Full official abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all SOCATA--Groupe Aerospatiale (SOCATA) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the left-hand and right-hand outboard hinge fittings of the horizontal stabilizer for cracks, and replacing any cracked fitting. 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 structural damage to the stabilizer caused by outboard hinge fitting cracks, which could result in uncontrolled flight if the hinges break.
