AD 2018-03-03 Airworthiness Directives; Textron Aviation Inc. Airplanes
Makes named: textron aviation, cessna. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the following Textron Aviation Inc. (type certificate previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company) model airplanes, that are certificated in any category: ER08MY18.009
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
For the inspections required in paragraphs (h), (i), (j) and (l) of this AD, do a detailed visual inspection of the left and right forward lower carry through spar cap for cracks. Using a 10X magnifier visually inspect the bottom surface of the carry through spar cap in the areas around the fasteners located just inboard of the left-hand and right-hand forward lower wing fittings. If a crack is not positively identified during the detailed visual inspection but is suspected or the area is questionable, before further flight, do a surface eddy current inspection of the suspected area. Do these inspections using the Accomplishment Instructions in Textron Aviation Multi-engine Mandatory Service Letter MEL-57-01 and Textron Aviation Conquest Mandatory Service Letter CQL-57-01, both dated December 18, 2017, as applicable.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by several reports of confusion in interpreting the compliance times for the initial inspection of the carry through spar cap. We are issuing this AD to eliminate confusion in interpreting the compliance times for this inspection. The unsafe condition related to this AD was previously addressed in AD 2018-03-03.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-03-03, Amendment 39-19176 (83 FR 6114, February 13, 2018) (“AD 2018-03-03”).
