Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates a one-time safety inspection to prevent brake failure on specific aircraft. Who is affected: Owners and operators of Airparts (NZ) Ltd. FU 24 Series aeroplanes that have been fitted with Air Parts Modification AP34 (a specific hardware upgrade). What must be done: Inspect the Cleveland Wheel and brake assemblies to confirm the torque plate (a metal plate that transfers braking force) sits on the outside face of the axle shoulder. It must not be trapped between the axle and the lower leg fitting, as this incorrect installation could cause the brake to fail or damage the landing gear. Deadline: Complete the inspection within 10 hours of flight time after 5 April 1971.
