AT 6 mishap in dallas..

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/sta...tageplane.html

What is interesting is I wonder if this plane had met compliance with
the recent emergency AD that effectively grounded ALL AT6's until a
fairly comprehensive removal, inspection and reinstallation of most if
not all of the wing attach fittings/bolts.

There was a one time 10 hour allowance to reposition, with many
limitations, including day, vfr, and no passenger carrying. There was a
passenger in this aircraft, per the news article.

The AD subject matter has nothing to do with the gear mishap, but I
would be surprised that one of these aircraft has already complied with
the AD fully this soon afterwards of the issue date..

IF this plane was in compliance, its a non-issue.. if it was NOT, would
the expected action be a slap on the wrist, or a full court public lynching?

What say ye?
