Plain English Summary

Owners/operators of Schweizer (Grumman) G‑164 (Ag‑Cat) aeroplanes whose main landing‑gear spring legs have exceeded 5,000 landings must carry out magnetic‑particle inspections for transverse cracking near the outboard clamp (upper and lower surfaces), remove and replace any cracked legs before further flight, and repeat inspections at intervals not exceeding 3,000 landings. Issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, the directive targets safety of the main undercarriage and imposes inspection, replacement, recordkeeping, cost and downtime burdens on operators.
