Summary

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-16-07 R1, which applies to certain Reims Aviation S.A. (type certificate now held by ASI Aviation) Model F406 airplanes. AD 2015-16- 07 R1 requires inspecting the left-hand and right-hand rudder control pedal torque tubes and replacing with a serviceable part as necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2015-16-07 R1, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) superseded its mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) to correct an unsafe condition on these products. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2015-16-07 R1, expand the applicability, and require repeating the inspections using updated procedures. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
