The replacement must be done according to the manufacturer's Service Bulletin No. 30B.\n\n**Who is affected?**\nThis applies to Partenavia P68 and P68B model aeroplanes with **serial numbers 101 and below**, **except** for aircraft with serial numbers 19, 82, 87, and 100.\n\n**Deadline**\nThe work must be completed within **100 hours of flight time** after 28 February 1978.\n\n**Why this matters**\nFuel filter bowls on these aircraft can develop defects that may cause engine failure. This directive mandates replacement of potentially faulty parts before they create an in-flight safety hazard."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement","history":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-p68-8-fuel-filter-bowl-replacement/documents"}}
