Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of power control unit (PCU) rod end fractures due to pitting corrosion. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which, if not detected and corrected, could lead to a disconnect between the PCU and the control surface, resulting in potential loss of the control surface function or inadequate flutter suppression.

Affected ADs

None.
