Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires operators of Shorts SD3-30 aircraft serials SH3002–SH3063 to inspect and, if needed, modify the flexible brake hoses and main landing‑gear beam per Shorts Service Bulletin SD3‑32‑92 Rev 1, to be completed within 300 flying hours after 30 June 1982 (unless already done).

It responds to reported hose rubbing/wear, shifting inspection and repair costs and downtime onto the listed aircraft operators and creating near‑term demand for maintenance work.
