What this law does: This Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety order) requires owners and operators of De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter aircraft to inspect or repair the front fuselage windshield post (the structural frame supporting the cockpit windows).

Who it affects: Anyone who owns or operates any model of DHC-3 (Otter) series aeroplanes registered in Australia.

What you must do: Carry out the specific inspections or repairs detailed in the manufacturer's technical document — De Havilland Canada Service Bulletin No 3/29.

When you must do it: Within 100 hours of flight time after 30 June 1977.

Why it matters: This prevents potential structural failure of the windshield support frame, which could compromise cockpit integrity and flight safety.
