Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Cessna T210L, T210M, T210N and P210N aircraft fitted with Slick 6220 or 6224 pressurized magnetos to install a visible placard reminding pilots to perform magneto checks before each flight and to perform a 100‑hour inspection (and repeat every 100 hours) or whenever the AFM magneto check fails. It responds to reported moisture contamination that could cause engine stoppage and changes pilot and maintenance routines accordingly.
