Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD requires five safety modifications to be completed on every Cessna 340 before it can be certificated, including new cabin and oxygen-warning placards, a required seat-position warning, fuel static-bonding points, and a change to monitor power to the turn-and-bank indicator. It affects owners/operators and maintenance shops and aims to reduce fire/ignition risk, ensure seat security during critical flight phases, and provide immediate warning of loss of a key flight instrument.
