What this does

This is a mandatory safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) that requires owners and operators of specific aircraft to inspect and fix a mechanical part on the main landing gear.

Who it affects

Owners and operators of Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 series aeroplanes with serial numbers T201 through T220.

What must be done

You must inspect and modify the main landing gear uplock roller (a component that helps lock the landing gear in the up position during flight) within 100 hours of flight time after 28 February 1973. The work must follow the manufacturer's instructions in Service Bulletin 30-10-3028 (a technical instruction manual from the plane's maker).

Why it matters

This prevents potential failures in the landing gear retraction system, ensuring the aircraft can safely raise and secure its wheels after takeoff.
