Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety order requiring owners of specific Cessna aircraft to replace a potentially dangerous fuel hose.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of 1979 Cessna Turbo Skylane 182RG aeroplanes with serial numbers between R18200584 and R18201051 (with some exceptions noted in the technical documents).

What must be done: The fuel hose connecting the electric fuel pump to the fuel strainer (a type of fuel filter) must be inspected and replaced if it is not fire-resistant. Owners must follow the technical instructions in Cessna Service Information Letter No. SE79-32. This work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 August 1979.

Why it matters: During manufacturing, some planes may have received fuel hoses that lack fire-resistant properties. If this hose fails during flight, it could leak fuel near ignition sources, creating a serious fire or explosion risk.
