Full official abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA Groupe Aerospatiale (SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the elevator trim tab fittings for cracks, and replacing any elevator trim tab found to have cracks. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracks in the elevator trim tab fittings, which could result in separation of the elevator trim tab and loss of control of the airplane.
