AD 98-12-14 63 FR 31107

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain AERMACCHI S.p.A. (AERMACCHI) S.205 series and Models S.208 and S.208A airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the flap cable pulley bracket for correct alignment and correcting any misalignment; inspecting the flap control cable for wear (nicks, cuts, frays, etc.), and replacing the flap control pulley bracket and flap control cable if worn. 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 flap control failure, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
