AD 2004-11-04 Airworthiness Directives; Eagle Aircraft (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd Model Eagle 150B Airplanes
Models named: Eagle 150B. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
(c) This AD affects Model Eagle 150B airplanes, all serial numbers, that are certificated in any category.
Required actions
(e) To address this problem, you must do the following: Note: The Australian AD allows an appropriately trained pilot to perform the visual inspections of the canard inboard flap hinge support brackets. Although the Malaysian AD does not specifically state this, it does refer to the Australian AD. Regardless, the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.3) only allow the pilot to perform preventive maintenance as described in 14 CFR part 43, App. A, paragraph (c). These visual inspections are not considered preventive maintenance under 14 CFR part 43, App. A, paragraph (c). Therefore, an appropriately-rated mechanic must perform all actions of this AD. Actions Compliance Procedures (1) Inspect the gusset weld area of the canard inboard flap hinge support brackets, part number (P/N) 5731D01-05 and P/N 5731D01-02, for cracks (cracked, lifted, or missing paint in the area of the weld or suspected cracks) Initially inspect prior to the next flight after June 4, 2004 (the effective date of this AD). Repetitively inspect thereafter before the first flight of each day Follow Eagle Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 1109, Revision Original, Effective Date August 29, 2003. (2) If cracked, lifted, or missing paint in area of the weld or suspected cracks are found during any inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, inspect the affected bracket more fully as specified in the service bulletin Prior to further flight after any inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) where cracked, lifted, or missing paint in the area of the weld or suspected cracks are found Follow Eagle Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 1109, Revision Original, Effective Date August 29, 2003. (3) If any crack(s) is/are found during any inspection required by this AD, replace the cracked bracket and continue to inspect per paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this AD Replace prior to further flight after the inspection where cracks are found. Inspect prior to the next flight after June 4, 2004 (the effective date of this AD) and thereafter before the first flight of each day Follow Eagle Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 1109, Revision Original, Effective Date August 29, 2003.
Unsafe condition
(d) This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Malaysia and Australia. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the canard inboard flap hinge support brackets caused by undetected cracks. This failure could result in asymmetric flap deployment and the inability to lower or raise the flaps with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
