Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15715 · Cessna Aircraft Company 150 Series Airplanes
Cessna Aircraft Company 150 Series Airplanes
This AD applies to Models 150, 150A, 150B, 150C, 150D, 150E, 150F, 150G, 150H, 150J, 150K, A150K, 150L, A150L, 150M, A150M, 152, and A152 airplanes that:
(1) Have a BRS-150 Parachute System with a serial number in the range of 50001 through 50006 installed via Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA64CH; and
(2) Are certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 150 series airplanes with the BRS-150 Parachute System installed via Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) SA64CH. This AD requires you to replace the pick-up collar support and nylon screws for the BRS-150 Parachute System. This AD results from notification by Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (BRS) that the pick-up collar assembly may prematurely move off the launch tube and adversely affect rocket trajectory during deployment. We are issuing this AD to prevent premature separation of the collar. This condition could result in the parachute failing to successfully deploy.
To address this problem, you must do the following, unless already done:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
|---|---|---|
| Remove the pick-up collar support, nylon screws, and launch tube and replace with a new pick-up collar support, custom tension screws, and new launch tube | Within the next 25 hours time-in-service after December 9, 2008 (the effective date of this AD) | Follow BRS Service Bulletin SB 2008-04-01 R1, issued April 24, 2008. |
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.
