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.

Procedure: Service
experience indicates that the unsafe condition in the main and nose gear
retraction links which prompted the issuance of AD's
61- 12-04 and 62-14-04 cannot in
all cases be detected by the inspection as required in those AD's. Therefore,
the following must be accomplished:
(a) Replace the main gear retraction
links with revised assembly Navion P/N 143-33165-20, Temco P/N 57001-9
or FAA approved
equivalent having the longer lap
welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the
end fitting.
(b) Replace the nose gear retraction
link with revised assembly Navion P/N 145-34106-20, Camair P/N 1-6031 or
FAA approved
equivalent having the longer lap
welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the
end fitting.
(c) Approval of equivalent parts
shall be obtained from an FAA Regional Engineering and Manufacturing Branch
or Aircraft Engineering
Division, as appropriate.
