Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety instruction (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for owners and operators of CAC CA-28 Ceres aircraft — a type of agricultural aeroplane.

What you must do: Immediately modify the fuel tank vent system on your aircraft according to the manufacturer's instructions in "Ceres Service Bulletin No. 37."

The good news: If you already performed this modification under an earlier safety order (AD/CA-28/3), you don't need to do it again — you're already compliant.

Why this matters: This updates a long-standing safety requirement dating back to 1963. Fuel tank vent modifications prevent dangerous pressure imbalances or fuel leaks that could cause engine failure or fire.
