## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for REIMS AVIATION S.A. Model F406 airplanes. 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 fretting (wear and/or chafing) found between the elevator pushrod assembly and horizontal tail structure, which could cause the elevator pushrod to jam and could result in loss of control. We are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
