Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15445 · Wings
APEX Aircraft Model CAP 10 B Airplanes
This AD applies to the following CAP 10 B airplanes that are certificated in any category:
(i) serial numbers 300 through 310; and
(ii) serial numbers 1 through 40 that have been retrofitted with carbon/wood wing reference 5702-0104048* (*with or without a variable letter or number at the reference end).
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 within the next 6 months after April 30, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), following APEX Aircraft Service Bulletin No. 031004 R1, Revision 1, dated November 12, 2007:
(1) Inspect the four mounting wooden blocks of the control stick base cover for loose bonding (gluing); and
(2) If any wooden block is found to be loose, take corrective action.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
