Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of Cessna 500 and 501 Citation jets (serials -0001 through -0689) fitted with BF Goodrich brakes/wheels as modified by Service Bulletin 32‑38 to inspect and ultimately replace brake shuttle valves.

Inspections must be repeated until the permanent valve replacement is installed to prevent seal lubricant degradation of O‑rings, which can cause brake leaks and risk brake failure during taxi or landing.
