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) 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:
Based on in-service experience, the System Safety Analyses for the Flight Controls have been reviewed and their conclusions have been accepted during the latest Candidate Maintenance Coordination Committee meeting.
This review resulted in reduced inspection intervals, specifically for the flight controls tab-to-actuator linkage [certification maintenance requirements] CMR** repetitive inspections, which have been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness.
Failure of these components or their constituent parts could lead to reduced control of the aeroplane.

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