This could potentially lead to failure of the flight controls.\n\n**Who must comply:** Anyone operating a Cessna 207 aircraft with serial numbers between 2070374 and 2070563.\n\n**What you must do:** Follow the instructions in Cessna Service Information Letter No. SE 80-16. This must be done within 100 hours of flight time after 30 April 1980.\n\n**Why it matters:** Flight control turnbuckles are critical components that keep the pilot's controls connected to the aircraft's wings and tail. Cracks in these parts could cause a loss of control, so this directive mandates inspection and replacement of the faulty parts."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-207-22-flying-control-system-turnbuckles/documents"}}
