Hello,
I am looking for advice. I appear to have developed a small crack in a gusset on the port side of my engine mount. See three photos attached.
Aircraft total 500 hours, circa 500 flights mostly from grass. Currently operating off a hard runway.
I have some queries:
1. Is the aircraft airworthy?
2. If it is a crack, what are my options for repairing?
3. Assuming it needs to be welded, do I have to remove the mount, given the relatively small size of the crack?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Andrew Butler.
