AD: Maule

AD NUMBER: 2008-24-02
MANUFACTURER: Maule
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-24-02
SUMMARY
: The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Maule Aerospace Technology, Inc.M-4, M-5, M-6, and M-7 series and Model M-8-235 airplanes.

This AD requires you to paint the top of the rear elevator control horn, the elevator control cable end attached to the top of the rear control horn, the bottom of the forward elevator control horn, and the elevator control cable end attached to the bottom of the forward control horn.

This AD also requires you to insert a supplement into your maintenance program (maintenance manual). This AD results from two reports of accidents where reversed elevator control rigging was a factor.

We are issuing this AD to reduce the likelihood of a mechanic rigging the elevator controls backwards, which could result in elevator movement in the opposite direction from control input. This condition could lead to loss of control.
