Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive mandates a safety modification for specific aircraft radio equipment to prevent electrical hazards.

Who is affected: Aircraft owners and operators with Rexair VTR-5 series VHF transceivers (radio communication equipment) installed using wiring looms supplied by Rex Aviation.

What you must do: Modify the wiring system or equipment to install adequate circuit protection (such as a fuse) on all wiring running between the radio control unit and the transceiver unit.

Approved method: You can satisfy this requirement by implementing Rex Aviation Design Change No. 7, which adds a 5 amp fuse to the control unit.

Why it matters: This modification protects against electrical faults that could damage your aircraft's communication system or create fire hazards. It ensures the wiring between your radio components has proper overcurrent protection (a safety device that cuts power if too much electricity flows through), keeping your aircraft's electrical system safe and airworthy.
