This was a known safety issue addressed by Cessna Service Letter 65-39.\n\n**Who must comply:** Anyone operating these specific Cessna 210 models with serial numbers: 616, 618, 57001–57575, and 21057576–21057840.\n\n**Deadline:** The work had to be completed before 1 September 1971.\n\n**Key point:** This is a historical directive from 1967 (the \"11/67\" indicates November 1967). While long past its compliance date, it remains part of the aircraft's permanent maintenance record. If you own one of these planes today, you should verify this placard is still present and legible."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation","history":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-cessna-210-8-fuel-system-placard-installation/documents"}}
