## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Model AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes. This proposed AD would require you to replace the rudder control cables and fairleads with parts of improved design. This proposed AD is the result of a report that a rudder control cable broke because of wear at the aft fairlead. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent wear of the rudder control cables at the fairlead, which could cause the rudder control cable to break and result in loss of rudder control.
