Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument formally cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-31/3, removing the longstanding legal requirement for owners/operators of Piper PA‑31 series aeroplanes (e.g., Navajo, Chieftain) to perform the specific aileron control cable inspection.

CASA considers the directive obsolete because the original one‑time inspection deadline passed decades ago and the safety issue was resolved, so the rule is now redundant.
