Airworthiness Directives; SOCATAGroupe AEROSPATIALE Model TBM 700 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain SOCATA--Groupe AEROSPATIALE (Socata) Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD requires modifying the airplane's left-hand (LH) front side lower panel. 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 interference between the side trim of the LH front side lower panel and the roll control compass on the LH wheel assembly, which could result in loss of directional control of the airplane.

Which aircraft AD 98-08-27 applies to

MakesSocata

Specific model not stated in provided applicability text. Modify the LH front side lower panel per part 'B. MODIFICATION' of SOCATA SB No. SB 70-061-25 (June 1995); this AD's instructions take precedence over part 'A. CHECK' of the same SB. Prevents interference between the side trim of the LH side lower panel and the roll control compass on the LH wheel assembly, which could cause loss of directional control.

Whether AD 98-08-27 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 98-08-27 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.
