Can someone here give me the straight skivvy n the recent A.D. that has hit the Piper Cherokee line?
As I understand this, any Cherokee or other models listed will need to have the inspection done when the aircraft reaches 5000 hours. A potential seller told me the other day, along with their A&P, that the 5,000 hours "time in service" is predicated on the number of 100-hour inspections the aircraft has had related to the total time the plane has been in service.
I believe the FAA dropped this for an inspection at 5000 hours; or before the next annual for aircraft over the 5K hour benchmark.
Am I not reading this chart right?
