AD: Taylorcraft

AD NUMBER: 2007-16-14
MANUFACTURER: Taylorcraft Aviation LLC,Taylorcraft Inc.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-16-14
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Taylorcraft A, B, and F series airplanes.

This AD requires you to initially inspect the left and right wing front and aft lift struts for corrosion and cracks, replace any cracked strut or strut with corrosion that exceeds certain limits with either sealed or non-sealed struts, and repetitively inspect any non-sealed struts.

This AD results from inspections where several different struts were found with moderate to severe corrosion and required strut replacement.

We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion or cracks in the right and left wing front and aft lift struts.

This condition, if not corrected, could result in failure of the lift strut and lead to in-flight separation of the wing with consequent loss of control.
