What this is: A mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for specific agricultural aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Piper PA-36-285 (Pawnee Brave) aeroplanes with serial numbers between 36-7360001 to 36-7460026 and 36-7460034.

What it requires: You must modify the aircraft's flap control system (the mechanism that controls the flaps on the wings) following the instructions in Piper Service Bulletin No. 439.

When: This modification must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 January 1975.

Why it matters: Airworthiness Directives are legally binding safety requirements. If you don't comply, the aircraft is not considered airworthy and cannot legally fly. This specific directive addresses a safety issue with the flap controls on these particular aircraft models.
