Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of Pitts S‑1 and S‑2 aeroplanes with original Pitts rudder cables to either inspect NICROPRESS sleeves at cable terminations per FAA guidance or replace the cables with locally manufactured ones before the next flight after 11 June 1976. It matters because improperly pressed sleeves can impair rudder control; owners pay for inspection or replacement and must engage qualified maintenance to comply.
