Makes named: cessna. Models named: 560XL. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Cessna Aircraft Company Model 560XL airplanes; certificated in any category; serial numbers -5002 through -5372 inclusive, -5501 through -5830 inclusive, -6002 through -6080 inclusive, and -6082 through -6086 inclusive.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 800 flight hours or 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Modify the drain installation of the tailcone stinger on the aft canted bulkhead (i.e., install a drain and rubber seals), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Cessna Service Bulletin SB560XL-53-16, dated October 4, 2011.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of jammed or stiff rudder control due to water freezing on the rudder bias cables and pulleys of the stinger. We are issuing this AD to prevent ice accumulation on the cables and pulleys of the stinger, which could result in jamming of the rudder and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
