Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive mandates a one‑time dye‑penetrant inspection of the nose landing gear yoke pivot assembly on Aerospatiale/Morane Saulnier Rallye aeroplanes (all models except Rallye 235F), to be done per Socata Service Bulletin 151 within 50 hours TIS from 27 April 1995. Owners/operators must arrange and fund the inspection. It responds to reported manufacturing‑related fatigue cracks and imposes a short, one‑off compliance cost and downtime risk.
