The FAA issued two direct-to-final-rule Airworthiness Directives today that affect general aviation airplanes. A Cessna AD addresses the elevator trim tabs in about 5,000 twin-engine T310Q, 310Q, and 402B aircraft. Textron already has issued a service bulletin, but allows up to a year to make the fix — the FAA said today it is shortening that time to 90 days. The Piper AD addresses reports of wing-rib cracks found in PA-28 Cherokees, and extends the directive to more models than the previous AD.
