Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-15927 · Navigation
Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model C-212-CB, C-212-CC, C-212-CD, C-212-CE, C-212-CF, and C-212-DE Airplanes
This AD applies to CASA Model C-212-CB, C-212-CC, C-212-CD, C-212-CE, C-212-CF, and C-212-DE airplanes, all serial numbers; certificated in any category; on which pitot tubes having part number 212-61105.1 or 212-61105.2 are installed.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated 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 1 month or 300 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Perform a detailed inspection of the affected pitot tubes and static inlets for radial cracking around the top lip of the dynamic port, in accordance with the instructions of Chapter 5 of the CASA C-212 Series 100/200 Maintenance Manual, Revision 2, dated June 11, 2002. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 300 flight hours.
(2) If any crack is found during any inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, replace the pitot tube with a new pitot tube having P/N 212-A0150-0001 or 212-A0150-0002 in accordance with the instructions of CASA Service Bulletin SB-212-34-11, Revision 1, dated February 27, 2008. Replacement of both pitot tubes having part number 212-61105.1 and 212-61105.2 with new tubes terminates the repetitive inspections required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
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.
