Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a safety directive (called an Airworthiness Directive) that mandates an inspection of the aileron cables on specific Piper PA-31 aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-31 aeroplanes with specific serial numbers (ranging from 31-2 to 31-197, with several exclusions).

What you must do: If your aircraft is on the list, you must have the aileron cables inspected according to Piper Service Bulletin No. 276 within 25 hours of flying time after 4 July 1968.

Why it matters: This prevents catastrophic failure of the control cables that move the ailerons (the flaps on the wings that make the plane turn), ensuring the aircraft remains safe to fly.
