Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) TBM 700 airplanes. This action requires installing four rivets on the right side of the rudder and drilling drainage holes at the areas of the elevators and rudder. Reports of water accumulating in the areas of the elevators and rudder and a report of a bonding defect between the skin and rudder rear spar on the affected airplanes prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the wing skin and the rear spar from becoming unbonded or water accumulating in either the elevators or rudder, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
