Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Meta Sokol L.40 series aircraft to replace six specified flexible engine-compartment hoses with fire‑resistant assemblies. It affects anyone operating or maintaining these Czechoslovakian light aircraft.

The upgrade reduces the risk that cracked or burst rubber hoses will spray fuel or oil onto hot surfaces and ignite, improving chances to detect problems and land safely. Compliance was required before 1 September 1971.
