If the steering collar fails, the pilot could lose directional control on the ground, potentially causing a runway accident.\n\n**Who must comply:**\nAnyone operating a Cessna 205 series aircraft (also designated model 210-5).\n\n**When to do it:**\n- **First inspection:** within 100 flight hours after 31 January 1975\n- **Repeat inspection:** every 100 flight hours thereafter\n\nThis is a recurring maintenance requirement, not a one-off fix."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-205-11-nose-landing-gear/documents"}}
