This document clarifies information in airworthiness directive (AD) 96-24-17, which applies to Don Luscombe Aviation History Foundation (Luscombe) Models 8, 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, 8F, T-8F airplanes. AD 96-24-17 currently requires installing new inspection holes, modifying the wing tip fairings, and inspecting the wing spars for intergranular corrosion. The actions specified in AD 96-24-17 are intended to prevent wing spar failure from intergranular corrosion, which could result in structural failure of the wings and loss of control of the airplane. The AD was published with an Appendix providing an alternative method of compliance. Since issuance of AD 96- 24-17, the FAA has re-examined the Appendix and has determined that clarification of certain inspections procedures is needed. This action clarifies the procedures specified in the Appendix of AD 96-24-17.
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are FAA-mandated safety directives that apply to specific aircraft, engines, or components. N2759K may be affected by 1 directive.
