Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-8838 · Textron Aviation Inc. Airplanes
Textron Aviation Inc. Airplanes
This AD applies to Textron Aviation Inc. T-34C.
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) 92-24-01, which currently requires inspecting the elevator balance arm assemblies of certain Beech Aircraft Corporation Models 34C and T34C-1 airplanes to ensure that sufficient welds exist to secure the balance weight tube to the attachment plate, and also requires replacing the assembly if insufficient welds are found. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that the existing AD should also apply to certain Beech Model T34C airplanes. This action retains the requirements of AD 92-24-01 and incorporates these Beech Model T34C airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent separation of an elevator balance arm assembly from the elevator because of an insufficient weld, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
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.
