Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-32/20, which previously required owners of Piper PA-32 (Cherokee Six) aircraft to modify their seat frames.

Who is affected: Owners and operators of these specific aircraft types.

The practical effect: You no longer need to comply with the 1971 requirement to adjust vertically adjustable seats per Piper Service Bulletin No. 337 within 100 flight hours. The cancellation took effect on 25 September 2008.

Why it matters: After 37 years, the safety risk addressed by the original modification was deemed no longer significant enough to warrant mandatory compliance.
