Requirement: 1. Check the pneumatic stall warning system for correct operation by applying a slight suction with the mouth at the stall warning opening in the left wing. A properly functioning horn will provide a sound that is clearly audible. It may be advisable to first cover the opening with a clean piece of cloth.

Replace the stall warning reed assembly P/N0413028-1 with reed assembly P/N 0413483-2, P/N 0713348-1 or subsequent and install an 18 x 14 or 18 x 16 mesh screen over the exposed horn bell inside the cabin and over the left wing opening. Flight test the aircraft to assure the stall warning horn sounds at 5 to 10 knots above the stalling speed.

Compliance: For para 1. - Before each flight

For para 2. - Within 25 hours time in service after 3 September 1968.

Background: This amendment reflects latest Cessna Part Number change.
