Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document mandates recurring safety inspections for a specific aircraft part (the elevator hinge bracket) on specific vintage aircraft models (Dornier DO-27 series, models Q1, Q3, and Q4 with serial numbers 2001–2037, 2041–2055, and 2062).

Who it affects: Owners and operators of these specific German-made Dornier DO-27 aircraft registered in Australia.

What must be done: The elevator hinge bracket must be inspected at intervals not exceeding every 100 hours of flight time (called "time in service"), with compliance required after 1 September 1971. The inspection procedures are detailed in the manufacturer's document, Dornier Technical Bulletin No. 27/1.

Why it matters: This prevents potential structural failures in the aircraft's elevator control system—the part that controls the up-and-down movement of the plane—which could cause loss of control during flight.
