## The airworthiness directive

Compliance is required as indicated, unless already accomplished.

To detect a distorted or bent elevator bellcrank and prevent loss of pitch-up control, accomplish the following:

  (a) Within the next 10 hours' time in service after the effective date of this Ad, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours' time in service from the last inspection, visually inspect the elevator bellcrank (pitch control crank lever) in accordance with Socata Service Bulletin No. 89 GR 27.07, dated June 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent.

  (b) If a bent or distorted elevator bellcrank is found as a result of an inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, before further flight, replace the elevator bellcrank, No. 880-27.0.261.0, with a reinforced elevator bellcrank, No. 880-27.0.371.0, in accordance with the "Description" paragraph of Socata Service Bulletin No. 92 Gr:27-08, dated October 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent.

  (c) The inspections required by paragraph (a) of this AD may be discontinued after installation of a reinforced bellcrank, No. 880-27.0.371.0, in accordance with the Socata Service Bulletin No. 92 Gr:27-08, dated October 1971, or an FAA-approved equivalent.
