Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety notice for owners of specific agricultural aircraft. Who it affects: Owners and operators of Grumman G-164 "Ag-Cat" aeroplanes with serial numbers 1 through 400 that have not been modified according to Grumman Service Bulletin No. 41.

What it requires: You must inspect the elevator pushrod assembly (the mechanical linkage that controls the up-and-down movement of the aircraft's tail) at intervals no greater than every 100 hours of flight time.

Why it matters: This prevents catastrophic failure of the elevator control system during flight. The pushrod is a critical component that connects the pilot's control inputs to the tail surfaces; if it breaks, the pilot cannot control the aircraft's pitch, potentially causing a crash.
