Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-31T aeroplanes with serial numbers between 31T-7400002 and 31T-7720057.

What must be done: The aircraft owner must carry out the modification procedure described in Piper Service Bulletin No. 585 within 100 hours of flight time after 30 June 1978.

Why it matters: Faulty control cables can lead to loss of aircraft control. This rule ensures specific planes receive a mandatory hardware fix to keep them airworthy.
