Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21795 · Nose/tail landing gear
Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A. Airplanes
This AD applies to Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A. Model P2006T airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.P.A. Model P2006T airplanes. This AD was prompted by 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 identifies the unsafe condition as a manufacturing defect in the nose landing gear (NLG) piston tube. This AD requires replacing the NLG piston tube. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
(1) For airplanes with an NLG piston tube part number (P/N) 26-8-1408-1 installed and not marked “rev. F00”: Within 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD or within 2 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, replace any P/N 26-8-1408-1 NLG piston tube with an improved part by installing NLG piston tube kit number SB 288-1.
(2) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install an NLG piston tube P/N 26-8-1408-1 on any airplane unless it is marked “rev. F00.”
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.
