Airworthiness Directive 98-10595

AD 98-10595 · 1998-04-24 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; Avions Pierre Robin Model R3000/160 Airplanes.

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Avions Pierre Robin (Avions) Model R3000/160 airplanes. This action requires repetitively inspecting the flap control shaft and the welds of the flap levers for cracks; replacing the cracked part, if cracks are found; and adjusting the flap travel, if no cracks are found. Reports of cracked flap control shafts found during routine maintenance prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracks on the flap control shaft and around the welds of the flap levers, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in loss of airplane control during flight.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 98-10595 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 98-10595 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.
