AD 2019-21-08 Airworthiness Directives; Textron Aviation Inc. (Type Certificate Previously Held by Beechcraft Corporation) Airplanes
Makes named: textron aviation. 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 Beechcraft Corporation) airplanes, certificated in any category: (1) Models E33, E33A, E33C, F33, G33, 35-C33, 35-C33A, K35, M35, N35, P35, S35, V35, V35A, and 36, all serial numbers (S/Ns); (2) Model F33A, S/Ns CE-290 through CE-680; (3) Model F33C, S/Ns CJ-26 through CJ-128; (4) Model V35B, S/Ns D-9069 through D-9961; and (5) Model A36, S/Ns E-185 through E-925.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 30 days after November 22, 2019 (the effective date of this AD) inspect the forward and aft right aileron flight control cable end fittings that thread into the turnbuckle. To gain access to the end fittings, you must remove the front seats and floorboards and, if installed, the rear seats and under-seat closeout. The end fittings are located underneath the heating duct, just forward of the aft carry through spar. Note to paragraph (g) of this AD: Adjusting the turnbuckle relative to the end fittings will affect cable tension. (1) Remove any safety wire from the end fittings and turnbuckle, if installed. Remove any sleeving and tape on the shank of the cable end fittings without gouging or scratching the fitting surface. (2) Using a 10X magnification, a mirror, and a light source, inspect all exposed surfaces of both control cable end fittings for cracks, pitting, and corrosion.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracked and fractured right aileron flight control cable end fittings (terminal attachment fittings). The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and address damaged right aileron flight control cable end fittings. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the right aileron flight control cable assembly, un-commanded right roll of the airplane, and loss of roll control in the left direction, which may lead to loss of control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
