The options considered by the FAA included: Mandated complia nce by initiation of an FAA Airworthiness Directive (AD), various forms of notices, or no further action required. Owners/operators of SOCATA TB series airplanes s hould also note that there have been Airworthiness Directives issued against these airplanes concerning other safety issues. Recommendations: The service bulletins identified in this document were not considered appropriate for AD action at this time, however, the FAA strongly suggests that all owners/operators of the SOCATA TB series airplanes review their compliance with the service bulletins listed below.
