Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) under the Civil Aviation Regulations.

What it requires Owners of specific Cessna 310 aircraft must install a protective shield around the voltage regulator.

Who it affects

Owners and operators of Cessna 310 model aircraft with serial numbers before 35397 (older models only).

What you must do

Install the voltage regulator shield immediately (the legal term used is "forthwith," meaning without delay).
Follow the technical instructions in Cessna Service Letter No. 310-8 to complete the work.

Why it matters Airworthiness Directives are legally binding safety commands. You cannot legally fly the aircraft until this modification is completed. While the directive doesn't specify the exact danger, voltage regulators can overheat or produce electrical sparks; the shield likely prevents fire risks or electrical system failures.
