Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Cessna 337s fitted with the brittle bakelite aerial standoff mast (Cessna P/N 0411217) to fix a hazard where sideways loading can snap the mast and detach the aerial in flight. You must either re‑rig the aerial so loads pull straight up or replace the mast (e.g., Rex Aviation rod RA483 with bracket RA482‑A/B). Compliance is due within 300 flight hours after 15 August 1966.
