Cessna Service Bulletin SEB94-8
Hi,
We just had our annual done on our 172E, and there were cracks found in the forward horizontal stabilizer spar. The remedy is to apply Cessna Service Bulletin SEB94-8. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of this bulletin online? I'm trying to get an idea of the cost of this maintenance. thanks, Jordan |

Cessna charges for everything. The fix involves either stopdrilling the cracks if they haven't reached the spar flanges and monitoring it every 100 hours thereafter, or taking the stab off and having a doubler rivetted into it. The doubler is by far the better fix but costs a lot more; the stab has to come mostly apart. Check with the Cessna dealer. he might print off the belletin for you. Time to stop sitting on the stab to raise the nosewheel for maneuvering on the ramp... ;-) We've done two stab doublers here, and have two more low-time 172s whose stab spars aren't cracked yet because we now forbid pushing down on the stab to turn the airplane. That's the factory reccomended procedure in the Bonanza. That might be OK for the Bonanza (the stab might be reinforced for it) but it's asking for expensive trouble on a 172. Dan |
