FAA Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for Univair Aircraft Corporation Models

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) to address issues with fuel line nipples on certain Univair Aircraft Corporation models, including the ERCO 415-C, ERCO 415-CD, ERCO 415-D, ERCO 415-E, ERCO 415-G, Forney F-1, and Forney F-1A airplanes. The proposed AD aims to prevent failures of the fuel line nipple by requiring the replacement of aluminum fuel line nipples with brass or steel ones and the installation of double support tubes on the gascolator.
