Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of specific Cessna 402, 414, and 421 aircraft (listed serial ranges) to inspect the main landing gear trunnion for cracks. Inspect at 300 hours time-in-service and repeat every 50 hours until a permanent corrective modification is installed. It’s required because undetected trunnion cracks can lead to landing gear collapse during takeoff or landing.
