Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates an inspection of the elevator inboard hinge brackets on all Cessna 750 (Citation X) series aircraft.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Cessna 750 (Citation X) business jets registered in Australia.

Why it matters: The directive responds to reports of cracking in these hinge brackets. If left unchecked, this cracking could lead to structural failure of the elevator (the control surface that makes the plane climb or dive), potentially causing loss of control.

What must be done: Operators must follow the technical inspection procedures outlined in FAA Airworthiness Directive 2006-23-05. This involves checking the specified brackets for cracks and taking any necessary remedial action as detailed in that referenced document.
