AD 2022-19-11 Airworthiness Directives; Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A. Airplanes
Makes named: tecnam. Models named: P2006T. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A. Model P2006T airplanes, all serial numbers (S/N) up to 345 inclusive, and S/N 348, 352, 353, 355, and 357, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, perform a detailed visual inspection of the aileron control assembly, part number 26-9-1502-000, for cracks and damage (including missing paint, nicks, or scrapes) and measure the length of the screws installed on the ceiling cover panel. (1) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD, any crack or damage (including missing paint, nicks, or scrapes) is found on the aileron control rod assembly, before further flight, repair using a method approved by the FAA; the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or Tecnam's Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized signature. (2) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD, any screws installed on the ceiling cover panel do not match the limits specified in paragraph (g)(2)(i) or (ii) of this AD, before further flight, replace that screw with the correct screw identified in paragraph (g)(2)(i) or (ii) of this AD, as applicable. (i) If blind rivet nuts are installed on the ceiling panel covering the aileron control assembly, then the correct panel screw would be 12mm in length with part number UNI7689-3-12. (ii) If blind rivet nuts are not installed on the ceiling panel covering the aileron control assembly, then the correct panel screw would be equal to or less than 10mm in length with part number UNI6594-2.9-9.5. Note to paragraph (g): Tecnam Service Bulletin 574-CS-Edition 1, Revision 3, dated August 1, 2022, contains information related to this subject.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct screws of excessive length installed on the ceiling panel covering the aileron control assembly, which could cause the aileron control rod to become jammed, cracked, or damaged. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in unintended jamming of the aileron control assembly, the inability to use the aileron control surfaces, and loss of control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
