What this requires

This directive orders owners and operators of specific Pitts S-2A aeroplanes to modify the attachment points for the horizontal stabiliser bracing (the structural supports for the tailplane).

Who it affects

Only applies to:

Model: Pitts S-2A
Serial numbers: 2001 through 2022

What you must do

Carry out the modification exactly as described in Pitts Service Bulletin No. 4. The work must be completed within 100 hours of flight time (time in service) after 31 August 1973.

Why it matters

This addresses a safety-critical structural issue. The modification prevents potential failure of the tailplane bracing attachments, which could lead to loss of aircraft control.
