Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11141 · Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160 Airplanes
Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160 Airplanes
Model R2160 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160 airplanes. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the aileron/flap common support bracket for cracks, loose rivets, or separation of the bracket from the skin, and reinforcing the bracket either immediately or at a certain time period depending on whether discrepancies are found during the inspections. Reinforcing the aileron/flap common support bracket terminates the repetitive inspection requirement. 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 detect defects in the aileron/flap common support bracket (cracks, loose rivets, or separation of the bracket from the skin), which could result in reduced or 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.
