Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

Owners/operators of Schweizer (Grumman) G‑164B/C/D aeroplanes must inspect aileron bellcrank assemblies for cable‑attachment elongation (initial within 100 hours after 31 Aug 1982, then every 300 hours until modified) and modify or replace any bellcrank showing “excessive elongation” before further flight. Costs fall to the aircraft owner; licensed maintenance personnel judge elongation. The directive enforces recurring checks and repairs to reduce in‑flight cable‑attachment failure risk.
