AD: Robert E. Rust Model DeHavilland Chipmunk - Correction
Source: aero-news.net
 AD NUMBER: 2010-18-12
MANUFACTURER: Robert E. Rust, Jr. Model DeHavilland DH.C1 Chipmunk 21, DH.C1 Chipmunk 22, and DH.C1 Chipmunk 22A Airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2010-18-12
SUMMARY: (This AD was issued with an AD number that had already been used. This copy has been corrected, and the FAA says it will issue a correction to the Federal Register.)
This AD requires you to do a one-time inspection of the flap operating system for an unapproved latch plate design installation, with replacement as necessary. This AD results from a report of a latch plate failing in service that was not made in accordance with the applicable de Havilland drawing. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct an unauthorized latch plate design installation which could result in an un-commanded retraction of the flaps. This failure could lead to a stall during a landing approach.
