Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) — a legally binding safety order issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) that requires aircraft owners to fix a specific safety issue.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of specific Cessna 401 and 402 model aeroplanes with serial numbers between 401/402-0001 and 401/402-0279.

What you must do: Relocate the fuel pressure switch on these aircraft. The actual instructions for how to do this are contained in a separate Cessna Service Letter (SL ME68-18) referenced in the document.

When you must comply: Within 100 hours of "time in service" (meaning actual flight time, not just calendar time) after 28 November 1968.

Why it matters: This directive addresses a specific technical defect or safety concern with the original placement of the fuel pressure switch. Non-compliance means the aircraft is not legally airworthy and cannot be flown.
