Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
For all airplanes except Model 382J airplanes: Within 35 days after the effective date of this AD, review the airplane maintenance records to determine if the left or right aft fuselage sloping longeron, having part number (P/N) 342986-( ), has been replaced on or after December 31, 2012.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report indicating a quality audit found aft fuselage sloping longerons manufactured with an overaged condition ( i.e., understrength). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possibility of both aft sloping longerons being understrength, which would reduce the structural integrity of the airplane below limit load ( i.e., maximum load to be expected in service) and could lead to failure of both longerons. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in loss 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.
