Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD mandates repetitive inspections for cracking of the stub wing leading‑edge tube at the landing‑gear attachment on all Transavia PL‑12 series aeroplanes. An initial check was required within 100 hours TIS after 14 February 1969 and must be repeated every 100 hours thereafter. Owners/operators fund the inspections and repairs; maintenance organisations must select appropriate inspection methods. Compliance is mandatory and creates recurring downtime and cost in exchange for earlier crack detection.
