Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires all Skyfox CA21, CA22 and CA22A aeroplanes to have their aileron hanger rib extensions inspected and tested following Skyfox Service Bulletin No. 24. Inspections must be done before further flight after 2 August 2000 and then every 100 flight hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first. CASA (delegate) issued the directive; aircraft operators bear the inspection and repair costs. The measure responds to found failures of hanger ribs and aims to detect and correct structural defects.

Amdt 1

Aileron Hanger Ribs 9/2000 DM

Applicability: All CA21, CA22 and CA22A aircraft.

Requirement: Inspect and test all aileron hanger rib extensions in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Skyfox Aviation Ltd Service Bulletin No. 24, Initial Issue, dated 27 February 1998.

Compliance: Before further flight after 2 August 2000; thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first.

This Amendment becomes effective on 2 August 2000.

Background: During an unscheduled inspection, an aileron hanger rib extension was broken with little downward pressure. The purpose of this Directive was to check the structural integrity of all aircraft in-operation which may be similarly affected.

Amendment 1 is issued in response to a deteriorated aileron hanger rib found on a Skyfox CA25N aircraft that recently suffered an in-flight separation of the right hand aileron. This Directive requires further inspections of the aileron hanger ribs.

The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 3 March 1998.
