Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this means: If you own or operate an Ayres Thrush (also known as Snow Commander) model S-2D agricultural aircraft, you must immediately install a safety harness for the pilot.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Ayres Thrush/Snow Commander S-2D aeroplanes—typically used for crop-dusting and agricultural spraying.

What you must do: Fit a pilot's safety harness that meets the technical standards in Airworthiness Notice (ANO) Section 100.20. This ensures the restraint system can withstand the forces of agricultural flying operations.

When: Immediately. The term 'forthwith' means there is no grace period—you must comply right away.

Why it matters: This is a critical safety measure to protect pilots during high-risk low-level agricultural operations by ensuring they remain securely seated in the cockpit.
