Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12616 · Short Brothers Model SD3 Series Airplanes
Short Brothers Model SD3 Series Airplanes
All Model SD3 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Short Brothers Model SD3 series airplanes, that requires a one-time inspection of the installation of the bearing housings of the elevator torque shaft assembly, and corrective action if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the elevator torque shaft, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
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.
