## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all EXTRA Flugzeugbau GmbH (EXTRA) Models EA-300 and EA-300S airplanes. This AD requires inspecting the rudder control cables to assure that correctly swaged Nicopress<SUP></SUP> type sleeves are installed at each end of the cables, and replacing any cable assembly where correctly swaged Nicopress<SUP></SUP> type sleeves are not installed. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Germany. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a control cable from pulling through an incorrectly swaged sleeve, which could result in loss of rudder control with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
