If these cables malfunction, pilots could lose control of engine power settings, creating a serious flight safety risk.\n\n**What operators must do:**\n* **Part 1 (One-time action):** Within 100 hours of flying time after 30 June 1986, inspect and remedy the cables according to Schweizer Service Information No. N196. Any spare cables must be checked before installation.\n* **Part 2 (Recurring action):** After the initial inspection, repeat the check every 100 hours of flying time.\n\n**Why this matters:**\nThis prevents potential engine control failures that could cause power loss or uncommanded power changes during flight, reducing the risk of accidents."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies","history":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-hu-269-80-throttle-and-governor-control-cable-assemblies/documents"}}
