The National Transportation Safety Board recommendations
The National Transportation Safety Board recommendations
The FAA:
- •
Require that operators of Cessna 206-, 207-, and 210-model aeroplanes that are equipped with foam-filled elevator trailing edges and/or a foam-filled trim tab inspect those foam-filled components for corrosion, perform an elevator control surface balancing to ensure that the components are within the manufacturer's specified limits, and replace as necessary (A-06-54).
- •
Define a repetitive inspection program or terminating action for foam-filled elevator trailing edges and/or a foam-filled trim tab on the Cessna 206-, 207-, and 210-model aeroplanes that are so equipped (A-06-55).
The National Transportation Safety Board has also recommended that the FAA, require recurrent inspection of part number 0513166 series control wheels in applicable Cessna aeroplanes for cracks, with specific emphasis on the inside upper corners where fatigue cracking has been found and replacement of the control wheels if any cracks are detected (A-06-53).
