CASA Urgent AD: Short

AD Number: AD/SD3-60/68
Subject: Short SD3-60 Airplane Elevator Trim Tab Balance Weight Brackets
Summary: During a routine structural inspection, an operator found that the elevator tab balance weight brackets on both trim tabs were cracked. Examination of the cracked brackets by the aircraft manufacturer determined that they were not manufactured in conformity to the approved design standard. The non-conformity has the potential to greatly reduce the fatigue life of the brackets, causing premature crack initiation and failure.
