Airworthiness Directives; Quality Aerospace, Inc. S2R Series and Model 600 S2D Airplanes
This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000- 11-16, which currently applies to certain Quality Aerospace, Inc. (Quality Aerospace) (formerly Ayres Corporation) S2R series and Model 600 S2D airplanes. AD 2000-11-16 requires you to repetitively inspect the \1/4\-inch and \5/16\-inch bolt hole areas on the lower spar caps for fatigue cracking; replace or repair any lower spar cap where fatigue cracking is found; and report any fatigue cracking found. AD 2000-11-16 resulted from an accident of an Ayres S2R series airplane where the wing separated from the airplane in flight. Since AD 2000-11- 16, additional airplanes have been identified that were manufactured with a similar design to those affected by the AD and a third repair option has been developed. This AD retains the repetitive inspections and replacement (if necessary) requirements of the lower spar caps that are currently required in AD 2000-11-16, adds additional airplanes to the Applicability of the AD, and adds a third repair option. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the lower spar caps, which could result in the wing separating from the airplane with consequent loss of control of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are FAA-mandated safety directives that apply to specific aircraft, engines, or components. N51AR may be affected by 1 directive. All applicable ADs must be complied with for the aircraft to remain legally airworthy. Buyers should verify AD compliance in the aircraft's logbooks before purchase.
