## Summary

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Bellanca, Incorporated (Bellanca) Models 17-30, 17-30A, 17-31, 17-31A, 17-31TC, and 17-31ATC airplanes. The proposed action would require repetitively inspecting, testing, and possibly replacing the nose landing gear (NLG) strut and brackets. A collapse of a Bellanca airplane's NLG during a landing prompted the proposed AD action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent possible failure of the nose landing gear, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
