Purpose
Service experience indicates the possibility of crack(s) developing
in the aluminum stabilator balance weight arm brackets at
approximately 2000 hours. To assist in preventing loss of the
control surface balance weight, it is recommended the brackets
be inspected and replaced with new steel brackets as detailed in
this Service Bulletin.
Compliance
Recommended, the aluminum 1732010-3 and -4 [parts manual figure 11
items 64 and 65] and 1732031-3 and -4 [11-60] brackets should be
inspected initially at 2000 hours bracket time in service or within
the next 200 hours of operation for airplanes which have accumulated
over 2000 hours on the brackets.
This inspection should be repeated every 200 hours or annually until
the aluminum brackets are replaced with 1732063-1 and -2 and
1732064-1 and -2 steel brackets.
NOTE: Compliance with Revision 1, and Revision 2 of this Service
Bulletin is required for all airplanes.
If SEB89-1 Revision 1 or SEB89-1 Revision 2 has previously been
accomplished, compliance with SEB89-1 Revision 3 is not required
if the correct part numbers were previously installed as shown
