Mechanically, this directive requires owners/operators of EADS SOCATA TBM 700 aeroplanes (serial numbers 1–304) to have the elevator trim actuator greased in accordance with EADS SOCATA Service Bulletin TBM 700 No SB 70-124 (Nov 2004). The stated purpose is to reduce the risk of elevator trim icing. Owners/operators must complete the greasing at the next scheduled inspection or by 14 May 2005 (whichever comes first); the cost and scheduling of the maintenance fall to them and compliance is overseen by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
