Received this article in my email today from AOPA. An update on the
Cessna wingspar AD. I am curious why the 421 isn't included in this list of aircraft. I thought all the 4 series shared a common wing? Glad to see the 3 series are not included (yet)! -Nathan FAA GRANTS MEETINGS FOR TWIN CESSNA OWNERS Owners of twin-engine Cessna airplanes will be allowed to voice their concerns in public meetings over proposed airworthiness directives (ADs), the FAA announced. Believing that the ADs are based entirely on theory and have no real-world data to back them up, AOPA lobbied hard for the meetings. The FAA has refused to reveal any data that may support safety issues. The ADs would require owners of Cessna models 401, 401A, 401B, 402, 402A, 402B, 402C, 411, 411A, and 414A to install an expensive spar strap modification, and perform repetitive spar inspections. AOPA estimates the cost of compliance to be $70,000 per aircraft, more than many of these models are worth. The meetings will take place on March 3 and 4 at a hotel near Washington Dulles International Airport, just outside Washington, D.C. AOPA urges owners to either attend the meetings or file formal comments before the extended comment period ends on April 5.
