Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Maule Aerospace Technology (Maule) M-4, M-5, M-6, M- 7, MX-7, MXT-7 series and Models MT-7-235, and M-8-235 airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of certain wing lift struts for internal corrosion and replacement of the struts if corrosion is detected. An accident involving a wing separating from a Maule airplane in flight prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent corrosion of the wing lift strut, which, if not detected and corrected, could cause the wing to separate from the airplane.
