AD: Correction, Piaggio

AD NUMBER: 2011-01-53

MANUFACTURER: PIAGGIO AERO INDUSTRIES S.p.A Model PIAGGIO P-180  Airplanes
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-01-53

SUMMARY: This AD supersedes Emergency AD 2011-01-51, requires an immediate functional test of the fuselage drain holes, and requires sending a report of the results to the FAA. This AD also allows, with noted exceptions, for the return/position of the airplane to a home base, hangar, maintenance facility, etc. This AD was prompted by reports of water accumulation in the belly of the fuselage that froze and caused the flight controls to jam. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent water or fluid from accumulating in the belly of the fuselage and freezing when the aircraft reaches and holds altitudes where the temperature is below the freezing point. This condition could cause the flight controls to jam with consequent loss of control.
