AD: Textron Aviation, Inc. Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-07-24

PRODUCT: All Textron Aviation, Inc. Models 310 through 310R, E310H, E310J, T310P through T310R, 310J-1, 320 through 320F, 320-1, 335, 340, 340A, 401 through 401B, 402 through 402C, 411, 411A, 414, 414A, and 421 through 421C airplanes (type certificates 3A10, 3A25, and A7CE previously held by Cessna Aircraft Company).

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY: This AD requires replacement and repetitive inspections of the hardware securing the elevator trim push-pull rod.

This AD was prompted by lessons learned in accident investigation support, analysis of past accidents, and NTSB determinations of probable cause.

That information indicates that following the loss of the attachment hardware connecting the elevator trim tab actuator to the elevator trim tab push-pull rod, the elevator tab may jam in a position outside the normal limits of travel.

DATES: This AD is effective April 26, 2016. Comments must be received by May 26, 2016.
