Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of turbocharged Cessna 320 aeroplanes to carry out periodic inspections of the engine exhaust system and to replace specified multi‑segment ‘V’ band exhaust clamps, using procedures in Cessna Service Information Letters and the referenced FAA AD. Inspections and replacements must be done at the published flight‑hour intervals.

Owners/operators pay for inspections, parts and aircraft downtime; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requires and enforces compliance. The amendment updates the FAA AD reference.
