This emergency AD prohibits such flight permits.

Unsafe condition

(d) This AD is the result of flight control system problems found on airplanes within Cessna's control that could also exist on airplanes produced and delivered within a certain time period. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of airplane control due to incorrect or inadequate rigging of critical flight systems. Airplanes affected by this AD may have additional flight control issues beyond those listed in “What events caused this AD action?'
