| Background: | The existing steel ball bearings in the aileron override quadrant mechanism are subject to corrosion. In the event of other than normal conditions occurring in the primary aileron control path corroded steel balls bearings in the override quadrant may disable the secondary control path that could lead to a subsequent reduction in lateral controllability of the aeroplane. This Directive therefore requires the replacement of the aileron control quadrant with a modified assembly containing Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRES) ball bearings. |
