The six screws must also be locked in place using a method approved by the Secretary (the responsible government official).\n\n**Who it affects:**\nOwners and operators of **Fuji FA-200-160 and FA-200-180** aeroplanes that do not already have the specified steel plates and locked screws installed.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThe original light alloy stop plates were prone to failure, which could cause the nose landing gear to collapse during landing or taxiing. This directive prevents accidents by ensuring the component is made of stronger material.\n\n**When it had to be done:**\nWithin 100 flight hours after 12 May 1969."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification","history":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-fa-200-2-nose-landing-gear-piston-stop-plate-and-screws-modification/documents"}}
