Cessna 402 Fleet Grounded
Cape Air, a local airline based in Hyannis, Mass., on Tuesday
voluntarily grounded 34 of its 49 Cessna 402 piston twins after experiencing three engine failures in three weeks. "Several recent engine abnormalities have led us to examine the wear-rate in one of the engine components ... ... The unusual wear pattern on these parts has to be fixed" the company said. Does anyone know what's going on? http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news..._195402-1.html -Charles Talleyrand
