Airworthiness Directives; EXTRA Flugzeugbau GmbH Models EA-300 and EA-300S Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all EXTRA Flugzeugbau GmbH (EXTRA) Models EA-300 and EA-300S airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the rudder control cables to assure that correctly swaged Nicopress<SUP></SUP> type sleeves are installed at each end of the cables, and replacing any cable assembly where correctly swaged Nicopress<SUP></SUP> type sleeves are not installed. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a control cable from pulling through an incorrectly swaged sleeve, which could result in loss of rudder control with consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Specific model not stated in provided applicability text. Within next 100 hours TIS after effective date, inspect rudder control cables to assure correctly swaged Nicopress-type sleeves are installed at each end, per EXTRA SB No. 300-1-93 (Feb 9, 1993) and AC 43.13-1A. Prior to further flight, replace any cable assembly lacking correctly swaged sleeves. Prevents a control cable pulling through an incorrectly swaged sleeve, causing loss of rudder control.

Whether AD 98-09-10 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 98-09-10 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.
