FAA SAIB Addresses Cessna 180/185 Tail Cone Inspections

Focuses On Airplanes Equipped With Floats Or Skis

The FAA has issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin concerning the potential for cracks and corrosion in the stabilizer hinge brackets and tailcone reinforcement brackets on Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) Models 180 and 185 airplanes that are equipped with floats or skis.

Airplanes equipped with floats or skis are identified as “severe usage environments” in Cessna service manuals.

According to the FAA, a recent inspection of a Cessna Model 185 airplane revealed excessive up and down movement of the horizontal tail section. Upon further inspection, the stabilizer hinge brackets and tailcone reinforcement brackets were found cracked.

Textron Aviation has updated the Cessna supplemental inspection documents (SID) to address this concern. The FAA recommends adherence to the Cessna Service Manuals because of the “severe usage environments” as a result of these installations for these models.
