Airworthiness Directive 01-15210
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model CN-235 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain CASA Model CN- 235 series airplanes, that requires modification of the rigging of the engine control cable assembly and replacement of either the entire engine control cable assembly or a segment of the control cables. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information issued by a foreign airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue of the engine control cables, leading to breakage of the cables, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
Which aircraft AD 01-15210 applies to

Whether AD 01-15210 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
