Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD mandates owners/operators of all American Champion (Aeronca, Bellanca) series aeroplanes fit an "approved" fuel drain cock at the lowest point of the fuel plumbing by 29 October 1971. It creates a one‑off retrofit and procurement cost for operators and a fixed compliance deadline; the AD requires approval of the part but does not define who grants it.
