2010-11-07: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Quartz Mountain Aerospace, Inc. Model 11E airplanes. This AD requires you to clean and lubricate the aileron pushrod bearings. This AD results from reports of the aileron control stick force increasing and of the controls being very noisy. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct insufficient lubrication and residual metallic paint particles in the pushrod end ball joints, which could result in difficulty actuating aileron controls sometime during flight after takeoff. This condition could lead to difficulty controlling the airplane in flight.
2004-03-10: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R (collectively called A300-600) series airplanes; and Model A310 series airplanes. This AD requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to provide the flight crew with procedures to maintain controllability of the airplane in the event of an in-flight deployment of the thrust reverser. This action is necessary to ensure that the flight crew is advised of the potential hazard associated with an in-flight deployment of the thrust reverser, and the procedures necessary to address it. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
95-25-05: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Beech Model 400A airplanes, that requires an inspection to verify if the securing rivet is installed on the rod end of the control push rods of the spoiler flight control system, an inspection to verify if the jam nut is secure on the opposite end of the rod end, and repair of any discrepancy. This amendment is prompted by a report of loss of roll control on the co-pilot's control wheel shortly after takeoff due to a rivet missing from the control push rod. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure that the push rod rivets are installed. Missing control push rod rivets could result in the disengagement of the push rod end from the push rod tube; this could lead to loss of roll control and subsequent reduced controllability of the airplane after takeoff.
2021-03-11: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-02- 21, which applied to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 2000 airplanes. AD 2020-02-21 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2021-04-07: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Piper Aircraft, Inc., (Piper) Models PA-46-350P (Malibu Mirage), PA- 46R-350T (Malibu Matrix), and PA-46-500TP (Malibu Meridian) airplanes. This AD was prompted by a finding of several airplanes with wing assemblies that did not have the proper stall warning heater modification design. Without the proper stall warning heat control modification kit installed, during flights into icing conditions with the landing gear down, ice can form on the stall vane, which may result in failure of the stall warning system. This AD requires identifying and correcting nonconforming stall warning heat control systems. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
2004-03-08: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Learjet Model 31, 31A, 35, 35A (C-21A), 36, and 36A airplanes, that requires modification of the drag angles of the fuselage and engine pylons to gain access to the shear webs of the forward engine beams; repetitive inspections of the shear webs of the forward engine beams for cracks; follow-on actions; and modification/repair of the shear webs of the forward engine beams, as necessary, which terminates the repetitive inspections. This action is necessary to prevent significant structural damage to the engine pylons, possible separation of the engines from the fuselage, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
95-18-04: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Beech Model 400 and 400A airplanes, that requires modification of the autopilot and rudder boost interlock. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that the rudder boost system installed on these airplanes does not operate correctly during deployment of a thrust reverser. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent incorrect operation of the rudder boost system during deployment of a thrust reverser and to prevent the autopilot from exceeding certain bank angle limits; these conditions could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
95-24-14: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain de Havilland Model DHC-8 series airplanes. This action requires eddy current inspections to detect cracking of the pivot tubes in the drag strut of the nose landing gear (NLG), and repair or replacement of any cracked tube with a serviceable or new tube. This amendment is prompted by reports that the pivot tubes cracked or failed completely due to fatigue. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such fatigue cracking and subsequent failure of the pivot tube, which could result in a nose gear-up landing.
69-15-06: 69-15-06 LEARJET: Amendment 39-802. Applies to Model 23 (Serial Numbers 23-012, 23-019 and 23-030 thru 23-099) equipped with Controlex ball bearing throttle cables; Model 24 (Serial Numbers 24-100 thru 24-139) equipped with Controlex ball bearing throttle cables; and (Serial Numbers 24-140 thru 24-180); and Model 25 (Serial Numbers 25-003 thru 25-024) Airplanes. Compliance: Within 50 hours' time in service after the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive, unless already accomplished: To prevent the possibility of the engine power control cable jamming, accomplish the following: Remove the one-piece Controlex throttle cables and install two-piece quick-disconnect type ball bearing throttle cables in accordance with Lear Service Kit No. 23/24/25-317, dated May 19, 1969, or later Federal Aviation Administration approved revision, or an equivalent approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Central Region. This amendment becomes effective August 15, 1969.
2021-01-01: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. This AD was prompted by evidence that a revised structural life limit of some components of the nose landing gear (NLG) and/or main landing gear (MLG) was not implemented during repair. This AD requires verifying that the affected components are installed on the airplane, revising the structural life limits in the existing structural deviation inspection requirements (SDIR) airplane document, and replacing affected components if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
