Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of specified Cessna 170, 172, F172, FP172, FR172, P172, R172 and 175-series aeroplanes fitted with particular fuel selector valve parts or a cam (parts shipped 6 Dec 1998–10 May 1999) to take corrective action to address an identified unsafe condition in the fuel selector valve. It matters because it forces inspections, repairs or replacements at prescribed times, creating direct costs, record‑checking and parts‑sourcing burdens for operators while the regulator enforces compliance under CAR 1998 subreg 39.1(1).
