Beechcraft 1900 Emergency AD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Beechcraft 1900 is such a common contract aircraft in Africa, I thought it would be worth mentioning on this forum that the FAA have issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive, today, 31 August 2006, number 2006-18-51.
This requires initial action at the later of 'within 24 hrs' or 'before further flight'... ie NOW!
This AD refers to a condition that '....could result in the wing separating from the aeroplane....'
Those of you on contract may wish to bring this to the attention of maintenance if they haven't yet received details.
Aircraft affected are as follows:
1) 1900 UA-3
2) 1900C (C-12J) UB-1 through UB-74, UC-1 through UC-174, and UD-1 through UD-6
3) 1900D UE-1 through UE-439
Happy flying!

Love the vid anyone with decent aerobatic skills can pull it off. Mayyybee. The 1900 wing CRAAAAAAAACK AD is from clowns trying mimic the CCR music vid.

Sorry just a poor take off on Bob Hoover. These Guys aren't Bob Hoover. Try it single pilot backhanded. Bob's the the best and always will be

The video in question does'nt quite bother me, the technicalities involved either.The point is, the pilots got away with something they had fun doing obviously.
What bothers me here, is the notion that some people tend to think that AFRICA is the place to display all the indiscipline they could not possibly display in home countries.
We all should caution one another about our behaviour concerning airplanes, these machines, though cute and fun, are also KILLERS!!!
I would suggest that we all take some kind of care in how we operate these pieces of equipment.
The wise are only told ONCE!

We can do it, but should we?

years ago flying into a small strip not knowing that a hotdogger just buzzed the village I was surprised with a group of young and trigger happy AK carring conscripts were intent on either shooting me or the plane but facing a few hours in their "jail" for a few hours, maybe my most scary moment trying to help those that need it. its not professional or safe, not only for the guy who dose it but for the guys doing the right thing. the locals don't have that love for flying like we do. The killers are on the ground and all they need is that excuse. Keep it safe for youself and the poor starving pilot who lands there later.
Thats my two cents.
