Summary
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would revise an existing AD. 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:
There have been several occurrences of cracked elevator trim tab balance weight attachment brackets. On one occasion, the elevator trim tab mass balance weight bracket separated from the aircraft. The loss of an elevator trim tab mass balance weight bracket has the potential to cause damage to an aircraft, or cause serious injury to personnel. * * *
* * * * * The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
