Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous safety rule (called an Airworthiness Directive or AD) that applied to specific Piper aircraft models.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-32 (Cherokee Six) aeroplanes.

What changed:

The old rule (AD/PA-32/71) required owners to inspect and modify the aileron balance weight attachment (a part of the wing control system) within 200 flight hours after April 1981.
As of 25 September 2008, that requirement no longer exists. Owners no longer need to perform this specific inspection or modification.

Why it matters: This removes a compliance burden and maintenance cost for operators of these aircraft, as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority determined the safety issue is no longer a concern.
