Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. (Piper) PA28, PA32, PA34, and PA44 series airplanes. This action will require inspecting and modifying the flap lever assembly. Reports of worn flap handle attach bolts and elongated holes in the flap lever to cable mounting attach point prompted this AD action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the flap handle attach bolt and sudden retraction of the flaps, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane.
