CESSNA T-210 · Airworthiness Directives
Overview
This document is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) of Australia, specifically addressing safety concerns related to the Cessna 210 series aeroplanes, including the T-210 models. The directive outlines necessary actions to inspect and potentially replace horizontal stabiliser attachment reinforcement brackets that may have been manufactured without seam welds. The compliance deadline for these actions is set at 50 hours of time in service after the effective date of the directive, which is 11 July 2002. The document serves as a critical safety measure to prevent structural failures in the horizontal stabiliser, ensuring the continued airworthiness of affected aircraft.
- The directive applies to Cessna 210 series aircraft, including T-210 models.
- Affected part number is 1232624-1, with specific serial numbers listed.
- Operators must inspect brackets for seam welds within 50 hours after 11 July 2002.
- If no seam welds are found, brackets must be replaced before further flight.
- Continued use of deficient brackets could result in structural failure.

Applicability
The directive applies to various models of the Cessna 210 series, including specific serial numbers for the T-210 models. It details the exact serial numbers for each model affected by the directive, ensuring that operators can identify whether their aircraft is subject to the requirements.
Requirement
Operators must check their maintenance records to determine if the horizontal stabiliser attachment reinforcement bracket part number 1232624-1 was installed and shipped by Cessna between 27 February 1998 and 17 March 2000. If the brackets are from this range, a visual inspection is required to check for seam welds.
Inspection Procedure
If no seam welds are found on the brackets during inspection, they must be replaced with a new or serviceable part number 1232624-1 bracket before further flight. If seam welds are present, no further action is required.
Compliance
The compliance for the actions outlined in this directive must be completed within 50 hours of time in service after 11 July 2002, unless the actions have already been accomplished.
Background
The directive was issued following reports to the FAA regarding the manufacturing of certain brackets without seam welds, which could lead to structural failure of the horizontal stabiliser if not addressed.
Safety notes
- Failure to comply with this directive may lead to structural failure of the horizontal stabiliser.
- Immediate action is required if brackets without seam welds are identified.

Check the maintenance records, and determine whether a horizontal stabiliser attachment reinforcement bracket (bracket) part number (P/N) 1232624-1 is installed that was shipped by Cessna from 27 February 1998 through 17 March 2000. If the installed brackets were not shipped by Cessna between 27 February 1998 and 17 March 2000, no further action is required by this Directive. 2. If the above check reveals that affected P/N 1232624-1 brackets are installed, visually inspect the left and right brackets for existence of seam welds along both the lower inboard and outboard wall/flange.

If no seam weld is found on the left or right bracket during the Requirement 2 inspection, before further flight, replace with a new or serviceable P/N 1232624- 1 bracket. If the left and right brackets have seam welds along both the lower inboard and outboard wall/flange, no further action is required. Note: FAA AD 2002-07-01 Amdt 39-12695 refers. Compliance: Within 50 hours time in service after 11 July 2002, unless already accomplished. This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 11 July 2002. Background: The FAA received a report that certain horizontal stabiliser attachment reinforcement brackets were manufactured without seam welds. This Directive specifies actions to detect and replace structurally deficient attachment brackets. Continued use of such brackets could result in structural failure of the horizontal stabiliser.
