This directive requires owners and operators of specific Cessna 441 aircraft (those with serial numbers 441-0107, 441-0108, and 441-0110 through 441-0189) to carry out a one-time inspection of the elevator cable guard screws.

Prevents potential mechanical interference that could restrict elevator movement

Who it affects:

Operators and maintainers of the specified Cessna 441 aircraft

Compliance requirement:

The inspection must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 30 September 1981

Why it matters:

Ensures flight safety by identifying and correcting potential clearance issues in the elevator control system before they affect aircraft handling.
