Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all AERMACCI S.p.A. Models S.208 and S.208A airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the landing gear rod springs to assure they are made with a wire diameter of 4.5 millimeters (mm), and replacing any that have a wire diameter of 4.0 mm. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Italy. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the landing gear caused by an insufficient wire diameter of the rod springs, which could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
