The FAA supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2003-24-13, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 172R, 172S, 182S, 182T, T182T, 206H, and T206H airplanes that are equipped with a certain Honeywell KAP 140 autopilot computer system installed on the center instrument control panel near the throttle. AD 2003-24-13 currently requires you to install an update to the operating software of certain KAP 140 autopilot computer system, change the unit's part number, and change the software modification identification tab. This AD is the result of the FAA inadvertently omitting four affected Honeywell KAP 140 autopilot computer system part numbers and an affected airplane serial number from the applicability section of AD 2003-24-13. This AD retains the actions required in AD 2003-24-13, corrects the applicability section, and incorporates a revised installation bulletin issued by Honeywell.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) For airplanes previously affected by AD 2003-24-13: install the update to the KC 140 autopilot computer system operating software. | Within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after January 20, 2004 (the effective date of AD 2003-24-13), unless already done. | Follow Cessna Service Bulletin SB02-22-01, dated November 25, 2002, and Honeywell Service Bulletin No: KC 140-M1, dated August 2002, as specified in Honeywell Installation Bulletin No. 491, Rev. 3, dated April 2003. |
| (2) For airplanes previously affected by AD 2003-24-13: do the following: (i) Change the unit part number by attaching flavor sticker, part number (P/N) 057-02203-0003, on the unit's serial tag; (ii) Attach an M decal, P/N 057-02984-0501, in front of the unit serial number (this indicates that the unit's P/N has been changed); and (iii) Attach a software mod tag, P/N 057-05287-0301, in place of the old tag to indicate the software change to SW MOD 03/01. | Prior to further flight after installing the update to the KC 140 autopilot computer system operating software as specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, unless already done. | Follow Honeywell Service Bulletin No: KC 140-M1, dated August 2002, as specified in Cessna Service Bulletin SB02-22-01, dated November 25, 2002. |
| (3) For airplanes not affected by AD 2003-24-13: install the update to the KC 140 autopilot computer system operating software. | Within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after September 12, 2004 (the effective date of this AD). | Follow Honeywell Installation Bulletin No. 491, Rev. 3, dated April 2003; Cessna Service Bulletin SB02-22-01, dated November 25, 2002; Honeywell Service Bulletin No: KC 140-M1, dated August 2002; and Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SB98-22-01, dated May 18, 1998, as applicable. |
| (4) For all affected airplanes: install only KC 140 autopilot computer systems, part number (P/N) 065-00176-2501, P/N 065-00176-2602, P/N 065-00176-5001, P/N 065-00176-5101, P/N 065-00176-5201, P/N 065-00176-5402, or P/N 065-00176-7702, that have been modified as specified in paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), and (e)(3) of this AD. | As of September 12, 2004 (the effective date of this AD). | Not applicable. |
(f) You may request a revised flight manual supplement from Cessna at the address specified in paragraph (h) of this AD.
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.
