AD 2025-03-09 Airworthiness Directives; Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A Airplanes
Makes named: tecnam. Models named: P2010, P2010 TDI. 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. (Tecnam) Model P2010 and P2010 TDI airplanes, all serial numbers (S/Ns) up to and including S/N 317, certificated in any category, except those on which the Tecnam modification MOD2010/359 has been installed.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 25 hours time-in-service or 30 days, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD, modify your airplane by installing larger diameter retainer washers on the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) rudder pedals torque tube hinges, installing new self-locking nuts, doing a functional or operating test of the system to ensure the retaining washers are installed properly and do not interfere with the lugs, and applying a torque stripe on the LH and RH nuts and bolts threads, in accordance with steps N 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of Appendix B, Accomplishment Instructions, in TECNAM Service Bulletin No. 817-CS-Ed. 1, Rev. 1, dated December 11, 2024.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the disconnection of a rudder pedals torque tube from one of its hinges. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in the rudder pedals assembly slipping out of its housing, resulting in the inability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane and loss of control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
