Twin Commander Aircraft Corporation Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for 600 Series Airplanes

The Twin Commander Aircraft Corporation is proposing a new airworthiness directive to require the activation of airframe pneumatic deicing boots on its 600 series airplanes, following reports of in-flight incidents and an accident caused by ice accumulation. The proposed directive aims to prevent reduced aircraft controllability due to ice adhering to the airplane prior to the first deicing cycle.
