CESSNA 177 — Airworthiness Directives

This document is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia for the Cessna 177 series aeroplanes. It addresses safety concerns related to the fuel selector valve and its cam, which could lead to inadequate fuel supply to the engine, posing a risk of emergency landing or loss of control. The directive outlines the specific models affected, the required actions for compliance, and the timeline for those actions. It is crucial for operators of the Cessna 177 series to review their aircraft's fuel selector components and ensure compliance with the directive to maintain safety standards.

• The AD is applicable to Cessna 177 series aeroplanes, including models 177, 177A, and 177B.
• Affected fuel selector valves were shipped from December 6, 1998, to May 10, 1999.
• Operators must replace specific fuel selector valve components as outlined in the AD.
• Compliance is required within 10 hours of time in service after January 27, 2000.
• Failure to comply may result in inadequate fuel supply and potential loss of control.
