To prevent hazardous accumulation of ice on the wing leading edge and horizontal stabilizer during flight in icing conditions, accomplish the following:

A. Prior to further flight:

1. Fabricate and install on the instrument panel, in clear view of the pilot, the following placard, using letters of a minimum of 0.10 inch in height: "FLIGHT INTO KNOWN OR FORECAST ICING PROHIBITED," and operate the airplane accordingly.

2. Revise the Airplane Flight Manual, Section II, Operating Limitations - Operations Authorized to read: "This airplane is approved for day and night, VFR, IFR flight. Flight into known or forecast icing conditions prohibited." This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the Airplane Flight Manual.

B. Within the next 15 flight hours or 15 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect and modify, as necessary, the fluid ice protection system left and right inboard wing installation in accordance with Accomplishment Instruction A. of Cessna Alert Service Letter SLAS550-30-05, dated December 17, 1985.

C. Within the next 25 flight hours or 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect and modify, as necessary, the fluid ice protection system left and right outboard wing and horizontal stabilizer installations in accordance with Accomplishment Instructions B. and C. of Cessna Alert Service Letter SLAS550-30-05, dated December 17, 1985.

D. Within 5 days after the required inspection, report any defects found to the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Central Region, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid-Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas 67209.

E. The requirements of paragraphs A.1. and A.2., above, may be accomplished by the holder of a pilot certificate issued under Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) on any airplanes owned or operated by him. The person accomplishing these actions must make the appropriate aircraft maintenance record entry as prescribed by FAR 91.173.

F. The requirements of paragraphs A.1. and A.2., above, are terminated upon the accomplishment of paragraphs B. and C. of this AD.

G. Airplanes may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to a location where the inspection/modification requirements of the AD can be accomplished.

H. Alternate means of compliance with this AD which provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Central Region, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid-Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas 67209.

All persons affected by this directive who have not already received these documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to Cessna Aircraft Company, P.O. Box 7704, Wichita, Kansas 67277.
