Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This directive requires replacement of the fuel flow transmitter on Cessna 550/551 aircraft S/No. 0002–0207 and 0209, to be carried out in accordance with Cessna Service Bulletin 550‑73‑1 Rev.1 (or a later approved revision) within 100 hours time‑in‑service. The change responds to a risk that a two‑piece electrical connector can separate and cause a fuel leak.

Aircraft owners/operators must arrange and pay for the replacement; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority issued the mandatory compliance requirement.
