Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety inspection order for aircraft owners and operators. It requires a specific check of the fuel pressure regulator fitting on certain Cessna 414 aeroplanes.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna Model 414 aircraft with serial numbers 414-0001 through 414-0265 (early production models).

What you must do: Inspect the fuel pressure regulator fitting according to the manufacturer's instructions (Cessna Service Letter ME72-6) within 10 hours of flight time after 2 June 1972.

Why it matters: The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel flow to the engine. A faulty or improperly fitted regulator can cause fuel leaks, engine failure, or fire. This directive ensures a specific safety defect identified by the manufacturer is detected and fixed before it causes an accident.
