Alternative Means Of Compliance

                For the inspections detailed in Requirements 2 and 4 of this AD, a linear bearing access panel may be installed instead of drilling an inspection hole.  If the hole has previously been drilled, the access panel may also be installed in addition to the inspection hole.  This can be done in accordance with Cessna Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-07-018 dated 29 May 2008.

             Note:  FAA AD 2007-07-06R1 Amdt 39-15713 dated 21 October 2008 refers.
Compliance:  For Requirement 1 - Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, unless previously accomplished.

             For Requirement 2 - Remains unchanged as detailed in the original issue of this AD as: Initially within the next 35 flight hours after 30 April 2007, unless previously accomplished, thereafter at intervals not to exceed 12 calendar months.

                For Requirement 3 - Before further flight after the effective date of this AD.

             For Requirement 4 - Remains unchanged as detailed in the original issue of this AD as: Initially within the next 35 flight hours after 30 April 2007, unless previously accomplished, thereafter at intervals not to exceed 12 calendar months.

             For Requirement 5 - Before further flight after the effective date of this AD.
             This Amendment becomes effective on 19 December 2008.
Background:  This AD is the result of reports of possible foreign object contamination of the linear bearings.  The issuing of this AD is to prevent jamming in the aileron and elevator control systems, which could result in failure.  This failure could lead to loss of control.

             This amendment changes the serial number of the aircraft affected by the AD.  Cessna approved data has also been added to the approved data detailed in the various requirements.

   The original issue of this AD became effective on 30 April 2007.
