What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 96-23- 19, which currently requires installing a new flap actuator overtravel stop and a roll pin through the overtravel stop and jack screw on certain Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-300, AT-400, and AT- 500 series airplanes. This AD requires replacing the existing flap actuator overtravel stop with a new one of improved design. This AD is the result of reports of the jack screw breaking through the roll pin hole on three of the affected airplanes that were already in compliance with AD 96-23-19. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent interference between the flap pushrod and the aileron pushrod caused by the flap actuator overtravel nut disengaging, which could result in loss of aileron control.

Whether AD 98-32046 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.

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.
