Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does This Airworthiness Directive requires owners of specific Fairchild Swearingen aircraft to inspect and modify the aileron tab — a small hinged surface on the back of the wing that helps control the plane's turning. The work must be carried out according to the manufacturer's Service Bulletin 27-10-3046.

Who it affects This applies only to specific aircraft identified by serial number:

SA226TC models with serial numbers TC-201 to TC-207
SA226T models with serial numbers T-201 to T-238
SA226AT models with serial numbers AT-001 to AT-009

Compliance requirement The inspection and modification must be completed within 100 hours of flight time after 31 December 1973.

Why it matters The directive addresses potential safety defects in the aileron control system to prevent possible structural failure or loss of aircraft control during flight.
