AD: Cessna 208 and 208B

By Janice Wood · March 13, 2009 ·

An Airworthiness Directive (AD) becomes effective April 15 for some Cessna Models 208 and 208B airplanes, requiring owners to modify the aileron carry-through cable attachment to the aileron upper quadrant with parts of improved design.

The AD results from reports of a “catch” in the aileron control system when the control yoke is turned.
