Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a determination that certain elevator servo-control parts that do not conform to the approved type design have been installed and may have the potential of cracks in the rod eye-end. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct rod eye-end cracking, which could result in uncontrolled elevator surface and consequent reduced control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2011-19-04, Amendment 39-16809 (76 FR 57630, September 16, 2011).
