Full official abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to supersede emergency AD 2005-05-51 and AD 2000-23-01 for The Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 402C and 414A airplanes. This AD contains the same information as emergency AD 2005-05-52 and publishes the action in the Federal Register. It requires you to eddy current inspect the forward wing spars and visually inspect the aft and auxiliary spars. This AD is the result of extensive cracks found on three wing spars of the affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the wing spars before the cracks grow to failure. Such a wing failure could result in the wing separating from the airplane with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
