Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15367 · Cirrus Design Corporation Models SR20 and SR22 Airplanes
Cirrus Design Corporation Models SR20 and SR22 Airplanes
This AD applies to Model SR20 airplanes, serial numbers (SN) 1005 through 1861, and Model SR22 airplanes, SN 0002 through 2333, SN 2335 through 2419, and SN 2421 through 2437, that are certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cirrus Design Corporation (CDC) Models SR20 and SR22 airplanes. This AD requires you to inspect the rudder, aileron, and rudder-aileron interconnect rigging; correct any out-of-rig condition; replace the attaching hardware for the rudder-aileron interconnect arm; and report any out-of-rig condition found. This AD results from a jamming of the aileron and rudder controls on a Model SR20 airplane, which resulted in loss of rudder and aileron flight controls. We are issuing this AD to prevent the possibility of jamming of the rudder-aileron interconnect system, which may result in loss of rudder and aileron flight controls.
To address this problem, you must do the following, unless already done:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Inspect the rudder, aileron, and rudder-aileron interconnect rigging; correct any out-of-rig condition; and replace the attaching hardware for the rudder-aileron interconnect arm | At whichever occurs first: (i) Within the next 25 hours time-in-service (TIS) after March 11, 2008 (the effective date of this AD); or (ii) Within the next 3 months after March 11, 2008 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow Cirrus Service Bulletin No. SB 2X-27-14 R3, Revised: October 10, 2007. |
| (2) Only if you find an out-of-rig condition: Report to the FAA any out-of-rig conditions discovered as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD on the form in Figure 1 of this AD. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the information contained in this regulation under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act and assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056 | At whichever occurs later: (i) Within 10 days after the inspection required in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD; or (ii) Within 10 days after March 11, 2008 (the effective date of this AD) | Send the form (Figure 1 of this AD) to FAA, Manufacturing Inspection District Office, 6020 28th Avenue South, Room 103, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55450-2700; telephone (612) 713-4366; facsimile (612) 713-4365. |
Note: Temporary revisions to the airplane maintenance manuals (AMM), SR20 AMM Temporary Revision No. 27-1 and SR22 AMM Temporary Revision No. 27-1, both dated October 10, 2007, contain information pertaining to this subject.
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.
