Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates an inspection of the aileron control cables (the wires that connect the pilot’s control wheel to the hinged flaps on the wings that make the aircraft turn) on specific Fairchild Swearingen aircraft.

Who it affects Owners and operators of the following aircraft models with these specific serial numbers:

SA-226-T(B) models (Serial Nos. T(B)292 to T(B)329)
SA-226AT models (Serial Nos. AT067 to AT074)
SA-226TC models (Serial Nos. TC256 to TC325)

Why it matters The aileron control cable may have been incorrectly routed inside the pilot’s control column. If misrouted, the pilot might lose proper control of the aircraft during flight, creating a serious safety risk.

What you must do Inspect the cable installation in accordance with the technical instructions contained in Swearingen Alert Service Bulletin No. A27-025.
