Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires operators of specified Cessna 182 and Wren 460 serial numbers (18253599–18261528) to carry out the aft tailcone work in accordance with Cessna Service Letter SE72-29; it allows a CASA‑approved repair of the forward tailcone bulkhead instead of replacement and accepts FAA‑approved repair of attachment boltholes (Requirement). Owners/operators pay for inspections and repairs, must follow the Requirement document for compliance, and may rely on prior inspections meeting SE72-3; the change is issued because the spare bulkhead is no longer available (Background).
