Compliance
Unless already done, do the following actions. (1) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after September 14, 2012 (the effective date retained from AD 2012-18-10, Amendment 39-17187 (77 FR 55686, September 11, 2012)), inspect the inboard strut fitting following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012 (which is incorporated by reference in AD 2012-18-10); or GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. Repetitively thereafter inspect at intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. The inspection procedures remain the same; however, the revised service bulletin provides repair instructions in lieu of contacting the manufacturer. (2) If the 100-hour TIS repetitive inspection previously required in AD 2012-18-10, Amendment 39-17187 (77 FR 55686, September 11, 2012) has already been done before January 31, 2013 (the effective date of this AD) following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012 (which is incorporated by reference in AD 2012-18-10), the next required inspections are due at intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS after the last inspection following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012. (3) If any discrepancies are found during any of the inspections required by paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD, before further flight after the inspection in which the discrepancy is found, take all necessary corrective actions following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012 (which is incorporated by reference in AD 2012-18-10); or GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 2, dated September 4, 2012.
Required actions
The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Doug Rudolph, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 329-4059; fax: (816) 329-4090; email: doug.rudolph@faa.gov. Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product is airworthy before it is returned to service. (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in this AD, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, completing and reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, Attn: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as failure of the wing strut bolt through the main spar. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the wing strut bolt, which could result in wing failure.
Affected ADs
This AD revises AD 2012-18-10, Amendment 39-17187 (77 FR 55686, September 11, 2012).
