Airworthiness Directives; Fairchild Aircraft Models SA226-AT and SA226-TC Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Fairchild Aircraft Models SA226-AT and SA226-TC airplanes. This action requires replacing the two lower aluminum cargo door receptacles with steel receptacles. A report of cargo door failure on one of the affected airplanes prompted this action. Fatigue of the two bottom cargo door receptacles caused the bottom third of the cargo door to bend outward and upward, causing damage to the fuselage door frame. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent decompression injuries and the cargo door from breaking off and striking the empennage or the elevator, which could cause substantial structural failure and loss of control of the airplane.

Whether AD 95-21673 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 95-21673 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.
