AD 2017-15-15 Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA Airplanes
Makes named: socata. Models named: TBM 700. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to SOCATA Model TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 1 through 184, 186, 187, 189 through 204, 206, and 207, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Unless already done, do the actions in paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this AD or paragraph (f)(3) of this AD: (1) Within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after October 29, 2002 (the effective date retained from AD 2002-19-01) and repetitively thereafter every time the flight control system undergoes maintenance, perform a test of the pilot and right-hand (RH) station control wheels to determine if either control wheel becomes jammed following SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin (SB) 70-095 27, dated November 2001. (2) If any jamming is found during any test required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, adjust the roll control stops on either the pilot control wheel or the RH station control wheel following SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory SB 70-095 27, dated November 2001. (3) To terminate the repetitive inspections required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD either of the following actions may be done: (i) Replace the rivets in the roll primary stops of both control wheels following the Accomplishment Instructions in DAHER SOCATA Mandatory SB 70-095, Revision 2, dated October 2016; or (ii) Install a roll control emergency stop on each control wheel following the Accomplishment Instructions of EADS SOCATA Recommended SB 70-114, dated December 2004.
Required actions
If done before September 6, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), this AD allows credit for replacement of the roll primary stop rivets on an airplane as specified in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this AD following the Accomplishment Instructions of SOCATA TBM Mandatory SB 70-095, original issue or revision 1.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as the flight control wheel traveling beyond normal roll control limits. We are issuing this AD to prevent the flight control wheel from becoming jammed and leading to reduced or loss of control.
Affected ADs
This AD supersedes AD 2002-19-01, Amendment 39-12881 (67 FR 59137, September 20, 2002) (“AD 2002-19-01”).
