Résumé
This document proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-23-19, which currently requires installing a new flap actuator overtravel stop and a roll pin through the overtravel stop and jack screw on certain Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-300, AT-400, and AT-500 series airplanes. The proposed AD would require replacing the existing flap actuator overtravel stop with a new one of improved design. The proposed AD is the result of reports of the jack screw breaking through the roll pin hole on three of the affected airplanes that were already in compliance with AD 96-23-19. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent interference between the flap pushrod and the aileron pushrod caused by the flap actuator overtravel nut disengaging, which could result in loss of aileron control.
