Amdt 1
Vented Fuel Caps 8/80
Applicability: Models 188 and A188 (with wing fuel tanks) with S/Nos. 653, 18800446 to 18800572 and 18800573 to 18800762.
Requirement: Install vented fuel cap(s) in accordance with Cessna SL No. SE77-6;

Note: Installation of a placard is not an acceptable alternative to installation of vented fuel caps.
Compliance: Within 100 hours time in service after 31 August 1979 or before 1 January 1980 whichever is the later.

Due to some misinterpretation of this Directive a NOTE has now been added to disallow the fitting of a placard.
