The FAA is asked to issue an airworthiness directive requiring that the next 100-hour or annual inspection of Mooney M-20 and M-20A airplanes be performed at a Mooney service center or other facilities skilled in maintaining wooden aircraft. Subsequent similar inspections at these designated facilities should be required at regular intervals, such as every three years.
