Compliance
Required as indicated in the body of this AD, unless already accomplished. To prevent structural failure of the wing rear attachment fittings caused by cracks in this area, which could result in the wing separating from the airplane if the airplane is operated with cracked wing rear attachment fittings over an extended period of time, accomplish the following: Note 2: The compliance times of this AD are presented in landings instead of hours time-in-service (TIS). If the number of landings is unknown, hours TIS may be used by multiplying the number of hours TIS by 1.5. Note 3: The paragraph structure of this AD is as follows: Level 1: (a), (b), (c), etc. Level 2: (1), (2), (3), etc. Level 3: (i), (ii), (iii), etc. Level 2 and Level 3 structures are designations of the Level 1 paragraph they immediately follow. (a) Upon accumulating 3,000 landings on each wing rear attachment fitting (total of four; two per wing) or within the next 75 landings after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, inspect the wing rear attachment fittings for cracks in accordance with the ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS section of Socata Service Bulletin (SB) No. SB 10-082-57, Amdt. 1, dated April 1996.
