Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: This is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) under the Civil Aviation Regulations. ADs are legally binding instructions that aircraft owners and operators must follow to keep their aircraft safe and airworthy.

What it requires: If you operate an aircraft with an Artouste 111B turbine engine (made by Turbomeca), you must immediately modify the micropump valve rod.

How to comply: You must carry out the modification described in either:

Turbomeca technical document 'Mod. No. M35', or
Alternative directive 'AD/TURB-T/2'

When: Immediately ('forthwith'). This means before the next flight or without delay.

Why it matters: This fixes a specific safety defect in the engine's micropump valve rod. Operating without this modification could create an unsafe condition.
