Aircraft Maintenance of Maine, Inc.

Maine Aviation Sales has changed the name of its Maintenance Department to Aircraft Maintenance of Maine and is Performing the Modifications and Inspections that are required for the New AD’S on Cessna Aircraft.

We completed 7 Spar Modifications on time and on budget this year alone with bookings going into next year.
Effective June 22, 2005 there where 2 New AD’S on the Aircraft listed below.

AD 2005-12-12 Applies to 401, 401A, 401B, 402, 402A, 402B, 411, 411A.This AD supersedes AD 79-10-15 which required repetitive inspections for fatigue cracks in the lower wing spars & forward lower wing attachment fittings. It complies with Cessna Supplemental Inspection Document (SID) 57-10-08 which makes the Modification due when the aircraft reaches 20 years.
AD 2005-12-13 Applies to 402C & 414A. This AD supersedes AD 2005-05-52 which required repetitive inspections for fatigue cracks in the lower wing spars & forward lower wing attachment fittings. It complies with Cessna Supplemental Inspection Document 57-10-16 which makes the Modification due when the aircraft reaches 20 years.

* If you’re Aircraft Logs Are Not Complete. This will Change Your Compliance Time. For 401-402B & 411 aircraft it makes the AD due within 100 hours from the June 22, 2005. On 402C & 414A aircraft it makes the AD due within 400 hours from June 22, 2005.The above AD’s are intended to prevent wing spar cap failure from undetected cracks. That would result in loss of a wing leading to loss of aircraft control during flight.

Aircraft Maintenance of Maine is performing the Modifications and Inspections that are required for the Spar Strap kit installations on all 300/400 series aircraft. We have experience with the work to be performed. We have completed many aircraft in the last few years affected by the new AD’S. We are currently scheduling aircraft in for new time slots. The compliance time/hour requirements for the Inspections and Modification for the AD’S vary with each aircraft’s time in service (TIS).If you need assistance in determining the specific requirements for your aircraft please call us. The installation of these kits is very detailed and requires special equipment to complete the 450 to 500 hour installation. Maine Aviation Sales / Aircraft Maintenance of Maine is a world leader in Cessna 300 & 400 series Repair and Modification. We offer free pilot services for pickup and delivery (you pay fuel only).

We are also available for Annual Inspections, Engine changes, Prop changes, STC modifications, Avionics work and SID compliance for any 300/400 series work you require.
