   Flapperon Operating Lever and Lever Attach Box Section - Inspection

 4/85

            Requirement: Remove the flapperon operating lever assembly and inspect the lever attach box sections and the operating levers for evidence of corrosion and cracking.

            Note: Alternatively, inspection may be achieved without dissasembly by the provision of inspection holes to a scheme approved by the Secretary.

            Compliance: Unless already accomplished, within 100 hours time in service after 30 April 1984, and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 3 years.

            Background: Reports have been received of evidence of corrosion and cracking in the lever and box section which has resulted from moisture entrapment. Failure to detect this defect could result in the eventual loss of control surface input movement. This AD is amended to remove the operating lever assembly part number as all assembly part numbers are affected.
