2004-21-08 R1: Aileron Control System

Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Amended] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by removing Amendment 39-13828 (69 FR 62396, October 26, 2004), and adding the following new AD: 2004-21-08 R1 Cessna Aircraft Company: Amendment 39-17400; Docket No. FAA-2004-18033; Directorate Identifier 2004-CE-16-AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective May 9, 2013. (b) Affected ADs This AD revises AD 2004-21-08, Amendment 39-13828, (69 FR 62396, October 26, 2004). (c) Applicability This AD affects Models 190, 195 (L-126A,B,C), 195A, and 195B airplanes, all serial numbers, that are: (1) certificated in any category; and (2) equipped with at least one part number (P/N) 0322709 or P/N 0322709-1 inboard aileron hinge bracket. (d) Subject Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 2710, Aileron Control System. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD was first prompted by several reports of cracks and corrosion found on the magnesium aileron hinge brackets. Magnesium is known to be susceptible to corrosion. Since issuance of AD 2004- 21-08 (69 FR 62396, October 26, 2004), reports of confusion between the casting number on the aileron hinge bracket and the part number called out in the AD have caused us to issue this revision to AD 2004-21-08. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD at the times specified following the procedures in Cessna Aircraft Company Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04-1, Revision 1, dated October 3, 2012, unless already done. (g) Credit for Actions Accomplished in Accordance With Previous ServiceInformation This paragraph provides credit for the actions required by paragraphs (h), (i), and (j) of this AD, if the actions were performed before the effective date of this AD using Cessna Aircraft Company Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04-1, dated April 26, 2004. All actions performed after May 9, 2013 (the effective date of this AD) will be required following Cessna Aircraft Company Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04-1, Revision 1, dated October 3, 2012. (h) Inspect Each P/N 0322709 and P/N 0322709-1 Inboard Aileron Hinge Bracket or Any Other Bracket Made From Magnesium for Cracks or Corrosion Within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after November 30, 2004 (the effective date retained from AD 2004-21-08, Amendment 39-13828 (69 FR 62396, October 26, 2004)), and repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS until each bracket is replaced with aluminum, inspect each P/N 0322709 and P/N 0322709-1 inboard aileron hinge bracket or any other bracket made from magnesium for cracks or corrosion. (i) Replace Any Cracked or Corroded Inboard Aileron Hinge Bracket Before further flight after any inspection where any cracked or corroded bracket is found, replace any cracked or corroded inboard aileron hinge. (1) If replacement is with an FAA-approved bracket made from magnesium, do the 100-hour TIS interval repetitive inspections as required in paragraph (h) of this AD. (2) If replacement is with an FAA-approved bracket that is made from aluminum, then no further inspections are necessary. These can be Cessna parts or non-Cessna parts. (j) Terminating Action for the Repetitive Inspections (1) As terminating action for the repetitive inspections, you may replace all inboard aileron hinge brackets with FAA-approved brackets that are made from aluminum (as specified in paragraph (i)(2) of this AD) regardless if any corrosion or crack is found. (2) You may do this replacement at any time, but you must replace any corroded or cracked bracket before further flight after the applicable inspection where any corrosion or crack is found. (k) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) (1) The Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the [[Page 20229]] authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
