tecnamman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The EASA issued an AD for Tecnam Sierra 2002 - JF and P92-J and P92 JS ‘certified in any category’ regarding seat rail stops on 9<SUP>th</SUP> August 2006 (EASA AD NO: 2006-0234)….you’re probably all aware of it by now but in case some have missed it…this was addressed by Tecnam as SB001-CS dated 24 March 2006 (not listed under non uncertified types on Tecnams website)) The RAA have issued AN 230806-1 dated 23/8/06 for the ultra light non-certified fraternity. This problem was pointed out to me before I took delivery and was fixed by installing clevis pins through the rails at the front. I understand that you can now buy a spanner from Tecnam to undo the wheel bearing nut at around $130……I can’t see for the life of me why they just didn’t use a normal hex head ‘half height’ nyloc or similar that you could undo with standard tools…..am I missing the point or could someone enlighten me why??...originally was not available so made up my own ….lot’s a filing practice whilst cursing Tecnam for such an idea!

Ross Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I always thought that anyone who designs a machine of any description should have to do compulsory maintenance on it for a least a year whether the machine needs it or not.

Paul Willett Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have seen the simplest solution to this recently - two 50c screw-type hose clamps, one for each seat. Simple. Effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
