Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this requires: Owners and operators of specific Cessna 310 aircraft must replace the nose gear uplock torque tube (a component that helps lock the front landing gear in the "up" position during flight).

Who it affects: Anyone operating Cessna 310 series aeroplanes with serial numbers between 35000 and 310L0074.

What you must do: Replace the faulty torque tube within 500 hours of flight time after 14 February 1969, following the technical instructions in Cessna Service Letter 67-22 Supplement 1.

Why it matters: This prevents potential failure of the nose landing gear locking mechanism, which could cause the gear to collapse or fail to extend properly during landing.
