Summary
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-07-03, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) (type certificate currently held by Textron Aviation, Inc.) (Textron) Model 402C and 414A airplanes. Since the FAA issued AD 2015-07-03, there have been additional reports of cracking and multi-site cracking in areas of engine beams that are difficult to access. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the engine beam for cracks and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD would also add a new life-limit to affected engine beams and require replacement when engine beams reach this life-limit. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
