Airworthiness Directives: Univair Aircraft Corporation Models Ercoupe 415-C, 415-CD, 415-D, 415-E, and 415-G, Forney F-1 and F-1A, Alon A-2 and A-2A, and Mooney M10 Airplanes Federal Register ↗

Abstract

This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to Univair Aircraft Corporation (Univair) Models Ercoupe 415-C, 415-CD, 415-D, 415-E, and 415-G, Forney F-1 and F-1A, Alon A-2 and A-2A, and Mooney M10 airplanes. The proposed action would require installing inspection openings in the outer wing panels, inspecting (one-time) the wing outer panel structure for corrosion, and repairing any corrosion found. Several reports of corrosion in the outer wing panels of the affected airplanes prompted the proposed action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent wing structural damage that, if not detected and corrected, could progress to the point of failure.
