{"abstract":"We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all M7 Aerospace LLC Models SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-AC (C-26A), SA227-AT, SA227-BC (C-26A), SA227-CC, SA227-DC (C-26B), and SA227-TT airplanes. We received reports of failed elevator control rod ends due to corrosion and lack of lubrication. This AD requires initial and repetitive inspections and lubrication of the elevator control rod ends and bearings with replacement as necessary. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/05/11/2016-10872.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":39,"title":14}],"citation":"81 FR 29123","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This AD is effective June 15, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FAA-2016-4256","Directorate Identifier 2016-CE-002-AD","Amendment 39-18512","AD 2016-10-01"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2016-10872","effective_on":"2016-06-15","end_page":29125,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/05/11/2016-10872.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/05/11/2016-10872/airworthiness-directives-m7-aerospace-llc-airplanes","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-10872?publication_date=2016-05-11","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-05-11/2016-10872/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":403,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 02:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-05-11/pdf/2016-10872.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-10872.pdf?1462884330","publication_date":"2016-05-11","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/05/11/2016-10872.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AA64":{"issue":"202410","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202410&RIN=2120-AA64&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AA64"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - Service Information","document_id":"FAA-2016-4256-0004"},{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - Various Supplemental AD Documents","document_id":"FAA-2016-4256-0002"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2016-4256","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"FAA-2016-4256","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"2016-CE-002-AD","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2016-05-31T06:00:12Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":29123,"subtype":null,"title":"Airworthiness Directives; M7 Aerospace LLC Airplanes","toc_doc":"M7 Aerospace LLC Airplanes","toc_subject":"Airworthiness Directives:","topics":["Air transportation","Aircraft","Aviation safety","Incorporation by reference","Safety"],"type":"Rule","volume":81}
