Applicability: All Navion Serial Numbers NAV-4- 2 and up, and all Twin Navion Aircraft, Temco D-16, Temco D-16A, Dauby, Riley, and Camair 480

Supersedes: AD's 61-12-04 and 62-14-04.

equivalent having the longer lap welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the end fitting.

equivalent having the longer lap welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the end fitting.
