Taylorcraft A-A11 ATTACH FITTING SB 2007-002 Questions
November 21, 2007 We are experiencing a very high volume of telephone calls with questions about the wing strut attach fitting Service Bulletin 2007-002. What is required is a one time visual inspection for land based aircraft, and every four (4) years for float and ski equipped aircraft. Our main concern is that corrosion on the inside of the A-A11 attach fitting may not be noticed at annual inspections. Owners ask: "Do I have to cut the fabric for the inspection?" The answer is depending on how your Taylorcraft was last recovered. If you can inspect the back side center lug of the attach fitting without cutting the fabric you are ok. There is a drain hole on the bottom of the fitting that must be cleaned. At this time spot sand blasting and wire brushes seem to be best for cleaning the fitting.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please take the time to properly conduct and record the outcome of the SB2007-002 in your aircraft logbook. The Service Bulletin 2007-002 compliance will be part of any future FAA Airworthiness Directive regarding the mandatory inspection of the A-A11 Attach Fitting.
