Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Cessna 206s converted to turbine power under STC SA2353NM to inspect the battery ventilation for kinks or blockages and clear any obstructions within 5 flight hours of 21 Jan 1986, and to modify the vent system per Soloy Conversions Service Bulletin 06-763 within 25 flight hours. The pilot-in-command may perform and log the initial inspection; the vent modification follows the SB and will typically require licensed maintenance. It prevents hydrogen buildup and the risk of battery explosion.
