75-20-06 BELLANCA: Amendment 39-2372. Applies to Model 17-30, 17-30A (S/N 30263 through S/N 76-30811), 17-31, 17-31TC, 17-31ATC (S/N 30004, S/N 31004 through S/N 76-31124), 14-19-3A, and 17-31A (S/N 32-15 through S/N 76-32-163) airplanes certificated in all categories.

Compliance required upon accumulation of 300 hours time in service or within the next 25 hours time in service from the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive (whichever occurs later) unless already accomplished, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours time in service from the last inspection until Bellanca Kit SK1234789-0004 is accomplished.

To detect cracks in either vertical side fuselage tube (F. S. 7), which is adjacent to the horizontal stabilizer carry-through, in the area near the upper fuselage longeron, accomplish the following:

A. Inspect the vertical tube for circumferential cracks at the upper weld, and between the upper weld and the horizontal stabilizer carry-throughtube, all around the tube.

B. If cracks are found, repair and modify in accordance with Bellanca Kit SK1234789-0004 or an equivalent approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, Great Lakes Region, before further flight, except that the airplane may be flown, in accordance with FAR 21.197, to a base where the repair can be performed.

C. If no cracks are found, no further action is required until the next inspection.

Bellanca Service Letter No. 85 or 85A pertains to this same subject.

This amendment becomes effective September 26, 1975.
