Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires owners/operators of Piper PA‑18 and PA‑19 (Super Cub) aeroplanes to fit a physical guard on the cockpit fuel selector to prevent inadvertent lever movement. Compliance is immediate; the AD suggests a simple wooden block (≥1 inch) attached to the existing indicator plate as an example but allows other suitable guards. Costs and installation responsibility fall to the owners/operators.
