Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Owners/operators of Victa and A.E.S.L. Airtourer 100, 115 and 150 aeroplanes must fit a physical deflector (or equivalent) to direct hot air from the cabin heater away from the electric fuel pump, complying by 1 January 1971. One acceptable design is Drawing No. LVAC III (available from Latrobe Valley Aero Club), but equivalent devices are permitted.

The obligation and associated parts, installation and downtime costs fall to aircraft owners/operators, creating a short-term market for retrofit parts and maintenance.
