What to do
Affected owners and operators of the specified Cessna airplane models should review FAA AD 2011-10-09 alongside the three AMOCs detailed in SAIB CE-12-14 to determine the most appropriate compliance method. They should consult the AMOC letters available in Docket No. FAA-2010-1101 and coordinate with the FAA or Cessna Aircraft Company for implementation guidance. No specific compliance deadlines are stated in this bulletin beyond those in the original AD.
Summary
The document titled 'Cessna Aeroplanes - Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) for FAA AD 2011-10-09' is a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB CE-12-14) issued by the FAA. It addresses three alternative methods of compliance for FAA Airworthiness Directive 2011-10-09, which affects multiple Cessna airplane models including the 150, 152, 170, 172, 175, 177, 180, 182, 185, 188, 190, 195, 206, 207, 210, T303, 336, and 337 series. The AMOCs provide more efficient and cost-effective procedures for seat track inspections and repairs while maintaining safety standards.
What changed
This SAIB introduces three alternative methods of compliance for FAA AD 2011-10-09, including repair procedures for steel seat foot and roller housings on Cessna 150 and 152 series airplanes, relief from the mandatory 100-hour repetitive seat track inspections for some operators, and roller housing inspections for various Cessna models listed in the AD. These alternatives offer operators options that may reduce inspection frequency or provide different repair techniques.
Why it matters
These alternative methods of compliance are important for aviation professionals because they can reduce maintenance costs and downtime while ensuring continued airworthiness and safety. Operators and maintenance organizations can benefit from more flexible compliance options that still address the unsafe condition identified in FAA AD 2011-10-09. This can improve operational efficiency and resource allocation.
