The airworthiness directive

51-09-03 TAYLORCRAFT: Applies to All Series Aircraft Below Serial Number 13001 Incorporating a Pushpull Type Fuel Shutoff Control.

Compliance required not later than June 1, 1951.

To prevent accidental operation of the fuel shutoff valve during flight, a safety device must be installed on this control. The device is to prevent inadvertent operation of the fuel shutoff valve by requiring a definite and positive movement by the pilot before the control can be operated. Taylorcraft P/N B12-947-3 or equivalent is considered satisfactory. P/N B12-947 which was previously installed in some Taylorcraft airplanes must be replaced by this improved part.

(Taylorcraft Service Bulletin No. 66 dated December 6, 1950, covers this same subject.)

This supersedes AD 47-13-01.
