Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Requires operators of specified Robin DR400 and R2160 aeroplanes (particular serial numbers fitted with Robin Service Letter 37 Rev 2 “Banjo” adapter) to inspect around the fuel‑pressure indicator adapter for any traces of fuel. If fuel is found, repair by an approved method before the next flight; if none is found, repeat the inspection every 50 ±5 flight hours. It affects owners/operators of the listed aircraft and matters because it mandates inspection and prompt repair to address a potential fuel‑leak hazard.
