August 2008.
Background:  Several production aircraft have been found with the elevator overload bungees installed in reverse orientation: i.e. larger end outboard rather than inboard.  This bungee reversal does not impact normal operation of the elevator and would not increase the probability of an elevator disconnect.  However, if a bungee became disconnected at the inboard side, the corresponding side of the elevator may not centre and this could adversely affect the pitch control of the aircraft.

             This amendment revises the applicability section of the AD and corrects an error in the P/N of the overload bungee in line with the revision of referenced Transport Canada AD.

             The original issue of this AD became effective on 10 April 2008.
