Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates an immediate safety fix for specific crop-dusting aircraft.

What it does: Owners of Ayres Thrush (Snow) Commander S-2C and S-2D aircraft (serial numbers 1254–1349) must modify the support structure for their agricultural spray booms. The boom is the long horizontal arm that extends from the plane to spray crops over fields.

Who is affected: Operators of these specific agricultural aircraft within the defined serial number range.

What must happen: The modification must be carried out immediately ("forthwith") using the technical instructions in Aero Commander Service Letter No. 41.

Why it matters: The directive addresses potential structural weakness in the boom support that could cause equipment failure or affect flight safety during low-level agricultural operations.
