 EXAMPLE OF HOW-TO-DO-IT FROM THE MOST EXPERIENCED LIGHT AIRCRAFT OPERATOR IN THE WORLD

 Posted 11:42 AM 29/01/2012

 Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) issued a series of Urgent Airworthiness
 Directives that temporarily ground most Beechcraft Bonanzas Debonairs and Barons as a result
 of discovery of a broken elevator control cable in one airplane and a severely frayed cable
 in a second.

 The CASA ADs require control cable inspection before further flight, and immediate replacement
 of any cables found to be damaged.

 The most controversial part of the Australian directives, however, is that they require
 replacement of all elevator control cables after 15 years in service regardless of the
 condition of the cable, a difficult, expensive and unnecessary job.

 The American Bonanza Society polled mechanics and inspectors and found there have been no
 similar occurrences in the U.S. fleet, although it should re-emphasize to mechanics that the
 entire length of all control cables is inspected at annual inspections.

 Federal Aviation Administration tells ABS it has conferred with CASA and does not see the need
 for airworthiness action at this time.

 FAA agrees with the ABS Air Safety Foundation’s commitment to increase mechanic education,
 and has accepted ABS’ suggestion that it release a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin
 (SAIB) recommending the inspection to support ABS' educational efforts.

 FAA will of course continue to monitor the issue, as will ABS.
