Department , Transportation ¡ederal Aviation ldministration DATE: January 5, 1996 95-26-16 R1 Priority letter AD 95-26-16 currently requires repetitively inspectig to ensure the alternate ai do or assembly cotter pin exists and is secure on certain Mooney Model M20J ailanes, and replacing the cotter pin with a part number MS 24665-132 if it does not exist or is notsecure. . A .fata accident involviga Mooney Model M20J airplane with reported engine failure in flight at 6,000 feet prompted the FAA to issue priority letter AD 95-26-16. After the reported engie failure, the pilot attempted to vector the ailane to the nearest aiort and crashed into a wooded lot. Investigation of the accident reve ale d that the aJtemate ai door bolt separate d from its fastener, which allowed the alternate air door to lodge in the aiintae of the fuel injector, resultig in restricted air flow to the engie. An FAA review of servce history on Mooney Mode! M20J ailanes reveaJed four other incidents involvig the alternate air door separating and becoming lodged in the intae of the fuel injector. These include two " ,: reports of rough engine operation while in flght with7emergency landing; an aborted take-off because of engie .,. power loss, and a servce difficulty report found during a 100-hour tie-in-servce rriS) inspection. ''l , : Since issuance of priörity letter AD 95-26~-16, Mooney has developed an altemate ai do or plate assembly ~ .

Mooney Servce Bulletin. (SB) M20-250B and SB' M20-253A, both dated December 1995,' specif procedures for modifg the alternate air door assembly" on Moonèy Mode1'M20J airplanes.. This modifcation consists oí.incorporatig the following parts of improved design: . - plate assembly, part number (P/N) 600355-507; - four rivets, P/N MS20426AD3; - a cotter pin, P/N MS24665-132; - a self-locking castellated nut, P/N MS 17825-4; and - a washer, P/N AN960-416. After examining all information related to the subject accident and incidents, including the referenced : ..~'" )servce -information, the FAA . hasdetennined.' that(l )priority-:letterAa 95-~6-16; should:- alow .the. opti~:m.,gf incorporating an altemate ai door plate assembly of improved design as termating action for the repetitive inspections; and (2) -AD action should be taken to prevent the alternate ai door on cert Mooney Model M20J airplanes from separating and restrctig air flow to the engie. Since an unsafe condition has been identified that is like ly to exist or develop on other Mooney Model M20J airlanes of the same tye design, this priority letter AD revises AD 95-26- 1 6 to provide the. option of incorporating the above-referenced modification as termatig action for the requirement of repetitively inspecting the alternate air door assembly. This rule is issued under 49 U.S.C. Section 44701 (forrerly section 601 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958), pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Admiistrator, and is effective imediately upon receipt of this priority letter. . 95-26-16 RI .

Accomplish this inspection in accordance with the Instructions section of Mooney Engineering Design 58 No. M20-264, Issue Date: February 1, 1998. (1) If cracks are found, prior to further f1ght, replace the cracked aileron control link with an aileron controllink of improved design (part numbers as specified in the referenced service information or FAA-approved equivalent numbers). Accomplish this replacement in accordance with the Instructions section of Mooney Engineering Design 58 No. M20-264, Issue Date: February 1, 1998. (2) Replacing both aileron controllinks with aileron controllinks of improved design (part numbers as specified in the referenced service information or FAA-approved equivalent numbers) may be accomplished at any time as terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirement of this AD, but must be accomplished prior to further flight on any aileron controllink found cracked. (' (3) If one aileron controllink is replaced prior to further flight when a crack is found, the other aileron controllink must stil be repetitively inspected every 100 hours TIS until replacement with an improved design part. (d) Replacing the aileron controllinks in accordance with Mooney Engineering Design 58 No. M20-264, Issue Date: February 1, 1998, is considered terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirement of this AD. (e) Special f1ght permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.1'97 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. (f) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the initial or repetitive compliance times that provides an equivalent level of safety may be approved by the Manager, Fort Worth Airplane Certification Office (ACO), 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0150.
