Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of Cessna 210 aeroplanes with plastic control wheels to inspect those wheels following Cessna Service Letter No. 64‑8, at intervals not exceeding 500 hours time‑in‑service. It takes effect 30 July 2009 and removes an older inspection document (SL 62‑44).

The stated purpose is to address reports of cracking and failures. The inspection labour and any repairs are carried out and paid for by aircraft owners/operators; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority enforces the AD and relies on the referenced service letter to set the technical steps.
