63-06-02 BELLANCA: Amdt. 543 Part 507 Federal Register March 19, 1963. Applies to Bellanca 14-13 Series and Downer 14-19 and 14-19-2 Aircraft. Compliance required as indicated. As a result of instances of elongation of the control cable attachment bolt hole in the rudder bellcrank, P/N 9817, accomplish the following: (a) Within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless accomplished within the last 75 hours' time in service, and thereafter within 100 hours' time in service from the last inspection, remove the left and right rudder bellcranks, P/N 9817, located at the left and right ends of the rudder torque tube. (This may be accomplished by working from inside the cabin and through the inspection hole in the bottom cabin cowl.) Inspect the control cable attachment bolt hole in the rudder bellcrank. (b) If the bolt hole is elongated beyond maximum diameter of 0.210 inch, replace the rudder bellcrank with a new rudder bellcrank of the same part number (P/N 9817), or P/N 9817 modified in accordance with Downer EAI No. 93021, or FAA approved equivalent prior to further flight. NOTE: Modified replacement parts for the Models 14-13, 14-19 and 14-19-2, Serial Numbers 4001 through 4088, are stamped "9817-DEAI-93021". Modified replacement parts for the Model 14-19-2, Serial Numbers 4089 through 4105, are stamped "9817-E EAI 93021". Parts numbered 9817-E are made of steel and may be modified in accordance with Downer EAI-93021 or an FAA approved equivalent. (c) The 100 hour repetitive inspections of the bellcrank hole which are required by (a) may be discontinued when rudder bellcrank P/N 9817 modified in accordance with Downer EAI No. 93021 or FAA approved equivalent is installed. This supersedes AD 62-19-01. This directive effective March 19, 1963.
