Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive requires operators of Reims Aviation F406 aircraft (serials 0001–0092) to inspect aileron brackets, lubricate aileron bearings following Reims Service Bulletin F406‑59 (or later DGAC‑approved revisions), and insert Temporary Revision No 6 into the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. Compliance is required within 100 flight hours or 3 months. The DGAC reported bearing corrosion that could lead to loss of roll control; operators pay for inspections, lubrication and AMM updates and must schedule this work to remain airworthy.
