Unsafe Condition

Cracked aileron control links could result in loss of aileron control and loss of the airplane.

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

Required Actions

Inspect aileron control links for reinforcement gusset installation within 100 hours time-in-service after the effective date. If no gusset is installed, repetitively inspect for cracks using magnetic particle methods every 100 hours TIS. Replace cracked links with improved design parts prior to further flight. Replacing both links with improved design parts may be done as terminating action.
