NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS TAB ROD FAILURE MAY BE AN ISOLATED CASE CAUSED BY THE OVERSIZE RIVET THROUGH THE TAB ROD, THE POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC NATURE OF SUCH A FAILURE FOR ANY REASON APPEARS TO MERIT THE ISSUANCE OF AN FAA MAINTENANCE ALERT BULLETIN APPLICABLE TO ALL GENERICALLY SIMILAR BEECH AIRPLANES. IN ADDITION, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE PERTINENT INSPECTION DETAILS ALSO BE INCLUDED IN SUBSEQUENT FAA INSPECTION AID SUMMARIES.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to issue a maintenance alert bulletin for all generically similar Beech airplanes, due to the potentially catastrophic nature of a tab rod failure. Additionally, the relevant inspection details should be included in subsequent FAA Inspection Aid Summaries.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
