Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners of specific Cessna 182 aircraft (serial numbers 18261426 through 18262728, with some exceptions) to inspect or repair the fuel selector handle assembly—the cockpit control that switches between fuel tanks.

What needs to happen: Follow the instructions in Cessna Service Letter SE74-1.

Deadline: Complete the work within 100 hours of flight time after 29 March 1974.

Why this matters: Faulty fuel selector handles can cause fuel starvation or unexpected tank selection, potentially leading to engine failure.
