## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to all SOCATA-Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This proposed AD would require you to perform a test on the flight control system and adjust the control roll stop if jamming occurs during the test. This proposed AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this proposed AD are intended to prevent the flight control wheels from traveling beyond normal roll control limits, which could result in the control wheel becoming jammed. Such a condition could lead to reduced or loss of control of the airplane.
