AD: XtremeAir GmbH Airplanes

AD 2020-13-03 Applies To Cracking Of The Diagonal Struts Of The Engine Mount Frame

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-07-15 for certain XtremeAir GmbH Model XA42 airplanes.

This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as cracking of the diagonal struts of the engine mount frame with potential detachment of the engine from the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective July 15, 2020.

Supplementary Information: The FAA issued AD 2018-07-15, Amendment 39-19246 (83 FR 15036; April 9, 2018) (“AD 2018-07-15”) to address an unsafe condition on XtremeAir GmbH Model XA42 airplanes equipped with an engine mount part number XA42-7120-151. AD 2018-07-15 required repetitive inspections of the engine mount strut junction for cracks and was based on MCAI originated by an aviation authority of another country. The FAA issued AD 2018-07-15 to detect and address cracking of the engine mount frame, which could lead to detachment of the engine in-flight and result in loss of control.
