AD NUMBER: 2016-07-24

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.

FMI: AD
