After nearly six months flying the Archer, I just learned about a preflight item that I never knew existed. So I thought I’d share for our other Piper flyers incase they also don’t know.
The aft spar attachment under the flap near the wing root as pictured here :

Obviously it’s not on any checklists that I’ve seen, but it’s still a good item to inspect prior to any flight.
