DCA/CESS175/2 Fuel, Oil or Hydraulic Hose - Removal

This directive requires checking maintenance records for specific fuel, oil, or hydraulic hoses replaced between March 1995 and March 1997. If any hoses with a certain part number are found, they must be replaced to prevent system failures.

DCA/CESS175/3 Fuel Selector Valve Cam - Replacement

This section addresses the replacement of affected fuel selector valve cams or valves for specific serial numbers to prevent loss of engine power. Compliance is required by October 31, 2002, unless already accomplished.

DCA/CESS175/4 Shoulder Harness – Inspection & Modification

This directive requires an inspection of the shoulder harness adjusters for certain serial numbers to prevent slippage that could lead to injury. Compliance must be completed within the next 100 hours of flight time.

DCA/CESS175/6 Alternate Static Source Selector – Inspection

This section mandates an inspection of the alternate static air source selector valve to ensure it is unobstructed. Compliance is required before further flight.

DCA/CESS175/9 Seat Adjustment Mechanism – Inspection and Replacement

This directive requires inspections and corrective actions on seat adjustment mechanisms to prevent slippage or disengagement, which could impair control of the aircraft. Compliance is required within the next 100 hours of flight time.

Safety notes
