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 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after December 26, 2007 (the effective date of this AD), following Aeromot Service Bulletin No. 200-20-102 Rev. B, dated January 23, 2006, install new bolts, washers, and castellated nuts with cotter pins in the following areas:
(1) Both main landing gear legs,
(2) Swivel tail wheel,
(3) Eye-bolt fittings located at firewall inside cabin,
(4) Left and right rudder pedal assembly,
(5) Bellcranks of the rudder cables assembly,
(6) Bellcranks of the propeller pitch control assembly, and
(7) Left and right wing hinge point.
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.
