AD 96-24-06 Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Model 560 Series Airplanes

Makes named: cessna. Models named: 560 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Model 560 series airplanes having serial numbers 560-0001 through 560-5000 inclusive; certificated in any category. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.

Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent uncommanded roll of the airplane during approach and landing when residual ice is present or can be expected, accomplish the following: Note 2: Cessna Citation Alert Service Letter A560-30-07, dated November 14, 1996, refers to the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) revisions required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Priority Letter AD. (a) For airplanes having serial numbers 560-0001 through 560- 0259 inclusive: Within 10 days after receipt of this Priority Letter, revise the Limitations Section, Normal Procedures Section, and Performance Section of the AFM by inserting Temporary AFM Changes 560FM TC-96-01, dated November 14, 1996; 560FM TC-96-02, dated November 14, 1996; 560FM TC-96-03, dated November 14, 1996; and 560FM TC-96-04, dated November 14, 1996; which introduce limitations, procedures, and corrected performance information for approach and landing when residual ice is present or can be expected. Thereafter, operate the airplane in accordance with those limitations, procedures, and performance information. Note 3: When these temporary changes have been incorporated into general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM and these temporary changes removed, provided the information contained in the general revisions is identical to that specified in Temporary AFM Changes 560FM TC-96-01, 560FM TC-96-02, 560FM TC-96-03, and 560FM TC-96-04. (b) For airplanes having serial numbers 560-0260 through 560- 5000 inclusive: Within 10 days after the receipt of this Priority Letter, revise the Limitations Section, Normal Procedures Section, and Performance Section of the AFM by inserting Cessna Model 560 Citation V Ultra (Unit -0260 and on) 56FMA-05, Revision 5, dated November 14, 1996, which introduces limitations, procedures, and corrected performance information for approach and landing when residual ice is present or can be expected. Thereafter, operate the airplane in accordance with those limitations, procedures, and performance information. (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, Small Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Operations Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Wichita ACO. Note 4: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Wichita ACO. (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
