Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Owners/operators of Cessna A150/152, FA150/152 and FRA150/152 aeroplanes must have the forward horizontal‑stabiliser attachment area visually inspected for nutplate or structure cracking when gaining access, with that check performed at the next Maintenance Release after 31 Dec 1985 and thereafter at each Maintenance Release.

This aligns the AD with routine periodic inspections, shifts inspection timing to the operator/maintenance provider, and aims to detect cracking early—owners bear inspection and repair costs while technicians decide access and remedial actions.
