             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 23 January 2006.
Background:  The FAA received a report where, during a flight, the pilot of an ACAC Model 7KCAB aircraft noticed partial loss of aileron control and landed at the nearest airport.  The Nicopress sleeve on the cable was incorrectly swaged, allowing the cable to slip within the sleeve.  Incorrect swaging widths of the flight control cable Nicopress sleeves could result in the failure of the affected flight controls, and lead to loss of control of the aircraft.
