Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). ADs are legally binding instructions that require aircraft owners to fix specific unsafe conditions.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 150, F150, 152, and F152 aircraft with serial numbers between 17001–17719 or 59001–59067.

What you must do: Immediately inspect or repair the vertical fin (the upright tail section of the aircraft) following the exact instructions in two manufacturer documents: Cessna Service Letter No. 150-21 and Cessna Service Kit 150-3.

When: Forthwith — meaning immediately, without delay. As soon as you become aware of this directive, you must ground the aircraft until the work is done.

Why it matters: This addresses a specific safety defect in the tail section of these particular aircraft. Operating the aircraft without completing this action violates civil aviation law and poses a safety risk.
