We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within the next 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after February 13, 2007. (the effective of this AD), perform the initial inspection as specified in REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No. F406-58, Rev. 1, dated October 27, 2006.
(2) If no cracking is found following the initial inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, repeat the inspection every 50 flight hours or 1 month, whichever occurs first, until the conditions specified in paragraph (e)(3) of this AD are met.
(3) Within the next 100 hours TIS or 2 months after February 13, 2007. (the effective of this AD), whichever occurs first, install the modified pulley bracket as specified in REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No F406-58, Rev. 1, dated October 27, 2006.
(4) If any cracking is found during the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, prior to next flight, install the modified pulley bracket as specified in REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No F406-58, Rev. 1, dated October 27, 2006.
(5) The modified pulley bracket specified in REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No F406-58, Rev. 1, dated October 27, 2006, may be installed at any time after the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD, but must be installed prior to further flight if cracking is found.
