Hi guys CASA has released an AD in Australia limiting control cable life to 15 years, this seem to include building time on some fittings.
I have added the AD number and link below. Does this indicate the parts need a Date of Manufacture stamped on them from now on? Phil Matheson AD/GEN/87 This Airworthiness Directive became effective on 1 February 2015 and will apply to all the amateur built aircraft fitted with the stated stainless steel cable hardware. Please read the AD carefully to determine how/if it applies to your aircraft. Mike Horneman has written an excellent article on this subject which will appear in the next Airsport edition. Although the AD mandates replacement based upon ?time in service?, the SAAA recommends that you consider the circumstances carefully if you project had a long gestation period. If not properly stored, the damaging corrosion can be still be occurring whilst your project is under construction. http://www.casa.gov.au/ADFiles/airgen/gen/GEN-087.pdf _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
