Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This amendment requires owners/operators of Cessna 188 (Agwagon) aeroplanes (serials 188‑0001 to 18801348) to comply with FAA AD 73‑16‑02: inspect aileron control cables, re‑route or fit centreline idler pulleys and install service kits where premature wear is found, and replace cables according to the AD. It takes effect 12 March 2009. Owners/operators pay for inspections, kits and replacements; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority enforces compliance. The change aligns Australian inspection intervals and replacement limits with the FAA because cables have been found to wear before the prior 500‑hour limit.

Cessna 188 (Agwagon) Series Aeroplanes

AD/CESSNA 188/20 Amdt 2	Aileron Control Cables	3/2009

Applicability:	Model 188 series aeroplanes with serial numbers 188-0001 through 18801348.
Requirement:	Action in accordance with the technical requirements of FAA AD 73-16-02.Note: Cessna Service bulletins SE72-1, SE73-12 and SE 73-33 refer.
Compliance:	As specified in the requirement document unless previously accomplished.
	This Amendment becomes effective on 12 March 2009.
Background:	Aileron system design improvements were introduced to reduce Agwagon aileron cable wear. This involved re-routing of cables and/or installation of centreline idler pulleys on certain aeroplanes. The routine inspections call for the installation of Service Kits to modify the system if premature wear is experienced at fuselage fairlead locations. Time intervals for inspections and replacement of cables were established to ensure integrity of the lateral control system.This amendment aligns the AD requirements and time limits for inspections and cable replacement with that of the FAA AD. Aileron cables are expected to wear beyond limits before the reaching the mandatory 500 hour life limit.
