Airworthiness Directive 2002-19-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; SOCATA-Groupe AEROSPATIALE Model TBM 700 Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires you to perform a test on the flight control system and adjust the control roll stop if jamming occurs during the test. 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 prevent the flight control wheels from traveling beyond normal roll control limits, which could result in the control wheel becoming jammed. Such a condition could lead to reduced or loss of control of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 2002-19-01 applies to
Specific serial/registration applicability (paragraph (a)) not present in retrieved text. Actions per Socata TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-095-27, dated November 2001; special flight permits restricted to no-passenger ferry flights.
Whether AD 2002-19-01 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:
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.
