Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive — a mandatory safety order requiring owners of specific aircraft to perform critical maintenance.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Pilatus Britten-Norman BN-2A Islander aircraft with serial numbers 1 through 15.

What must be done: Replace the vacuum hose following the manufacturer's instructions in Britten-Norman Modification Leaflet BN-2/NB/M/165, Parts 1 and 2.

Deadline: The replacement must be completed within 100 hours of flight time (measured from when the aircraft is airborne) after 13 June 1968.

Why it matters: Vacuum systems power essential flight instruments (like attitude indicators and directional gyros). A failed hose could cause these instruments to fail mid-flight, creating serious safety hazards.
