FAA enforcement actions

FAA enforcement records haven't been loaded into GroundCheck yet, so none can be shown — a gap in our data, not evidence of a clean enforcement history.

Maintenance disclosure history

Service Difficulty Reports are self-reported maintenance findings. The NUMBER of reports is not a measure of reliability — diligent operators file more, not fewer. These are shown for transparency, not as a negative signal.

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, AFT SKI CABLE ATTACH CLEVIS PIN CAME LOOSE. CLEVIS PIN AND DIAPER PIN HOLDING CLEVIS DEPARTED ACFT. AFT SKI CABLE CAME LOOSE AND SKI FLIPPED FORWARD AND STRUCK WING LIFT STRUT, DENTING THE STRUT. PILOT MADE A SAFE LANDING. LIFT STRUT, AND SKI CHECK CABLE WERE REPLACED. SKI WAS REPAIRED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SECOND HOLE IN THE AFT SKI CABLE ATTACH FITTING ON THE ACFT NEEDED A SECOND HOLE. A SECOND HOLE WAS DRILLED AND REAMED. THIS SECOND HOLE ALLOWS FOR THE REAR SKI CABLE AND REAR CHECK CABLE TO BE ATTACHED AT SEPARATE PLACES ON THE FITTING RATHER THAN ONE POINT AT BEFORE. ALSO THE CABLES WERE REATTACHED WITH AN BOLTS AND LOW PROFILE NUTS TO PROVIDE A MORE POSITIVE CONNECTION THAN THE PREVIOUS HARDWARE. AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
