69-06-01: 69-06-01 FAIRCHILD-HILLER: Amdt. 39-734. Applies to Type F-27 Airplanes Serial Numbers 1 through 124 inclusive. Incorporating Cutler Hammer P/N 6046 H46 Relay in Flap Control System. Compliance required as follows: To prevent hazards associated with flap drive system failure whereby the flaps are driven off the drive screw jacks, accomplish the following: (a) Within the next 200 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at 200 hour intervals from the date of the last inspection, open cover of wing flap system motor relay and visually inspect all contacts. Any finding of contact pitting or discoloration of contacts requires replacement of the relay with an unused part. The inspection may be terminated upon completion of the requirement of paragraph (b) of this AD. (b) Within the next 500 hours time in service after the effective date of the AD, unless already accomplished, rewire the flap drive circuit in accordance with Fairchild Hiller F- 27 Service Bulletin F-27-27-67 dated February 1, 1969, for F-27 aircraft, or later revisions approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA Eastern Region, or perform an equivalent modification approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA Eastern Region. (c) Upon request with substantiating data submitted through an FAA Maintenance Inspector, compliance time may be increased by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA Eastern Region. This amendment is effective March 26, 1969.
2005-13-37: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for damage of the drive rod assembly of the aileron tab on each aileron actuator; repetitive measurements of the clearance between the aileron hydraulic lines and the drive rod; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD is prompted by a report of an aileron 2 fault caused by severe wear of the polyamide washer that is part of an anti-rotation bush assembly in the aileron attachment lug. We are issuing this AD to prevent excessive wear of the polyamide washer of the aileron actuator bush assembly, which could result in aileron flutter and loss of control of the airplane.
2010-23-12: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: * * * * * Investigation conducted by Thales on * * * probes revealed oil residue between the stator and the rotor parts of the AoA [angle of attack] vane position resolvers. This oil residue was due to incorrect cleaning of the machining oil during the manufacturing process of the AoA resolvers. At low temperatures, this oil residue becomes viscous (typically in cruise) causing lag of AoA vane movement. Such condition could lead to discrepant AoA measurement. If not corrected, and if two or three AoA probes were simultaneously affected and provided wrong indications of the AoA to a similar extent, it could lead to a late activation of the angle ofattack protection, which in combination with flight at high angle of attack would constitute an unsafe condition. * * * * * We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
70-14-05: 70-14-05 BELL: Amendment 39-1025. Applies to all Model 206A helicopters certificated in all categories equipped with voltage regulator P/N 206-075-027-3. Compliance is required within 300 hours time in service after the effective date of this airworthiness directive, unless already accomplished. Replace the voltage regulator, Bell Part No. 206-075-027-3, in accordance with the instructions in paragraphs 1 through 11, as applicable, of Bell Helicopter Company Service Letter No. 206A-139, Revision "A", dated October 14, 1969, or later FAA approved revision. Alternate means of compliance or equivalent replacement parts may be acceptable if approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Flight Standards Division, Southwest Region, Federal Aviation Administration. This amendment becomes effective August 15, 1970.
