Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD makes Pilatus Britten‑Norman BN‑2 tailplane inspections and any required repairs mandatory by converting Service Bulletin BN‑2/SB.131 Issue 2 into a regulatory requirement. It affects all BN‑2 owners/operators and the maintenance organisations that must carry out the work, imposing an initial inspection window and recurring checks to address reported deterioration of tailplane riveting and ribs. Expect inspection costs, possible repairs and associated aircraft downtime.
