Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a mandatory safety order requiring a specific repair or modification to certain aircraft navigation instruments.

Who it affects: Owners or operators of aircraft fitted with a King KG 102 Directional Gyro (a cockpit instrument showing the aircraft's heading/compass direction) — specifically those with serial numbers from P1 to P1999.

What must be done: Before 30 September 1975, the owner had to carry out a modification to the instrument exactly as described in the manufacturer's document "King Service Bulletin KG 102-6" (a technical maintenance notice).

Why it matters: This is an Airworthiness Directive — a legally binding instruction. An aircraft cannot fly legally unless it complies with all applicable ADs. This ensures potentially faulty instruments were fixed before they could cause navigation errors.
