Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-18- 09, which applied to all Airbus Defense and Space S.A. Model CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 airplanes; and certain Model C- 295 airplanes. AD 2018-18-09 required a detailed inspection of the upper and lower lugs of each horizontal stabilizer-to-fuselage rear attachment fitting, repair if necessary, and a report of findings. This AD was prompted by reports of new occurrences of cracking. This AD requires repetitive inspections, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also revises the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
