67-11-05 MOONEY: Amdt. 39-370, Part 39, Federal Register March 30, 1967. Applies to Model M20 Airplanes, Serial Numbers 1002 through 1200, and Model M20A Airplanes, Serial Numbers 1201 through 1534.

Compliance required within the next 100 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless replacement has already been accomplished in accordance with AD 65-22-03, as amended August 20, 1966.

To prevent failure of the tail truss due to internal corrosion for which inspection is impractical, remove and replace P/N 4009 with a new tail truss P/N 480007 or an equivalent approved by the Director, Southwest Region, FAA.
