Introduction
This Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) alerts you of an airworthiness concern on Cessna Models 120, 140, 150, 152, 170, 172, 172RG, 175, 177, and 177RG airplanes, regarding a discrepancy with Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) placard provided by Cessna Aircraft Company, part number 1205085-2.
Background
The routine surveillance of a Cessna Model 152 discovered that the ELT placard was wearing off the panel. The operator’s certified technician ordered a new ELT placard, part number 1205085-2, from Cessna, the technician noticed that the new placard references the wrong FAA regulation. The placard he ordered reads “EMERGENCY
LOCATOR TRANSMITTER INSTALLED
BEHIND THIS COVER MUST BE
SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR PART 91.52.” FAA Regulation 14 CFR 91.52 no longer exist, and has been superseded by 14 CFR 91.207.
Cessna has removed the old placard from its inventory and is in the process of producing a new placard. The new placard will read “EMERGENCY LOCATOR
TRANSMITTER INSTALLED BEHIND
THIS COVER MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH 14 CFR Part
91.207.” The new placard part number is 1205085-4. Cessna will also revise their maintenance manuals and parts catalogs at their next scheduled revision.
