The FAA has opened the comment period on a nose-gear airworthiness directive (AD) for the Tecnam P2006T piston twin that follows onto a mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) initiated under EASA in March 2019.
Nose-Gear AD Comments Open for Tecnam P2006T
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has opened a comment period for a proposed Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the Tecnam P2006T piston twin.
- The AD addresses an unsafe condition related to a manufacturing defect in the nose landing-gear (NLG) piston tube, stemming from an EASA mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI).
- This defect in specific NLG piston tubes could lead to a loss of control on the ground and requires replacement of the defective component.
- The proposed AD affects 59 aircraft, with an estimated rectification cost of $1,540 per airplane, and the FAA is accepting comments until October 12, 2021.
