AD 2016-07-24 required replacement and repetitive inspections of the hardware securing the elevator trim tab push-pull rod. This AD retains the actions for AD 2016-07-24 but revises the repetitive inspection intervals and allows for a longer bolt for the attachment of the elevator trim tab actuator rod end to the push-pull tube connection and/or for the elevator trim tab horn end to the push-pull tube connection. This AD was prompted by comments indicating difficulties with bolt installation and requesting a revision to repetitive inspection intervals to coincide with established inspection intervals. We are issuing this AD to prevent jamming of the elevator trim tab in a position outside the normal limits of travel due to the loss of the attachment hardware connecting the elevator trim tab actuator to the elevator trim tab push-pull rod, which could result in loss of control. 81 FR 58813 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-08-26/2016-20073 2016-20073 fr26au16-3 RIN 2120-AA64 4910-13-P Docket No. FAA-2016-8992 Directorate Identifier 2016-CE-021-AD Amendment 39-18621 AD 2016-17-08 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-08-26/2016-20073 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-08-26/html/2016-20073.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-08-26/pdf/2016-20073.pdf Air Transportation Aircraft Aviation Safety Incorporation by Reference Safety 4 p. 58813 58816 81 FR 58813 Title 14 Part 39 14 CFR Part 39 RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Textron Aviation, Inc.
