Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8833 · Twin Commander Aircraft LLC Airplanes
Twin Commander Aircraft LLC Airplanes
This AD applies to Twin Commander Aircraft LLC 500, 500-A, 500-B, 500-S, 500-U, 520, 560, 560-A, 560-E, 560-F, 680, 680-E, 680-F, 680-FL, 680-FL(P), 680-T, 680-V, 680-W, 681, 720.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 65-06-01, which currently requires repetitively inspecting the wing front spar lower cap (spar cap) of both the left and right wings on certain Twin Commander Aircraft Corporation (Twin Commander) 500 and 600 series airplanes, and replacing any cracked spar cap. Front spar cap cracks developing on certain Twin Commander model airplanes not affected by that AD prompted this action. In addition, the manufacturer has updated the inspection procedures through improved service information. This action retains the inspection and repair requirements of AD 65-06-01, and requires inspecting in accordance with updated service information and increases the applicability to include other model airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the wing structure caused by cracks in the spar cap.
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.
