## Summary

This document proposes to supersede AD 75-26-18, which currently requires modifying the landing gear selector cable forward attachment pin assembly by installing a safety lock wire on certain The New Piper Aircraft Inc., (Piper) PA31, PA31P and PA31T series airplanes. The proposed action would require the same action as AD 75- 26-18. An incorrect designation of Piper Model PA31 airplanes as Piper Model PA31-310 airplanes in AD 75-26-18 prompted the proposed AD action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent the landing gear selector cable forward attachment pin assembly from becoming separated from the powerpack control arm, which, if not corrected, could cause loss of landing gear retraction or extension.
