Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: A mandatory safety order requiring a specific repair to the fuel system of certain Cessna aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 401 and 402 series aeroplanes.

What you must do: Modify the aircraft's fuel crossover line (a pipe or hose that allows fuel to flow between tanks) according to the technical instructions in Rex Aviation Technical Memo TM-26, dated 1969.

When you must do it: Within 100 hours of flight time after 12 May 1969. "Time in service" means actual flying hours, not just calendar time.

Why it matters: This is a legally binding Airworthiness Directive. The modification fixes a safety defect in the fuel system that could potentially cause fuel leaks, engine failure, or fire if left unaddressed.
