Airworthiness Directive E9-3261
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A. (CASA), Model C-212-DF Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CASA Model C-212-DF airplanes. This AD requires a one-time conductivity inspection to determine the material used in manufacturing outer to center wing attachment fittings; and one-time inspections to detect cracks on affected fittings, and corrective action if necessary. This AD results from reports of cracks found in outer to center wing attachment fittings. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks on the upper and lower fittings in both outer and center wings, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD E9-3261 applies to
certain
Whether AD E9-3261 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.
