This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of the listed Boeing 727 series aeroplanes to perform the inspections and any corrective actions described in FAA AD 2006-13-16 and the referenced Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 727-27-0234. It addresses freeplay-induced vibration of outboard aileron balance tabs and rudder tabs because, if uncorrected, that vibration can progress to divergent flutter and possible loss of control.
