Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA Airplanes

June 18, 2012 - 77 FR 36125 - RIN: 2120-AA64 - Download Full Notice: Text | PDF

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for SOCATA Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as installation of an incorrect part number during overhaul of the nose landing gear. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This rule is final. Its effective date is July 23, 2012.
