I learned something today...ok, its a low bar.
While working with my DAR (Gary Brown) filling out the 8130-6 correctly, he had me insert the number of the biweekly series of the AD Supplement (found on the FAA website) in the Airworthiness Directives block In section III. The block says to "Check if all applicable ADs are complied with and give the number of the last AD SUPPLEMENT...". I had entered "None" thinking - experimental category, non certified engine, AD's don't really apply. Not so fast!
Taking a second look, I thought I'd read through the list on the bi-weekly one more time thinking maybe there are certified/TSO'd components Van's has used that might be subject to an AD. Didn't find any but...I did find this:
Listed under "Various Aircraft" was AD 2018-03-05. It concerns ROTAX push-rod assemblies on their certified engines. That AD sources to ROTAX Service Bulletin 912-070 R1...which has a companion SB 912-070UL... Continued...
