AD 97-23-05 62 FR 60161

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Avions Pierre Robin Model R3000 airplanes. This AD requires replacing the attachment bolt between the pitch control cables and control column lever with a bolt of improved design. This AD is the result of mandatory continued airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the pitch control cables on the control column from becoming jammed due to failure of the attachment bolt, which could result in a reduction in the directional controllability of the airplane.
