It applies to **all rescue hoists made by Breeze-Eastern**.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Requires aircraft operators to follow a specific manufacturer bulletin (CAB-100-30) that mandates extra inspections of the hoist's load cable.\n- The manufacturer discovered that damage in a particular spot on the cable could be missed during normal checks, creating a serious safety risk.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nRescue hoists are used to lift people in emergencies — often in dangerous conditions where equipment failure could be fatal. This directive closes a safety gap by forcing more thorough inspections to catch hidden cable damage before it causes a catastrophic failure.\n\n**Who must comply:**\nAnyone operating aircraft with Breeze-Eastern rescue hoists must follow the inspection requirements in the referenced manufacturer bulletin."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument does not broaden the class of affected equipment; it applies to all Breeze‑Eastern rescue hoists already in use (Applicability).
