Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document cancels a previous aviation safety rule that required regular inspections of wing controls (ailerons) on Piper PA-44 Seminole aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-44 Seminole aeroplanes.

What changed: Previously, you had to inspect the ailerons for cracks every 500 hours of flight time. This cancellation removes that requirement entirely because the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) decided those inspections were no longer warranted.
