Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Requires inspection of the control‑wheel gimbal support / tie‑rod attachment plates on all GAF N22 and N24 aeroplanes to check for insufficient clearance between the control‑wheel retaining bolt and the gimbal bearings support brace.

Operators and maintenance personnel must complete the inspection before further flight; a pilot‑in‑command or a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer may perform and certify the check and it must be recorded on the maintenance release. If any control obstruction is found, corrective modification is required before further flight, otherwise action must occur within 100 hours (after 4 December 1979).
