Mod. D007_ed_4 
C. REASON 
During a scheduled maintenance of a P180 Avanti airplane, an occurrence was reported 
of finding stress corrosion crackings on the fitting assembly of the Horizontal T ail Trim 
Actuator (HTTA). This type of problem, being mainly due to corrosion, is more likely to 
occur on older aircraft, usually parked outdoors, based and operated in environments of 
high humidity and/or frequent heavy precipitations and/or near the seaside and therefore 
exposed to a salty environment, when it is not properly preserved. 
This condition, if not properly addressed, could result in the inability of the structural 
element to sustain the limit load which could consequently reduce the control of the 
airplane. 
This MSB gives the instructions for an NDT inspection to be performed on the f itting 
assembly to verify its good condition in terms of absence of corrosion and/or damage  
and for reporting to PAI the check outcome. The SB also provides instruction about the 
management of the airplanes where the presence of corrosion/damage is determined. 
Aviation Authority action is expected. 
Revision history: 
► Revision 1 (dated December 20th, 2022) was issued to complete the compliance with 
Avanti II aircraft to be delivered/certified and add clarifications in the accomplishment 
instructions and material information. 
► Revision 2 (dated May 15 th, 2023) was issued to update the Effectivity;  update the 
compliance with the addition of a terminating action; detail the Manpower; update the 
References with the addition of the new Temporary Revisions to SRM and NDTM;  
add a minor clarification in the Accomplishment Ins tructions for the use of  a flexible 
probe for Eddy Current inspection;  update the Accomplishment Instructions with the 
addition of repetitive inspections, corrective actions and other minor clarifications and
make minor changes in the document. 
D. DESCRIPTION 
General 
This MSB consists of the following: 
PART A 
(i) access to the inspection areas including, but not limited to, removal of the 
Horizontal Tail Trim Actuator (HTTA);

B. PROCEDURE/MODIFICATION 
PART A 
(10) Find the HTTA fitting assembly P/N 80-363283-401 (1, Figure 1). 
(11) In order to ease the NDT inspection , removal of the upper closure rib P/N 80 -363263-
401 or P/N 80-363263-403 (2, Figure 1) is required, unless a flexible/orientable probe is 
available and the conditions listed under NOTE 8 are satisfied . For fasteners removal, 
refer to AMM chap. 51-43-00. 
NOTE 8: the use of a flexible/orientable probe for E ddy Current inspection  on the 
forward end of the fitting is allowed, provided the NDT inspector is able to 
ensure the same level of reliability and accuracy of the check with respect 
to a standard probe. The proper contact of the probe over all the areas to 
be inspected shall be guaranteed (simultaneous use of a bor escope is 
suggested), and the probe calibration shall be performed under the same 
conditions of the actual check. 
(12) Make sure that the inspection areas of the fitting assembly are clean and free from paint 
and runs and used sealant. If necessary, clean the inspection areas and make sure they 
are dry before you continue.

NOTE 9: operators may contact local NDT providers for tooling availability and 
inspection accomplishment. Eddy current is to be performed by a 
technician certified by either SNT−TC−1A or NAS-410 in eddy current and 
active in eddy current inspection within the last 12 months. Additionally, it 
is highly recommended that the NDT provider knows the instrument and 
material specification and parameters setup as per PAI NDTM, when 
applicable. 
(13) Do a High Frequency Eddy Current (HFCE) inspection for corrosion and/or damage at 
the following areas (refer also to Figure 3): 
(13a) around the 14 attaching fastener heads (1, Figure 2); 
(13b) around the bu shing P/N 80 -363259-001 on both sides of the lug (2 and 3 , 
Figure 2 and 4, Figure 3); 
(13c) around the sleeve bushing P/N MS14238C10P028 on both sides of the lug (4 
and 5, Figure 2 and 5, Figure 3); 
(13d) the fillet radii (6a and 6d, Figure 2) of the supports P/N 80 -363285-001 ( 7, 
Figure 2 and 2, Figure 3) and P/N 80-363285-002 (8, Figure 2 and 3, Figure 3) 
and the fillet radii (6b and 6c, Figure 2) of the support P/N 80-363284-001 (9, 
Figure 2 and 1, Figure 3). 
(14) Acceptable corrosion (hereinafter referred to as “light corrosion”)  limits are: depth 0.15 
mm and extension 1 in2 (645.2 mm2) maximum. Clean the affected area, carefully polish 
out light surface corrosion and make sure that all the corrosion is removed (refer to SRM 
chap. 51-10-50). Restore the protective treatment and the topcoat in accordance with 
SRM chap. 51-20-20 and chap. 51-20-30 as applicable. 
(15) Proceed with Part B for further actions based on inspection findings. 
PART B 
(16) Following the inspection defined in step (1 3) and the acceptable findings as per step 
(14), if any corrosion 1 and/or damage/crack is detected, fill out the Failure Report form 
(in accordance with PAI SL no. 80 -0097) including the location and a preliminary 
corrosion/damage assessment and report to Piaggio Aerospace - Product Support 
Department (refer to §1.H.). 
[ 1 light corrosion reporting is required in any case ] 
(17) On the basis of the inspection findings, the following actions shall be undertaken:
