Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates visual inspection of the main landing gear cylinders on fixed‑gear Piper PA‑32 (Cherokee Six) aircraft registered in Australia, checking for cracks at the base of the torque‑link attachment lugs. Owners/operators must inspect within 100 flight hours after 31 Dec 1974 and thereafter each time a Maintenance Release is issued. The rule prevents landing‑gear collapse by catching fatigue cracks before they cause accidents.
