Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

Requires owners/operators of specific Tecnam P92/P96/P2002 serial-numbered aircraft to inspect the rudder pedal torque tube welds per Tecnam Service Bulletin P92-J/012 (Rev 1) and, if cracks, anomalies or missing welded gussets are found, remove the affected parts and forward them to Tecnam for repair. Compliance is required within three months of 30 August 2007; the Civil Aviation Safety Authority issued the directive after cracks were detected, so inspection and any repair costs and operational decisions fall to the aircraft operators.
