Plain English Summary

4/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of Partenavia P68 series aeroplanes to inspect the control wheel shaft universal joint following Partenavia Service Bulletin No. 48 (Revision 1 or later). Inspection intervals vary by aircraft serial number and whether Kit 68-016 (universal joint P/No. NOR 7.315-04) is fitted.

Costs and compliance actions fall to the aircraft owner/operator; the regulator prescribes inspection timing by hours-in-service or elapsed calendar time and accepts earlier compliance. Amendment 3 adds calendar-time limits and clarifies serial-number coverage.
