Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a safety rule for owners of Auster or Beagle A.61 series aircraft (light, single-engine planes). If your plane has metal wing root fairing bands (the metal strips covering where the wing joins the fuselage), you must inspect them every 100 hours of flight time.

Specifically, you need to check:

The bands are securely attached
They aren't rubbing or wearing against other parts (chafing)
They have no cracks

Pay extra attention to the area around the screwdriver access hole at the back edge of the wing. This prevents structural damage that could affect flight safety.
