Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (AD) — essentially a mandatory safety order from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) requiring aircraft owners to make a specific modification.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Maule M-4-210 aeroplanes with serial numbers 1001 through 1050 only.

What you must do: Modify the elevator trim control (the device that adjusts the plane's pitch to maintain level flight without constant pilot pressure). The technical instructions are contained in Maule Service Letter No. 9.

When: Forthwith — meaning immediately or as soon as reasonably practicable. No grace period.

Why it matters: Elevator trim control is critical for safe aircraft handling. This directive ensures these specific aircraft models meet safety standards for this component.
