Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety instruction (called an Airworthiness Directive) requiring specific maintenance on the carburettor air box shaft (part of the engine's air intake system) for certain Cessna agricultural aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 188 series aeroplanes (also known as "Agwagons") with serial numbers starting at 188-0001 and onwards, specifically those fitted with a Continental IO-520-D 300 horsepower engine.

What must be done: Aircraft owners must complete specific maintenance work exactly as instructed in Cessna Service Letter No. SE 68-28 (a technical bulletin from the manufacturer). This work must be finished within 100 hours of flying time after 17 March 1969.

Why it matters: This directive fixes a known safety defect that could affect engine performance or cause failure. These instructions are legally binding—aircraft cannot fly legally unless they comply.
