SOCATAGroupe Aerospatiale Model TBM 700 Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2014-09-03. Comply with the one in force.
Model TBM 700 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all SOCATA--Groupe Aerospatiale (SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the left-hand and right-hand outboard hinge fittings of the horizontal stabilizer for cracks, and replacing any cracked fitting. 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 structural damage to the stabilizer caused by outboard hinge fitting cracks, which could result in uncontrolled flight if the hinges break.
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.
