Resumo da Diretiva
A FAA está revogando a Diretiva de Aeronavegabilidade (DA) 64-09-03, que se aplicava a todos os aviões de Havilland (certificado de tipo atualmente mantido pela Viking Air Limited (Viking)) modelo DHC-2 "Beaver". A DA 64-09-03 exigia a inspeção dos braços de contrapeso dos ailerons quanto a trincas e corrosão e a substituição de qualquer peça danificada. Desde que a FAA emitiu a DA 64-09-03, a Transport Canada revogou suas informações obrigatórias de aeronavegabilidade continuada (MCAI) para corrigir uma condição perigosa nestes produtos. Esta DA exige a incorporação, nos registros de manutenção existentes da sua aeronave, das ações e limiares e intervalos associados, incluindo limites de vida útil, especificados em um manual suplementar de inspeção e controle de corrosão para aviões modelo DHC-2. Esta DA também exige a conclusão de todas as tarefas iniciais identificadas neste manual e a comunicação de certos achados de corrosão à Viking. As ações no manual suplementar de inspeção e controle de corrosão incluem a inspeção dos braços de contrapeso dos ailerons exigida pela DA 64-09-03. A FAA está emitindo esta DA para corrigir a condição perigosa nestes produtos.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 64-09-03, which applied to all de Havilland (type certificate now held by Viking Air Limited (Viking)) Model DHC-2 "Beaver" airplanes. AD 64-09-03 required inspecting the aileron mass balance weight arms for cracks and corrosion and replacing any damaged part. Since the FAA issued AD 64- 09-03, Transport Canada superseded its mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) to correct an unsafe condition on these products. This AD requires incorporating into the existing maintenance records for your airplane the actions and associated thresholds and intervals, including life limits, specified in a supplemental inspection and corrosion control manual for Model DHC-2 airplanes. This AD also requires completing all of the initial tasks identified in this manual and reporting certain corrosion findings to Viking. The actions in this supplemental inspection and corrosion control manual include the inspection of the aileron balance weight arms required by AD 64-09-03. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.Texto Completo da Diretiva
