Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Owners of early-model Piper PA-34 Seneca aircraft with the listed early serial numbers must inspect the wing walk before every flight and replace it if loose; pilots may perform these daily checks. Within 25 flying hours after 18 December 1972 the wing walk must be replaced and a retainer bracket installed per Piper Service Bulletin LDB-20 by a licensed maintenance engineer. This AD prevents the wing walk detaching in flight or causing slips during ground checks.
