CESSNA 310F — Ad

This document is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that applies to specific models of Mooney Aircraft, including the M20J. The directive mandates inspections and potential modifications to ensure the safety and airworthiness of these aircraft. The AD is a response to identified safety concerns regarding the main landing gear leg brackets, which may develop cracks over time due to manufacturing processes. The document outlines the necessary actions to be taken by aircraft owners and operators to mitigate risks associated with these components. Compliance with the AD is required to maintain operational safety and prevent incidents during flight operations.

• The AD applies to Mooney Models M20J, M20K, M20M, and M20R.
• Owners must inspect and potentially replace main landing gear leg brackets due to cracking.
• Compliance is required by November 26, 1998, for continued safe operation.
• Estimated compliance cost is $480 per airplane, excluding replacement costs.
• Failure to comply could result in main landing gear collapse and loss of control.
