The airworthiness directive
60-03-06 NAVY: Amdt. 98 Part 507 Federal Register February 3, 1960. Applies to All N3N-3 Aircraft Including Those Certification in the Restricted Category. Compliance required within the next 10 hours' time in service. A fatal accident resulted when a control stick separated from the lower fitting. To preclude recurrence of this condition, the following shall be accomplished: (a) Replace the two rivets which attach the control stick to the bottom fitting with AN steel bolts, undrilled type, of the equivalent diameter of the rivets, AN 960 washers and AN 364 or AN 365 nuts. The bolt grip shall equal the diameter of the control stick plus the washer thickness. The bolt installation shall not interfere with the full range of control stick movement. This applies to the control sticks in both cockpits.
