Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this directive does: This safety order requires owners and operators of Cessna 188 agricultural aircraft (known as Agwagons) to inspect and replace the engine mixture control cable assembly on specific models.

Who it affects: Anyone operating a Cessna 188 series aircraft that does not already have mixture control cable assembly part number S1220-13 installed.

What must be done: Operators must follow the repair instructions in Cessna Service Letter SE 69-1 (a technical bulletin from the manufacturer). This involves replacing the existing mixture control cable with an improved design to prevent mechanical failure.

When it must be done: Within the next 100 flight hours after 12 May 1969.

Why it matters: The mixture control regulates the fuel-to-air ratio in the engine. A faulty cable assembly could cause engine power loss or failure during critical low-altitude agricultural operations, posing significant safety risks to the pilot and people on the ground.
