Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This directive requires owners/operators of certain Piper PA‑18/PA‑19 aircraft certificated for Agricultural or Normal/Agricultural use to fit two specific placards: one relabelling Left as “Main Tank” and Right as “Auxiliary Tank” by the fuel selector, and one on the panel reading “FOR ALL AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS USE THE MAIN FUEL TANK ONLY.” It’s a low‑cost, one‑off compliance obligation under the civil aviation framework that changes in‑flight fuel‑selection behaviour and must be completed within the stated timeframe.
