Airworthiness Directives; Bellanca, Incorporated Models 17-30, 17-30A, 17-31, 17-31A, 17-31TC, and 17-31ATC Airplanes

الملخص

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to Bellanca, Incorporated (Bellanca) Models 17-30, 17-30A, 17- 31, 17-31A, 17-31TC, and 17-31ATC airplanes. This action requires repetitively inspecting, testing, and possibly replacing the nose landing gear (NLG) strut and brackets. A collapse of a Bellanca airplane's NLG during a landing prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent possible failure of the nose landing gear, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of control of the airplane during landing operations.
