Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates safety action for specific aircraft ignition switches. It applies to all Briggs and Stratton AAF Type B5 ignition switches installed in aircraft.

What you must do: Aircraft owners and operators must either:

Remove the master ignition switch from the aircraft; or
Comply with alternative directive AD/GENERAL/11 (which provides an alternative method of compliance).

Why this matters: This directive addresses potential safety defects—likely electrical failures or fire hazards—in these specific switches. Compliance is legally mandatory under the Civil Aviation Regulations to ensure aircraft safety.
