FAA Adopts New Airworthiness Directive for Allied Ag Cat Productions, Inc. Model G-164 Series Airplanes

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) to supersede an existing directive, requiring inspections and corrosion protection for the rudder main tubular spar on Allied Ag Cat Productions, Inc. (formerly Grumman-American) Model G-164, G-164A, and G-164B airplanes, due to a recent failure of the weld to the main spar tube, which could lead to loss of directional control.
