Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The bottom line: If you operate a Cessna 188 agricultural aircraft (the "Agwagon") in Australia, you must check the wing steering cables for wear every 100 hours of flying time.

What it does: This Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) requires inspection of the aileron control system—specifically the cables and pulleys that move the ailerons (the hinged flaps on the wings that make the plane bank left or right). Worn cables can snap or jam, causing loss of control.

Who is affected: Owners and operators of all models of the Cessna 188 series.

When you must comply: At intervals not exceeding 100 hours time in service—that is, every 100 hours the aircraft is actually flying (not sitting on the ground).
