Required on all 135 and 121 aircraft. Cost around $25,000 to do it about 5 years ago. -------- Milt N395V F1 Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=22086#22086 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:36:31 AM PST US From: "Bill Bow" Subject: RE: Commander-List: AGING AIRCRAFT --> Commander-List message posted by: "Bill Bow" I imagine it is mostly due to prop beat since it seems to be far more prevelant on the big-engined models such as the 680F/FL.

I seem to recall being told that there was a fatigue life determination done on the Commander. I don't recall details of the results, but I do remember that no "issues" were found with the wing design. My personal speculation is that the tail surfaces would be one of the first places to show significant fatigue damage. Commanders have a pretty obvious propensity to develope cracks in the tail feathers. I imagine it is mostly due to prop beat since it seems to be far more prevelant on the big-engined models such as the 680F/FL. Maybe Jim or Barry knows more.

No?
