Hi Bob,
Our illustrious Safety Officer has requested that I, as Club PFA
Inspector,
reply to your posting.
As I interpret the requirements, MPD 2007-006 (integrity of wing
attachments, CLASSICS only) is a one off inspection, which if the a/c
passes, may be signed off once and for ever. If the a/c does not pass
this
inspection then it must be grounded forthwith and reference must be made
to
Europa 2004 for guidance of how to fix the problem. In this instance
MPD
2007-006 may not be signed off until such appropriate rectification is
carried out.
MOD 74 has to be incorporated within 10 hrs from 1st Aug, but in itself
does
not provide rectification for any fault shown up in the 006 directive.
MPD 2007- 005, which refers to tail plane attachment, has to be repeated
once every 10 flight hours after the initial successful inspection.
There
is no relief from this requirement at present. If the a/c failed the
initial MPD 2007-005 inspection then it has to be grounded until such
time
as suitable rectification work has been approved by Europa 2004/PFA,
carried
out and signed off by a PFA inspector.
If the initial failure notice was due only to non compliant pip pin
holes
then Mod 73 allowed the a/c to fly once more but still requires 10 hr
repetitive checking of the other items covered by the directive.
If failure was due to any of the other items mentioned, eg movement of
TP9
on the torque shaft or excessive movement of the TP12=92s then once more
the
a/c has to be grounded until such time as this fault can be rectified.
Even
then it is still subject to repetitive 10 checks as per MPD 2007-005.
We all hope that a route forward will soon be forthcoming from
PFA/Europa
2004 which will increase the period or remove the requirement all
together.
So in short, carrying out the Mods73 & 74 does not eliminate the
requirement
for 10hr tailplane attachment checks.
I know it is not the answer you wanted but I hope it helps.
Pete Jeffers PFA Insp.

paperwork.....?
Hi! All and particularly our illustrious Safety Officer Mike Gregory.
Having now completed mods 72/73/74, not withstanding the necessity for
10
hourly inspections continuing, if those mods are signed off by the
Inspector
does the MPD=92s still need entering and signing off in the airframe log
book
or can it be assumed that the mods being signed off superedes the
necessity
to enter up the MPD=92s? =85=85=85paper and more paper=85=85..
