Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10559 · SOCATA Groupe Aerospatiale Model TBM 700 Airplanes
SOCATA Groupe Aerospatiale Model TBM 700 Airplanes
Model TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 83, and 93 through 109, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA Groupe Aerospatiale (SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the elevator trim tab fittings for cracks, and replacing any elevator trim tab found to have cracks. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracks in the elevator trim tab fittings, which could result in separation of the elevator trim tab and 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.
