14 CFR Part 39
[Docket No. FAA-2004-18033; Directorate Identifier 2004-CE-16-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 190, 195, 195A, and 195B Airplanes
 Preamble Information
Regulatory Information
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD):
Cessna Aircraft Company: Docket No. FAA-2004-18033; Directorate Identifier 2004-CE-16-AD.
When Is the Last Date I Can Submit Comments on This Proposed AD?
(a) We must receive comments on this proposed airworthiness directive (AD) by September 10, 2004.
What Other ADs Are Affected by This Action?
(b) None.
What Airplanes Are Affected by This AD?
(c) This AD affects Models 190, 195, 195A, and 195B airplanes, all serial numbers, that are:
(1) certificated in any category; and
(2) equipped with at least one part number (P/N) 0322709 or P/N 0322709-1 inboard aileron hinge bracket.
What Is the Unsafe Condition Presented in This AD?
(d) This AD is the result of several reports of cracks and corrosion found on the magnesium aileron hinge brackets. Magnesium is known to be susceptible to corrosion. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion damage to the inboard aileron hinge brackets. Such damage could result in the brackets cracking across the bearing boss and could lead to the aileron separating from the airplane with consequent reduced or loss of control of the airplane.
What Must I do To Address This Problem?
(e) To address this problem, you must do the following:
| Actions | Compliance | Procedures |
| 1) Inspect each P/N 0322709 and P/N 0322709-1 inboard aileron hinge bracket for cracks or corrosion. | Initially inspect within the next 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD, unless already done. Repetitively inspect thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours
TIS until each bracket is replaced
with an FAA-approved bracket
that is not made with magnesium, as
specified in the service information. | Follow the procedures in Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04-1, dated April 26, 2004.
|
| (2) Replace any cracked or corroded inboard aileron hinge bracket with an FAA-approved bracket, as specified in the service information. | Prior to further flight after any inspection where any cracked or corroded bracket is found. You may terminate the repetitive inspections required by this AD when all brackets are replaced with FAA-approved brackets that are
not made with magnesium, as specified in the service information. | Follow the procedures in Cessna Single Engine Service
Bulletin SEB04-1, dated April 26, 2004.
|
| (3) You may replace all inboard aileron hinge brackets (as specified in paragraph (e)(2) of this AD) regardless if any corrosion or crack is found as terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirement of this AD. | You may do this replacement at any time, but you must replace any corroded or cracked bracket prior to further flight after the applicable
inspection where any corrosion or
crack is found. | Follow the procedures in Cessna Single Engine Service Bulletin SEB04-1, dated April 26, 2004. |
(4) Do not install any P/N 0322709 or P/N 0322709-1 inboard aileron hinge
bracket; or any other inboard aileron hinge bracket made with magnesium. | As of the effective date of this AD.
| Not applicable.

May I Request an Alternative Method of Compliance?
(f) You may request a different method of compliance or a different compliance time for this AD by following the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise, send your request to your principal inspector. The principal inspector may add comments and will send your request to the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA. For information on any already approved alternative methods of compliance, contact Gary D. Park, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Mid-Continent Airport, Wichita, Kansas 67209; telephone: (316) 946-4123; facsimile: (316) 946-4107.
