Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10881 · Industrie Aeronautiche e Meccaniche Model Piaggio P-180 Airplanes
Industrie Aeronautiche e Meccaniche Model Piaggio P-180 Airplanes
Model Piaggio P-180 airplanes, serial numbers 1001, 1002, 1004, and 1006 through 1033, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Industrie Aeronautiche e Meccaniche (I.A.M.) Model Piaggio P-180 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the elevator and aileron control retaining pins for proper installation and damage, and replacing any improperly installed or damaged pins. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Italy. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the retaining pins from interfering with the flight control elements, which could result in loss of the cable retaining function with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
