AD NUMBER: 2003-17-05R1
MANUFACTURER: Short
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-17-05R1
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness
directive (AD) to revise AD 2003-17-05, which applies to Short
Brothers & Harland (Shorts) Models SC-7 Series 2 and SC-7
Series 3 airplanes. AD 2003-17-05 currently establishes a technical
service life for these airplanes and allows you to incorporate
modifications, inspections, and replacements of certain life
limited items to extend the life limits of these airplanes. Since
we issued AD 2003-17-05, Shorts Service Bulletin SB 51-51 was
revised to Revision 8, dated July 5, 2006, and the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA),which is the Technical Agent for the
Member States of the European Community, issued an AD for the
European Community to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
product. AD 2003-17-05 contains conflicting information on the
repetitive visual inspection requirement.Consequently, this AD
would retain the technical service life for these airplanes; would
continue to allow modifications, inspections, and replacements of
certain life limited items to extend the life limits of these
airplanes; and would clarify the repetitive visual inspection
requirement between one of the service bulletins and the
maintenance program if an operator chooses to extend the life
limit. The actions specified by this AD are intended to clarify the
inspection information to prevent failure of critical structure of
the aircraft caused by fatigue.
