SOCATA-Groupe AEROSPATIALE Model TBM 700 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2002-09-11. Comply with the one in force.
The Federal Register printed this AD without its applicability text. Read it at the link below.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires you to apply Loctite on attaching bolt/ screw threads of inboard, central, and outboard carriages; increase tightening torques of associated hardware; and replace central carriage attaching bolts. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent loose, or the loss of, flap attaching bolts/screws, which could cause rough or irregular control. Such rough or irregular control could lead to the loss of control of the airplane.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
