Airworthiness Directives; Reims Aviation S.A. Model F406 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Reims Aviation S.A. (Reims) Model F406 airplanes. This AD requires you to repetitively inspect the canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area for cracks, and, if cracks are found, immediately repair the cracks or modify this area depending on the extent of any cracks found. This AD also requires you to modify the canted rib upper cap at a certain time period as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct cracks in the canted rib upper cap in the center wing carry-through area, which could result in structural failure of the wing with possible loss of control of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Which aircraft AD 2001-01-07 applies to

MakesReims/Cessna

Applies to specific airplane(s) identified in AD paragraph (a); model/serial detail is not present in the extracted applicability text. Compliance required per REIMS/CESSNA Service Bulletin CAB98-16, dated November 2, 1998.

Whether AD 2001-01-07 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

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
Date — When the work was done.
Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2001-01-07 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
