Unnecessary risk ?

...
Interesting time line for an Emergency Airworthiness Directive?

EAD issued on 26th Feb

EAD read and posted by learned PPRuNe citizen - 1st March

EAD effective date 3rd March

This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to failure or detachment of a control surface, possibly resulting in loss of control of the aeroplane.
Inspections 1) Before next flight after the effective date of this AD,
If the problem is bad enough to justify an EAD, what's wrong with 'Inspect before next flight' ?

Effectively, up to five days of unnecessary risk.

Would make for an interesting accident investigation.
