Hello Commander Fans,
Want to share a recent experience regarding flap gap seals. My 680F has
flap gap seals top and bottom. On a recent flight, the right top inboard
flap gap seal came loose, flew back and impacted the right horizontal
stabilizer. The impact caused a 2" diameter gouge in the leading edge of
the stabilizer along with other dents and scrapes. I was not aware of the
damage until noticing the gouge while re-fueling the airplane. I was able
to acquire a new replacement leading edge from Nick at AeroAir (Hillsboro,
OR 503 640 3711). Gary Gadberry (Aircenter, Chattanooga, TN 423 893 5444)
was able to provide a replacement flap gap seal. Turns out that the rivets
failed on the flap gap seal and the seal just peeled away. If you have flap
gap seals on your Commander, I encourage you to inspect the condition of
the rivets regularly. We replaced several rivets on the other flap gap
seals on the plane. Airplane was grounded for about 3 weeks for acquisition
of parts and replacement. Happy and safe flying.
