## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain AERMACCHI, S.p.A. (AERMACCHI) Models F.260, F.260B, F.260C, and F.260D airplanes. The proposed AD would require marking the airspeed indicator to indicate the correct flap operation range and stall speed of the airplane. The proposed AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Italy. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent the airplane from stalling at an airspeed higher than designed, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
