Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The AD cancels a prior mandatory safety requirement that required annual inspections of the stabilator attach fittings and nearby fuselage structure on Piper PA‑34 (Seneca) aeroplanes. It affects owners and operators of those aircraft.

Because CASA concluded the inspections are no longer necessary as a regulatory requirement, the annual inspection mandate was removed as of 23 October 2008, reducing mandatory maintenance and administrative costs (inspections may still be done voluntarily).
