This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to American General Aircraft Corporation (American General) Models AA-5, AA-5A, AA-5B, and AG-5B airplanes. This action requires inspecting the wing attach shoulder bolts for fretting, scoring, wear, or enlarged or elongated mounting holes (known as damage from hereon), and replacing any damaged parts and repairing any damaged areas; and inspecting the wing spar at the center spar clearance gap for excessive clearance, and shimming the spar if excessive clearance is found. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wing attach shoulder bolt failure, which, if not detected and corrected, could lead to structural damage to the wing/fuselage to the point of failure.
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.
