Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This AD requires owners/operators of Sky Republic RC-3 (Seabee) serials 5–236 to inspect the wing tip float strut per Republic Service Bulletin No. 12 because cracks were found in the upper-slot area. If not already done, inspection must be completed by 31 Oct 1999 (AD effective 7 Oct 1999); thereafter, aircraft with struts lacking relief holes must be inspected every ≤50 hours TIS. Compliance costs and work scheduling fall to the owner/operator.
