REIMS AVIATION S.A. Model F406 Airplanes
This AD applies to REIMS AVIATION S.A. Model F406 airplanes, serial numbers F406-0001 through F406-0089 and serial number F406-0091, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an 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 600 hours time-in-service or the next 12 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, and thereafter repetitively during a period not to exceed 12 months, inspect the ribs in accordance with REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No. F406-54 REV 1, dated November 9, 2004.
(2) If cracks are found during any inspection required by this AD, before further flight, do the actions prescribed in chapters 1D and 2E of the REIMS AVIATION INDUSTRIES Service Bulletin No. F406-54 REV 1, dated November 9, 2004.
Note 1: We have established the repetitive inspection times of this AD so that they may coincide with annual inspections.
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
