Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a compulsory safety order from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Think of it as a recall notice with legal teeth for aircraft owners.

Who it hits: Owners and operators of Piper PA-34-200T Seneca aeroplanes with serial numbers between 34-7570001 and 34-7770369.

What you must do: Inspect and modify the fuel lines according to the technical instructions in Piper Service Bulletin No. 584. This law doesn’t describe the actual mechanical steps — it simply orders you to follow that manufacturer document (a technique called 'incorporation by reference').

Deadline: Within 100 hours of flying time after 28 February 1978.

Why it matters: Fuel line failures can cause engine stoppage or in-flight fires. This directive mandates a specific safety fix for a identified batch of high-risk aircraft.
