Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This directive cancels the previous AD that required repetitive 100‑hour inspections of the Piper PA‑34 Seneca wing spar lower tension strap. CASA found the task was intended by the manufacturer as a one‑time action, not a recurring check, so the repeated inspection is no longer justified. Affects PA‑34 owners/operators; the recurring requirement was removed effective 23 October 2008.
