Who it affects: Anyone operating Piper PA-31 aeroplanes with serial numbers below 31-260 (earlier production models).

What you must do: Follow the instructions in Piper Service Letter No. 512 to modify the rudder tab hinge bracket attachment. This must be done within 100 hours of flying time after 14 February 1969.

Why it matters: This is a safety requirement to ensure the rudder (the moving part on the tail that controls left/right direction) operates correctly and doesn't fail in flight.
