Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a bare-bones safety check for Cessna 207 aircraft owners (excluding turbocharged models). You must verify that the alternator earth lead — that's the electrical ground wire connecting your alternator to the airframe — is actually there, isn't frayed or damaged, and is bolted down tight.

Who it affects: Anyone flying a Cessna 207 without a turbocharger.

The job: A quick visual and physical inspection of one specific wire.

When: Back in 1972 (specifically within 100 flying hours after 29 February 1972), which tells you this is an old maintenance directive that established a baseline safety requirement.
