Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This is a mandatory safety notice (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority for certain Partenavia P68 aircraft.

What it requires: Owners and operators of affected planes must follow the manufacturer's Service Bulletin No. 67 to inspect and fix cracked and disconnected leading edge ribs on the wings.

Who it affects: All models of Partenavia P68, P68B, P68C and P68C-TC with specific serial numbers listed in the technical documentation.

When to comply:

Within 25 flight hours after 25 July 1985
Then again at every scheduled inspection when renewing the aircraft's Maintenance Release (a certificate proving the plane is safe to fly)

Why it matters: The leading edge of the wing is critical for aerodynamics and structural integrity. Cracked ribs could compromise flight safety.
