Applies to All Models 22, 22M, 30 and 30A Aircraft. Compliance required as indicated. To prevent slipping of the aileron trim tab dial assembly in relation to the cable drum within the aileron and rudder trim gearbox assembly; to insure that the gear teeth on the aileron trim tab dial gear are not damaged; and to ascertain that the inside rim of the aileron trim tab dial gear is not rubbing against the sides of the hub of the aileron and rudder trim gear box, accomplish the following: (a) Within 500 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 hours' time in service from the last check, perform an operational check (see Maintenance Manual) to determine that the aileron trim tab dial indicator and the aileron trim tab deflections correspond throughout the operational range and that the aileron trim tab control knob and dial work properly without evidence of binding or slippage. If there is any evidence that the aileron trim tab dial indicator and the aileron trim tab deflections do not correspond throughout the operational range or if there is any evidence of binding or slippage in the operation of the aileron trim tab control knob and dial, rework the aircraft per (b)(1) and (b)(2) before further flight. After compliance with paragraph (b) the checks required by this paragraph may be discontinued. (b) Within 1,500 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD unless the modification has already been accomplished: (1) Pin the aileron trim drum shaft to the shaft gear and the aileron trim tab dial to the aileron trim tab gear per General Dynamics/Convair 880 Service Bulletin No. 27-27, 880M Service Bulletin No. 27-34, or 990 Service Bulletin No. 27-52, as applicable, or an FAA Western Region Engineering and Manufacturing Branch approved equivalent. (2) Conduct a visual inspection of the aileron trim tab dial gear and hub of the support within the aileron and rudder trim gearbox assembly and if there is any evidence that the gear teeth on the aileron trim tab dial gear are damaged or there is any evidence that the inside of the rim of the aileron trim tab dial gear is rubbing the hub of the support, rework the hub of the support and replace any damaged aileron trim tab dial gear with a new gear in accordance with General Dynamics/Convair 880 Service Bulletin No. 27-70, 880M Service Bulletin No. 27-37 or 990 Service Bulletin No. 27-62, as applicable, or an FAA Western Region Engineering and Manufacturing Branch approved equivalent.
