## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above that would supersede 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:

In early 2005, several reports had been received regarding discovery of cracks in rudder pulley brackets installed on Reims F406 aeroplanes. This pulley bracket, Part Number (P/N) 6015511-1, is installed on aeroplanes with the optional "Camera Hole'' modification.

This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in the loss of rudder control on the airplane.

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