Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety notice (called an Airworthiness Directive) for owners of specific agricultural aircraft.

What it requires: If you own a model FU24-954 aeroplane that has been modified in a specific way (modification AI/FU/0078), you must check the left-hand rudder pedal for bending or distortion every day or after every overnight stop.

Why it matters: The rudder pedal can bend or distort during normal use, which could affect pilot control of the aircraft.

How to fix it: You must keep doing these daily checks until you replace the pedal with a strengthened version (part number 08-45633-2). Once the new part is installed, the daily checks are no longer required.

Who is affected: Operators of Airparts (NZ) Ltd. FU 24 Series aeroplanes with the specific modification mentioned above.
