Models named: CN-235, CN-235-200, CN-235-300, C-295. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Defense and Space S.A. (formerly known as Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.) Model CN-235, CN-235-200, CN-235-300, and C-295 airplanes, certificated in any category.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024-0049, dated February 20, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0049).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report that cracks were found on the horizontal stabilizer-to-fuselage rear attachment fitting. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking, which could lead to reduced structural integrity of the lugs on the horizontal stabilizer-to-fuselage rear attachment fittings. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in lug or fitting failure, and could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2018-18-09, Amendment 39-19388 (83 FR 45041, September 5, 2018) (AD 2018-18-09).
