Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to all Short SD3-60 aeroplanes and requires operators to inspect elevator trim control cables per Shorts Service Bulletin SD360 27‑27 Revision 2 before 25 March 2000 and to replace 7x7 type cables with 7x19 type after 10,000 flights. CASA issued the directive after reports of in‑service cable failures. Operators must carry out inspections and replacements and therefore bear the direct compliance costs and operational tracking burden.
