All Europa aircraft are subject to a new mandatory modification, Mod 58, which
entails the replacement of the tailplane anti-servo tab's drive pin plates.
We are sending out this modification as quickly as manufacture of the new parts
allows, starting with those of you who are flying Europas. If you are flying
your Europa and have not received this modification before the end of January,
please contact us.
Before next flight it is strongly advised that you carefully check the exposed
part of the tab drive pin lates for cracks. If you find evidence of cracking,
DO NOT FLY.
Cracking of this component is likely if your aircraft has been subject to
excessive
vibrations caused by an out of balance propeller or difficulty in engine
starting for example.
