## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain CASA Model C-235 series airplanes. This proposal would require modification of the electrical wiring of the rudder trim control unit. This action is necessary to prevent the flight crew from being able to inhibit the aural warning for the landing gear up. If the flight crew of the next flight or possibly of the same flight is unaware that the aural warning had been disabled, they could inadvertently land the airplane with the landing gear not down and locked. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
