Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15882 · Wiring elements
EADS SOCATA Model TBM 700 Airplanes
This AD applies to TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 434 through 478, 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:
Unless already done, do the following actions:
(1) Within the next 100 hours time-in-service after May 20, 2009 (the effective date of this AD) or within the next 12 months after May 20, 2009 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, inspect the electrical wiring harness at frame C14 and between frames C16 and C17 for wire chafing and incorrect routing following EADS SOCATA Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-163, dated November 2008.
(2) If any wire chafing and/or incorrect routing are found, before further flight, repair and reroute the electrical harness following EADS SOCATA Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-163, dated November 2008.
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.
