AD: Air Tractor, Inc. Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2014-16-17

PRODUCT: Certain Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes.
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-17-18 R1, which applies to the products listed above.

AD 2010-17-18 R1 required repetitively inspecting (using the eddy current method) the two outboard fastener holes in both of the wing main spar lower caps at the center splice joint for cracks; repairing or replacing any cracked spar; changing the safe life for certain serial number ranges; and sending the inspection results, only if cracks are found, to the FAA.

This new AD retains all actions of AD 2010-17-18 R1 and expands the applicability to include all serial numbers regardless of configuration or operational use. This AD was prompted by our determination that the safe life for the wing main spar lower caps should apply to all Models AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes regardless of configuration or operational use.

The FAA is issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective September 29, 2014.

FMI: AD
