Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Applies to Cessna 320 and 320-1 aircraft S/N 320-0001–320-0110 and requires two cockpit placards: one prohibiting operation with less than five gallons in each main tank and stating usable fuel per tank, and one directing pilots to “Maintain Power Within Green Arcs During Descent.” Operators may fabricate and certify the placards (letters ≥1/8″); Cessna SL ME69-19 is an alternative compliance path. Compliance is required before 1 September 1971 and costs fall to the operator.
