Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17187 · Wings
GA200 (Pty) Ltd Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2012-18-10 R1. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to GA200 (Pty) Ltd Models GA200 and GA200C airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GA200 (Pty) Ltd Models GA200 and GA200C airplanes. 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 failure of the strut bolt through the main spar. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions.
(1) Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after September 14, 2012 (the effective date of this AD), and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed every 100 hours TIS, do the inspections required following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012.
(2) If you find any discrepancy in any of the inspections required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, take corrective actions following GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA200-2012-08, Issue 1, dated August 22, 2012.
