61-14-04 CONVAIR: Amdt. 302 Part 507 Federal Register July 7, 1961. Applies to All Model 22 (880) Series Aircraft.

Compliance required as indicated.

One instance has been reported where the rivets attaching the forward rod end P/N 22- 04442-1, to the rudder flight tab rod P/N 22-46257, were not installed. This resulted in the rod end P/N 22-04442-1, becoming separated from the tab rod P/N 22-46257, with ensuing loss of the rudder flight tab control. The effects of this malfunction on operational safety is such as to require accomplishment of the following:

(a) Prior to further flight unless already accomplished in accordance with Convair Alert Service Bulletin 27-40 dated June 14, 1961, inspect rod P/N 22-46257 and rod end P/N 22- 04442-1 to insure that they are attached by two AN 435 MC rivets per Convair Drawing 22- 46257.

(b) If the rivets in paragraph (a) are not installed, rod end P/N 22-04442-1 shall be attached to rod end P/N 22-46257 per Convair Alert Service Bulletin 27-40 dated June 14, 1961, or FAA approved equivalent, prior to further flight.

(c) Rod end assemblies attached with NAS 464-3 bolts must be replaced within 250 hours' time in service on bolt by parts complying with Convair Drawing 22-46257.

(Convair Alert Service Bulletin 27-40 covers this same subject.)

This directive becomes effective upon publication in the Federal Register for all persons except those to whom it was made effective immediately by telegram dated June 16, 1961.
