FAA ISSUES EMERGENCY AD FOR RARE AIRPLANE MODEL
The New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority has notified the FAA that the wings on Pacific Aerospace 750XL airplane models may not meet the ultimate load requirements for a maximum takeoff weight of 7,500 pounds. The maximum takeoff weight has been reduced to 7,125 pounds while the company develops a modification that will replace critical rivets with "AN" bolts. There are only five of these aircraft in the U.S. registry. Download the AD (http://download.aopa.org/epilot/2005/20052653ad.pdf ).
