Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD mandates a physical modification to aileron and elevator control surfaces on Cessna 441 aircraft serials 441‑0001 through 441‑0090 to prevent water‑induced aileron vibration/flutter. Owners/operators must arrange and pay for the work, done per Cessna Customer Care Advisory PJ 79‑3A, within 100 flight hours after 30 June 1979. CASA enforces compliance; failure to act leaves operators exposed to the safety hazard and regulatory non‑compliance.
