Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive orders operators of aircraft fitted with a Garrett Rescue 88A crash locator beacon with the optional remote switch to disable that remote function: disconnect the remote plug, insulate and stow the wires, and fit a protective cap over the beacon socket. It affects anyone using that beacon with the remote option because the remote was deemed unreliable or unsafe; work was required within 10 flight hours after mid‑January 1976.
