Safety alerts !!
This week all Europa owners have been sent a PFA bulletin requiring
inspections of the rudder cables for signs of wear in the vicinity of the
fairleads in the forward fuselage. Following investigations into an
accident
in a Europa last year when a seized alternator stopped the engine, we are
also sending owners of NSI engined Europa bulletins calling for regular
checks on the condition of the alternator bearings and warning about the
high rate of decent following engine failure, due to the drag of the
windmilling propeller.
