 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

            Background: The FAA received reports that certain elevator skin assemblies did not receive a 250 degree Fahrenheit bake operation after corrosion treatment; thus making the skin susceptible to separation from the elevator assembly. Static strength capability is reduced due to the bond degradation, and continued operation could result in skin separation with potential aircraft flutter, and consequent loss of control of the aircraft.
