Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This mandatory safety order requires operators of Air Equipment Hoists (P/N 76375, 76375-02, 76375-100 with specified serial numbers) to apply painted limit marks on the hoist cable per Aerospatiale Telex 807/848 before further use.

A manufacturing dimensional error in the travel limit control screw can allow over-travel and uncontrolled hoist movement; the painted marks provide a visual warning. Act immediately to mark the cable and update your Flight Manual via your Airworthiness Office.
