Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory safety order requires owners/operators of Ayres Thrush (Snow Commander) S-2C and S-2D aircraft with the 100‑inch wheel tread to immediately inspect and, if needed, modify the main landing gear axle per Aero Commander Service Letter No. 42.

It matters because axle cracking or failure can cause wheel collapse during takeoff, landing, or taxiing, creating a high risk of serious accident for affected aircraft.
