Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a safety order for owners of vintage Auster/Beagle A.61 aircraft built before August 1947.

What it does: It requires immediate inspection and/or replacement of the bolts that attach the tail section to the main body of the aircraft. Operators must follow the instructions in the manufacturer's Service Bulletin Issue 7 (a technical repair notice) immediately.

Who it affects: Anyone who owns or operates an Auster/Beagle A.61 series aeroplane manufactured before August 1947.

Why it matters: Faulty tail attachment bolts could cause the tail to separate from the aircraft during flight, leading to a crash. This directive ensures these critical bolts are checked and fixed before the aircraft flies again.

Key terms:

Service Bulletin (SB): A technical notice issued by the aircraft manufacturer telling owners how to fix a specific problem.
Forthwith: Immediately; without delay.
