Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a safety directive for aircraft owners and operators of Pilatus Britten-Norman BN-2A model aeroplanes (commonly known as Islander or Trislander aircraft). It mandates an inspection of the wing rear spar — a critical structural component that helps hold the wings to the fuselage.

What you must do:

Follow the inspection procedures detailed in Britten Norman Service Bulletin No. BN-2/SB.60
This ensures the wing structure is safe and free from cracks or damage that could lead to wing failure

Who it affects:

All BN-2A model aircraft operators
Maintenance engineers responsible for these aircraft

The directive works by legally requiring compliance with the manufacturer's technical service bulletin, turning a manufacturer recommendation into a legal obligation under Australian aviation safety law.
