## Summary

The FAA proposes to revise Airworthiness Directive (AD) 95-19- 15, which applies to all Tiger Aircraft LLC (Type Certificate A16EH formerly held by American General Aircraft Corporation and Grumman American Aviation Corporation) Models AA-5, AA-5A, AA-5B, and AG-5B airplanes. AD 95-19-15 currently requires you to inspect the wing attach shoulder bolts for fretting, scoring, wear, or enlarged or elongated mounting holes (known as damage from hereon); replace any damaged parts; repair any damaged areas; inspect the wing spar at the center spar clearance gap for excessive clearance; and shim the spar if excessive clearance is found. Since we issued AD 95-19-15, FAA has received and evaluated new service information that limits the serial numbers for the Model AG-5B airplanes of AD 95-19-15. Consequently, this proposed AD retains all the actions of AD 95-19-15 and includes the serial numbers for the Model AG-5B airplanes in the applicability section. We are issuing this proposed AD to prevent wing attach shoulder bolt failure, which, if not detected and corrected, could lead to structural damage of the wing/fuselage to the point of failure.
