Airworthiness Directive 2010-10-01
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd Models GA8 and GA8-TC320 Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:
Which aircraft AD 2010-10-01 applies to
Group 1 (Model GA8 airplanes): serial numbers GA8-00-004 and up (retains the actions and applicability from AD 2009-05-01). Group 2 (Model GA8-TC320 airplanes): all serial numbers.
Whether AD 2010-10-01 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
