Emergency AD 2008-06-51

Quick answers:

Does this apply to your aircraft?

If your aircraft is fuel injected and had any work done on the fuel servos after August 22, 2006 -- then it probably does.

When does this have to be done?

Now. This must be done by a licensed mechanic prior to further flight.

You will need to have this inspection done every 50 hours of flight time until further notice.

What does the AD entail?

Getting to the servo to see if the plug on the servo is loose. Most inspections and compliance can be done in well under half an hour. A log entry is required.

What if my aircraft fails the inspection?

For most aircraft: inspecting, re-installing and torquing the plug, along with continued monitoring should be sufficient.

What happens if I don't have it checked?

According to Precision, this condition has already caused at least one off-airport landing with significant damage. The first aircraft we inspected failed. We're finding this condition on roughly 20% of the ones we've checked. Don't mess with this one, folks.
