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 adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Maule Aerospace Technology (Maule) M-4, M-5, M-6, M-7, MX-7, MXT-7 series and Models MT-7-235, and M-8-235 airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of certain wing lift struts for internal corrosion and replacement of the struts if corrosion is detected. An accident involving a wing separating from a Maule airplane in flight prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent corrosion of the wing lift strut, which, if not detected and corrected, could cause the wing to separate from 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.
