Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15883 · Navigation
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-12/47E Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2010-05-02. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Models PC-12/47E airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers (MSN) 545 and MSN 1001 and subsequent, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that will supersede an existing AD. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the 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, before further flight as of April 20, 2009 (the effective date of this AD), do the following actions:
(1) Incorporate Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Temporary Revision No. 11 to PC-12/47E Pilot's Operating Handbook, Report No. 02277, dated March 18, 2009, into the Pilatus PC-12/47E POH.
(2) Remove the information and/or the copy of AD 2009-04-14 required by AD 2009-04-14 to be inserted in the POH.
(3) The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR 43.7 may do the actions required in this AD. Make an entry in the aircraft records showing compliance with this portion of the AD following 14 CFR 43.9.
Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: (1) Since we never allowed incorporating Temporary Revision No. 9, dated January 30, 2009, into the POH, we are not requiring the removal of Temporary Revision No. 9, dated January 30, 2009, as the MCAI requires. (2) Current regulations (1 CFR 51.7) do not allow us to both incorporate by reference a service document and write the provisions of that document in the AD. We have chosen to incorporate by reference the temporary revision.
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.
