| Background: | The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has advised that a CAP10B aircraft experienced a reduced elevator deflection by about 13° due to an incorrect routing of the Push To Talk (PTT) wire bundle and improperly secured connectors which impeded the complete and free movement of the control stick.This Directive requires an inspection to detect any discrepancies of the PTT electrical circuit connectors and wires that could lead to a reduction of the control stick movements and, if necessary, correction of the discrepancies. |
