Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive mandates owners/operators of Aerospatiale Rallye series aeroplanes to perform recurring hands‑on visual inspections of the rear fuselage for corrosion: remove the tail‑cone and dorsal fairing to inspect stringers, and if corrosion is found remove empennage components for a detailed inspection. Inspections were first due by 15 July 1976 and recur at most every three years. The rule shifts recurring labour, downtime and repair costs onto operators and creates steady demand for maintenance providers.
