Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety notice (legally called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for specific light aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Beechcraft Model 77 "Skipper" aeroplanes with serial numbers WA-1 through WA-312.

What you must do: Install safety washers on the engine control rod ends by following the manufacturer's Service Instruction No. 1243. Think of this like a mandatory car recall—it's a fix to prevent mechanical failure.

Deadline: Complete the work within 100 hours of flying time after 30 September 1983.

Why it matters: Without these safety washers, the engine control rods could fail, potentially causing loss of engine power or control during flight. This directive prevents that mechanical risk.
