              Requirement: 1. Unless previously accomplished, disengage the PITCH TRIM circuit breaker on the left circuit breaker panel and the SERVO 1 circuit breaker on the right circuit breaker panel, and install tie straps on those circuit breakers, in accordance with paragraphs 1.A. and 1.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Cessna Alert Service Letter ASL560-27-10, dated 10 October 2003.

            Background: This Directive requires disengaging and tie-strapping the pitch trim and autopilot servo (servo 1) circuit breakers. This action is necessary to prevent a single-point failure in the trim system from causing a runaway trim condition that the pilot may be unable to stop by using the autopilot-disconnect switch. This condition could result in loss of control of the aeroplane. The Directive also provides an optional inspection and follow-on actions that, if accomplished, terminates the requirement to disengage and tie-strap those circuit breakers.
