Flygplan har kraschat utanför Umeå – nio personer döda (2019-07-14)

...enligt Statens Haverikommission, som utreder olyckan, har personer som varit på nedslagsplatsen konstaterat att vingarna sitter kvar på olycksplanet.

Vad som har hänt kan jag inte svara på ännu. Vi kan konstatera att två vingar är kvar och en gående motor, säger avdelningschef Peter Swaffer som leder haveriutredningen till TT.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd Models GA8 and GA8-TC320 airplanes. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as certain wing strut fittings manufactured with incorrect grain orientation, which has an unknown effect on fatigue related concerns. We are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products

(2) Within 3 months after the effective date of this AD or within 100 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS, visually inspect each strut and strut fitting for cracks, corrosion, and damage. If a crack, corrosion, or damage is found during any of the inspections, before further flight, do the applicable corrective actions (check torque, restore surface protection, and replace any part with a crack, corrosion, or damage).
