--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "David Feinstein" <david@carneyaviation.com>
I think you guys get the NE Grumman mail, but you should know about
this if you don't.
It's good news.
copy to Team Grumman just for shock value. If the GG doesn't already
know about it, maybe it just doesn't have enough Grumman content to
be acceptable. I originally tried to attach Ron Levy's explanation of a
Contour Inspection, but it bounced.

I am very pleased to announce that, after years of persistence, we have
succeeded in gaining approval for an alternate means of compliance (AMOC) AD
79-22-04 to provide for removal of the recurring aileron inspection!
The FAA has accepted the proposed alternate means of compliance to AD
79-22-04. The accepted alternate means requires compliance to Service
Bulletin 163/Service Kit 144 for aircraft with riveted aileron torque tubes.
It also provides instructions for a contour inspection of the ailerons. If
both ailerons are found to be in contour then further repetitive inspections
of the control system as specified by the AD are no longer required.
Essentially, the AMOC requires a one-time inspection of the ailerons to
ensure that they are within production tolerances. This check can be
completed with a simple straight edge tools, as defined in the AMOC
documentation. One the ailerons have passed this inspection, AD 79-22-04
has been complied with fully. 100hr inspections will be a thing of the
past.
Special thanks to John Rock at Tiger Aircraft for working with me through
the years to make this happen!
Copies of both the Service Instruction as well as the FAA approval letter
will be posted on the AYA web site.
Regards,
Jeff Simon
