Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This CASA Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of specified Cessna 210 serial numbers to ensure at least 6.5 mm clearance between the fuel line and electrical wiring in the nose‑gear tunnel, using Cessna Service Information Letter SE82‑32 if not already done.

Work must be completed within the stated short compliance window; costs for inspection and corrective work fall to the aircraft owners/operators to reduce chafing and the risk of in‑flight fire.
