The FAA is proposing a mandatory airworthiness directive (AD) for the Cessna Citation X elevator. It follows a mandatory service bulletin issued by Cessna last August based on reports of cracking and corrosion found on the elevator inboard-hinge brackets and the horizontal stabilizer hinges. The AD is to prevent the problem, which could result in structural failure of the elevators and consequent loss of control of the airplane.
