Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD mandates a recurring visual inspection of the engine‑mount structure on all Cessna 188 series aeroplanes at each new Maintenance Release, expanded to include firewall attachment fittings after a recent fatigue failure.

Owners/operators (or their maintenance providers) bear inspection and repair costs; the AD requires the checks but does not specify pass/fail criteria or mandatory non‑visual tests, leaving remedial decisions to maintenance organisations under usual regulatory approvals.
