Spar Life - Grumman Albatross
Does anyone know the wing spar life on a HU-16A Grumman Albatross ?
Note : not the G-111 remanufactured HU-16s which use titanium spar caps and have a different life I have searched FAA and other databases and found nothing I heard it was 5,500 hrs which seems very low Anyone know or can point me in the right direction for info ? |
Grumman Albatross Wing Life Limits
The wing life limit on the Albatross varies with each individual airframe. On the short wing version (HU-16A, HU-16C, UF-1, SA-16A) there is no life limit. On the long wing version it is
listed in the Type Certificate Data Sheet (Look up TCDS A33SO on the FAA Website). Ray Wolfe SeaPlane Operations, LLC - Your Seaplane Specialists The Grumman Albatross Web Site - Let Us Never Forget September 11th 2001 |
