FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Short Brothers Model SD3-30 and SD3-SHERPA Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Short Brothers Model SD3-30 and SD3-SHERPA series airplanes to address issues with loose bolts and rivets in the vertical fin-to-tailplane joint and upper shear angle. The proposed AD aims to prevent reduced structural integrity of the vertical fin to tailplane joint.
