This AD applies to Aviat Aircraft Inc S-1S, S-1T, S-2, S-2A, S-2B, S-2S.
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 Aviat Aircraft, Inc. (Aviat) Models S-1S, S-1T, S-2, S-2A, S-2S, and S-2B airplanes that are equipped with a flight control stick with a wall thickness of .035 inch. This action requires repetitively inspecting the flight control stick for cracks, and replacing any cracked flight control stick with one with a wall thickness of .058 inch. An incident on an Aviat Model S-2A airplane where the flight control stick fractured in flight prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the inability to maneuver the airplane because of a cracked flight control stick, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of June 7, 1996. Comments for inclusion in the Rules Docket must be received on or before July 19, 1996.
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.
