AD 2014-15-18 Airworthiness Directives; Mooney International Corporation Airplanes
Makes named: mooney. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the following Mooney International Corporation airplanes, certificated in any category: Models Serial Nos. (1) M20C 2313. (2) M20E 761. (3) M20M 27-0057. (4) M20R 29-0141 and 29-0513 through 29-0519. (5) M20TN 31-0101 through 31-0127.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified in paragraphs (g) through (i) of this AD, unless already done.
Required actions
(1) Within the next 10 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, inspect the part number (P/N) 350061-007 left hand (LH) and 350061-008 right hand (RH) outer empennage attach fittings for correct thickness following Step 1 of Mooney International Corporation Service Bulletin No. M20-318, dated June 2, 2014. (2) If the empennage attach fittings meet the dimensional requirements specified in Step 1 of Mooney International Corporation Service Bulletin No. M20-318, dated June 2, 2014, no further action is required except for the reporting requirement in paragraph (h) of this AD. (3) If any of the RH or LH empennage attach fittings do not meet the dimensional requirements specified in Step 1 of Mooney International Corporation Service Bulletin No. M20-318, dated June 2, 2014, before further flight, replace the empennage attach fittings having the incorrect thickness with new airworthy empennage attach fittings following Step 2 of Mooney International Corporation Service Bulletin No. M20-318, dated June 2, 2014.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by discovery of empennage attach fittings (Lugs) that do not meet the approved design dimensional requirements, which could result in possible reduction in fatigue or static strength, and/or corrosion. This unsafe condition could lead to possible structural failure of the attachment of the empennage to the fuselage causing loss of control. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
