## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

Some cases of turnbuckle adjusting screws fatigue failure have occurred, due to lateral load component applied by pilot's foot. Such events may lead to rudder and pedals disconnection.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
