Mr. Patrick Nickles-
To further help your search in gathering the most information on the Twin Commander
840, you can find all accidents files with the FAA or NTSB by typing in:
http://www.aerocommander.com/ntsb.html
Please select 690C as the type of aircraft and click OK. You can review what has
been filed with the FAA as accidents, causes and possible explanations to help
your decision. This link can be found at the library of Aerocommander.com.
Furthermore, you could search your individual aircraft records for bills of sale,
accidents, and or NADAC reports. Hope this helps in any way.
Dan Dominguez
It's one thing to be concerned about the investment required to fix this
problem but quite another to be worried that I'm flying an aircraft that is
"legal" but the overall safety is questionable

That is basically true. There are several important differences in the model
840 (690C) and the 690D/695A/695B airplanes. The 840 was built under the same
TC as all other Commanders, piston and tribune, CAR 3. The 690D/695 was
certificate under FAR part 23. The differences are many. As the 690D/695
airplanes were being manufactured, testing under part 23 was ongoing. When a weak
area was uncovered, a "fix" was applied. Hence, it is important to know the S/N
of the 690D/695 airplane you might be interested in. Theoretically, the last
695B should have had all the updates and the AD will be a minor thing.
Conversely, the fist 690D will need all of the repairs and updates, costing a
couple of thousand $$ or more.
The good news is that there is little danger of this AD working
backward down the system. I asked specifically that question, and the answer from
both TCAC and the FAA was that there was no anticipation that other models
would be effected. (never say never) jb
