Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam S.p.A. (Tecnam) Model P2006T airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of partial detachment of the left aileron due to a missing hinge pin. This AD requires a one- time detailed visual inspection of the affected aileron hinges for damage (cracks, warping of the hinges or hinge pin, scratched paint, missing or broken torque stripe, etc.) and cotter pins for improper installation and, depending on the findings, applicable corrective action. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
