Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety inspection order for specific Piper PA-34 (Seneca) aircraft. It requires owners or operators to check the pneumatic de-icer tubing (the rubber tubes that inflate to break ice off the wings) for defects.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-34-200T model aircraft with serial numbers between 34-7570001 and 34-7570287 that have pneumatic de-icing systems installed.

What you must do: Inspect the de-icer tubing following the procedures in Piper Service Bulletin No. 491. This must be done within 100 hours of flight time after 31 May 1976.

Why it matters: Faulty de-icer tubing can fail in icing conditions, potentially leading to dangerous ice buildup on the aircraft wings and loss of control.
