EASA AD 2006-0267: Reims Stabilizer Attachment Nutplates
EASA AD 2006-0267 is a Reims stabilizer-attachment nutplate reference. The retained record distinguishes listed F150, FA150 and FRA150 models from specific F152 and FA152 serial ranges, and it carries a condition involving replacement under the superseded French directive. It should not be presented as an all-Cessna 150/152 rule.
Preserve model scope and serial scope
The local applicability summary names Reims F150F-M, FA150K/L and FRA150L/M. For the later family it identifies F15201429-F15201828 and FA1520337-FA1520372. It also notes the prior-replacement condition. These pieces belong together; dropping the Reims identity or the prior action would materially change the research meaning.

The source record gives a historical effective date and names DGAC 1984-067-IMP(A) R1 as the predecessor. This page describes that retained relationship. Check current authority requirements and the aircraft’s compliance records.
Why a French predecessor appears
Reims aircraft have a certification and approval history that cannot be reduced to the equivalent-looking U.S. model. The Reims certification guide explains the distinction between historical manufacture and later certificate administration. A French directive in the record is therefore part of the aircraft's documentary history, not evidence that the aircraft has been assigned the wrong family.
Where a log refers to the earlier French action, identify exactly what was done and to which components. The retained exception refers to a nutplate already replaced under that predecessor; a general tail inspection entry is not necessarily evidence of that replacement. Preserve the work description and source reference rather than substituting a yes/no flag.
Nutplates are one part of tail research
The tail-attachment reference also covers other fittings and rudder-related structural concerns. Those items should not be merged into one generic stabilizer problem. An aircraft can have documentation concerning one attachment detail while another remains outside the recorded work.
Use the applicable model and serial identity to find the correct maintenance material. This article does not provide removal instructions, inspection measurements or replacement-part approval. The short action summary is navigation to the underlying requirement and associated instructions.
What to retain in a Reims prebuy file
Keep the complete aircraft designation, serial notation, any predecessor-action entry, subsequent nutplate replacement evidence and the source used to determine applicability. If the aircraft has changed registry, retain that history as a separate consideration rather than assuming one jurisdiction's record settles every present requirement. A careful file preserves both what the evidence establishes and what still needs a qualified applicability or compliance review.
Official index and historical dates
The official EASA record independently identifies issue date 31 August 2006 and effective date 14 September 2006. It records the supersedure of DGAC France AD 1984-067-IMP(A) R1. These fields describe the publication history; they do not establish when work occurred on an individual aircraft.
Retain the complete applicability and replacement conditions in the technical source. The index is useful for locating the directive and related publications, but its model taxonomy alone cannot establish the installed nutplate configuration or compliance. For a different tail-related question, the rudder-stop AD guide follows its own revision and kit evidence.
