Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Piper PA-32-260 and PA-32-300 aircraft to inspect the stabilator and drill drain holes per Piper Service Letter No. 615 to stop water collecting, which can cause corrosion or in-flight freezing that might jam the control surface.

The work had to be done within 100 flight hours after 29 September 1972; the AD dates from August 1972, so it would have applied decades ago unless an aircraft was imported later or the modification was reversed.
