Is this basically saying you can't do aerobatics in this airplane after it is about a couple of years old? AD WATCH: If you've been flying your Zlin (Moravan Z-242L) the way you thought it was rated, now's a good time to realistically total the number of aerobatic hours you've put it through. It seems the loads weren't properly calculated at certification time and no more than 190 hours of aerobatic and utility use in early models and 450 hours of that type of use in later models is considered safe. An AD has been issued on the Socata TB 21 to modify the exhaust system to prevent leaks into the cabin and owners of Air Tractors must repeatedly inspect the upper longeron and upper diagonal tube on the left side of the aft fuselage structure for signs of cracks.
