FAA Proposes Update to Airworthiness Directive for British Aerospace Viscount 700, 800, and 810 Series Airplanes
Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to update an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for British Aerospace Model Viscount 700, 800, and 810 series airplanes, requiring more frequent inspections to detect cracks and corrosion in engine nacelle structures. The proposed AD aims to address reports of cracked lower eye end fittings and limit the applicability of the existing directive.
