Applicability: Aerospatiale Model SN 601 Corvette series airplanes, certificated in any category.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
To prevent structural failure of the fuselage and associated decompression of the passenger cabin, accomplish the following:
(a) Prior to the accumulation of 18,200 landings, or within 100 landings after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, inspect the skin panels between Frame FR17 and FR19, on the right side below stringer 11, to detect cracks, using an eddy current procedure, in accordance with Aerospatiale Corvette Service Bulletin 53-24, dated January 25, 1991.
(b) If no cracks are found as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, repeat the eddy current inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 7,300 landings.
(c) If any crack is found as a result of any inspection required by this AD, prior to further flight, install Modification 1399, in accordance with Aerospatiale Corvette Service Bulletin 53-15, dated January 22, 1991.
(d) Installation of Modification 1399, in accordance with Aerospatiale Corvette Service Bulletin 53-15, dated January 22, 1991, constitutes terminating action for the requirements of this AD.
(e) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. The request shall be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may concur or comment and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.
NOTE: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this airworthiness directive, if any, may be obtained from Standardization Branch, ANM-113.
(f) Special flight permits may beissued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.
(g) The inspections and modifications shall be done in accordance with Aerospatiale Corvette Service Bulletin 53-24, dated January 25, 1991; and Aerospatiale Corvette Service Bulletin 53-15, dated January 22, 1991.
