| Background: | The manufacturer received reports of cracking of the weld securing the nose wheel steering bracket to the nose landing gear leg.This Directive was issued in response to the related NZ CAA Directive which was issued as a result of Alpha Aviation becoming the Type Certificate holder for Model HR 200 and Model R 2000 series aircraft. The requirements of this Directive were previously contained in AD/ROBIN/7 Amdt 2.Amendment 1 of this AD has been raised as a result of EASA cancelling DGAC AD F-1983-206(A)R3 and issuing EASA AD 2010-0231. This amendment removes reference to being applicable to Model HR 200/100, HR 200/100S, HR 200/120, HR 200/120B, and HR 200/160 aircraft, serial numbers 001 through 378, which are now covered by EASA AD 2010-0231. |
