COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY
 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

 Israel Aircraft Industries 1125 (Astra) Series Aeroplanes

AD/IAI-A/2 Aileron Autopilot Servo  1/2000 DM

            Applicability: Models 1125 and Astra SPX aeroplanes with serial numbers 030 and 042 to 086 inclusive.

             Requirement: 1. Check the attachment arm position of the SVO-85C autopilot aileron servo actuator.

             2.    If the position of the arm is found to be incorrect during the Requirement 1 check, inspect the arm, control link and bellcrank for damage and, if necessary, repair or replace the damaged parts.

3.    Install a stopper angle.

            Note 1: All actions are to be completed in accordance with Astra Alert Service Bulletin No 1125-27A-157.

            Note 2: Israel CAA AD 27-99-10-06 refers.

 Compliance: 1. Within 50 hours time in service from 8 December 1999.

2.    Before further flight following the Requirement 1 inspection.

3.    Within 50 hours time in service from 8 December 1999.

            This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 8 December 1999.

            Background: The Israel CAA has advised of an unsafe condition involving possible rolling oscillations during autopilot operation. A shorter attachment arm on a new type of autopilot aileron servo actuator allows operation beyond former travel limits, this in turn can drive a control link out of position causing actuation in the opposite direction of autopilot command.
