This rule catches potential failures before they happen in flight, based on manufacturer service bulletin No. 510.\n\n**In simple terms:** If your plane has this specific magneto model, you must check its internal gear every 100 flying hours until you upgrade to the safer part."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection","history":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-elect-16-magneto-bendix-scintilla-distributor-gear-inspection/documents"}}
