REGULATORY TEXT:  
90-11-07 AEROSPATIALE (FORMERLY SUD AVIATION/SUD-SERVICE): Amendment No. 39-6602. Docket No. 90-NM-04-AD.
Applicability: Aerospatiale Caravelle SE 210 Model III and VIR series airplanes, certificated in any category.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished.

To prevent structural failure of the wing box secondary ribs, accomplish the following:

A. Prior to the accumulation of 20,000 landings, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, perform an X-ray inspection of all feet located at the top of secondary ribs 10 through 24, 27 through 29, 42, and 43, in accordance with the Aerospatiale Service Bulletin 57-68, Revision 1, dated May 20, 1988.

B. If no cracks or defects are found, repeat the inspection required by paragraph A., above, at intervals not to exceed 3,000 landings.

C. If cracks or defects are found as a result of the inspection required by paragraph A., above, perform a visual inspection of the opened up areas, perform an X-ray inspection of ribs 7 through 43 which have not been previously inspected, repair, and reinforce damaged ribs, prior to further flight, in accordance with Aerospatiale Service Bulletin 57-68, Revision 1, dated May 20, 1988. Following repair of a rib, repeat the X-ray inspection of the adjacent secondary ribs between ribs 7 through 43, inclusive, at the following intervals:

1. If ribs 11, 15, and 20 in the same wing have been repaired and reinforced, repeat the X-ray inspection at intervals not to exceed 6,000 landings.

2. If ribs 11, 15, and 20 in the same wing have not been repaired and reinforced, repeat the X-ray inspection at intervals not to exceed 3,000 landings.

D. Repairing all the feet of all ribs in accordance with paragraph 6 of Aerospatiale Service Bulletin 57-68, Revision 1, dated May 20, 1988, constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections required by paragraphs B. and C., above.

E. An alternate means of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM- 113, FAA, Northwest Mountain Region.

NOTE: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI), who will either concur or comment and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

F. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.

All persons affected by this directive who have not already received the appropriate service documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to Aerospatiale, 316 Route de Bayonne, 31060 Toulouse, Cedex 03, France. These documents may be examined at the FAA, Northwest Mountain Region, Transport Airplane Directorate, 17900 Pacific Highway South, Seattle, Washington, or the Standardization Branch, 9010 East Marginal Way South, Seattle, Washington.

This amendment (39-6602, AD 90-11-07) becomes effective on June 19, 1990.
