Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of aircraft using Bendix type 756 starters that are needed to unfeather propellers to replace planetary pinions (PN 46916 → PN 644718) and mark the starter with a red "P". The action had to be completed by 31 March 1965. It matters because worn or defective starter pinions could prevent in‑flight restart of a failed engine, creating a critical safety risk.
