Airworthiness Directive Issued for Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-802 and AT-802A Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to supersede an existing one, which applies to all Air Tractor, Inc. Models AT-802 and AT-802A airplanes. The new directive aims to detect and correct cracks in the wing main spar lower cap at the center splice joint, which could lead to wing separation and loss of control of the airplane.
