This AD requires every owner/operator of CASA Model C‑212 aeroplanes to apply an interim limitation on rudder pedal adjustment before each flight and to complete a mandated modification (per CASA Service Bulletin) by 31 May 1994. It’s intended to ensure rudder deflection meets handling requirements. Costs and recurring pre‑flight work fall to aircraft owners/operators, who must follow the referenced CASA communication and service bulletin exactly.
