Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Requires operators of specified Moravan Zlin Z-242L aircraft (serials 0490, 0541 and 0651–0659) to update the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) per Moravan Mandatory Service Bulletin Z 242L/49a (or later EASA‑approved revision), adding limits on permissible aerobatic manoeuvres. CASA issued the directive because G‑load monitoring showed some aircraft exceeded certification limit loads during aerobatics; compliance is required before further flight after 25 April 2007, so owners must document the AFM change and operate within the new manoeuvre limits.
