What to do
Affected operators must inspect the forward and aft right aileron flight control cable end fittings for corrosion, pitting, and cracks within 30 days of November 22, 2019. Any damaged cable assemblies must be replaced promptly to comply with the directive and ensure continued airworthiness.
Summary
Airworthiness Directive 2019-23-10 is a final rule issued by the FAA addressing Textron Aviation Inc. airplanes, specifically models E33, E33A, E33C, F33, G33, 35-C33, 35-C33A, S35, V35, V35A, 36, and certain serial numbers of F33A, F33C, V35B, and A36. The directive mandates inspection and replacement of the right aileron flight control cable end fittings to prevent failure and potential loss of roll control.
What changed
This directive supersedes AD 2019-21-08 by retaining all inspection and replacement requirements but removes Models K35, M35, N35, and P35 from applicability based on configuration differences. It clarifies the affected models and updates the applicability to reflect this change.
Why it matters
This AD is critical for aviation professionals as it addresses a known unsafe condition involving cracked or fractured right aileron flight control cable end fittings that could lead to uncommanded roll and loss of control. Operators and maintenance teams must ensure compliance to maintain aircraft safety and regulatory adherence.
