AD 95-24-11 60 FR 58208 Active

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 series airplanes. This action requires installing foreign object damage (FOD) barriers in the floorboards of the cockpit between the pedestal and floor from Fuselage Station (FS) 79.38 to FS 88.06 and on the outboard forward edge of the left-hand and right-hand cockpit forward floorboards at FS 79.38. Two incidents of objects falling through openings in the cockpit floor and jamming the elevator controls and the yoke prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent airplane flight control jammings caused by objects falling through the cockpit floor openings.
