Anyone know where they are on the wing spar inspections for some/all PA-28 due to the Embry-Riddle Arrow accident? Has the FAA ruled yet?

SB1345 was issued on 3/27/2020, and covers ALL of the Arrow family. No other models are listed in this SB.

I would add that the SB requires an Eddy Current Inspection but it also concerns only those acft that have over 5,000H TIS.

I just sold a Dakota PA-28-236. I wondered if it would be covered. Really surprised the SB just covers the Arrow & not other Cherokees.
Wonder if the FAA will issue an AD?
My understanding is SB's are not mandatory, just suggested.

Possible different design due to retract vs non retract.

I think we’ve covered here that it’s the same design. They’re just going to target a narrow segment of the population until the next crash.

I believe the -236 Dakota has a different spar than all other PA28s. Higher gross weight and longer wing than the Cherokee 235 it was derived from. It's listed as the only exception here: https://www.piperflyer.org/maintenance- ... -know.html

Maybe, but the -201 arrow, -161 Warrior, -181 Archer all have longer wings and higher gross weights than their Hershey Bar predecessors and the spar attachment is, if not the same, the same as the accident aircraft.
