Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Requires owners/operators of Skyfox CA22A/25, CA25 and CA25N aeroplanes to inspect and test all aileron hanger rib extensions following Skyfox Service Bulletin No.24. Inspections must be done before the next flight after 2 August 2000 and then every 100 flight hours or 12 months, whichever is sooner. The CASA delegate issued the directive after a broken/deteriorated rib and an in‑flight aileron separation. Aircraft operators pay for inspections and any repairs and must follow the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain airworthiness.

Applicability: All CA22A/25, CA25 and CA25N 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.

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.
