the horizontal stabilizer front spar on Australian registered Cessna 210s. Both front and rear spars must be serviceable for the horizontal stabilizer to carry ultimate load. The front spar forms part of the horizontal stabilizer's primary load path, and loss of strength in this area could be catastrophic.

            It should be noted that this Airworthiness Directive mandates an inspection requirement already stated in the manufacturer's maintenance data.

            Amendment 1 of this Airworthiness Directive is issued to highlight that later models have been manufactured with horizontal stabiliser spars containing three layers, making the centre laminate almost impossible to inspect. This amendment provides guidance on inspection of the three layer configuration. Compliance times remain unchanged.

            Amendment 2 of this Airworthiness Directive is issued to increase the recurrent compliance interval from 100 hours to 110 hours time in service to allow the inspections required by this Airworthiness Directive to be aligned with scheduled maintenance.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 6 March 2002.
