This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Pacific Aerospace FU24 aircraft fitted with aileron push‑pull rods P/N 08‑24015‑1 (mod PAC/FU/034) to inspect the pushrod ends and replace rivets if there is detectable play or evidence of working rivets. It responds to reports of loosening rivets that secure threaded inserts.

Aircraft owners/operators must schedule the mandated inspections and repairs within the stated time limits; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (via its delegate) enforces compliance and may ground aircraft until defects are fixed.
