Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Gippsland Aeronautics GA8 aeroplanes (serial numbers up to GA8-05-088) to modify the seat track stops by following Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2005-29 Issue 2 (or a later approved revision).

Mechanically, the change relocates the pilot and front‑seat stops so the seat cannot restrict aft movement of the control column. Compliance is due at the next periodic inspection after 30 April 2006; the owner/operator must arrange and pay for the work.
