Someone pointed out in an earlier thread that the French AD requiring
hinge pin replacement apparently applies only to to those ships within
a limited range of serial numbers (in the 600s, if I recall correctly)
and to those in which original equipment pins have been replaced at
some point with other than P/N SY991A pins. If that is correct, has
anyone followed up with Greg Davison (in the FAA's Kansas City office)
to determine whether AD2005-08-06 applies to US-registered ships which
do not NOT fall in either of those two categories?
