Not one reply .... Hello ! anyone there ? It is important that I know
who has completed what hours with the Torque tube clamps, please.
Otherwise we are left behind with the bloody 10 hour inspections,
(strange way to treat a permanent but removable fix to the tail plane
slop which was never going to happen after up size ?)
Was there any inclusions of this information on the tables of checks
that Richard Iddon produced? Has anyone retained that info? (My computer
crashed loosing my copy)
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG

Tube Clamp Mod.
Hi! All who have invested in my Torque Tube Clamp Mod.
I am not aware of anyone finding tail plane slop after fitting my clamps
(except those who I attended to on a recall basis due to Europa using
differing tube sizes.)
It seems I may have to comply with the PFA and prove none have shown
slop since fitting although I clearly understood to the contrary by my
conversation with Andy Draper.
You have all completed the slop checks on the 10 hourly requirements
presumably at great inspection expense and are therefore aware of any
slop to aircraft fitted with the clamps.
Please e-mail me immediately EITHER WAY and advise should you have
experienced such problems with the clamps fitted or continued
satisfaction with NO slop.( my e-mail address is :-
ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk
Without this information served on a plate to the PFA I expect the
"ostrich approach" to prevail with regard to 10 hour inspections! So it
is very much in your interests to mail me urgently.
Sorry for this nuisance request.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Bob,
I understand from Francis Donaldson that the CAA were a bit ahead of the
game and that PFA 247/FSB-004 Issue 4 is being distributed and will be
posted on the PFA web site tomorrow. The use of Loctite will then allow
the
10 hour inspection to revert to an annual inspection.
I asked Francis specifically about your Torque Tube clamps and the 10
hour
inspection, and he said that you would have to make a case to the PFA
for
aircraft fitted with your clamps to be exempt from the 10 hour
inspection --
no doubt he would wish to know how many aircraft had been fitted and
whether
any player had been found during the 10 hour inspections already carried
out.
Please argue your case with Francis: you don't need to convince me of
the
effectiveness of your clamps.
Regards
Mike

Hi! Richard/all
I have it from Andy Draper that Issue 4 is to do with the use of
Loctite. However I also have assurances that those with my PFA approved
Torque Tube clamps are exempt from the Loctite requirement. ...Not sure
yet about the 10 hour inspection requirement.. however.

I got this through the post from the CAA this morning.
It refers to PFA 247/FSB-004 Issue 4.
I have issue three. Where is issue 4 ?
