Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is a safety order for owners of specific Cessna 320 aeroplanes. What it requires: You must replace the nose gear uplock torque tube—a metal part that helps lock the front landing gear in the "up" position during flight—on affected aircraft. Who it affects: All Cessna 320 models with serial numbers between 320-0001 and 320E0087. When: The work must be done within 500 hours of flying time after 14 February 1969, following the technical steps in Cessna Service Letter 67-2 Supplement 1. Why it matters: Faulty torque tubes can cause the nose gear to collapse or fail to lock properly, creating serious risks during takeoff or landing.
