The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) says up to 3,000 light planes
will be grounded across the country tonight because of safety concerns.

A spokesman says inspections are needed on the fuel injection systems of the
small planes, which carry between four and 10 passengers.

He says concerns about the planes were raised last night by the United
States Federal Aviation Administration.

He says no large commercial airlines are affected.

Aaaaahhhh - it's as comforting as a hot water bottle and your favourite
Teddy Bear to see nothing has changed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Requirement: 1. Inspect the fuel injection servo plug, P/N 383493, for
looseness, by attempting to turn it by hand, while being careful not to
damage the safety wire or seal. If the plug moves, it is loose.

a. If the plug is not loose, proceed to Compliance 2 of this AD."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"2. Repeat the inspection and remedial steps specified in Requirement 1 of
this AD."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry fellas - you're stuck until the end of time if the bloody plug was not
loose :-) :-)
