Unsafe Condition
Discrepancies of the elevator tab control rod assemblies, such as loose jam nuts and/or thread wear at the rod ends, could result in excessive freeplay in the elevator tab control rods. Such freeplay could cause loss of both load paths, subsequent elevator tab flutter, and consequent reduced structural integrity and loss of controllability of the airplane.
