Default FAA claims that Zodiac does not meet ASTM requirements

Certainly nothing unexpected, but this is a disaster for Zodiac owners.

"The agency issued a special airworthiness information bulletin for existing
Zodiacs and suspended the issuance of any new airworthiness certificates. ...
The FAA estimates that the wing design loads were 20 to 25 percent too low for
the certified maximum takeoff weight and recommends that operators not fly the
aircraft until a manufacturer's fix can be installed. Other recommendations
include changes to the ASTM standards to address other contributing factors. "
