I am no expert so I would suggest Yak 52 owners contact their maintenance organisations for an accurate account.
It would appear that in response to the airframe life MPD put out by the CAA the maintenance companies are getting their heads together to draw up a Schedule to cover this matter. This is not complete yet.
It will PROBABLY require crack checks on various parts of the airframe at specified hourly intervals. These intervals are not agreed yet. Subject to satisfactory checks, or repairs the airframe should go on flying.
