COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 51 airplanes of U.S. registry. Operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:

  • Required Actions: Up to 73 work-hours × $85 per hour = Up to $6,205 per airplane.
  • On-Condition Costs:
    • Labor: 93 work-hours × $85 per hour = $7,905.
