AD: Pilatus

AD NUMBER: 2009-04-14
MANUFACTURER: Pilatus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2009-04-14
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: Field reports have indicated that during take-off with light turbulences or after rapid roll/heading attitude changes soon after take-off, it is possible that both PFDs (Primary Flight Display) indicate a roll attitude offset of up to 10 degrees in the same direction. This condition has been reported to correct itself after several minutes of unaccelerated flight with levelled wings and no sideslip. This situation, if not corrected, could result in an undesired bank angle which constitutes an unsafe condition. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.
