Applies to Model BAC 1-11 200 and 400 Series Airplanes. Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished. To detect cracks in the fin top actuator fitting P/N AB 21A 1009 (pre modification PM 378) for 200 Series airplanes and P/N AK 21A 6283 (post modification PM 378) for 400 Series airplanes, accomplish the following: (a) Within 6,000 landings, or for aircraft which have exceeded 5,800 landings, within 200 landings after the effective date of this AD, visually inspect the actuator fitting P/N AB 21A 1009 or P/N AK 21A 6283 as appropriate, for cracks in accordance with BAC 1-11 Alert Service Bulletin 55-A-PM 2707, Issue 1, dated November 16, 1966, or later ARB-approved issue. (b) Repeat the visual inspections of (a) at intervals not exceeding 600 hours' time in service for aircraft which have no cracks, and at intervals of 100 hours' time in service for aircraft which have cracks that do not exceed either 0.30" for item (1), or 0.45" for item (2) of Figure 1, specified in BAC 1-11 Alert Service Bulletin 55-A-PM 2707, dated November 16, 1966, or later ARB-approved issue. (c) Actuator fittings which have cracks which exceed the acceptable limitations defined in BAC 1-11 Alert Service Bulletin 55-A-PM 2707 are unserviceable and must be replaced before further flight, in accordance with BAC 1-11 Service Bulletin 55-PM 2707, dated October 18, 1966, or later ARB-approved issue, or FAA-approved equivalent. (d) Within 10,000 landings after the effective date of this AD, modify actuator fittings P/N AB 21A 1009 or P/N AK 21A 6283, in accordance with BAC 1-11 Service Bulletin 55-PM 2707, dated October 18, 1966, or later ARB-approved issue or an equivalent approved by the Chief, Aircraft Certification Staff, Europe, Africa, Middle East Region. (e) The repetitive inspections required by (a) and (b) of this AD may be discontinued after the actuator fittings are modified in accordance with (c) or (d) of this AD. (f) For the purpose of complying with this AD subject to acceptance by the assigned FAA maintenance inspector, the number of landings may be determined by dividing each airplane's hours' time in service by the operator's fleet average time from takeoff to landing for the airplane type.
