The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that will supersede AD 86-26-04, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 120, 140, 140A, 150, F150, 170, 172, F172, FR172, P172D, 175, 177, 180, 182, 185, A185E, 190, 195, 205, 205A, 206, P206, P206E, TP206A, TU206, TU206E, U206, U206E, 207, T207, 210, T210, 336, 337, and T337 series airplanes. AD 86-26-04 currently requires you to inspect and, if necessary, modify the pilot/co-pilot upper shoulder harness adjusters that have certain Cessna accessory kits incorporated. This AD is the result of reports that additional airplanes have the same unsafe condition and the manufacturer revised the service information to add these airplanes and correct the part number of the shoulder harness adjusters. Consequently, this AD retains the actions of 86-26-04, adds additional airplanes to the applicability section of this AD, and incorporates the revised service information. We are issuing this AD to prevent slippage of the pilot/co-pilot shoulder harness, which could result in failure of the shoulder harness to maintain proper belt length adjustment and tension. Such failure could result in pilot/co- pilot injury.
To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Inspect only the upper shoulder harness adjuster (part number (P/N) 443030-401) for the presence of a retainer spring | Within the next 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) after November 1, 2004 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB86-8, Revision 1, and Cessna Multi-engine Service Bulletin MEB86-22, Revision 1, both dated July 28, 2003. |
| (2) If a retainer spring is found during the inspection of the upper shoulder harness adjuster (P/N 443030-401) required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: (i) Remove the spring by cutting each side; and (ii) stamp out the -401 identification number | Prior to further flight after the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD | Follow Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB86-8, Revision 1, and Cessna Multi-engine Service Bulletin MEB86-22, Revision 1, both dated July 28, 2003. |
| (3) If a retainer spring is not found during the inspection of the upper shoulder harness adjuster (P/N 443030-401) required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, make an entry in the airplane log book showing compliance with this AD | Prior to further flight after the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD | Follow Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB86-8, Revision 1, and Cessna Multi-engine Service Bulletin MEB86-22, Revision 1, both dated July 28, 2003. |
| (4) Only incorporate Cessna Accessory Kits identified in paragraph (d) of this AD that have been inspected and modified in accordance with paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), (f)(2)(i), and (f)(2)(ii) of this AD | As of November 1, 2004 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB86-8, Revision 1, and Cessna Multi-engine Service bulletin MEB86-22, Revision 1, both dated July 28, 2003. |
(g) If you did the actions of this AD using Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB86-8 and Cessna Multi-engine Service Bulletin MEB86-22, both dated November 21, 1986, no further action is required as long as you used shoulder harness adjuster, P/N 443030-401.
