## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated 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:

During production testing of a batch of control cables, cracks inside the cable terminal were detected. Despite the specified strength at the date of delivery was achieved, it can not be excluded that the mechanical properties of the cable will degrade.

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