Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA-Groupe AEROSPATIALE Model TBM 700 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2001- 05-03, which applies to certain SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. AD 2001-05-03 currently requires you to apply Loctite on attaching bolt/screw threads of inboard, central, and outboard carriages; increase tightening torques of associated hardware; and replace central carriage attaching bolts. The French airworthiness authority has determined that certain service information referenced in AD 2001-05-03 be removed and additional inspection of the flap carriage attaching bolts, screws, and barrel nut be included. Therefore, this AD will retain the requirements of the current AD and will add the information communicated by the French airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the flap attaching bolts/screws from becoming loose and separating from the airplane, which could cause rough or irregular control. Such rough or irregular control could lead to the loss of control of the airplane.

Applicability text captured here is boilerplate only (model/serial list not present in this excerpt). This AD supersedes AD 2001-05-03, Amendment 39-12139, and requires compliance with Socata Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-087-57, Amendment 1, dated November 2000.

Whether AD 2002-09-11 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 2002-09-11 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.
