Required Actions

Revise the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to prohibit operation under certain conditions. Conduct repetitive inspections of the tab mast fitting of the elevator tab assemblies to detect cracking. Perform an elevator tab freeplay check. Install an additional fastener on the tab mast fitting, which terminates the AFM revision and extends certain repetitive inspections.
