FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 Series Airplanes

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would require repetitive inspections and replacements of pitch trim actuators on Fairchild Aircraft's SA226 and SA227 series airplanes, due to concerns about excessive freeplay and rod slippage, which could lead to loss of control.
