Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of Maule M‑5 aeroplanes with rudder bars not yet modified to inspect and, if needed, reinforce the rudder bar per Maule Aircraft Corporation Service Bulletin No. 2. Work must be done within 100 hours TIS after 31 October 1982, and the owner/operator bears cost and scheduling.

The reinforcement is intended to reduce rudder‑bar fatigue cracking and eliminate ongoing special inspections by replacing them with a one‑time modification.
