Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This directive orders owners/operators of specified Beechcraft 19/23/24 aeroplanes (by serial number) to remove existing spin/acrobatic placards and fit a single instrument‑panel placard that prohibits intentional spins and most acrobatic manoeuvres, except a short list. It must be done within 25 hours time in service. The rule changes what pilots may lawfully perform in the affected aircraft and requires owners to alter cockpit markings; approved spin‑improvement kits can restore previous acrobatic approval.
