The airworthiness directive

48-19-02 LOCKHEED: Applies to Models 49-46, 149-46, 649-79 and 749-79 Aircraft.

Compliance required at next No. 1 inspection, and thereafter at periods not to exceed 550 hours of operation.

Inspect the two fittings, P/N 256019, "Lever-Cockpit Torque Tube", in the elevator control system for the presence of cracks or other signs of failure at the rivet attachment points, particularly at the base of the arm. Remove and replace any defective parts. The periodic inspection may be discontinued if the two levers are replaced with new parts, LAC No. 302349, or are reinforced with additional fittings, LAC No. 302337, or their equivalents.

(LAC Service Bulletin 49/SB-456 covers the lever substitution or reinforcement.)
