First I hope the incorrect Docket number is not a method to cause confusion and
thereby generate less comments. The proposal claims the AD is the result of
data collected from a Taylorcraft acident. This accident has been incorrectly used
by the FAA to 1. Issue an Emergency AD on the struts. Said struts were not the
cause of the accident. The AD appeared to have more to do with promoting an
FAA approved Factory than promoting aviation safety. 2. Now we have this AD
solely because this "One" Aircraft was not maintained in accordance with the the
100hr/annual inspection requirements. Perhaps the FAA would be doing its job
listing those IA's who fail to do adequate inspections rather than issue an AD.
It would be nice to require the FAA to list or show "all information" evaluated
which enabled the FAA to make an unsafe determination. The proposed AD gives
greater respect to the non existant Taylorcraft Factory than its own regulations
and instructions regarding repairs. This alone would cause most reasonable
people to think there was to close of a tie in between the FAA and the former
Factory.
