FAA claims that Zodiac does not meet ASTM requirements

"The agency issued a special airworthiness information bulletin for existing Zodiacs and suspended the issuance of any new airworthiness certificates. ...

Other recommendations include changes to the ASTM standards to address other contributing factors. " Complete AOPA article at:http://tinyurl.com/y9q2y24 Vaughn
