 Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:44 pm Post subject: Wing spar inspection 520? |
 |
|
So, as I've gathered from my findings the 520 and the straight 560 never had the stainless steel strap that caused galvanic corrosion in the main wing spar. Neither does it have any recorded main spar failures in flight. That's all good and reassuring.
But as most pilots, my greatest fear would of course be to have a catastrophic wing spar failure in flight. The mere thought of that makes me pale. So I was wondering - is there an easy way to inspect the main wing spar in a 520? Just for my own calmness. Or is it an ordeal?

HI ADAM....During the course of a normal annual inspection,the spar will be inspected through the many inspection openings in the bottom of the wing. Since there is no bi metallic corrosion issue, a visual inspection is most adequate. BTW, is anyone attending the Twin Commander Factory fly.in in FL this month?? I will be speaking as we as a rep from Lycoming. Should be a great time. Jimmy Rodriguez, from P.R. is planning to attend. Hope to see you there!! jb
