Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Aerostar (Piper/Ted Smith) 600, 601 and 601P aeroplanes (S/N 0001–0807) to install the Piper attach‑fitting flange fastener kit (Kit No. 59 600‑88A) if it is not already fitted, and ends the need for the previous periodic inspections once the kit is installed. It sets firm compliance deadlines tied to prior inspections or a calendar date (5 September 2009), shifting ongoing inspection burden into a one‑off retrofit and paperwork requirement.
