2017-S27

Suosituksen perustelu

The Reims F406 aircraft type is based on Cessna 404. Both aircraft have the same landing gear construction, and maintenance instructions may also be partly the same. The same landing gear model may have been used in other aircraft types manufactured by Cessna.

Recommendation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States require the aircraft type certificate holder to review and, where necessary, update the maintenance instructions for Cessna 404 and any other aircraft types with a trailing link landing gear, so that any deficiencies found in main landing gear installation instructions are rectified. The landing gear installation instructions may not cover all necessary phases of work, and the order of phases may be impractical in some places.
