Airworthiness Directives; Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160 Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Avions Pierre Robin Model R2160 airplanes. This AD requires repetitively inspecting the engine bearer for cracks, and replacing the engine bearer with a reinforced part either immediately or at a certain time period depending on whether cracks are found during the inspections. Replacing the engine bearer with a reinforced part terminates the repetitive inspection requirement. This AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for France. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect and correct cracks in the engine bearer, which could result in the engine separating from the airplane.
