turns, which can lead to unexpected stalls at low altitude. This prevents accidents by ensuring pilots are reminded of proper flying technique.
