AD: PILATUS AIRCRAFT LTD. Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2008-07-11 R1

PRODUCT: All PILATUS AIRCRAFT LTD. Models PC-12, PC-12/45, and PC-12/47 airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-07-11 R1
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is rescinding an airworthiness directive (AD) for the product listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product.

The FAA issued that AD to mandate new life limits for the pitch trim actuator and pitch trim actuator attachment parts. If these new limitations were not mandated, the pitch trim actuator and the pitch trim actuator components could fail. This failure could lead to an unsafe flying configuration.

Since issuing that AD, the FAA has determined that the unsafe condition addressed in that AD is now addressed in another AD.

DATES: This AD is effective March 25, 2013.

FMI: AD
