Think of it like a compulsory recall notice, but for aircraft rather than cars.\n\n**What it does:** It requires owners and operators of **Beechcraft 95 \"Travelair\" series aeroplanes** to inspect or modify the **control wheel adaptor** (the component connecting the pilot's steering wheel to the aircraft's control system). The work must follow specific instructions in **Beechcraft Service Instruction No. 0254-156, Revision IV**.\n\n**Who it affects:** Anyone who owns, operates, or maintains any model of Beechcraft 95 Travelair aircraft in Australia.\n\n**When it had to be done:** The deadline was **within 100 hours of flying time after 31 August 1972**. (This is an old directive — Amendment 2 suggests it has been updated twice since the original 1972 issue.)\n\n**Why it matters:** Control wheel adaptors are critical safety components. A failure here means the pilot cannot steer the aircraft.
