Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-17367 · Wings
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Airplanes
This AD applies to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl P2006T airplanes, serial numbers 001/US through 9999/US, certificated in any category.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam srl Model P2006T airplanes. 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 multiple cracks found on the outboard aileron hinge support of a P2006T airplane during an inspection. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Unless already done, do the following actions following the Inspection Instructions, paragraph 2, numbers 1 through 8, in Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM Service Bulletin No. SB 102-CS-Rev2, dated July 3, 2012:
(1) At the compliance times below, inspect all aileron hinge supports part numbers (P/N) 26-1-1082-1/3, P/N 26-1-1081-1/3, P/N 26-1-1081-2/4, and P/N 26-1-1082-2/4 for cracks:
(i) For airplanes with 600 or more hours time-in-service (TIS) as of April 9, 2013 (the effective date of this AD): Within 30 days after April 9, 2013 (the effective date of this AD) or within the next 25 hours TIS after April 9, 2013 (the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs first, and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first,
(ii) For airplanes with less than 600 hours TIS as of April 9, 2013 (the effective date of this AD): Within 30 days after accumulating 600 hours TIS or within 25 hours TIS after accumulating 600 hours TIS, whichever occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs first.
