Attn European T-6 Owners

Out of curiosity has this just gone to UK owners or has the rest of Europe done the same?

As was expected, this FAA Emergency AD has now been sent out to all UK owners of Harvards….

No aerobatics, flight in turbulence or flights with passengers until the requirements of the AD have been complied with..which basically, is a dye penetrant check of the wing attachment flanges for cracks, and rectification work if required.

Could be interesting times ahead.

natch!
Plus even if it isnt, a dye pen check to stop your wings falling off may be a sensible precaution – pretty rare to have one go, sea air, hi-G aeros and heavy landings probably exacerbated the situation in the US incident i guess….

Is this likely to be taken up by the various European authorities?

You bet!!!!
