Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule affecting specific aircraft.

What it was: This cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/PA-34/13, which previously required owners of Piper PA-34 (Seneca) twin-engine aeroplanes to replace special screws (called "propeller damper screws") in the propeller assembly.

The history: The original rule, issued in 1974, required aircraft owners to complete this replacement within 100 hours of flying time, following manufacturer instructions (Piper Service Letter No. 706).

What happens now: As of 23 October 2008, this maintenance requirement no longer applies. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has determined these specific screw replacements are no longer necessary for safe flight operations.
