Airworthiness Directive 2009-10-09
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company 150 and 152 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to revise AD 2009-10-09, which applies to Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 150 and 152 series airplanes. AD 2009-10-09 requires either installing a placard prohibiting spins and other acrobatic maneuvers in the airplane or replacing the rudder stop, the rudder stop bumper, and the attachment hardware with a new rudder stop modification kit and replacing the safety wire with jamnuts. Since we issued AD 2009-10-09, we became aware of a need to clarify certain model and serial number designations, remove the duplicate requirement of replacing the safety wire with jamnuts, and clarify the conditional acceptability of using modification kit part number (P/N) SK152-25 as a terminating action to this AD. Consequently, this AD retains the actions currently required in AD 2009-10-09, corrects model designation for certain serial numbers, removes the duplicate requirement of replacing safety wire with jamnuts, and clarifies the conditional acceptability of using modification kit P/N SK152-25 as a terminating action to this AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent the rudder from traveling past the normal travel limit. Operation in this non-certificated control position is unacceptable and could cause undesirable consequences, such as contact between the rudder and the elevator.
Which aircraft AD 2009-10-09 applies to
Serial ranges are per model: 150F 15061533-15064532; 150G 15064533-15064969 and 15064971-15067198; 150H 15067199-15069308 and 649; 150J 15069309-15071128; 150K 15071129-15072003; 150L 15072004-15075781; 150M 15075782-15079405; A150K A1500001-A1500226; A150L A1500227-A1500432 and A1500434-A1500523; A150M A1500524-A1500734 and 15064970; F150F F150-0001-F150-0067; F150G F150-0068-F150-0219; F150H F150-0220-F150-0389; F150J F150-0390-F150-0529; F150K F15000530-F15000658; F150L F15000659-F15001143; F150M F15001144-F15001428; FA150K FA1500001-FA1500081; FA150L FA1500082-FA1500120; FA150L or FRA150L FA1500121-FA1500261 (if equipped with kit P/N FKA150-2311 and FKA150-2316) or FRA1500121-FRA1500261; FA150M or FRA150M FA1500262-FA1500336 (if equipped with kit P/N FKA150-2311 and FKA150-2316) or FRA1500262-FRA1500336; 152 15279406-15286033; A152 A1520735-A1521049, A1500433, and 681; F152 F15201429-F15201980; FA152 FA1520337-FA1520425. This revision clarifies the applicability of AD 2009-10-09, eliminates a duplicate safety-wire/jamnut replacement requirement, and clarifies conditional acceptability of modification kit P/N SK152-25 as a terminating action; no further action required for those already in compliance with AD 2009-10-09.
Whether AD 2009-10-09 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:
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.
