Model CN-235 CN-235-100 CN-235-200 and CN-235-300 airplanes and certain Model C-295 airplanes. AD 2018-18-09 requires a detailed inspection of the upper and lower lugs of each horizontal stabilizer-to-fuselage rear attachment fitting repair if necessary and a report of findings. Since the FAA issued AD 2018-18-09 new occurrences of cracking were reported. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency EASA AD which is proposed for incorporation by reference IBR. The proposed AD would also revise the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
