I'm pretty certain my 13000 hr Cherokee 140 will need inspection.
Is anyone aware of a catastrophic wing spar failure issue affecting any PA28s other than Arrows? I've never piloted one, but my experience as a passenger is that the landings, for whatever reason, seem rather more "positive" than those in fixed gear PA28s. I wonder if it is due to a relative lack of damping in the retractable gear compared to the fixed gear versions.
(Cue for lots of Arrow pilots to tell me that every one of their landings are greasers!)
