Unsafe Condition

Failures of the front attaching tube of the horizontal stabilizer due to cracks in the area where the tube attaches to the fuselage carry through member and around the horizontal tail fixed handle area where the tube has been bent back to provide sweepback.

AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect for cracks in the front attaching tube of the horizontal stabilizer using magnetic particle inspection after cleaning the area. If cracks are found, install a new stabilizer or an FAA-approved repair, then reinspect at intervals not exceeding 100 flight hours. If no cracks, reinstall and reinspect at intervals not exceeding 100 flight hours. Alternatively, install CallAir Service Kit No. 10 with a new or repaired stabilizer to eliminate further inspections.

64-02-03 CALLAIR: Amdt. 672 Part 507 Federal Register January 17, 1964. Applies to All Models A-5 and A-6 Aircraft.

Compliance required as indicated.

As a result of several failures of the front attaching tube of the horizontal stabilizer, accomplish the following:

(a) Within 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD check for cracks as follows:

(1) Remove the horizontal stabilizers from the airplane and thoroughly clean the leading edge tube of the horizontal stabilizer by removing all paint, rust, and foreign materials. Check for cracks in the area where the tube attaches to the fuselage carry through member and also around the horizontal tail fixed handle area where the tube has been bent back to provide sweepback.

(2) Inspect for cracks using the magnetic particle inspection process.

(b) If cracks are found, either install a new stabilizer or make an FAA approved repair. Thereafter reinspect the stabilizer at intervals not to exceed 100 hours' time in service.

(c) If no cracks are found, reinstall stabilizers and reinspect at intervals not to exceed 100 hours' time in service.

(d) CallAir Service Kit No. 10 provides a suitable reinforcement of the empennage by the installation of additional brace wires to the forward portion of the tail surfaces. No further periodic inspections are required if CallAir Service Kit No. 10 is installed with a new or repaired horizontal stabilizer.

(CallAir Service Bulletin No. 10 covers this same subject.)
