Suosituksen perustelu
ASI Aviation is the current type certificate holder for the aircraft, and according to the infor-mation on its website, is planning to restart its production. To ensure that both existing air-craft and any new aircraft to be manufactured can be safely maintained, it is necessary to at least correct the errors detected and review the maintenance manuals for any other similar inaccuracies.
Recommendation
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) require the aircraft type certificate holder to review and update the maintenance instructions for Reims F406 aircraft, so that any
deficiencies in main landing gear installation instructions are rectified. The landing gear installation instructions do not cover all necessary phases of work, and the order of phases is impractical in some places. The instructions provide no warning of the possibility of incorrect pivot pin installation.
