These service bulletins are technical repair manuals issued by the engine and aircraft manufacturers.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nFaulty magnetos (which generate the electrical spark for the engine) can cause engine failure or rough running. This directive ensures these specific defective components are removed from service to keep the aircraft safe to fly."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-38-9-slick-magneto-condenser-replacement/documents"}}
