Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15449 · Structures
Pacific Aerospace Limited Model 750XL Airplanes
This AD applies to 750XL airplanes, serial numbers 101 through 108, 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 \1/8\-inch rivets installed in place of the correct \5/32\-inch rivets that secure the horizontal tail surface load transfer angles to the rearmost fuselage frame at Station 384.62. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions:
(1) Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after April 30, 2008 (the effective date of this AD), inspect to ensure that 1/8 -inch rivets are not installed in place of the correct 5/32 -inch rivets that secure the horizontal tail surface load transfer angles to the rearmost fuselage frame at Station 384.62 following Pacific Aerospace Corporation Limited Mandatory Service Bulletin No. PACSB/XL/010, dated: July 23, 2004.
(2) Before further flight, if you find undersized rivets are installed as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, replace the undersized rivets with the correct 5/32 -inch rivets following Pacific Aerospace Corporation Limited Service Mandatory Bulletin No. PACSB/XL/010, dated: July 23, 2004.
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.
