Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) that applies to all models of the DHC-2 Beaver aircraft—a type of small bush plane commonly used in Australia.

What it requires: Owners and operators must immediately modify the main undercarriage (the main landing gear) at its lower forward attachment point (where the wheel strut connects to the airframe). The specific technical instructions for how to do this are contained in a separate document: Hawker De Havilland TNS DHC-2 Aust. No. 5.

When: Forthwith means immediately—before the aircraft flies again.

Why it matters: This prevents the landing gear from failing or detaching during takeoff or landing, which could cause a crash.
