Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A safety rule for owners and operators of Ayres Thrush (Snow) Commander aircraft—a type of agricultural aeroplane commonly used for crop dusting and spraying.

What you must do: Check that the turn and bank indicator (the cockpit instrument that tells the pilot if the plane is turning and how much it is tilting) is mounted at the exact angle specified by the instrument manufacturer. If it isn't, you need to adjust it.

Why this matters: An incorrectly tilted instrument can display false readings, potentially causing the pilot to lose control or become disoriented—particularly dangerous during the low-level flying typical of agricultural operations.

Who it affects: All models of Ayres Thrush (Snow) Commander Series aircraft registered in Australia.

Compliance deadline: This work had to be completed before 1 April 1968.
