Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for owners and operators of Lake LA-4 series aircraft.

What you must do: Replace two specific fuel lines (part numbers 2-6700-105 and 2-6700-109) that connect the engine fuel pump to the carburettor. You must install approved fire-resistant fuel lines instead of the original equipment.

Why this matters: Standard fuel lines can melt or rupture in an engine fire, feeding the flames with aviation fuel. Fire-resistant lines are designed to withstand heat, providing critical protection in the engine compartment and preventing catastrophic fires.

Compliance: The directive required this replacement to be completed before 16 February 1966. After that date, affected aircraft could not legally fly until the modification was made.
