Unsafe Condition
The Narco Model 300 position light flasher is of non-fail-safe design and does not permit steady operation of the lights in case of flasher failure.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Install a three-position switch to permit steady operation of the lights in case of flasher failure, and provide a means for the pilot to detect flasher failure such as Plexiglas reflectors at wing tip lights or a monitor light on the instrument panel. The Van Dusen flasher (Cessna P/N 0511309-1) is acceptable as a fail-safe design.
