NOTE: Cessna Aircraft Company provides instructions in Service Letter SE75-7 for revision of the pages of the owner's manuals affected by the reduced fuel system capacity. To avoid discrepancies between these manuals and the aircraft placards, the manuals should be revised in accordance with Cessna's instructions. B) On all models of aircraft manufactured in and prior to 1973 review the aircraft records to determine if new fuel bladder(s) have been installed since June 1, 1973, and if so, comply with Paragraph A of this AD unless it is established that the fuel cells installed were manufactured prior to June 1, 1973, and this fact is entered in the permanent aircraft records. NOTE: The owner may review the aircraft records and if he determines that new fuel bladder(s) have not been installed since June 1, 1973, may enter such information in the aircraft records. C) Alternate methods of compliance with this AD must be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Central Region. This amendment becomes effective July 30, 1975. ## Affected data sheets (6) (OpenAirDocs) The type certificate data sheets whose models the AD names. - [TCDS A4CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A4CE): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 26 of 29 models: TP206B, TP206C, TU206A, U206, P206C, P206E, TP206A, P206A… - [TCDS 3A13](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/3A13): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 19 of 23 models: 182D, 182A, 182J, 182P, 182B, 182L, 182G, 182Q… - [TCDS 5A6](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/5A6): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 11 of 11 models: 180E, 180J, 180F, 180H, 180A, 180, 180B, 180D… - [TCDS 3A24](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/3A24): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 8 of 8 models: 185B, A185F, 185E, 185C, A185E, 185A, 185D, 185 - [TCDS A16CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A16CE): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 4 of 4 models: 207, T207, 207A, T207A - [TCDS A9CE](https://openairdocs.org/tcds/A9CE): Textron Aviation Inc.; names 3 of 7 models: A188A, A188B, A188 ## Registered aircraft it may apply to (OpenAirDocs) Matched by airframe and engine model; the AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment. - Aircraft: 17,793 (17,793 by airframe model, 0 by engine model) - Makers: Cessna 17,443, Textron 347, Cessna Wren 3 Models with the most aircraft: - [Cessna 182P](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182p): 2,099 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182Q](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182q): 1,565 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 180](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-180): 1,177 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna A185F](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-a185f): 1,109 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182T](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182t): 968 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182A](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182a): 784 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182S](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182s): 606 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182J](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182j): 487 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182R](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182r): 487 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182): 446 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182M](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182m): 432 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182H](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182h): 423 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182K](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182k): 413 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182L](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182l): 411 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182B](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182b): 406 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182G](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182g): 391 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 182E](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182e): 380 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna 180H](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-180h): 366 aircraft (airframe model) - [Textron 182T](https://openairdocs.org/model/textron-182t): 347 aircraft (airframe model) - [Cessna U206G](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-u206g): 346 aircraft (airframe model) All 81 models: https://openairdocs.org/ad/75-16-01/models.md Every aircraft: https://openairdocs.org/ad/75-16-01/aircraft.md Its text cites no advisory circulars or STCs. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
