Tamarack Aerospace, the company under investigation following incidents involving aircraft it had modified, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy early in June, and announced its position on Friday, June 7.
Tamarack Aerospace Files For Bankruptcy
Key Takeaways:
- Tamarack Aerospace filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following FAA and EASA airworthiness directives that effectively grounded Citation jets equipped with its Atlas winglets.
- The grounding directives were issued due to multiple reported in-flight upset incidents where the Atlas winglets, which use active load-alleviation tabs, were implicated in control difficulties and a fatal accident investigation.
- Tamarack has issued free upgrades to address potential tab asymmetry, reporting no incidents in upgraded aircraft, and believes these updates will lead to the lifting of the AD restrictions.
