Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Owners/operators of specified Piper PA‑31 series aircraft (listed by serial ranges) must inspect the elevator bell crank and control rod — key components of pitch control — under a mandatory CASA rule. The first inspection is within 100 flight hours after 31 Jan 1978, with repeats every three years. This measure prevents catastrophic pitch‑control failure; inspection procedures are in Piper Service Letter No. 789.
