Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of specified Cessna 310-series aeroplanes (serials 35000–39299 and 310‑0001–310‑0156) to install, forthwith, two cockpit placards with prescribed wording and minimum letter size near the fuel and manifold pressure instruments. Operators are responsible for producing, installing and certifying the placards (self-certification permitted). The measure directly alters pilot-facing information on fuel limits and descent power settings and places compliance cost and certification obligation on operators.
