Full official abstract

This amendment revises Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-12-03 R1, which applies to Aviat Aircraft, Inc. (Aviat) Models S-1S, S-1T, S- 2, S-2A, S-2S, and S-2B airplanes that are equipped with aft lower fuselage wing attach fittings incorporating part number (P/N) 76090, P/ N 2-2107-1, or P/N 1-210-102. AD 96-12-03 R1 currently requires repetitively inspecting the aft lower fuselage wing attach fitting on both wings for cracks, and modifying any cracked aft lower fuselage wing attach fitting. Modifying both aft lower fuselage wing attach fittings eliminates the repetitive inspection requirement of AD 96-12- 03. Aviat started incorporating modified aft lower fuselage wing attach fittings on newly manufactured airplanes beginning with serial number 5337, instead of 5349 as referenced in the existing AD. This AD retains the repetitive inspection and possible modification requirements of AD 96-12-03 R1, and will change the applicability accordingly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent possible in-flight separation of the wing from the airplane caused by a cracked fuselage wing attach fitting.
