The FAA?s comment period for this AD closes on 16 March. At that point they will look at inputs from Superior, AOPA and other interested parties and decide to either cancel, amend or keep the AD as-is. If the AD is put into US law, it?s up to the SACAA to determine how it applies to you but most CAAs have reciprocal agreements to recognize other countries? ADs. So best case, I wouldn?t expect to see anything definite before late March.
Like you, I?m affected (and only a few weeks from being finished and ready to fly
). The shop that built my engine, Unlimited Aero Engines, repaired one of the failed engines that led to the AD and Superior was very good about sending replacement parts at no charge and paying for labor. I hope they?ll be as responsive in this case.
