TIL the FAA's new AD on the Cessna 172R flap actuator seems like overkill
I was at the Sun 'n Fun fly-in in Lakeland last week and got a look at the new service bulletin... everyone was talking about it like it was a must-do right now. I read the actual inspection criteria and it's for a specific batch of actuators with under 500 hours, but the chatter made it sound like every single one was grounded. Has anyone else actually had a failure, or is this just causing unnecessary panic and downtime?
