This directive prevents a known safety hazard by catching existing damage early and fixing the design flaw that causes it.\n\n**Deadlines:**\n- Inspection must happen within 25 flight hours after 8 December 1975\n- Modification must happen within 100 flight hours after 8 December 1975\n\n**Background note:** This aligns with a US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) directive (AD 75-25-01), showing this was a known international safety issue."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The directive sets inspection and modification requirements for the listed Model 200 serial numbers and specifies compliance timeframes and a manufacturer service instruction.
