Cessna Aircraft Company Models 402C and 414A Airplanes: Airworthiness Directive Amendment

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an amendment to Airworthiness Directive 85-13-03 R2, which requires Cessna Models 402C and 414A airplane owners to inspect engine mount beams for cracks and replace any damaged beams. The new directive eliminates the need for repetitive inspections by incorporating engine mount kits, aiming to prevent engine failure due to fatigue cracks.
