Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a mandatory safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority that aircraft owners must legally follow.

What it does: It requires owners of specific Cessna 207 aircraft (serial numbers 2070026 to 20700293) to take corrective action regarding the rudder trim chain — a mechanical component that helps control the aircraft's steering. The exact technical procedure is contained in Cessna Service Letter SE76-3.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 207 aeroplanes within the specified serial number range.

Why it matters: The directive addresses a potential safety defect that could cause the rudder trim chain to fail, potentially compromising the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's direction.

Compliance requirement: The maintenance must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 May 1976.
