Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety directive (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. It requires owners and operators of specific Piper Aerostar aircraft to inspect and fix a problem with the outboard aileron hinge bolts.

Who it affects: Anyone who owns or operates Aerostar 600 and 700 series aircraft with airframe serial numbers up to and including 0499.

What you must do: You need to follow the instructions in Piper Service Bulletin SB600-73 to inspect and modify the hinge bolt installation. This must be done within 100 hours of flying time after 30 June 1978.

Why it matters: Hinge bolts are critical safety components that keep the ailerons (the moving parts on the wings that control the aircraft's roll) attached to the wing. If they fail, the pilot could lose control of the aircraft.
