Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15122 · Time limits
SOCATA-Groupe Aerospatiale Models TB9, TB10, and TB200 Airplanes
This AD applies to Models TB 9, TB 10, and TB 200 airplanes, all serial numbers, 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, within the next 30 days after August 10, 2007 (the effective date of this AD), incorporate the life limits in the Airworthiness Limitations documents presented in paragraphs (f)(1), (f)(2), and (f)(3) of this AD into the FAA-approved maintenance program, as applicable. This may be done by updating the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the airplane maintenance manual (AMM) and inserting the following applicable revision. The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may do this action. Make an entry in the aircraft records showing compliance with this portion of the AD following section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
(1) For Model TB 9 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 9 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18;
(2) For Model TB 10 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 10 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18; or
(3) For Model TB 200 airplanes: Use SOCATA TB 200 Model Maintenance Manual, 04, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 18, dated September 2006, or later revision that incorporates the same life limit for the engine mount and NLG mount as the above referenced Revision 18.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No Differences.
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.
