Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: Requires owners of specific small aircraft to install a safety warning label near the fuel drain point.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of S.L. Industries Commander 100 Series and Volair 10 Series aeroplanes.

The requirement: Install a placard (warning sign) next to the fuel filter drain point displaying the exact text: "DRAIN AT LEAST ONE (1) PINT OF FUEL FROM EACH TANK". The letters must be at least 1/8 inch (about 3 millimetres) high.

Why it matters: Ensures pilots drain sufficient fuel to check for water or contamination before takeoff—a critical safety step to prevent engine failure due to contaminated fuel.

Timing: Immediate compliance required (the term "forthwith" means without delay).
